WizSense AI · 8-Channel · 8-PoE · 4K
8-Channel WizSense NVR
The Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ is a compact 8-channel WizSense AI NVR with 8 built-in PoE+ ports, 4K HDMI output, and a dedicated deep-learning chip for face recognition, perimeter protection and SMD Plus motion analytics. Record up to 16 MP per channel, plug all eight cameras directly into the back of the recorder, and view live or playback from your phone via DMSS — all from a chassis small enough to slip into a media cabinet.
This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix), shipping with regional firmware, an AS/NZS-compliant 53 VDC adaptor, and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. One SATA bay accepts a surveillance-grade HDD up to 16 TB — ideal for homes, small offices, retail shops and workshops running up to eight cameras.
8 PoE+ ports — one cable per camera
PoE Ports
8 × 10/100 · IEEE 802.3af/at
PoE Budget
72 W total · up to 25.5 W per port
Power + video on one cable
Each Cat6 run carries power and video back to the NVR — no power adaptors at every camera, no PoE switch in the rack. Eight ports cover most homes, small offices and retail shops in one box.
Powers high-draw cameras
25.5 W per port (PoE+ / 802.3at) handles IR-heavy bullets, mini PTZs, multi-sensor cameras and Dahua's active-deterrence units that exceed the basic PoE 15 W ceiling.
Gigabit uplink to your network
10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 to your switch or router — remote viewing, NAS backup and multi-site VMS pulls don't bottleneck on a slow link.
Australia / NZ-tuned firmware
The AI/ANZ suffix means region-correct firmware, AS/NZS-compliant 53 VDC adaptor, and a 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney.

3-Year Australian warranty
Backed locally by CCTV Guru in Sydney with replacement stock on hand. No overseas RMA, no shipping back to the manufacturer — a real Australian warranty.
NVR4108HS-8P vs NVR4208-8P — how it compares
Both 8-channel siblings share the same WizSense AI feature set, 8 PoE+ ports and 72 W PoE budget. The differences sit in storage, hardware alarm I/O, power supply and chassis size — choose the 4108HS (this model) for a compact desktop install, or step up to the 4208 when you need redundant storage and wired alarm integration.

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.
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.

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).
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.

WizSense + AcuPick · 5-Series · 8-Channel · 32 MP · 4K
8CH AcuPick NVR
The Dahua DHI-NVR5208-8P-AI/ANZ is an 8-channel 5-Series WizSense AI NVR with AcuPick, 8 built-in PoE+ ports (all 8 supporting ePoE), 4K HDMI output and an industrial-grade AI chip that delivers the full 5-Series feature set in a smaller, channel-count form factor. Record up to 32 MP per channel, run AcuPick across all 8 channels, and stream 384 Mbps through a full-1U chassis with dual SATA bays, hardware alarm I/O, RS-232 + RS-485 serial, and N+M cluster failover.
This is the official Australia / NZ-market SKU (the AI/ANZ suffix), shipping with regional firmware, an internal 100–240 VAC universal PSU, and a local 3-year warranty backed by CCTV Guru in Sydney. The 5-Series in 8-channel format — choose this when you want AcuPick and the deeper analytics depth without paying for sixteen PoE ports you won't use.
AcuPick — find anyone, anything, in seconds
AcuPick Channels
Up to 8 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 every channel for matches across hours or days — clothing colour, body shape, vehicle model and direction included.
Front- + back-end intelligence
Camera-side AI extracts the target attributes during recording; NVR-side AI runs the comparison. Higher accuracy than recorder-only search — and orders of magnitude faster than human review.
All 8 channels of AcuPick
Run AcuPick across every channel simultaneously when paired with WizSense IPC. Investigations that used to take an afternoon now finish before the kettle boils.
Beyond Quick Pick
AcuPick is the next generation of Dahua's Quick Pick — more attributes, more accuracy, and supports both people and vehicles natively. Exclusive to the 5-Series NVR family.
5-Series WizSense AI — depth without compromise
Industrial AI Chip
Same depth as the 16-ch flagship
Face Database
20 databases · 20,000 images
Face Recognition (2 ch by NVR)
2 channels of full face detection + recognition by the recorder (12 face snapshots/sec each), or up to 8 channels using camera-side detection feeding NVR-side recognition (16 face snapshots/sec). Twenty face databases.
Perimeter Protection (4 ch)
4 NVR-side channels of tripwire and intrusion analytics with 10 IVS rules each — double the 4-Series. Human/vehicle classification cuts false alarms from animals, weather and lighting.
SMD Plus on 8 channels
Smart Motion Detection Plus runs deep-learning second-pass classification across all 8 channels — every camera benefits, no channels left out.
ANPR by camera (8 channels)
Pair with Dahua ANPR cameras for full 8-channel licence-plate recognition feeding a 20,000-plate database with blocklist / allowlist control. Ideal for site gates, carparks and fleet yards.
Video Metadata search
Search recorded video by structured attributes — top colour, bottom colour, hat, bag, umbrella, gender, age, vehicle make / model / colour / plate, helmet wear and more.
N+M cluster failover
Pair multiple 5-Series NVRs in an N+M cluster — backup recorders automatically take over if a primary fails, ensuring zero footage loss for critical sites.

