WizSense + AcuPick · 5-Series · 64-Channel · 8-HDD RAID · 2U The Dahua DHI-NVR5864-AI/ANZ is a 64-channel 5-Series WizSense AI NVR with AcuPick, eight SATA bays, RAID 0/1/5/6/10 support, dual Gigabit NICs, dual HDMI + dual VGA outputs, and a 2U rack chassis built for long-retention enterprise installs. Record up to 32 MP per channel, run AcuPick across up to 32 channels, drive a 64-channel split on the main monitor, and scale storage to roughly 128 TB on-board with hardware RAID protection. This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix). It's a headend NVR with no built-in PoE — cameras connect through an external PoE switch or your existing managed network. Internal 100–240 VAC universal PSU and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. Designed for casinos, transport hubs, hospitals, government and any site that needs RAID-protected storage with 90+ days of retention on 64 cameras. AcuPick, N+M cluster, iSCSI and ONVIF 23.12 are enabled by Dahua's V5 firmware (current factory ship as of 2025). 8 HDD bays · RAID 0/1/5/6/10 · ~128 TB on-board Storage 8 SATA · ~128 TB on-board Hardware RAID RAID 0 · 1 · 5 · 6 · 10 Eight surveillance-grade bays Drop in up to eight WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk or equivalent surveillance HDDs (each up to 16 TB) — months of 64-channel recording without touching network storage. Hot-swap behind the front door for quick maintenance. RAID 5 / RAID 6 for redundancy Survive single-drive (RAID 5) or dual-drive (RAID 6) failures with zero footage loss. Rebuilds run in the background while recording continues — ideal for casinos, government and compliance-driven installs. RAID 10 for performance + safety Mirror-of-stripes configuration combines RAID 0's throughput with RAID 1's redundancy — useful when the NVR is also a fast playback workstation for the control room. eSATA + iSCSI expansion External SATA archive port plus iSCSI network-storage support — scale beyond 128 TB without rebuilding the recorder. Run hot-tier on the eight on-board RAID bays, archive-tier on iSCSI / eSATA. AcuPick on up to 32 channels — enterprise-scale search AcuPick Channels Up to 32 ch · 1 event / channel / sec Search Method Image + attribute · front + back AI Search by reference image Click any person or vehicle in recorded video, hit AcuPick, and the NVR scans the active 32 channels for matches across hours, days or weeks — clothing colour, body shape, vehicle make / model / colour / direction included. Front- + back-end intelligence Camera-side AI extracts target attributes during recording; NVR-side AI runs the comparison. Higher accuracy than recorder-only search and orders of magnitude faster than human review. Investigations finish in minutes Find a suspect across the AcuPick-active channels and weeks of RAID-protected footage in a single search. Particularly valuable for police investigations, insurance disputes, and post-incident review. ANPR + SMD Plus on all 64 While AcuPick covers up to 32 channels, ANPR by camera, SMD Plus by camera and perimeter protection by camera all scale across every connected camera up to 64 — site-wide intelligence with no channel left behind. 5-Series WizSense AI — depth at scale Industrial AI Chip Same chip as flagship 5-Series siblings Face Database 20 databases · 20,000 images Face Recognition (16-ch image stream) 16 channels of camera-side face detection feeding NVR-side recognition at 16 face snapshots/sec — ideal for entry / exit and high-footfall installs. Twenty face databases, 20,000 images, full attribute filtering. Perimeter Protection (4 ch by NVR) 4 NVR-side channels of tripwire and intrusion analytics (10 IVS rules each), plus all-channel perimeter via camera-side processing — every camera benefits from human/vehicle classification. SMD Plus (8 ch by NVR) 8 NVR-side SMD Plus channels plus all-channel camera-side SMD — deep-learning second-pass classification on every camera, cutting false alarms across the entire site. ANPR by camera (all channels) Pair with Dahua ANPR cameras for full 64-channel licence-plate recognition feeding a 20,000-plate database with blocklist / allowlist control. Carpark, fleet yard, gate management, even multi-site ANPR. Video Metadata search 8 channels of camera-side metadata extraction — top colour, bottom colour, hat, bag, umbrella, gender, age, vehicle make / model / colour / plate, helmet wear and more. N+M cluster failover Pair multiple 5-Series NVRs in an N+M cluster — backup recorders automatically take over if a primary fails, ensuring zero footage loss for sites where downtime isn't an option.

