DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AIANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions How many cameras can the built-in PoE actually power? All 8 ports deliver PoE+ up to 25.5 W each, but the total budget across the recorder is 72 W. In practice that's enough for 8 standard bullets/turrets at 5-9 W each, or about 2-3 high-power PTZ/IR-heavy cameras at 25 W each plus a few standard cams. Plan for ~9 W average per channel. 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 NVR4108HS-8P-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's the difference vs the 16-channel NVR4216-16P? The 4216-16P has 16 IP channels, 16 PoE ports (130 W budget), 2 SATA bays (~32 TB), 4 alarm-in / 2 alarm-out terminals, RS-232 and an internal universal-voltage PSU. The 4108HS-8P (this model) is the compact 8-channel sibling — 8 PoE @ 72 W, single HDD bay, no alarm I/O, external 53 VDC adaptor. Same AI feature set on both. 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 8 cameras at 4 MP H.265+ on motion-record, a 4-6 TB drive gives roughly 30 days; an 8 TB drive gives 45-60 days. Is the DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-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. Does it have alarm input / output terminals? No — this compact chassis omits physical alarm I/O and RS-232 to keep the footprint small. If you need to wire in PIRs, sirens or gate triggers via hardware terminals, step up to the 16-channel DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ (4 alarm-in / 2 alarm-out) or use camera-side alarm linkage instead. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AIANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua HDD Installation Guide 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. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

DHI-NVR4216-16P-AIANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions How many cameras can the built-in PoE actually power? All 16 ports deliver PoE+ up to 25.5 W each, but the total budget across the recorder is 130 W. In practice that's enough for ~16 standard bullets/turrets at 5-7 W each, or roughly 5 high-power PTZ/IR-heavy cameras at 25 W each. Mix accordingly, or daisy-chain a PoE injector if you need more headroom. 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 the NVR5208-8P-4KS3 family. Will it work with my non-Dahua IP cameras? Yes. The NVR4216-16P-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 recording works with any ONVIF camera. What's the difference between the AI/ANZ and the EI version? The AI/ANZ is the Australia / NZ-market SKU — same hardware as the global EI model, but with regional firmware, AS/NZS-compliant power supply, and a 3-year warranty backed locally in Australia. The EI is the European-region equivalent. Functionally identical; commercially region-specific. How much storage do I need for 16 cameras? A common starting point is 16 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record — roughly 10-12 TB will give you about 30 days. Fit two 8 TB or 10 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) and you're set; the NVR supports up to 16 TB per bay (~32 TB total). Is the DHI-NVR4216-16P-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. Does it rack-mount? Yes — the 1U chassis (375 × 329 × 53 mm) fits a standard 19-inch rack with ears (sold separately), or sits flat on a shelf. At just 2.6 kg without HDDs, it's also fine on a sturdy desk under a monitor. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

DHI-NVR5216-16P-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua 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. Is the DHI-NVR5216-16P-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. 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? For 16 × 8 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, allow ~20-25 TB for 30 days of retention. Two 16 TB drives in disk-group config will hit roughly 45-60 days. If on-board capacity isn't enough, the NVR supports iSCSI for network-attached storage expansion. 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

DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ Datasheet DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ Dimension Drawing Dahua NVR 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 AcuPick-ready cameras (typically the TiOC PV and 5-Series WizSense Plus IPC families). Standard WizSense cameras still record and recognise faces, but the full AcuPick search depth needs paired AcuPick IPCs. What does ePoE on all 8 ports give me? Extended PoE on every port — long-distance Cat6 runs at reduced speed. Each port supports 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, carpark or warehouse runs. A real advantage over the 4-Series, which doesn't have ePoE on any port. Should I get the 5208 or the 16-channel 5216? If you need more than 8 cameras now or expect to scale within the warranty period, choose the 5216-16P — it's the same hardware platform but doubles the PoE port count and AcuPick channels. If 8 channels covers your site and you'd rather save the budget for better cameras or longer storage, the 5208 (this model) is the sweet spot — same chassis, same AI features, same warranty. Should I get the 5208 or the cheaper 4208-8P? Same 8 channels, same alarm I/O and 2-HDD chassis — but the 5208 (this model) adds AcuPick, 32 MP support, 384 Mbps bandwidth, ePoE on all 8 ports, RS-485 serial, USB 3.0, video metadata search, N+M cluster failover and iSCSI. Choose the 5208 if AcuPick or 32 MP cameras are on the roadmap; choose the 4208 if you're certain you'll stay on 16 MP or lower and don't need ePoE. Is the DHI-NVR5208-8P-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. Will it work with my non-Dahua IP cameras? Yes. The NVR5208-8P-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 8 cameras? For 8 × 8 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, allow ~10-12 TB for 30 days of retention. A pair of 8 TB or 10 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) covers most use cases. If on-board capacity isn't enough, iSCSI lets you expand onto network-attached storage. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

DHI-NVR4208-8P-AIANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions What's the difference vs the compact NVR4108HS-8P? The 4108HS is a smaller, lighter chassis with 1 HDD bay, no physical alarm terminals, and an external 53 VDC power adaptor. The 4208-8P (this model) uses the same full-size chassis as the 16-channel 4216 — 2 HDD bays for double the storage, 4 alarm-in / 2 alarm-out terminals on the rear panel, and an internal 100-240 VAC PSU with a standard kettle cord. Same 8 channels, same WizSense AI, same 72 W PoE budget. How many cameras can the built-in PoE actually power? All 8 ports deliver PoE+ up to 25.5 W each, but the total budget across the recorder is 72 W. In practice that's enough for 8 standard bullets/turrets at 5-9 W each, or roughly 2-3 high-power PTZ/IR-heavy cameras at 25 W each plus a few standard cams. Plan for ~9 W average per channel. 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 NVR4208-8P-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 drives should I install? Use surveillance-rated SATA HDDs up to 16 TB each — Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk. Two drives can be configured as one large pool or kept as separate disk groups for camera-segregated recording. For 8 cameras at 4 MP H.265+, a pair of 6-8 TB drives gives ~60-90 days of retention. Is the DHI-NVR4208-8P-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. What can I wire into the alarm terminals? The 4 alarm inputs accept dry-contact NO/NC devices — PIR motion sensors, door reed switches, glass-break detectors, panic buttons or external trigger relays. The 2 alarm outputs are dry-contact relays that can drive sirens, strobe lights, electric gate triggers or a second relay stage. Linkable to record / snapshot / push-notification events in the NVR menu. 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) Downloads & documentation Download official Dahua documents for setup, specifications, and recorder details. 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? For 32 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, allow ~25-35 TB for 30 days of retention. Four 8 TB or 10 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) covers most use cases with disk-group protection. If on-board capacity isn't enough, iSCSI lets you expand onto network-attached storage or eSATA onto external archive arrays. Is the DHI-NVR5432-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 — 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-NVR5432-16P-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua NVR HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions How does this differ from the no-PoE NVR5432-AI/ANZ? The 5432-16P (this model) has 16 built-in PoE+ ports — your first 16 cameras plug straight into the back of the recorder, no PoE switch required. The plain 5432-AI/ANZ has no built-in PoE and is for sites that already run a managed PoE switch. Same chassis, same AI, same 4 HDD bays — just the PoE difference. 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. How do I connect cameras 17–32? Via your existing managed switch or VLAN. The licence supports up to 32 IP cameras on the NVR; you decide which 16 plug into the built-in PoE and which come in over the network. The Gigabit uplink and second NIC give you plenty of headroom to bring in another 16 channels of camera traffic. 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 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. How much storage do I need for 32 cameras? For 32 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, allow ~25–35 TB for 30 days of retention. Four 8 TB or 10 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) covers most use cases with disk-group protection. If on-board capacity isn't enough, iSCSI lets you expand onto network-attached storage or eSATA onto external archive arrays. Is the DHI-NVR5432-16P-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 — 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. Plan for about 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

