Dahua DHI-NVR5416-16P-AI/ANZ 16-Channel 32MP WizSense AcuPick NVR with 16 PoE+ ePoE & 4 HDD Bays

Description

WizSense + AcuPick · 5-Series · 16-Channel · 16-PoE · 4-HDD · 1.5U 16CH AcuPick NVR

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. Plan for ~8 W average per camera across the 16 ports.

NVR5416-16P vs the family — how it compares

The 5416-16P (this model) is the upgraded 16-channel option — same PoE budget and AI features as the 5216-16P but with double the HDD bays and a 1.5U chassis. Choose this when your install needs longer retention or higher-resolution recording but you don't need to jump up to 32 channels. For the most compact build, step down to the 5216-16P; for 32 channels with RAID-protected 8-HDD storage, step up to the 5832-16P.

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.
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.

    NVR5416-16P vs the family — how it compares

    The 5416-16P (this model) is the upgraded 16-channel option — same PoE budget and AI features as the 5216-16P but with double the HDD bays and a 1.5U chassis. Choose this when your install needs longer retention or higher-resolution recording but you don't need to jump up to 32 channels. For the most compact build, step down to the 5216-16P; for 32 channels with RAID-protected 8-HDD storage, step up to the 5832-16P.

    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.
    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.
