Hikvision DS-7208HQHI-S2/XT Digital Video Recorder
Hikvision DS-7208HQHI-S2/XT DVR: compare video inputs, encoding and storage options using this model's technical table. Signal compatibility and recording conditions guide installation planning.
Product description
The listed video input for Hikvision DS-7208HQHI-S2/XT is: 8-ch BNC ports(1.0 Vp-p, 75 Ω), supporting HDTVI/CVI/AHD/CVBS auto-detect. Check the input type before connecting an existing camera or video source. Do not add analog inputs to conditional IP camera limits to infer simultaneous total capacity.
Encoding specification: Main stream: When 1080p Lite mode not enabled: For 3K stream access: 3K lite@12 fps; 4 MP lite/1080p@15 fps; 720p/WD1/4CIF/VGA/CIF@20 fps For 5 MP stream access: 5 MP lite@12 fps; 4 MP lite/1080p@15 fps; 720p/WD1/4CIF/VGA/CIF@20 fps For 2K stream access: 2K@10 fps; 1080p@15 fps; 720p/WD1/4CIF/VGA/CIF@20 fps For 4 MP stream access: 4 MP lite/1080p@15 fps; 720p/WD1/4CIF/VGA/CIF@25 fps (P)/30 fps (N) For 1080p stream access: 1080p/720p@15 fps; VGA/WD1/4CIF/CIF@25 fps (P)/30 fps (N) For 720p stream access: 720p/VGA/WD1/4CIF/CIF@25 fps (P)/30 fps (N) When 1080p Lite mode enabled: 3K lite/5 MP lite@12 fps; 2K@10 fps; 4 MP lite@15 fps; 1080p lite/720p lite/VGA/WD1/4CIF/CIF@25 fps (P)/30 fps (N) Sub-stream: WD1/4CIF@12 fps; CIF@25 fps (P)/30 fps (N). Input signal resolution, recording/encoding resolution and display output are separate specifications. Evaluate the signal type alongside the frame-rate conditions in the technical table; do not treat modes marked Lite as full-resolution equivalents.
Storage specification: 2 SATA interface, up to 10 TB capacity for each disk. Interface support alone does not establish that storage media are included. Check the media type, capacity limit and supported recording functions against the technical table for this exact model.