NVR5864 vs the family — how it compares The 5864 (this model) is the storage flagship of the 5-Series AI/ANZ NVR range — double the HDD count of the 5464, hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10, and a 2U chassis with extra alarm outputs and serial ports. Choose this when retention, redundancy or compliance-grade storage matters more than the smaller 1.5U footprint. For 64 channels in a smaller 1.5U chassis with 4 HDDs, step down to the 5464. 5-Series 64-Channel Comparison Specification NVR5864-AI/ANZ (this model) NVR5464-AI/ANZ IP channels (licence) 64 64 AcuPick channels Up to 32 Up to 32 Main-screen split Up to 64 Up to 64 Max camera resolution 32 MP 32 MP Bandwidth (AI off / on) 384 / 200 Mbps 384 / 200 Mbps HDD bays 8 SATA · ~128 TB 4 SATA · ~64 TB Hardware RAID RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10 Disk groups only Form factor 2U · 6.4 kg 1.5U · 4.74 kg Alarm outputs 8 (incl. 12 V) 6 (incl. 12 V) RS-485 ports 2 (half + full duplex) 1 (half-duplex) USB ports 4 (2 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0) 3 (1 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0) Built-in PoE None (external switch) None (external switch) eSATA · iSCSI Yes / Yes Yes / Yes Network ports 2 × Gigabit (bondable) 2 × Gigabit (bondable) Video outputs 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA ONVIF (V5 firmware) 23.12 (T / S / G) 23.12 (T / S / G) N+M cluster · Warranty Yes / 3 years Yes / 3 years Full Specifications Model DHI-NVR5864-AI/ANZ Series WizSense · NVR5000-AI/ANZ (Australia / NZ market) Form factor 2U · 8-HDD · rack or desktop · NO built-in PoE IP channels 64 · up to 32 MP per channel Supported resolutions 32 MP · 24 MP · 16 MP · 12 MP · 8 MP · 5 MP · 4 MP · 1080p · 720p · D1 · CIF · QCIF Bandwidth (AI off) 384 Mbps incoming / 384 Mbps record / 384 Mbps outgoing Bandwidth (AI on) 200 Mbps incoming / 200 Mbps record / 200 Mbps outgoing Decoding (AI off) 2 × 32 MP @ 20 fps · 2 × 24 MP @ 20 fps · 4 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 5 × 12 MP @ 30 fps · 8 × 8 MP @ 30 fps · 12 × 5 MP @ 30 fps · 16 × 4 MP @ 30 fps · 32 × 1080p @ 30 fps Decoding (AI on) 1 × 32 MP @ 20 fps · 1 × 24 MP @ 20 fps · 2 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 4 × 12 MP @ 30 fps · 4 × 8 MP @ 30 fps · 8 × 5 MP @ 30 fps · 12 × 4 MP @ 30 fps · 24 × 1080p @ 30 fps Video compression Smart H.265+ · H.265 · Smart H.264+ · H.264 · MJPEG Audio compression G.711a · G.711u · PCM · G.726 AI engine WizSense (industrial AI chip, deep-learning) · AcuPick supported AcuPick Up to 32 channels · 1 combined event per channel/sec (V5 firmware) Face Detection (NVR) 2 channels · up to 12 face snapshots/sec each Face Recognition (NVR) 16 ch (FD by camera + FR by recorder, 16 fps) · or 2 ch (FD+FR by recorder, 12 fps) Face Database 20 databases · 20,000 images · 2.5 GB · gender / age / glasses / expression / mask / beard attributes Perimeter Protection 4 channels by NVR · 16 channels by camera · 10 IVS rules per channel SMD Plus 8 channels by NVR · 16 channels by camera Video Metadata 8 channels (camera-side) · human / motor / non-motor vehicle attributes ANPR (by camera) 8 channels · 20,000-plate database · blocklist / allowlist AI by Camera (passthrough) Face detection · Face recognition · Video metadata · Perimeter protection · SMD Plus · Stereo analysis · Crowd distribution · People counting · ANPR · Vehicle density · Heat map N+M cluster · iSCSI · eSATA Yes / Yes / Yes HDD bays 8 × SATA · up to 16 TB per drive (~128 TB max) RAID modes RAID 0 · RAID 1 · RAID 5 · RAID 6 · RAID 10 Video output 2 × HDMI (4K · 3840×2160) + 