WizMind · 6-Series Flagship · 128-Channel · 8-HDD · 2U The Dahua DHI-NVR608H-128-AI/ANZ is the 128-channel enterprise flagship of Dahua's WizMind range — an Ultra-series AI NVR engineered for the largest single-recorder deployments. AcuPick now runs across up to 64 channels simultaneously (double the smaller 608H-32), the AI by Recorder workload includes 8-channel face detection with a 40-database, 300,000-image face library, and total recording bandwidth scales to 1280 Mbps incoming / 1024 Mbps outgoing. Eight SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and drawer-style hot-swap deliver up to 128 TB on-board; iSCSI and eSATA take you well beyond that. This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix). It's a headend NVR with no built-in PoE — cameras connect via your managed network and PoE switch stack. Internal 100–240 VAC universal PSU, AS/NZS-compliant kettle cord, and a local 5-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. Built for shopping centres, transport hubs, hospitals, universities, casinos, large carparks and any single-site deployment that needs the maximum 128-camera ceiling on one recorder. WizMind 6-Series — enterprise-grade deep-learning at 128-camera scale AI Tier WizMind — Dahua's flagship AI Face Database 40 DBs · 300,000 images · 48 GB AcuPick on up to 64 channels Twice the AcuPick capacity of the smaller 608H-32. Click any person or vehicle in recorded video, and the NVR scans the active 64 channels for matches across hours, days or weeks — clothing colour, body shape, vehicle make / model / colour / direction included. Face Recognition at scale 8 NVR-side face detection channels feeding face recognition against a 40-database, 300,000-image library. Or 20 channels of camera-side detection + NVR-side recognition at 20 face snapshots/sec — large enough for staff registers, watchlists and visitor logs combined. Perimeter Protection (32 ch by NVR) 32 NVR-side channels of tripwire and intrusion analytics (10 IVS rules each) — 8× the 5-Series capacity. Plus all-channel perimeter via camera-side processing — every camera benefits from human/vehicle classification. SMD Plus on 32 channels by NVR The AI chip's full SMD Plus capacity — 32 NVR-side channels of deep-learning second-pass classification, classifying targets as person or vehicle so only real events make it to your phone or VMS. Video Metadata by NVR (8 channels) NVR-side metadata extraction — top colour, bottom colour, hat, bag, umbrella, gender, age, vehicle make / model / colour / plate, helmet wear. Works regardless of camera brand (camera-side metadata requires Dahua WizSense or WizMind IPCs). ANPR by camera (32 channels) Pair with Dahua ANPR cameras for 32 channels of licence-plate recognition feeding a 20,000-plate database with blocklist / allowlist control. Carpark, fleet yard, toll-point and multi-site ANPR. 1280 Mbps recording · 8K HDMI · ~128 TB RAID storage Bandwidth 1280 Mbps in / record · 1024 out Storage 8 SATA · RAID 0/1/5/6/10 · hot-swap 1280 Mbps recording bandwidth Higher than any other 5-Series or smaller 6-Series sibling. Spread across 128 cameras, plan for ~10 Mbps per camera average — perfect for 4 MP H.265+ on motion-record. For higher-bitrate workloads, prioritise the high-traffic channels and reserve the rest for lower-resolution sub-streams. 32-channel 1080p decoding The decoder handles 32 cameras at 1080p simultaneously for the live wall, or 2 × 32 MP @ 30 fps for the highest-res cameras. Reserve high-resolution decoding for the channels you actually display. 4× HDMI + 2× VGA outputs Drive up to six independent displays. HDMI3 supports 8K display; HDMI1 / HDMI2 deliver 4K each. Heterogeneous mode lets each HDMI run an independent layout — ideal for control rooms with multi-monitor walls. 8 SATA bays · drawer hot-swap Eight surveillance-grade HDDs (WD Purple Pro, Seagate SkyHawk AI) up to 16 TB each in a drawer-style chassis — swap drives during operation without taking the recorder down. Total ~128 TB on-board. Hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10 Survive single-drive (RAID 5) or dual-drive (RAID 6) failures with zero footage loss. RAID 10 for performance + redundancy. Rebuilds run in the background while recording continues. eSATA + iSCSI + ESS1504C expansion External SATA archive port, iSCSI network storage, plus optional Dahua ESS1504C 4-HDD eSATA storage tray — essential for the long-retention workloads that 128-camera sites typically require.