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.
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.

What is WizSense SMD+?Smart Motion Detection Plus is Dahua's deep-learning AI that classifies motion as human or vehicle, filtering out animals, foliage and weather — so you only get alerted on what matters.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 6 × 5MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives roughly 2–3 weeks; choose 4 TB+ for continuous recording.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 6, so you can add up to 2 more cameras into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.
Is remote viewing included?Yes — the free DMSS app (iOS/Android) gives live view, playback and push alerts from anywhere via P2P. No static IP or port forwarding required.
Are the cameras suitable for outdoors?Yes — all cameras are IP67 rated for outdoor installation in all Australian conditions, including coastal salt air and tropical rain.

Key Features
Penta-brid Flexibility — 5 Camera Types, 1 Recorder
Accepts HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS analogue cameras and IP cameras simultaneously. Reuse existing coaxial cable infrastructure while adding IP cameras on the same NVR. No rip-and-replace required.
4K Recording (8MP)
Records analogue channels at up to 4K resolution via HDCVI, and IP channels at up to 8MP. Capture faces, plates, and fine detail with confidence — even on wide-angle shots.
WizSense AI — SMD Plus on All 8 Channels
Smart Motion Detection Plus uses deep learning to distinguish humans and vehicles from animals, foliage, and environmental noise. Dramatically reduces false alarms and makes event search fast and precise.
Perimeter Protection (2 Channels)
Define virtual tripwires and intrusion zones on up to 2 analogue channels. 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.

What's the difference between the TiOC and Dual-Light cameras?The 2 TiOC cameras add active deterrence — a siren, red/blue strobe and two-way voice warning — so they scare intruders off, not just record. The 4 Dual-Light cameras give continuous full-colour coverage. All six are 8MP 4K.
Do all cameras record in colour at night?Yes — all 6 use a warm-light illuminator for 24/7 full colour. If you'd prefer no visible light somewhere, the Dual-Light cameras can be switched to IR mode for discreet black-and-white at night.
Does this kit do AcuPick?Yes — choose the AcuPick NVR5208 option from the drop-down. The cameras are AcuPick-native, and the NVR5208 adds full attribute smart search: find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type or direction of travel. The Standard NVR4108 option still gives Quick Pick target search.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 6 × 8MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives 7–10 days, ~4 TB gives 14–20 days; choose more for continuous recording.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 6, so you can add up to 2 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.

›Camera placement: mount at 2.5–3 m so the warm-light array reaches the target zone for full-colour capture at night.
›Cabling & sealing: run solid-copper Cat6 (max 100 m per camera) and seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with a junction box or weatherproof tape against moisture and salt air.
›Full-colour mode: leave Smart Dual-Light on auto for IR-to-colour hand-off, or force full-colour where you always want colour footage.

