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

The XVR triggers alerts only when a human or vehicle crosses the boundary — not every time a leaf blows past. Face Detection & Recognition (2 Channels) Detect and log faces on up to 2 channels. Search recorded footage by face attributes in seconds — no more scrubbing through hours of video to find a specific person. Expandable to 16 IP Channels The 8 BNC ports handle analogue cameras, but the XVR can simultaneously manage up to 16 IP camera channels at up to 8MP each — giving you a clear upgrade path without replacing the recorder. H.265+ Compression H.265+ dual-stream compression reduces storage consumption by up to 75% versus H.264 — meaning your HDD lasts longer and your bandwidth stays manageable. Remote Access via DMSS & SmartPSS Monitor live and recorded footage from anywhere via the DMSS mobile app (iOS & Android) or SmartPSS desktop client. P2P connection — no static IP or port forwarding required. Recommended For Analogue Camera Upgrades Already have coaxial cable runs? Keep them. The Penta-brid XVR connects your existing analogue cameras while letting you add IP cameras on the same recorder — a cost-effective upgrade path. Small Retail & Convenience Stores 8 channels covers entry, POS counter, stockroom, and car park. SMD Plus filters out false alarms from foot traffic — only genuine intrusion events trigger notifications. Warehouses & Industrial Sites Perimeter Protection on 2 channels secures loading docks and yard boundaries. Face detection logs who enters the office or server room. Small Offices & Commercial Premises Compact 1U chassis fits in a server rack or comms cabinet. Remote access via DMSS keeps management informed without on-site visits. Residential Homes 8 channels covers every entry point, garage, and outdoor area. H.265+ compression maximises HDD retention time. DMSS app provides instant mobile alerts. Schools & Childcare Centres AI-powered SMD Plus reduces nuisance alerts in busy environments. Face detection supports access logging at entry points. Add a Surveillance HDD HDD Not Included — Choose Your Capacity The DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3-S3 has 1 × 3.5" SATA HDD bay. We recommend a WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk surveillance-grade drive — purpose-built for 24/7 DVR workloads. Contact our team for a retention calculation based on your camera count, resolution, and recording schedule. Estimated Retention (8 × 5MP @ 15 fps) 2TB ≈ 7–10 days · 4TB ≈ 14–20 days · 8TB ≈ 28–40 days of continuous recording. H.265+ compression significantly extends these estimates versus standard H.264 recorders.
