Hikvision HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 Rackmount VMS Server
The Hikvision HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 is a professional rackmount video management server designed for HikCentral Professional security systems. It combines server hardware, operating system and HikCentral platform capability into one integrated appliance, helping simplify deployment for larger CCTV and site management projects.
This model includes 64 video channels by default and is designed for projects where a standard NVR is not enough, or where multiple recorders, cameras, users and sites need to be managed from a central HikCentral interface. Hikvision describes this server as an all-in-one hardware and software solution with no additional activation required out of the box, and with a pre-installed operating system for easier deployment. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Ideal For Professional HikCentral Deployments
The HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 is suited to commercial, industrial, education, retail, government, warehouse and multi-site surveillance environments where centralised video management is required. It is designed for system integrators and end users who need a dedicated server platform for HikCentral Professional rather than relying on a general-purpose PC or workstation.
Typical applications include:
- Medium to large Hikvision CCTV systems
- Multi-NVR or multi-site video management
- Control rooms and security offices
- Schools, warehouses, factories and commercial buildings
- Integrated CCTV, access control and alarm management projects
- Projects requiring future expansion beyond the initial 64 camera channels
64 Channel Base VMS Server
This server provides 64 video management channels by default. With additional licensing, the platform can be expanded up to 3000 video channels, including ANPR cameras and cameras with face capture functionality. This gives installers and end users a scalable foundation for larger HikCentral systems. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The server can also be expanded with additional licensing for other HikCentral resources, including access control, indoor stations, ANPR cameras, entrance and exit lanes, alarm panels, smart walls and attendance functions. Access control is not included by default, but can be expanded up to 1024 doors or outdoor stations with the relevant licences. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Enterprise-Grade Hardware Platform
The HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 is built on a 1U rackmount hardware platform with an E-2434 CPU, 16GB DDR5 memory and 2 x 2TB 7.2K SATA hot-plug hard drives configured in RAID 1. RAID 1 provides mirrored storage for the system drives, helping improve resilience compared with a single-drive setup. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
The server includes four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive slots, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, VGA output, USB connectivity and a 600W dual power supply. It is designed for installation into a standard rack environment and has a compact 1U form factor. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Pre-Installed Windows Server 2019
The HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 is supplied with Windows Server 2019 multilingual version pre-installed. This reduces setup complexity and allows the system to be deployed more quickly compared with building a HikCentral server from scratch. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
For installers, this means less time spent sourcing hardware, installing the operating system and preparing the platform. For end users, it provides a purpose-built Hikvision-supported VMS server solution designed for compatibility with HikCentral Professional.
Expandable HikCentral Security Platform
Although supplied as a 64 channel video management server, this model is designed to support larger integrated security systems through extra licensing. Depending on the project requirements and licences selected, the platform can support expanded video management, access control, ANPR, face capture, alarm panel integration, indoor stations, smart wall functions and attendance modules.
This makes the HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 a strong option when a site may start with CCTV but later require access control, vehicle entry management, central monitoring, video wall operation or advanced event handling.

Why Choose a Dedicated HikCentral VMS Server?
A dedicated VMS server is recommended when the site requires more than basic recording. HikCentral Professional allows operators to manage video, users, permissions, events and system resources from a central platform. This is particularly useful where there are multiple NVRs, multiple buildings, different user roles, or a requirement for future expansion.
Using a purpose-built HikCentral server also avoids many of the issues that can occur when attempting to run a professional VMS on underpowered or unsuitable hardware. The HikCentral-P-VER/HW1D/64 provides a tested hardware and software platform designed specifically for HikCentral deployments.
Important Licensing Note
This server includes 64 video channels by default. Additional functions such as access control, ANPR, face capture, smart wall, attendance and larger camera counts may require separate HikCentral licences. Please confirm the required channel count and modules before ordering so the correct licence structure can be supplied for your project.
Best Suited To
- Commercial CCTV systems requiring central management
- Sites with multiple Hikvision NVRs
- Security control rooms
- Large schools and campuses
- Warehouses and industrial facilities
- Retail centres and multi-tenancy buildings
- Projects requiring future access control or ANPR integration