2 × VGA (1080p) · heterogeneous HDMI1/HDMI2 · simultaneous VGA1+HDMI1 / VGA2+HDMI2 Multi-screen display Main screen: 1 / 4 / 8 / 9 / 16 / 25 / 36 / 64 · Sub screen: 1 / 4 / 8 / 9 / 16 Audio I/O 1 × RCA in · 2 × RCA out Alarm I/O 16 × alarm in · 8 × alarm out (1 × 12 V 1 A power output) USB 4 ports: 2 × front USB 2.0 + 2 × rear USB 3.0 Network ports 2 × RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps) · multi-address / load-balance / fault-tolerance bonding PoE None (use external PoE switch) RS-232 / RS-485 1 RS-232 · 2 RS-485 (1 half-duplex + 1 full-duplex) eSATA 1 port (external archive) Network protocols HTTP / HTTPS · TCP/IP · IPv4/IPv6 · RTSP · UDP · SNMP · NTP · DHCP · DNS · SMTP · UPnP · IP Filter · PPPoE · FTP · DDNS · Alarm Server · Multicast · P2P · Auto Registration ONVIF 23.12 on V5 firmware (Profile T / S / G) · CGI · SDK Third-party camera support ONVIF · Panasonic · Sony · Axis · Arecont · Pelco · Canon · Samsung · Hanwha Mobile app DMSS (iOS / Android) Record modes General · motion detection · intelligent · alarm · POS Backup USB device · network Power supply 100 – 240 VAC · 50 – 60 Hz (internal universal-voltage PSU) Power consumption ≤ 13 W NVR-side (without HDD) Operating temperature −10 °C to +55 °C Operating humidity 10% – 93% RH Dimensions 439.9 × 457.9 × 89 mm (2U) Net weight 6.4 kg Installation Rack or desktop Recommended firmware DH_NVR5XXX-EI_MultiLang V5.001.0000000.0.R.251220 (or later) — required for AcuPick, N+M cluster, iSCSI and ONVIF 23.12 Certifications FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class A · CE-EMC · CE-LVD · Security Baseline 2.3 Warranty 3 years (CCTV Guru Australia) Downloads & documentation Download official Dahua documents for setup, specifications, and recorder details. DHI-NVR5864-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua NVR HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions What's the real benefit of RAID over disk groups? Disk groups (on the 5464) protect against single-drive failures by warning you and isolating the bad drive — but you lose the recordings on that drive. RAID 5 and RAID 6 mathematically distribute parity across all drives, so a single (RAID 5) or even dual (RAID 6) drive failure causes zero footage loss. Compliance-driven sites (banks, casinos, healthcare, government) often require RAID for this reason. Should I run RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10? RAID 5 (single-disk redundancy) gives 7 × 16 TB ≈ 112 TB usable across 8 × 16 TB drives — the typical default for surveillance. RAID 6 (dual-disk redundancy) gives ~96 TB usable but survives two simultaneous failures — recommended for critical sites. RAID 10 (mirror-of-stripes) gives ~64 TB usable but extremely fast playback — useful when the NVR drives the control-room wall directly. Does this NVR really support AcuPick? Yes. Dahua's V5 firmware (binary DH_NVR5XXX-EI_MultiLang_V5.001.0000000.0.R.251220 or later) enables AcuPick on the AI/ANZ unit alongside N+M cluster, iSCSI and ONVIF 23.12. The firmware is published on Dahua AU's official product page for this model and ships from CCTV Guru with V5 installed. Older 2023-vintage datasheets predate this firmware, which is why some online documentation doesn't mention AcuPick. Why is AcuPick capped at 32 channels when the NVR supports 64? AcuPick is heavy on AI-chip resources — running attribute extraction and image-search against 64 channels simultaneously isn't possible on the current 5-Series silicon. You choose which 32 of the 64 channels run AcuPick (the rest still record, and still get ANPR / SMD Plus / perimeter