Secure your home or business premises with a standard 4-channel recorder, NVR, DVR or XVR, to record your CCTV camera footage. Add more HDD storage to keep longer recordings from weeks to months.
WizSense AI · 4-Channel · 4-PoE · 4K
The Dahua DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ is a 4-channel WizSense AI NVR with 4 built-in PoE+ ports, 4K HDMI output, and a dedicated deep-learning chip for face recognition, perimeter protection and SMD Plus motion analytics. Record up to 16 MP per channel, plug all four cameras directly into the back of the recorder, and view live or playback from your phone via DMSS — all from a compact desktop chassis small enough to live in a media cabinet.
This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix), shipping with regional firmware, an AS/NZS-compliant 53 VDC adaptor, and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. The entry-level WizSense NVR — perfect for homes, single-shop retail, small offices and granny flats that need fewer than five cameras and the same enterprise-grade AI as the bigger Dahua recorders.

Frequently asked questions
Is 80 Mbps bandwidth enough for 4 cameras?
Yes — for 4 cameras at up to 4 MP each running Smart H.265+, comfortably within the 80 Mbps envelope. If you're planning to run all four channels at 8 MP @ 30 fps with the highest bitrate, you'll hit the ceiling — step up to the NVR4108HS-8P (256 Mbps) for headroom. For typical home and small-shop installs, 80 Mbps is plenty.
How many cameras can the built-in PoE actually power?
All 4 ports deliver PoE+ up to 25.5 W each, but the total budget across the recorder is 36 W. That comfortably runs 4 standard bullets / turrets at 5-9 W each. If you're planning a PTZ or IR-heavy camera (~15-20 W), you may need to keep the other ports on lower-draw cameras or use an external PoE injector.
Does this NVR support AcuPick?
No — AcuPick is reserved for Dahua's 5-Series WizSense Plus NVRs paired with TiOC PV cameras. This is a 4-Series NVR, so it supports Quick Pick instead (the original colour/clothing-based target search). If you specifically need AcuPick, ask CCTV Guru about a 5-Series NVR.
Will it work with my non-Dahua IP cameras?
Yes. The NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ supports ONVIF Profile T/S/G (version 21.12) and has native integration for Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Axis, Pelco, Arecont and Canon. AI features run best with Dahua WizSense cameras, but standard recording works with any ONVIF-compliant camera.
What hard drive should I install?
Use a surveillance-rated SATA HDD up to 16 TB — Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk. Standard desktop drives are not rated for 24/7 recording and will fail prematurely. For 4 cameras at 4 MP H.265+ on motion-record, a 2-4 TB drive gives roughly 30-60 days of retention.
Is the DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ NDAA Section 889 compliant?
No. Dahua products are not currently NDAA Section 889 compliant. If NDAA compliance is required (federal, government or defence installs), choose a Uniview, Hanwha, Axis, Bosch or IDIS NVR instead — CCTV Guru can recommend an equivalent.
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes — install the free DMSS app on iOS or Android, scan the QR code on the NVR's local menu, and you'll have live view, playback, push notifications and two-way audio without configuring port forwarding or a static IP.
Why is the network port only 10/100 Mbps?
The NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ uses Fast Ethernet on the uplink because the recorder's total bandwidth is 80 Mbps — well within Fast Ethernet capacity. The 8-channel and 16-channel siblings use Gigabit because their 256 Mbps capacity exceeds 100 Mbps. This isn't a bottleneck for this model; the 80 Mbps cap is the same number whether the port is 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.

Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P 4 Channel 4 PoE 1U 4K NVR
The Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P is a compact 4-channel 4 PoE Network Video Recorder built around Hikvision's latest M Series platform. It records and manages up to 4 IP cameras at resolutions up to 32 MP per channel, decodes 4 × 8 MP streams simultaneously, and drives an external monitor at true 8K HDMI output — all from a small, silent 1U chassis that's perfect for Australian homes, retail counters, offices and small commercial sites.
Four built-in PoE ports power and connect your cameras over a single Cat6 run, so installation is genuinely plug-and-play. A single SATA bay accepts a surveillance-grade HDD up to 16 TB — giving you weeks of high-resolution footage on a clean, energy-efficient recorder.