Bondable for multi-address, load-balance and fault-tolerance modes (critical at 128-camera scale). 16 alarm-in / 8 alarm-out Physical terminal block for 16 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs — wire in PIRs, door sensors, glass-break detectors, panic buttons, sirens or gate triggers for hardware-level event linkage. 4 × USB (2 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0) Two front USB 2.0 plus two rear USB 3.0 ports — plug in backup drives, USB mice, keyboards or service tools without juggling cables behind the rack. RS-232 + RS-485 One RS-232 plus one RS-485 (A/B) — integrate with POS systems, gate controllers, access control panels, PTZ joysticks or third-party VMS that need legacy serial. N+M cluster failover Pair multiple 6-Series NVRs in an N+M cluster — backup recorders automatically take over if a primary fails, ensuring zero footage loss. Particularly important at 128-camera scale where a single-recorder outage would breach SLA. ONVIF (T / S / G) + DSS Pro Full ONVIF profile support plus Dahua's DSS Pro VMS for multi-site centralised control. Native integration with Sony, Axis, Pelco, Arecont, Canon, Samsung and any ONVIF-compliant camera. NVR608H-128 vs the family — how it compares The 608H-128 (this model) is the maximum channel-count single recorder in Dahua's AU/NZ NVR range — four times the channels of the 608H-32 sibling with twice the AcuPick capacity and 25% higher recording bandwidth. Choose this when you need every camera on one recorder. For sites running 32 cameras or fewer with the same WizMind feature depth, step down to the 608H-32.

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. Three 48-port PoE+ switches with ~370–500 W each will run 128 typical cameras comfortably, with spare ports for VoIP and APs. CCTV Guru can quote a complete switch + NVR + camera bundle. How much storage do I need for 128 cameras at 30 days retention? For 128 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, expect ~80–110 TB for 30 days. Eight 16 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple Pro, Seagate SkyHawk AI) in RAID 5 gives ~112 TB usable — exactly the right size with single-disk redundancy. For longer retention or higher resolution, add the ESS1504C eSATA expansion tray or use iSCSI to a NAS. Is the DHI-NVR608H-128-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 / 444 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. The drawer-style HDD bays support hot-swapping, so you can replace failed drives without unmounting the chassis from the rack. 5-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

For multi-site enterprise deployments, integrate with Dahua DSS Pro for centralised control of multiple 5864 NVRs across sites. 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

