Dahua AcuPick NVR

S2 generation · NVR NEXT · 8 channels · 8 PoE/ePoE ports Dahua DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ-S2 — 8-channel AcuPick NVR with 8K HDMI The Dahua DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ-S2 brings the S2 generation of WizSense recording to eight-camera CCTV systems. It combines eight built-in PoE+ ports, AcuPick video search and two SATA hard-drive bays with an 8K HDMI output and the NVR NEXT interface. It suits homes, shops and smaller commercial sites that need central recording and more capable event review. This is the S2 model. Compared with the earlier NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ, it increases bandwidth with AI disabled and expands several recorder-side analytics capacities. It remains an eight-camera recorder: larger decoding figures do not increase the number of cameras you can connect. Cameras, HDDs and optional accessories are separate unless expressly included in your order. Key features AcuPick with two processing options Use up to 4 channels of recorder-side AcuPick, or camera-side AcuPick across all 8 channels with suitable cameras. Search for a person or vehicle of interest in recorded footage; compatible cameras, firmware and configuration determine the available workflow. More recorder-side analytics The S2 supports 8-channel perimeter protection, 4-channel face detection and recognition, and 4-channel video metadata. Configure the function you need for each scene; headline capacities are not a promise that every AI mode runs simultaneously. 8K HDMI and NVR NEXT Connect a compatible 8K display to use the 7680 × 4320 HDMI output, or select a supported lower resolution. The modular NVR NEXT interface organises viewing, playback and configuration. VGA supports up to Full HD. 32MP input and 448 Mbps bandwidth Record up to 8 IP cameras, with supported input resolutions up to 32MP. Incoming, recording and outgoing bandwidth are each rated at up to 448 Mbps with AI disabled, or 200 Mbps with AI enabled. 8 PoE+ ports with ePoE All eight camera ports support IEEE 802.3af/at and Dahua ePoE. The shared PoE budget is 130 W, with a maximum of 25.5 W per port. Check every camera’s power demand, especially PTZ and active-deterrence models. Two HDD bays for longer retention Install up to two compatible SATA surveillance drives, each up to 20 TB subject to Dahua’s temperature-dependent limit. Capacity, bitrate and recording schedule determine retention. HDDs are sold separately unless explicitly included in your order. Choose the right AI workflow for your cameras AI by recorder means the NVR performs the specified analysis. AI by camera uses events or metadata generated by a compatible camera. This distinction matters when planning AcuPick, face recognition, number-plate recognition or people counting: connecting an ordinary IP camera does not automatically give it every camera-side feature listed for the recorder. For example, the S2 supports four recorder-side AcuPick channels, while compatible camera-side AcuPick can cover all eight inputs. Likewise, ANPR requires a suitable ANPR camera and correct installation. Detection and search results depend on lighting, camera position, image quality and settings; review results before taking action. Ask us to check the full camera model and firmware before purchase. What changes from the previous model? The comparison below uses Dahua's current exact-model documents for the earlier DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ and this DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ-S2. Some functions are unchanged, and the S2 is not a blanket upgrade to every series-level feature. Previous model vs S2 Specification NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ — previous model NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ-S2 — this model IP camera channels 8 8 Maximum camera input 32MP 32MP Maximum HDMI resolution 4K: 3840 × 2160 8K: 7680 × 4320 Bandwidth, AI off / AI on 384 / 200 Mbps 448 / 200 Mbps Recorder-side perimeter protection 4 channels 8 channels Recorder-side face detection + recognition 2 channels 4 channels Face database capacity 20,000 images 30,000 images Recorder-side video metadata Not listed; metadata by camera 4 channels / 22 attributes AcuPick processing Up to 8 channels, camera + recorder workflow 4 channels by recorder; all 8 by compatible camera 8MP decoding with AI enabled 6 channels at 30 fps 8 channels at 30 fps PoE / ePoE 8 ports; ePoE on all 8 8 ports; ePoE on all 8 HDD bays / capacity 2 SATA; up to 20 TB each in current official sheet 2 SATA; up to 20 TB each Maximum capacities are configuration-dependent. HDD limits depend on temperature and supported drives. The earlier model's current datasheet already lists 20 TB per bay; storage capacity alone is not a reason to upgrade. Installation, storage and compatibility Before ordering: allow one NVR channel per IP camera, check total recording bitrate, confirm the required AI mode, and calculate PoE demand. Eight ports share 130 W; no single port may exceed 25.5 W. ePoE needs a compatible camera and a validated cable/power design—this listing does not promise a fixed extended distance for every installation. Select compatible surveillance HDDs and have them installed following the model-appropriate guide with the unit disconnected from mains power. Keep ventilation clear and choose a dry, secure installation location. Connect cameras to the built-in PoE ports or a suitable network, then connect the separate Gigabit LAN port to your router/network. An external switch does not add recording channels. Connect HDMI or VGA for local setup. Use a compatible display and cable for the chosen resolution; a Full HD monitor will not display an 8K image. Activate the recorder with a unique strong password. Set the time zone, recording schedule and stream bitrates, initialise storage, then test recording and exported footage. Configure the supported analytics for each camera and test day/night events. Set up authorised remote access only after checking the network and account settings. Use firmware approved for this exact S2 hardware and region. Use our CCTV storage calculator to estimate retention from the actual bitrate and schedule. For more than eight cameras, browse Dahua NVR recorders and compare channel count, AI capacity, storage and power—not just the model-series label.

