WizSense + AcuPick · 5-Series · 64-Channel · 4-HDD · 1.5U
The Dahua DHI-NVR5464-AI/ANZ is a 64-channel 5-Series WizSense AI NVR with AcuPick, four SATA bays, dual Gigabit NICs, dual HDMI + dual VGA outputs, and a 1.5U rack chassis built for enterprise-scale installs. Record up to 32 MP per channel, run AcuPick across up to 32 channels, drive a 64-channel split on the main monitor, and scale storage to roughly 64 TB across the four 16 TB drives.
This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix). It's a headend NVR with no built-in PoE — cameras connect through an external PoE switch or your existing managed network. Internal 100–240 VAC universal PSU, AS/NZS-compliant kettle cord, and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. Designed for multi-site retail chains, transport hubs, large carparks, hospitals and any campus running 30–60+ cameras through a structured network. AcuPick, N+M cluster and iSCSI are enabled by Dahua's V5 firmware (current factory ship as of 2025).
AcuPick on up to 32 channels — enterprise-scale search
AcuPick Channels
Up to 32 ch · 1 event / channel / sec
Search Method
Image + attribute · front + back AI
Search by reference image
Click any person or vehicle in recorded video, hit AcuPick, and the NVR scans the active 32 channels for matches across hours or days — clothing colour, body shape, vehicle make / model / colour / direction included.
Front- + back-end intelligence
Camera-side AI extracts target attributes during recording; NVR-side AI runs the comparison. Higher accuracy than recorder-only search and orders of magnitude faster than human review.
Investigations finish in minutes
Find a suspect across the AcuPick-active channels and weeks of footage in a single search. Particularly valuable for police investigations, insurance disputes, and post-incident review.
ANPR + SMD Plus on all 64
While AcuPick covers up to 32 channels, ANPR by camera, SMD Plus by camera and perimeter protection by camera all scale across every connected camera up to 64 — site-wide intelligence with no channel left behind.

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.

Frequently asked questions
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). 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.
