The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, situated in the Khomas Highland in Namibia. Since the inauguration in 2004, it has discovered numerous new sources of very high energy (VHE, > 100 GeV) gamma-rays. Currently a fifth bigger telescope is under construction which will significantly reduce the energy threshold as well as increase the sensitivity of the whole arrray. This talk will give a detailed overview over the data acquisition system and the corresponding hardware in the light of the demands of new telescope.