Official AcuPick video Dahua Technology Nordic — AcuPick video search demonstration This manufacturer-channel video explains the general AcuPick workflow. It is not a demonstration of this exact Australian S2 recorder; menus and available functions can differ by model and firmware. Use the S2 specifications above and the current manual below for this product. Recommended add-ons Choose a surveillance HDD for recording capacity, and suitable 8ware Cat6/Cat6A patch leads where needed. Check drive compatibility and temperature limits before selecting high-capacity disks. For power backup and local viewing, compare the Dahua DH-PFM3350 UPS range, Dahua DHI-LM22-H200 Full HD monitor and Belkin surge protector. Size the UPS for the combined recorder, HDD, PoE-camera and display load. The LM22-H200 is a Full HD viewing option, not an 8K display. Follow the UPS manufacturer's rules for connected power boards. Dahua also lists DHI-ARB1606 and PFH101 as optional accessories in the exact-model datasheet. Ask us to confirm the required installation parts and local package before ordering specialised alarm or rack accessories. Frequently asked questions Is this the S2 model or the previous NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ? This listing is for DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ-S2. The S2 has 8K HDMI output, up to 448 Mbps bandwidth with AI disabled, and increased recorder-side analytics compared with the earlier non-S2 model. Check the S2 suffix when matching an existing system or ordering a replacement. Does AcuPick work on all eight channels? Dahua specifies up to 4 channels of AcuPick processed by the recorder, or all 8 channels using camera-side AcuPick. The eight-channel option requires compatible camera-side functionality. Confirm exact camera models and firmware; a WizSense label alone does not establish AcuPick compatibility. Does an 8K HDMI output mean every camera records in 8K? No. Display output, camera resolution and recording capability are separate specifications. This is an eight-channel recorder supporting camera input up to 32MP. The actual recorded resolution is set by the connected camera and stream configuration. Can I add more than eight cameras using a PoE switch? No. An external switch can change how cameras connect, but it does not increase the recorder’s eight IP-channel limit. Choose a higher-channel NVR if you need more than eight cameras. How much PoE power is available? The recorder has a 130 W total PoE budget and a 25.5 W maximum per port. Its eight camera ports support IEEE 802.3af/at and ePoE. A camera requiring more than 25.5 W needs a separately verified power solution; do not assume every Dahua PTZ can be powered directly. Is a hard drive included, and how long will it record? The recorder is supplied without an HDD unless your order explicitly includes a storage add-on. Two SATA bays support up to 20 TB per drive, with the maximum dependent on operating temperature and drive compatibility. Retention depends on camera count, bitrate, frame rate, codec and recording schedule. Will it work with third-party cameras? Dahua lists ONVIF Profiles T, S, G and M, plus CGI and SDK integration. Check the exact camera and firmware for video, audio and event support. Basic video compatibility does not guarantee proprietary AI, AcuPick or alarm integration. Does this model include WizSeek or Xinghan analytics? The exact-model Dahua page and May 2026 S2 datasheet used for this listing specify WizSense, AcuPick and the NVR NEXT interface. They do not establish WizSeek or Xinghan support for this Australian model, so those features are not promised here. Can I use the old non-S2 firmware? Do not assume firmware is interchangeable. Match the full model, hardware revision and Australian region, then use the support resources for that exact unit. Ask CCTV Guru before updating if you are unsure.

