Hikvision 4-Channel IP 8MP NVR Recorder with Motion Detection 2.0
HWN-4104MH(E) Hikvision 4-Channel IP 8MP NVR with Motion Detection 2.0
The Hikvision HWN-4104MH(E) is a compact black NVR recorder for IP video surveillance installations with up to 4 cameras. It is a very practical solution for homes, shops and small professional installations where good recording quality, easy configuration and a reliable device within the HiWatch range are required.
This NVR works in IP security systems and supports cameras with recording resolution of up to 8 MP, using H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 compression to optimise storage without compromising sharp image quality. Its decoding capacity allows installations with high-resolution cameras to be managed while maintaining smooth viewing in NVR recorder projects.
Unlike PoE models, the HWN-4104MH(E) does not power cameras directly from the recorder. Data transmission is carried out over the network through its LAN port, while the cameras must be powered separately using an external power supply, PoE switch or PoE injector. This makes it a suitable option for installations where an independent network or power infrastructure is already available.
The HWN-4104MH(E) is not a spare part, but a main unit for new installations or expansions of IP video surveillance. Its most notable feature is the inclusion of Motion Detection 2.0 with human/vehicle analysis on 1 channel. This means that the recorder supports up to 4 IP cameras, but intelligent classification of people and vehicles can only be applied to 1 configured camera or channel, not to all channels at the same time.
This intelligent detection can distinguish events associated with people or vehicles from generic movement in the scene, helping to reduce false alarms caused by changes in light, shadows, rain, vegetation, reflections or other irrelevant movement. Compared with conventional motion detection, it offers more accurate and useful event management for the end user.
To ensure the correct operation of human/vehicle classification, it is recommended to use Hikvision IP cameras or models compatible with Motion Detection 2.0. Even so, some advanced functions may depend on camera compatibility, system configuration and the installed firmware version.
Thanks to its 1U format, low weight, simultaneous HDMI/VGA output, SATA support up to 8 TB and dual USB 2.0 ports, it fits very well in installations where the installer is looking for order, reliability and efficient recording management without requiring PoE integrated into the NVR itself.