via camera-side AI). Why doesn't it have built-in PoE? The 5864 is a headend NVR for sites with managed PoE switches. Sixty-four cameras through fixed PoE ports would need a 3–4U chassis with much higher power draw. Most 64-camera installs already have a switching layer, and dedicated PoE switches give you better cable layout, VLANs and redundancy than fixed-port PoE. How much storage do I need for 64 cameras at 90 days retention? For 64 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, expect ~100–120 TB for 90 days. Eight 16 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple Pro, Seagate SkyHawk AI) in RAID 5 gives ~112 TB usable — exactly the right size. RAID 6 across the same 8 drives gives ~96 TB usable with two-disk redundancy. Is the DHI-NVR5864-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 it be rack-mounted? Yes — 2U / 440 mm wide fits a standard 19-inch rack with ears (rack ears sold separately). At 6.4 kg empty (without HDDs), plan for ~13–15 kg fully loaded with eight drives. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 64 Channel · 2U Enterprise The Hikvision DS-9664NI-M8 is Hikvision's flagship 64-channel M Series 8K Network Video Recorder — built for serious Australian enterprise sites where one recorder needs to manage every camera in a building, campus, depot or multi-site backbone. 64 IP camera inputs, 400 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 8 SATA bays for up to 128 TB, RAID-grade redundancy and 4 simultaneous display outputs (2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA) make this the recorder you specify when downtime, footage loss or "we ran out of channels" are not on the table. This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre or wireless backhaul). Pair it with any of Hikvision's enterprise managed switches or third-party PoE infrastructure, then let the M8 handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display, RAID redundancy and centralised management for all 64 channels. Channels 64 CH · Up to 32 MP Bandwidth 400 Mbps Incoming Display 2 × HDMI · 2 × VGA Storage 8 × SATA · Up to 128 TB Why 64 channels in one chassis matters Most large Australian sites running 50–60 cameras end up with two 32-channel NVRs — which means two devices to commission, two firmware update cycles, two user databases, two playback interfaces, and two separate footage archives that have to be cross-referenced when an incident spans multiple cameras. The DS-9664NI-M8 collapses all of that into a single 2U chassis: one recorder, one login, one timeline, one search. It's the difference between managing a security system and fighting one. 64-Channel 32 MP Input Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate. 400 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth Comfortably runs a full deployment of 4K H.265+ cameras across all 64 channels simultaneously — no bottlenecks, no compromise on framerate or bitrate. Octa-SATA, 128 TB Capacity Eight internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering month-long retention even with all 64 cameras at full 4K bitrates. Dual HDMI + Dual VGA Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator control rooms. RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10 Configure RAID across the 8 SATA bays to balance capacity, redundancy and performance. RAID 5 or 6 protects footage from single or dual drive failure without operator intervention. AcuSense Smart Detection When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification across all 64 channels — filtering false alarms and making playback searches fast.