DHI-NVR5216-16P-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua Smart Series HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions What is AcuPick and how is it different to Quick Pick? AcuPick is Dahua's next-generation video search technology — it uses BOTH camera-side and NVR-side AI to extract rich attributes (clothing, body shape, vehicle make/model/colour/plate, direction, action) from every frame as it records, then lets you search by a reference image OR by combined attributes. Quick Pick (on the 4-Series) does single-attribute colour/clothing search only. AcuPick is faster, more accurate, and supports both people and vehicles natively. Do I need special cameras for AcuPick? Yes — AcuPick relies on camera-side intelligence to extract attributes during recording. You need Dahua's WizSense-Plus AcuPick-ready cameras (typically the TiOC PV and 5-Series IPC families). Standard WizSense cameras will still record and recognise faces, but the full AcuPick search depth needs paired AcuPick IPCs. What does ePoE on ports 1–8 give me? Extended PoE — long-distance Cat6 runs at reduced speed. Ports 1–8 support 100 Mbps up to 300 m or 10 Mbps up to 800 m (most IP cameras work fine at 10 Mbps for sub-stream + main-stream H.265+). Eliminates intermediate switches on long perimeter or carpark runs. Ports 9–16 run standard PoE+ at up to 100 m. What is N+M cluster and when do I need it? N+M cluster lets you pair multiple 5-Series NVRs so that backup recorders automatically take over if a primary unit fails — zero footage loss for critical sites. Useful for casinos, banks, transport hubs, hospitals and any install where a single-recorder outage would breach SLA. Configure via the NVR's local GUI or DSS-Pro. Will it work with my non-Dahua IP cameras? Yes. The NVR5216-16P-AI/ANZ supports ONVIF Profile T/S/G (version 22.06) and has native integration for Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Axis, Pelco, Arecont and Canon. Standard recording works with any ONVIF camera; AcuPick and the deeper AI search features require Dahua WizSense / AcuPick IPCs. How much storage do I need for 16 cameras?Estimate the hard drive capacity and recording time for this recorder using your connected camera count, camera bitrates and recording schedule. Use our storage calculator for an estimate based on your settings. 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. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

NVR5432 vs the family — where it sits The 5432 is the enterprise headend in our Dahua range — twice the channel count of the 5216, twice the HDD bays, twice the network ports, and the only model with a 36-channel split and a 12 V alarm-output feed. The trade-off is the absence of built-in PoE: cameras must be powered through an external switch. Choose the 5216 instead if you want PoE built into the recorder; choose the 5432 (this model) when you're running more than 16 cameras through an existing managed network. 5-Series Tier Comparison Specification NVR5432-AI/ANZ (this model) NVR5216-16P-AI/ANZ NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ IP channels 32 16 8 AcuPick channels Up to 32 Up to 16 Up to 8 Max camera resolution 32 MP 32 MP 32 MP Bandwidth (AI off / on) 384 / 200 Mbps 384 / 200 Mbps 384 / 200 Mbps Built-in PoE None (external switch) 16 ports · ports 1-8 ePoE 8 ports · all ePoE HDD bays 4 SATA · up to 80 TB 2 SATA · up to 32 TB 2 SATA · up to 32 TB eSATA · iSCSI Yes / Yes No / Yes No / Yes Network ports 2 × Gigabit (bondable) 1 × Gigabit 1 × Gigabit Video outputs 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA 1 × HDMI + 1 × VGA 1 × HDMI + 1 × VGA Main-screen split Up to 36 Up to 16 Up to 9 Alarm I/O 16 in / 6 out (incl. 12 V) 4 in / 2 out 4 in / 2 out USB ports 1 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0 1 × 2.0 + 1 × 3.0 1 × 2.0 + 1 × 3.0 Form factor 1.5U · 4.74 kg 1U · 2.66 kg 1U · 2.57 kg ONVIF 23.12 (T / S / G) 22.06 (T / S / G) 22.06 (T / S / G) N+M cluster Yes Yes Yes Warranty (Australia) 3 years 3 years 3 years Full Specifications Model DHI-NVR5432-AI/ANZ Series WizSense · NVR5000-AI/ANZ (Australia / NZ market) Form factor 1.5U · 4-HDD · rack or desktop · NO built-in PoE IP channels 32 · up to 32 MP per channel Supported resolutions 32 MP · 24 MP · 16 MP · 12 MP · 8 MP · 6 MP · 5 MP · 4 MP · 3 MP · 1080p · 720p · 960p · 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 @ 25 fps · 4 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 8 × 8 MP @ 30 fps · 16 × 4 MP @ 30 fps · 32 × 1080p @ 30 fps Decoding (AI on) 1 × 32 MP @ 25 fps · 2 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 4 × 12 MP @ 30 fps · 6 × 8 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 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 · all channels by camera (16 targets/sec) · 10 IVS rules per channel SMD Plus 8 channels by NVR · all channels by camera (32 targets/sec) Video Metadata 8 channels (camera-side) · human / motor / non-motor vehicle attributes ANPR (by camera) All 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 4 × SATA · up to 20 TB per drive (~80 TB max) 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 · Sub screen: 1 / 4 / 8 / 9 / 16 Audio I/O 1 × RCA in · 2 × RCA out Alarm I/O 16 × alarm in · 6 × alarm out (1 × 12 V 1 A power output) USB 3 ports: 1 × 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 / 1 (RS-485 half-duplex) eSATA 1 port (external archive) Network protocols HTTP / HTTPS · TCP/IP · IPv4 · UDP · NTP · DHCP · DNS · SMTP · UPnP · DDNS · Alarm Server · Multicast · P2P · Auto Registration · iSCSI ONVIF 23.12 (Profile T / S / G) · CGI · SDK Third-party camera support ONVIF · Panasonic · Sony · Axis · Arecont · Pelco · Canon · 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 (non-condensing) Dimensions 440 × 415.1 × 70 mm (1.5U) Net weight 4.74 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) CCTV Storage Calculator Estimate the hard drive capacity and recording time for this recorder using your connected camera count, camera bitrates and recording schedule.

