I am currently running two Hikvision ds-7716NI-i4/16p(b) at multiple locations. At 16 cameras each, they will only process at 1080p. My client wants to upgrade to all 32 cameras recording/decoding at 8.3MP(4k)(15-30fps).
Is there even an NVR out there that can do that?
I know I can get Four 8.3MP(4k) on the DS-7716NI-I4/16p(b).
Would I have to break them up into 8 NVR per site??

I know many of the higher end Dahua WizSense and WizMind NVRs will do 10-channel 8 MP@30 fps

I'm not sure but I would think reducing to 15fps you may gain a bit more?

Keep in mind; decoding resolution is what it can display in live view and playback.
The incoming and outgoing bandwidth are your limits for camera resolution. All cameras need to be within the incoming bandwidth data rate.

I just assumed he was talking about displaying live feed on monitors ?

I appreciate each of your correspondence.
Bigredfish is correct in assuming displaying live feeds. I did find some of the NVR you mentioned, and 10@8MP/30 seem to be the limit for a single unit. Which I think will work out well.
Mark_M. I understand what you are saying. The recording and displaying have different metrics. My application uses two units per location. each unit displays on two monitors, one with all 16 cameras, and the 2nd with 4-7 at a station. I do not need the monitors to display every camera in 4k. I only need the playback to be 4k. So, if I configure the NVR to display in a lower resolution (perhaps with the substream), and record in 4k, I could find a machine that can process all that in a single machine? OR is this not possible, because the incoming video will be 8.3MP, and still must be decoded to even display a lower resolution?