What is Smart Dual-Light?The cameras use both IR and warm white light. They run on invisible IR until WizSense AI detects a person or vehicle, then switch to warm light for full-colour footage — so you get colour evidence only when it matters, without lighting up the property all night.
Do they record in colour at night?Yes — full colour 24/7 via the warm-light array. You can also lock them to IR-only mode for discreet black-and-white at night if you prefer no visible light.
Does this kit do AcuPick?Yes — choose the AcuPick AI NVR (NVR5208) option for full AcuPick attribute search (find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type and direction). The Standard AI NVR (NVR4108) option gives Quick Pick target search. Both are 8-channel AI NVRs; the cameras are AcuPick-native.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 6 × 8MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives 7–10 days, ~4 TB gives 14–20 days; choose more for continuous recording.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 6, so you can add up to 2 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.

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.
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.

What's the difference between the TiOC and Dual-Light cameras?The 2 TiOC cameras add active deterrence — a siren, red/blue strobe and two-way voice warning — so they scare intruders off, not just record. The 4 Smart Dual-Light cameras give continuous full-colour coverage. All six are 6MP.
Do all cameras record in colour at night?Yes — all 6 use a warm-light illuminator for 24/7 full colour. The Dual-Light cameras run invisible IR until AI detects a person or vehicle, then switch to warm light to capture colour.
Does this kit do AcuPick?Yes — choose the AcuPick NVR5208 option from the drop-down. The cameras are AcuPick-native, and the NVR5208 adds full attribute smart search: find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type or direction of travel. The Standard NVR4108 option still gives Quick Pick target search.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 6 × 6MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives 10–14 days, ~3 TB gives around 2–3 weeks; choose more for continuous recording.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 6, so you can add up to 2 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.

Does this kit include a hard drive?No — the kit ships without a drive so you can size storage to your site. Add a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple HDD from the storage selector below and we'll fit it before dispatch.
How much storage do I need for 16 cameras?For continuous 24/7 recording across all 16 cameras we'd suggest 8–16 TB. The NVR takes up to 16 TB per bay (32 TB total), so you can fit one or two drives — add the drive you need from the storage selector below.
Are these official Australian-stock models?Yes. Every component is genuine Dahua ANZ stock with regional firmware and a local Australian warranty backed by CCTV Guru — not grey import.
How are the cameras powered?Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies or powerpoints at the camera. Cat6 cabling is run on site and not included.
Can I add more than 16 cameras later?This kit uses all 16 channels. To go beyond 16 cameras you'd move to a 32-channel NVR (and a PoE switch for the extra cameras) — our team can spec the right upgrade.

Dahua 10 × 8MP 4K Full-Colour CCTV Kit — 4 × TiOC 3.0 Active Deterrence + 6 × Smart Dual-Light + 16-Channel AI NVR
A complete 10-camera 8MP (4K) system for larger homes and commercial sites: 4 × DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 TiOC 3.0 turrets fire a siren, red/blue strobe and two-way voice warning the moment WizSense AI detects a person or vehicle at your key entries, while 6 × DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ Smart Dual-Light turrets give continuous full-colour coverage across the rest of the property. All ten are 8MP 4K with SMD 4.0 AI. Both recorder options are 16-channel AI NVRs — the difference is search: the Standard AI NVR (NVR4216-16P) gives fast Quick Pick target search, while the AcuPick AI NVR (NVR5216-16P) adds full AcuPick attribute search — find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type and direction. Both have dual HDD bays and 6 spare channels; the TiOC and Dual-Light cameras are AcuPick-native, so the 5216 unlocks their full forensic search.

›Camera placement: put the 4 TiOC active-deterrence cameras at entry points and the 6 Dual-Light cameras across general coverage.
›Storage sizing: ten 8MP cameras generate a lot of data — use both HDD bays (e.g. 2 × 8 TB) for several weeks of retention.
›Cabling & sealing: run solid-copper Cat6 (max 100 m per camera) and seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with a junction box or weatherproof tape.