No — this is a non-PoE enterprise chassis. It's designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone. If you need built-in PoE for some channels, look at the DS-7732NI-M4/24P (32-channel, 24 PoE) as a sibling option. Does it come with hard drives? The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk, WD Purple or enterprise-grade Exos drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout. What RAID levels are supported? RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are all supported across the 8 SATA bays. For most enterprise deployments we recommend RAID 5 (single drive redundancy) or RAID 6 (dual drive redundancy) — both protect footage if a drive fails. Can it really output 8K and 4K at the same time? Yes — HDMI 1 outputs true 8K (7680×4320) @ 30 Hz, and HDMI 2 outputs 4K @ 60 Hz, from independent sources. With the addition of two independent VGA outputs, you can run up to four monitors at once from a single NVR. Is it rack-mountable? Yes — the 2U chassis is designed for 19" racks and ships with rack-mount ears. Fits standard server, comms or AV racks at 90 mm height. 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. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 64 Channel · 3U Enterprise · 256 TB The Hikvision DS-9664NI-M16 is the largest single-chassis Network Video Recorder Hikvision builds — 64 IP camera channels, 16 internal SATA bays, up to 256 TB of total storage, and a 3U enterprise rack chassis purpose-built for sites where footage retention is measured in months, not weeks. Hospitals, casinos, ports, large hotels, multi-building campuses, prisons, mining sites and government facilities — the DS-9664NI-M16 is the recorder you specify when nothing smaller will do. This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre, wireless backhaul or third-party power injectors). Combine the M16 with your existing switching infrastructure and let it handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display, RAID redundancy, N+M hot-spare protection and centralised management for all 64 channels in one rack unit. Channels 64 CH · Up to 32 MP Bandwidth 400 Mbps Incoming Display 2 × HDMI · 2 × VGA Storage 16 × SATA · Up to 256 TB Why 16 SATA bays and 256 TB change the project economics For most enterprise sites, the biggest hidden cost in a CCTV system isn't the cameras or the NVR — it's the storage. A 64-camera 4K H.265+ deployment can chew through 60–80 TB per month at 24/7 recording. With most NVRs you'd need a separate dedicated SAN, an iSCSI target server or a stack of multiple recorders just to hold a quarter of footage. The DS-9664NI-M16 collapses all of that into one 3U chassis with 16 SATA bays — fill it with 16 TB enterprise drives and you have over 3 months of continuous 4K retention on every camera, in a single rack unit, with no extra servers, no extra licensing, no extra failure points. 64-Channel 32 MP Input Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate. 256 TB Maximum Storage Sixteen internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering three-month-plus retention even with all 64 cameras at full 4K bitrate. RAID 0/1/5/6/10 + N+M Hot Spare Configure full RAID across the 16 SATA bays, plus N+M hot-spare drives that automatically take over if a working drive fails — zero operator intervention, zero footage loss. Dual HDMI + Dual VGA Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator 24/7 control rooms. 400 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth Comfortably runs a full deployment of 4K H.265+ cameras across all 64 channels simultaneously — no bottlenecks, no compromise on framerate or bitrate.

DS-9664NI-M16 Datasheet Quick Start Guide User Manual LiveGuard Setup (Web GUI) LiveGuard Setup (NVR GUI) Frequently asked questions What's the difference between the M16 and the M8? The M16 has twice the SATA bays (16 vs 8) and double the storage capacity (256 TB vs 128 TB), in a slightly taller 3U chassis vs the M8's 2U. Same 64 channels, same 400 Mbps bandwidth, same dual HDMI + dual VGA. Choose the M16 if you need maximum storage retention; choose the M8 if rack space is tight. Is there a redundant-power version available? Yes — the DS-9664NI-M16/R has dual hot-swappable PSUs for sites where power redundancy is mandatory (data centres, critical infrastructure, government). Contact our Australian team if you need the /R variant. Does it come with hard drives? The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout. For 256 TB max, fit 16 × 16 TB drives in RAID 6 for dual-drive failure protection. Does the M16 have built-in PoE? No — this is a non-PoE enterprise chassis. It's designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone. The M Series PoE variants (DS-7732NI-M4/24P, DS-7732NI-M4/16P) max out at 32 channels. What is N+M hot spare? It's a step beyond standard RAID: configure N working drives plus M designated hot-spare drives. If any working drive fails, a spare automatically replaces it and rebuilds the array — no operator intervention, no downtime, no footage at risk. 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. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support