Why this 4-channel NVR is the sweet spot for small sites
Most Australian homes, shops and offices need 3–4 cameras — not 8 or 16. The DS-7604NI-M1/4P is sized precisely for that real-world scenario, but unlike entry-level recorders it gives you the same 8K HDMI output, 32 MP camera support and H.265+ smart compression as Hikvision's higher channel-count NVRs. Buy once, future-proofed for the next generation of 4K and 4K+ AcuSense cameras.
True 32 MP Input Support
Each of the four channels accepts cameras up to 32 MP — so you can deploy Hikvision PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense models without throttling resolution.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification to filter out leaves, animals and shadows — drastically reducing false alarms.
4 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to each camera, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with auto-detection — plug your cameras in and they appear automatically.
Single-SATA, 16 TB Capacity
Drop in a Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple drive up to 16 TB for weeks of continuous 4K H.265+ recording — silent, low-power, and rated for 24/7 surveillance duty.
8K HDMI & VGA Outputs
Drive an 8K (7680 × 4320) monitor for ultra-sharp playback, or use the independent VGA output to run a second viewing screen at the same time.
H.265+ Smart Compression
Hikvision's H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 75% versus H.264 — meaning more days of footage on the same drive, or the same retention on a smaller drive.

Frequently asked questions
Does the DS-7604NI-M1/4P come with a hard drive?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru can pre-fit a Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drive from 2 TB to 16 TB — choose your preferred capacity at checkout.
Will it work with non-Hikvision cameras?
Yes — the NVR is ONVIF compatible and works with most third-party ONVIF IP cameras. For full AcuSense smart features you'll need genuine Hikvision AcuSense-compatible cameras.
Can I view recordings on my phone?
Yes — set up Hik-Connect on iOS or Android for free remote live view, playback and motion alerts. No port forwarding required.
What cameras does it pair best with?
Any Hikvision IP camera — but to unlock AcuSense smart features pair it with Hikvision AcuSense cameras such as the ColorVu, AcuSense Pro and DarkFighter ranges.
How many days of recording will I get?
At full 4K H.265+ on all 4 channels with 24/7 recording, expect roughly 12–14 days per 4 TB drive. Motion-only recording typically triples that figure.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NVR1004H have built-in PoE ports?
No. The NVR1004H does not include PoE ports. To power PoE cameras, you will need a separate PoE switch connected between the NVR and your cameras. If you prefer an all-in-one solution with built-in PoE, consider the VIGI NVR1004H-4P, which includes four 802.3af/at PoE ports.
Does the NVR come with a hard drive?
No — a hard drive is not included. The NVR1004H supports one 3.5" SATA drive up to 10 TB. We recommend a surveillance-grade drive such as the Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple series, designed for the continuous read/write demands of 24/7 NVR recording.
Does it only work with VIGI cameras?
The NVR1004H is optimised for VIGI cameras and offers plug-and-play auto-detection with the full VIGI range. It also supports third-party ONVIF-compatible IP cameras, though advanced features such as smart detection alerts may not be available with non-VIGI cameras.
Can I access recordings remotely on my phone?
Yes. The free VIGI app (iOS and Android) provides live view, playback, and smart detection push notifications from anywhere with an internet connection. No subscription fee is required for remote access.
How much recording time does 1 TB of storage provide?
Storage duration depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, and recording schedule. As a general guide, four 4MP cameras recording continuously with H.265+ compression will typically fill 1 TB in approximately 7–10 days. A 4 TB drive extends this to roughly 28–40 days of continuous recording.
Can I expand beyond four cameras?
No — the NVR1004H supports a maximum of four channels. For larger deployments, consider the VIGI NVR1008H (8-channel) or NVR2016H (16-channel).
Does it support motion-triggered recording?
Yes. The NVR1004H supports continuous, schedule-based, motion-triggered, and smart detection-triggered recording. When paired with compatible VIGI cameras, it can trigger recording based on person or vehicle detection events.