What's the difference between the TiOC and Dual-Light cameras?The 4 TiOC cameras add active deterrence — a siren, red/blue strobe and two-way voice warning. The 6 Dual-Light cameras give continuous full-colour coverage. All ten are 8MP 4K.
Why a 16-channel NVR for 10 cameras?It leaves 6 spare PoE channels so you can expand later without replacing the recorder, and the two HDD bays give you room for long retention across ten 8MP streams.
Does this kit do AcuPick?Yes — choose the AcuPick AI NVR (NVR5216-16P) option for full AcuPick attribute search (find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type and direction). The Standard AI NVR (NVR4216-16P) option gives Quick Pick target search. Both are 16-channel AI NVRs; the cameras are AcuPick-native.
How much storage do I need?No HDD is included. For 10 × 8MP on motion-only, ~6–8 TB gives 1–2 weeks; fit both bays (e.g. 2 × 8 TB) for several weeks or continuous recording.
Do all cameras record in colour at night?Yes — all ten use a warm-light illuminator for 24/7 full colour. The Dual-Light cameras can also switch to IR-only mode for discreet black-and-white at night.

4× Dual Light 4K
Dahua 4 × 8MP 4K Full-Colour Smart Dual-Light CCTV Kit — 4CH, 8CH or AcuPick NVR
This Dahua 4-camera 8MP (4K) kit films in true full colour around the clock. Each of the 4 × DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ Smart Dual-Light turrets runs invisible IR after dark, then flips to warm white light the instant WizSense AI classifies a person or vehicle — capturing clothing colour, vehicle colour and faces that IR-only cameras miss. Your choice of recorder — a 4-channel NVR4104 (Quick Pick), an 8-channel NVR4108 (Quick Pick) or an 8-channel AcuPick NVR5208 for full attribute search — powers and records every camera over a single Cat6 cable each.

What's the difference between the standard and AcuPick NVR?The 4-channel NVR4104 and 8-channel NVR4108 give Quick Pick target search. The 8-channel AcuPick NVR5208 adds full attribute search — find a person or vehicle by colour, clothing and direction — plus face detection, 2 HDD bays and room to add cameras.
What is Smart Dual-Light?The cameras use both IR and warm white light. They run on invisible IR until WizSense AI detects a person or vehicle, then switch to warm light for full-colour footage — so you get colour evidence only when it matters, without lighting up the property all night.
Do they record in colour at night?Yes — full colour 24/7 via the warm-light array. You can also lock them to IR-only mode for discreet black-and-white at night if you prefer no visible light.
Does this kit do AcuPick?The cameras are AcuPick-native. The 4-channel NVR4104 or 8-channel NVR4108 (Quick Pick) options give target search; choose the 8-channel AcuPick NVR5208 option for full AcuPick attribute search — find a person or vehicle by colour, clothing and direction.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 4 × 8MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives roughly 2–3 weeks; choose more for continuous recording.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes — choose an 8-channel NVR (NVR4108 or AcuPick NVR5208) option and it has 4 spare PoE ports, so you can add up to 4 more cameras. The 4-channel NVR4104 option uses all 4 ports.

Is this kit really full colour at night?Yes. Smart Dual Light runs IR by default, then switches to a 30 m warm-white LED the moment AI detects a person or vehicle — recording full-colour footage of the event before returning to IR.
Can I turn off the white light at night?Yes. Smart Dual Light has three modes — Smart Dual (IR by default, warm light only on AI detection), full-colour (warm light always on) and IR-only. If you'd rather avoid any visible spotlight, set IR mode and the cameras keep recording clear black-and-white footage at night with no white light at all.
What's the difference between the two NVR options?The NVR4216 is the standard 16CH AI recorder. The NVR5216 adds AcuPick attribute search and higher bandwidth. AcuPick only runs on the 5-Series, so choose the 5216 if fast footage search matters to you.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has two SATA bays but ships without storage. We recommend a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple HDD, available as an add-on above.
How are the cameras powered?Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies or powerpoints at the camera.
Can I view it on my phone?Yes. Remote live view, playback and AI alerts are free through the Dahua DMSS app on iOS and Android, plus Smart PSS Lite on desktop.

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.