NVR5464 vs the family — how it compares The 5464 (this model) sits at the top of the 5-Series AI/ANZ NVR range — twice the IP channel count of the 5432, with the same chassis, AI horsepower and storage capacity. Choose this when you have between 32 and 64 cameras connected via a structured PoE switch network. For 16–32 cameras on the same chassis, step down to the 5432; if you want built-in PoE for the first 16 cameras, choose the 5432-16P. 5-Series Top-Tier Comparison Specification NVR5464-AI/ANZ (this model) NVR5432-AI/ANZ NVR5432-16P-AI/ANZ IP channels (licence) 64 32 32 AcuPick channels Up to 32 Up to 32 Up to 32 Main-screen split Up to 64 Up to 36 Up to 36 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) None (external switch) 16 × ports · 150 W · 1-8 ePoE HDD bays 4 SATA · up to 64 TB 4 SATA · up to 64 TB 4 SATA · up to 64 TB eSATA · iSCSI Yes / Yes Yes / Yes Yes / Yes Network ports 2 × Gigabit (bondable) 2 × Gigabit (bondable) 2 × Gigabit (bondable) Video outputs 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA 2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA Alarm I/O 16 in / 6 out (incl. 12 V) 16 in / 6 out (incl. 12 V) 16 in / 6 out (incl. 12 V) USB ports 1 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0 1 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0 1 × 2.0 + 2 × 3.0 Form factor 1.5U 1.5U 1.5U ONVIF (V5 firmware) 23.12 (T / S / G) 23.12 (T / S / G) 23.12 (T / S / G) N+M cluster · Warranty Yes / 3 years Yes / 3 years Yes / 3 years Full Specifications Model DHI-NVR5464-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 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 · all channels by camera · 10 IVS rules per channel SMD Plus 8 channels by NVR · all channels by camera 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 16 TB per drive (~64 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 / 64 · 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/IPv6 · UDP · NTP · DHCP · DNS · SMTP · UPnP · DDNS · Alarm Server · Multicast · P2P · Auto Registration · iSCSI 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 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) Downloads & documentation Download official Dahua documents for setup, specifications, and recorder details.

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). For 64-channel AcuPick, look at Dahua's NVR6 series. Why doesn't it have built-in PoE? The 5464 is a headend NVR for sites with managed PoE switches. Sixty-four cameras through fixed PoE ports would mean a 3–4U chassis and a power supply that doesn't fit the 1.5U form factor. 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. 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 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. How big a PoE switch do I need for 64 cameras? Allow about 7–15 W per camera for Dahua WizSense bullets/turrets, more for active-deterrence units and PTZs. Two 48-port PoE+ switches with ~370–500 W each will run 64 typical cameras comfortably, with spare ports for VoIP and APs. CCTV Guru can quote a complete switch + NVR bundle. How much storage do I need for 64 cameras? For 64 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, allow ~50–70 TB for 30 days of retention. Four 16 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple Pro, Seagate SkyHawk AI) gives you ~64 TB on-board with disk-group protection. If on-board capacity isn't enough, iSCSI lets you expand onto network-attached storage or eSATA onto external archive arrays. Is the DHI-NVR5464-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 — 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. Plan for about 7–8 kg fully loaded with four drives. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

WizSense + AcuPick · 5-Series · 16-Channel · 16-PoE · 4-HDD · 1.5U The Dahua DHI-NVR5416-16P-AI/ANZ is a 16-channel 5-Series WizSense AI NVR with AcuPick, 16 built-in PoE+ ports (ports 1–8 ePoE up to 800 m), and a 1.5U chassis with four SATA bays — the perfect middle-ground between the compact 2-HDD 5216-16P and the storage-heavy 8-HDD 5832-16P. Record up to 32 MP per channel, plug 16 cameras straight into the back of the recorder, and scale storage to roughly 64 TB on-board across four 16 TB drives. This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix). It's the all-in-one 16-channel option with double the storage of the 5216-16P — same PoE budget, same chassis depth, but room for two extra HDDs and longer retention. Internal 100–240 VAC universal PSU, AS/NZS-compliant kettle cord, and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. AcuPick, N+M cluster, iSCSI and ONVIF 23.12 are enabled by Dahua's V5 firmware (current factory ship as of 2025). 16 PoE+ ports + 4-HDD storage — built for upgrades PoE Ports 16 × · 130 W · 1–8 ePoE 800 m Storage 4 SATA · up to 64 TB on-board 16 cameras plug straight in Each Cat6 run carries power and video back to the NVR — no power adaptors at every camera, no separate PoE switch. Full 16-channel PoE coverage with a 130 W total budget — comfortable for typical Dahua WizSense bullets and turrets at 7–9 W each. ePoE on ports 1–8 (800 m) Extended PoE on the first 8 ports — 100 Mbps up to 300 m, or 10 Mbps up to 800 m on Cat6. Eliminates intermediate switches and fibre runs on long perimeter or carpark cable runs. 4 SATA bays · 64 TB max Twice the storage of the smaller 5216-16P. Four surveillance-grade HDDs (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) up to 16 TB each — roughly 90–120 days of 16-channel motion-record at 4 MP H.265+. Powers PoE+ cameras 25.5 W per port (PoE+ / 802.3at) — handles IR-heavy bullets, mini PTZs, multi-sensor cameras and active-deterrence units that exceed the basic 15 W PoE ceiling.

