Hikvision NVR Choice DS-7716NI-K4 or DS-7716NI-I4?

Being new to the world of Ip CCTV.
i have purchased a number of 8mp Hik Cameras now i need an Nvr
I am not sure which to go for i have narrowed it down to firstly DS-7716NI-K4 second choice DS-7716NI-I4

The only difference i can see is the bandwidth also 12mp on the DS-7716NI-I4
are there any other notable differences which are worth paying the extra for.

Do the two models have the same GUI ?
What is a must for me is the smart search with the thumbnail search

Hi @dodge

The DS-7716NI-I4/16P is the most up-to-date model and runs the latest firmware/GUI with support for all the latest camera functions including the smart search.

If you are building a brand new system then we would definitely recommend the I-series NVR (7716NI-I4) as the best option to offer some future-proofing to your system.