Powers PoE+ cameras
25.5 W per port (PoE+ / 802.3at) handles IR-heavy bullets, mini PTZs and active-deterrence cameras that exceed the basic 15 W PoE ceiling.
WizSense AI — deep-learning that knows people from leaves
Dedicated AI Chip
Independent deep-learning processor
Targeted Alerts
Human + vehicle classification only
Face Recognition
1 channel of face detection + recognition by the NVR (12 face snapshots/sec), or extend to 8 channels using camera-side detection feeding NVR-side recognition. Up to 10 face databases and 20,000 face images.
Perimeter Protection
2 channels of tripwire and intrusion analytics, 10 IVS rules per channel, with human/vehicle secondary recognition to suppress false alarms from animals, leaves and changing light.
SMD Plus on 4 channels
Smart Motion Detection Plus runs a deep-learning second pass on motion events, classifying targets as person or vehicle so only real events make it to your phone.
ANPR by camera (4 channels)
When paired with Dahua ANPR cameras, the NVR stores up to 20,000 number plates with full blocklist / allowlist control — ideal for site gates, fleet yards or staff carparks.
Quick Pick search
Paste a person or vehicle still from any recorded clip and Quick Pick scans the timeline for matches — clothing colour, vehicle colour and direction included. Pair with WizSense IPCs to enable.
AI Search across cameras
Search recorded video by metadata (gender, age group, glasses, mask, beard, vehicle colour, plate, direction) or upload a face image and the NVR finds every appearance across all channels.

NVR4108HS-8P vs NVR4208-8P — how it compares
Both 8-channel siblings share the same WizSense AI feature set, 8 PoE+ ports and 72 W PoE budget. 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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

Enterprise I/O — 2.5 GbE dual NIC, 16 alarm-in, hot-swap chassis
Dual 2.5 Gigabit NICs
Two independent RJ-45 ports running at 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps — 2.5× faster than the gigabit NICs on the 5-Series. 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Retention depends on your cameras. Figures above assume all 4 × 8MP cameras recording continuously in H.265 at ~4 Mbps. Running fewer cameras, a lower resolution/frame rate, or motion/smart-event recording will extend storage time considerably; higher bitrate or more cameras added to the spare channels will reduce it. Estimates are a guide only and vary with scene activity and camera settings.
Installation Notes
›Camera placement: mount cameras 2.5–3 m high, angled down across entries, driveways and perimeters; keep warm-light LEDs clear of walls and eaves to avoid glare.
›Cabling & sealing: run solid-copper Cat6 to each camera and seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with a junction box or weatherproof tape against moisture and salt air.
›NVR & storage: fit a surveillance-grade HDD before first boot, and place the recorder in a cool, dust-free, ventilated spot away from direct sunlight for reliable 24/7 recording.

Do the cameras record in colour at night?Yes. These are 8MP OwlView ColorHunter cameras — the 1/1.8″ sensor, F1.0 lens and Wise-ISP deliver true full-colour video 24/7, with warm-light LEDs reaching up to 30 m in dark scenes.
Is this kit NDAA compliant?Yes. Both the Uniview UNV ColorHunter cameras and the NVR501-08B-P8-IQ recorder are NDAA Section 889 compliant, making this kit suitable for government, education and security-sensitive sites in Australia.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay but ships without storage. We recommend a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple HDD. See the retention table above to size your drive to how long you want to keep footage.
How much recording time will I get?It depends on your cameras and settings. With all 4 × 8MP cameras recording continuously, roughly 4 TB holds about 3 weeks; switching to motion/smart-event recording or fewer cameras extends that significantly (full table above).
How are the cameras powered?Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies or powerpoints at the camera.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 4, so you can add up to 4 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.
What is AcuSearch, AcuTrack and SeekFree?They're the recorder's -IQ AI review tools: AcuSearch filters footage by people and vehicles, AcuTrack follows a target across cameras, and SeekFree lets you search recordings by typing what you're after — so you find events in seconds.
Can I view it remotely?Yes. Free P2P cloud access through the Uniview UNV app and EZCloud lets you watch live and recorded footage from your phone or computer anywhere.