DHI-NVR5416-16P-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 over the smaller NVR5216-16P? Same 16 channels and same 16 PoE+ ports — but the 5416-16P (this model) doubles the HDD bays from 2 to 4, doubles your on-board storage ceiling (~64 TB vs ~32 TB), upgrades video output from single HDMI/VGA to dual HDMI/VGA, and adds 16 alarm inputs / 6 alarm outputs (vs 4 / 2) plus eSATA. Choose this when you want longer retention or hardware alarm integration on your 16-channel build. 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. 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 and ships from CCTV Guru with V5 installed. How much storage do I need for 16 cameras? For 16 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, expect ~12–18 TB for 30 days of retention. Four 6–8 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk) gives you ~24–32 TB on-board — roughly 60–90 days. For longer retention or higher resolution, fit 16 TB drives (the maximum supported) for up to 64 TB total. How does the 16 PoE budget cover 16 cameras? 130 W total ÷ 16 cameras = ~8 W average per camera. That's comfortable for most Dahua WizSense bullets and turrets (5–9 W each). If you're running PTZ, IR-heavy bullets or active-deterrence units (15–25 W each), plan to mix in some lower-draw cameras or use an external PoE injector for the high-power ones. Is the DHI-NVR5416-16P-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 — 1.5U / 440 mm wide fits a standard 19-inch rack with ears (rack ears sold separately). At 4.82 kg empty (without HDDs), plan for ~8–10 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

NVR5832-16P vs the family — how it compares The 5832-16P (this model) is the all-in-one 32-channel option in the 5-Series — same 2U chassis and RAID-capable storage as the 64-channel 5864, but with 16 built-in PoE+ ports and a 32-channel licence. Choose this when you want enterprise-grade storage AND built-in PoE on a single chassis. For more channels at the cost of built-in PoE, step up to the 5864. For the same 32 channels in a smaller 1.5U chassis with 4 HDDs, step down to the 5432-16P. 5-Series 8-HDD / 16-PoE Comparison Specification NVR5832-16P-AI/ANZ (this model) NVR5864-AI/ANZ

DHI-NVR5832-16P-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 this over the smaller 5432-16P? Same 32 channels and same 16 PoE+ port count, but the 5832-16P (this model) doubles the HDD bays (8 vs 4) and adds hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10. That means roughly twice the storage (~128 TB vs ~64 TB) AND protection against drive failures. Choose this when retention, redundancy or compliance-grade storage matters. The 5432-16P is the cheaper option when 4 drives without RAID are enough. Should I run RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10? RAID 5 (single-disk redundancy) gives ~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. Why does AcuPick only run on 16 channels when the NVR supports 32? AcuPick is heavy on AI-chip resources — running attribute extraction and image-search against 32 channels simultaneously isn't possible on the current 5-Series silicon. You choose which 16 of the 32 channels run AcuPick (the rest still record, and still get ANPR / SMD Plus / perimeter via camera-side AI). How does the 16 PoE work with the 32-channel licence? The first 16 cameras plug straight into the back of the recorder, drawing power from the built-in 150 W PoE budget. The remaining 16 channels come in via the single gigabit network uplink to your managed switch — they need their own PoE source (a managed PoE switch is the cleanest option). The licence covers all 32; the chassis powers half. Is the DHI-NVR5832-16P-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. How much storage do I need for 32 cameras at 90 days retention? For 32 × 4 MP cameras at H.265+ on motion-record, expect ~50–60 TB for 90 days. Eight 8 TB or 10 TB surveillance-grade drives (WD Purple Pro, Seagate SkyHawk AI) in RAID 5 gives ~56–70 TB usable — exactly the right size with single-disk redundancy. Can it be rack-mounted? Yes — 2U / 440 mm wide fits a standard 19-inch rack with ears (rack ears sold separately). At 6.9 kg empty (without HDDs), plan for ~13–15 kg fully loaded with eight drives. 3-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support