DHI-NVR5432-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua NVR HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions Why doesn't the NVR5432 have built-in PoE? The 5432 is a headend NVR designed for sites that already run a managed network. Cameras connect through an external PoE switch (Dahua's own PoE switches, or any IEEE 802.3af/at managed switch). This gives you VLAN segregation, redundant network paths and far better scaling than fixed 16-port PoE NVRs. If you'd prefer all-in-one with PoE built into the recorder, choose the 5216-16P-AI/ANZ instead. How big a PoE switch do I need for 32 cameras? Allow about 7-15 W per camera for most Dahua WizSense bullets/turrets, more for active-deterrence units and PTZs. A 24-port PoE+ switch with 370–500 W of budget will run 32 typical cameras comfortably; a 48-port managed PoE+ switch is more headroom and gives spare ports for VoIP, APs and APs. CCTV Guru can quote a complete switch + NVR bundle. What is AcuPick and what do I need for it? AcuPick is Dahua's next-generation attribute-and-image search — it extracts rich target attributes (clothing, body shape, vehicle make/model/colour/plate, direction) at the camera AND the NVR, then lets you search across all 32 channels by reference image or combined attributes. You need Dahua's AcuPick-ready cameras (typically TiOC PV and 5-Series WizSense Plus IPC families). Standard WizSense cameras still record and recognise faces but the full AcuPick depth requires paired AcuPick IPCs. What's the dual NIC for? Two independent Gigabit RJ-45 ports — use them for VLAN segregation (camera VLAN on NIC1, management/uplink VLAN on NIC2), or bond them for active-passive failover (NIC2 takes over if NIC1's switch port dies), or load-balance for combined throughput. Configured from the local GUI or web interface. How much storage do I need for 32 cameras?Estimate the hard drive capacity and recording time for this recorder using your connected camera count, camera bitrates and recording schedule. Use our storage calculator for an estimate based on your settings. Can it be rack-mounted? Yes — 1.5U / 440 mm wide fits a standard 19-inch rack with ears (rack ears sold separately). It can also sit on a desk or shelf if you've allocated cabinet space. At 4.74 kg empty (without HDDs), plan for around 7-8 kg fully loaded with four drives. What's the 12 V alarm output for? One of the 6 alarm outputs is a direct 12 V 1 A power feed — drive a siren, strobe light or electric strike directly without needing an external relay or power supply. The other 5 outputs are dry-contact relays you can wire to anything that takes a NO/NC trigger. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

DHI-NVR608H-128-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR608 Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR608 User Manual Dahua NVR HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions What's the real difference between the 608H-128 and the 608H-32? Same hardware platform — same 2U chassis with 8 HDD bays, same WizMind AI processor, same dual 2.5 GbE NICs, same 4 × HDMI outputs (including the 8K port). The differences are the IP channel licence (128 vs 32) and the AcuPick capacity (64 channels vs 32). At 128 channels, the recording bandwidth (1280 Mbps) is shared across four times as many cameras, so plan camera resolutions accordingly — 4 MP H.265+ is the sweet spot. Does the WizMind series get a longer warranty? Yes — WizMind 6-Series enterprise NVRs ship with a 5-year warranty in Australia, two years longer than the 3-year warranty on Dahua's WizSense (4-Series and 5-Series) products. The longer cover reflects the project-grade build and is part of why WizMind units carry a premium over WizSense. Why does AcuPick only run on 64 channels when the NVR supports 128? AcuPick is heavy on AI-chip resources — running attribute extraction and image-search against 128 channels simultaneously isn't possible on the current 6-Series silicon. You choose which 64 of the 128 channels run AcuPick (the rest still record, and still get ANPR / SMD Plus / perimeter via camera-side AI on Dahua WizSense or WizMind IPCs). Why doesn't it have built-in PoE? The 6-Series is purpose-built for enterprise headend deployments. 128 cameras through built-in PoE ports would mean a 4U+ chassis with extreme power draw. At this scale, sites always have a managed switching layer — pair this NVR with a stack of 24 or 48-port managed PoE+ switches across two or more network closets. How big a PoE switch stack do I need for 128 cameras? Allow about 7–15 W per camera for Dahua WizSense bullets/turrets, more for active-deterrence and PTZ cameras.
