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

Hikvision M Series · 8K · AcuSense Ready Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8 Channel 8 PoE 8K NVR The Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P is an 8-channel plug-and-play 8K Network Video Recorder built for Australian homes, retail sites, warehouses and multi-site commercial installs. With 8 built-in PoE ports, up to 32 MP per channel, 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth and true 8K HDMI output, this M Series NVR is engineered to record, decode and display the latest generation of Hikvision IP cameras — including AcuSense, ColorVu, TandemVu and PanoVu models — with zero compromise on image quality. Two SATA bays accept up to 16 TB drives each (32 TB total), giving you weeks of high-resolution continuous recording or months of motion-triggered footage. Smart features inherited from Hikvision's AcuSense ecosystem — including human and vehicle classification, false alarm filtering, line-crossing and intrusion detection — drastically reduce nuisance alerts and make playback searches genuinely fast. Channels 8 CH · Up to 32 MP PoE Ports 8 × PoE (af/at) Display True 8K HDMI Output Storage 2 × SATA · Up to 32 TB Why Australian installers choose the DS-7608NI-M2/8P The M2/8P sits at the sweet spot for small-to-medium IP camera deployments: enough PoE ports for a complete 8-camera build, enough bandwidth for the latest 4K and 4K+ ColorVu cameras, and enough decoding muscle to display 2 × 32 MP streams simultaneously on a single 8K monitor. It's a future-proof recorder you won't outgrow on the next camera upgrade. True 32 MP Input Support Record every channel at up to 32 MP — the highest resolution tier supported in any consumer-grade NVR — so you can deploy Hikvision PanoVu, fisheye and 4K+ AcuSense cameras without throttling. AcuSense Smart Detection When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification to filter out leaves, animals and shadows — slashing false alarms and making playback searches almost instant. 8 PoE Ports Built-In Power and data over a single Cat6 run to each camera, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with auto-detection — plug your cameras in and they appear automatically. Dual-SATA, 32 TB Capacity Two internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, giving you long-duration 24/7 recording even at full 4K bitrates. 8K HDMI Display Output Drive an 8K (7680 × 4320) monitor at 30 Hz, or a 4K display at 60 Hz, plus a secondary VGA output for a second workstation view in your control room. H.265+ Smart Compression Hikvision's H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 75% compared to H.264 — that means more days of footage on the same drive, or the same retention on a smaller drive. Watch the M Series NVR in action AcuSense NVR + Standard Camera — Smart False-Alarm Filtering Hikvision AcuSense — Installation & Operation Guide Engineered for Australian conditions Every M Series NVR sold by CCTV Guru ships from our Australian warehouse with local stock, local firmware, and full Australian Hikvision warranty.

The differences sit in storage, hardware alarm I/O, power supply and chassis size — choose the 4108HS for a compact desktop install, or the 4208 (this model) when you need redundant storage and wired alarm integration. 8-Channel Sibling Comparison Specification NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ NVR4208-8P-AI/ANZ (this model) IP channels 8 · up to 16 MP 8 · up to 16 MP WizSense AI features Identical Identical Face Recognition / Face DB 1-ch + 10 DB / 20,000 images 1-ch + 10 DB / 20,000 images Perimeter Protection 2 channels · 10 IVS rules each 2 channels · 10 IVS rules each SMD Plus 4 channels 4 channels ANPR (by camera) 4 channels · 20,000-plate DB 4 channels · 20,000-plate DB Bandwidth (AI on / off) 180 / 256 Mbps 180 / 256 Mbps PoE ports 8 · 72 W total · 25.5 W per port 8 · 72 W total · 25.5 W per port HDD bays 1 SATA · up to 16 TB 2 SATA · up to 32 TB Alarm I/O None 4 in / 2 out (physical terminals) Power supply External 53 VDC adaptor Internal 100–240 VAC PSU Chassis Compact 1U · 260 × 232.7 × 47.6 mm · 0.92 kg Full 1U · 375 × 329.3 × 53 mm · 2.51 kg Rack-mount ready Desktop primary Rack or desktop 4K HDMI · ONVIF · DMSS Yes / 21.12 / Yes Yes / 21.12 / Yes Warranty (Australia) 3 years 3 years Full Specifications Model DHI-NVR4208-8P-AI/ANZ Series WizSense · NVR4000-AI/ANZ (Australia / NZ market) Form factor Full 1U · 2-HDD · rack or desktop IP channels 8 · up to 16 MP per channel Supported resolutions 16 MP · 12 MP · 8 MP · 6 MP · 5 MP · 4 MP · 3 MP · 1080p · 960p · 720p · D1 · CIF Bandwidth (AI off) 256 Mbps incoming / 256 Mbps record / 256 Mbps outgoing Bandwidth (AI on) 180 Mbps incoming / 180 Mbps record / 180 Mbps outgoing Decoding (AI off) 2 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 2 × 12 MP @ 30 fps · 4 × 8 MP @ 30 fps · 6 × 5 MP @ 30 fps · 8 × 4 MP @ 30 fps Decoding (AI on) 1 × 16 MP @ 30 fps · 3 × 8 MP @ 30 fps · 4 × 5 MP @ 30 fps · 6 × 4 MP @ 30 fps · 8 × 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 (independent AI chip, deep-learning) Face Detection (NVR) 1 channel · up to 12 face snapshots/sec Face Recognition (NVR) 1 ch (FD+FR by recorder) or 8 ch (FD by camera + FR by recorder) Face Database 10 databases · 20,000 images · 2.5 GB total · gender / age / glasses / expression / mask / beard attributes Perimeter Protection 2 channels · 10 IVS rules per channel · human / vehicle filter SMD Plus 4 channels (by recorder) · 8 channels (by camera) ANPR (by camera) 4 channels · 20,000-plate database · blocklist / allowlist Quick Pick Yes (requires WizSense IPC pairing) AI Search Metadata search + face-image upload search across recorded video AI by Camera (passthrough) Face detection · Face recognition · Perimeter protection · SMD Plus · ANPR · People counting · Stereo analysis · Heat map HDD bays 2 × SATA · up to 16 TB per drive Video output 1 × HDMI (4K · 3840×2160) + 1 × VGA (1080p) · simultaneous (configurable) Multi-screen display 1st screen: 1 / 4 / 8 / 9 · 2nd screen: 1 / 4 / 8 / 9 Audio I/O 1 × RCA in · 1 × RCA out Alarm I/O 4 × alarm in · 2 × alarm out (physical terminals) USB 2 × USB 2.0 (1 front · 1 rear) Network port 1 × RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps) PoE 8 × ports · 10/100 Mbps · IEEE 802.3af/at · 72 W total · 25.5 W per port (max) Network protocols HTTP / HTTPS · TCP/IP · IPv4/IPv6 · UPnP · SNMP · RTSP · UDP · SMTP · NTP · DHCP · DNS · IP Filter · PPPoE · DDNS · FTP · Alarm Server · P2P · Auto Register ONVIF 21.12 (Profile T / S / G) · CGI · SDK Third-party camera support Panasonic · Sony · Samsung · Axis · Pelco · Arecont · Canon · ONVIF Mobile app DMSS (iOS / Android) Record modes General · motion detection · intelligent · alarm Backup USB device · network Power supply 100 – 240 VAC · 47 – 63 Hz (internal universal-voltage PSU) Power consumption < 10 W NVR-side (without HDD, PoE load excluded) Operating temperature −10 °C to +55 °C Operating humidity 10% – 93% RH Dimensions 375 × 329.3 × 53 mm (Full 1U) Net weight 2.51 kg Installation Rack or desktop 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-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