Native integration with Sony, Axis, Pelco, Arecont, Canon, Samsung and any ONVIF-compliant camera. NVR608H-32 vs the family — how it compares The 6-Series WizMind is a different tier from the 5-Series WizSense — enterprise-grade silicon, much larger face database, NVR-side metadata, 8K HDMI output, 2.5 GbE NICs and dramatically more bandwidth. Choose this when the 5-Series ceiling isn't enough. For sites running fewer than 32 cameras, the 5-Series WizSense range (5208 through 5864) gives you AcuPick at a lower cost-per-channel.

DHI-NVR608H-32-AI/ANZ Datasheet Dahua NVR Quick Start Guide Dahua NVR User Manual Dahua NVR HDD Installation Guide Frequently asked questions What's the difference between WizMind and WizSense? WizMind is Dahua's top-tier AI line — it uses an industrial-grade processor with built-in deep-learning modules and is aimed at enterprise, government, banking, healthcare and large-site deployments. WizSense is the SMB/commercial tier with a dedicated AI chip — capable but with smaller face databases, fewer NVR-side AI channels and lower bandwidth. The 6-Series WizMind has ~15× the face database capacity, 6× the NVR-side perimeter channels, 4× the SMD Plus channels, and 2.7× the bandwidth of the 5-Series WizSense flagship. Why doesn't it have built-in PoE? The 6-Series is purpose-built for enterprise headend deployments where cameras come in through a managed PoE switch (or stack of switches). The chassis priorities are storage capacity (8 HDDs with RAID and hot-swap), AI horsepower, video output count (4× HDMI) and uplink speed (2× 2.5 GbE) — not direct PoE delivery. Pair this NVR with a 24 or 48-port managed PoE+ switch. What does the 2.5 GbE network port mean for me? Each Ethernet port runs at 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps — 2.5× faster than the gigabit NICs on the 5-Series. Useful when the NVR is doing both heavy AI processing AND streaming to multiple clients, or when you want one cable between NVR and switch instead of bonded gigabit links. Most modern managed switches now support 2.5 GbE uplinks. What's the practical advantage of NVR-side video metadata? On the 5-Series WizSense range, metadata extraction happens at the camera — if you pair a non-Dahua camera, metadata search is disabled. The 6-Series WizMind runs metadata extraction at the recorder on 8 channels, so search-by-attribute (top colour, age, vehicle plate, etc.) works regardless of which camera generated the feed. Important when you've inherited a mixed-brand camera estate. Does the 8K HDMI mean I can run an 8K monitor? Yes — HDMI3 supports 8K (7680 × 4320) output for one display. HDMI1 and HDMI2 each support 4K (3840 × 2160). HDMI4 and the two VGAs are 1080p. Configure heterogeneous mode for independent layouts across all six display heads, or simultaneous mode to mirror outputs across paired HDMI+VGA. Should I run RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10? RAID 5 (single-disk redundancy) gives ~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 compliance-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. Is the DHI-NVR608H-32-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. 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. Backed locally by CCTV Guru in Sydney with replacement stock on hand. Can it be rack-mounted? Yes — 2U / 444 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. The drawer-style HDD bays support hot-swapping, so you can replace failed drives without unmounting the chassis from the rack. 5-Year Warranty Australia-Wide Shipping Australian Tech Support