Yes. The NVR1104H-4P supports ONVIF Profile S, allowing basic integration with compatible third-party IP cameras. For full smart detection, plug-and-play setup, and two-way audio, TP-Link VIGI cameras are recommended.
How many cameras can I connect?
Up to four IP cameras can be connected — one per PoE+ port. All four can record simultaneously and be viewed in a split-screen layout.
Can I access footage remotely?
Yes. Remote access is available via the free VIGI mobile app (iOS and Android), a web browser UI, or the VIGI Security Manager desktop software.
What is the maximum PoE power per port?
Each PoE+ port supports up to 30W, with a total system budget of 53W across all four ports. This is sufficient for most VIGI cameras including pan tilt models.
Is this NVR suitable for outdoor installation?
The NVR itself is designed for indoor use. It should be installed in a sheltered, ventilated location. The connected cameras handle outdoor exposure.

Retention depends on your settings. Figures assume all 10 × 8MP cameras recording continuously in H.265+ at ~4 Mbps. Recording on motion or AI events, a lower frame rate, or fewer cameras will extend storage time considerably; a higher bitrate will reduce it. Estimates are a guide only.
Installation Notes
›Power & expansion: the NVR's 140 W PoE budget comfortably runs all ten 8MP cameras, leaving 6 spare ports/channels. If you later expand toward a full 16 cameras, add a small external PoE switch for the extra cameras.
›Cabling & sealing: run solid-copper Cat6 to each camera (up to 100 m) and seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with a junction box or weatherproof tape against moisture and salt air.
›NVR & storage: fit surveillance-grade HDDs into the SATA bays before first boot, and place the recorder in a cool, dust-free, ventilated spot for reliable 24/7 recording.
Datasheets

VIGI NVR2016H-16MP Datasheet
Why a 16-channel NVR for 10 cameras?It gives you 6 spare channels and PoE ports to add more cameras later without replacing the recorder — and keeps all ten cameras comfortably within the 140 W PoE budget.
Does the kit include hard drives?No — the NVR has two empty SATA bays (up to 16 TB each). Add surveillance-grade drives sized to your retention; see the storage guide above.
Do the cameras record in colour at night?Yes. Each InSight S485 keeps true 24/7 full-colour 4K video down to 0 lux using its F1.6 lens and white LEDs.
How does Active Defense work?On AI detection of a person or vehicle, the camera flashes its white light and sounds an audible warning, and you can speak live through two-way audio.
Will it alert me to people and vehicles only?Yes — Human & Vehicle Classification plus line-crossing and intrusion rules filter out irrelevant movement to reduce false alarms.
Can I view it remotely?Yes. The free VIGI app for iOS and Android gives live view, playback and push alerts from anywhere, with no monthly fees.
Are the cameras weatherproof?All ten turrets are IP67-rated with metal housings and a −30°C to 60°C range, suited to exposed Australian sites.
Is it covered by warranty in Australia?Yes — 3-year Australian warranty with local CCTV Guru tech support.

What's the difference between the standard and AcuPick NVR?The 4-channel NVR4104 and 8-channel NVR4108 give Quick Pick target search. The 8-channel AcuPick NVR5208 adds full attribute search — find a person or vehicle by colour, clothing and direction — plus face detection, 2 HDD bays and room to add cameras.
What is Smart Dual-Light?The cameras use both IR and warm white light. They run on invisible IR until WizSense AI detects a person or vehicle, then switch to warm light for full-colour footage — colour evidence only when it matters, without lighting the property all night.
Why is this called 3K?6MP sits between 1080p and 4K — commonly marketed as 3K. More detail than 1080p, lower storage than 4K.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. ~2 TB gives roughly 3 weeks on motion-only for four 6MP cameras.
Can I add more cameras later?Yes — choose an 8-channel NVR (NVR4108 or AcuPick NVR5208) option and it has 4 spare PoE ports, so you can add up to 4 more cameras. The 4-channel NVR4104 option uses all 4 ports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NVR1004H have built-in PoE ports?
No. The NVR1004H does not include PoE ports. To power PoE cameras, you will need a separate PoE switch connected between the NVR and your cameras. If you prefer an all-in-one solution with built-in PoE, consider the VIGI NVR1004H-4P, which includes four 802.3af/at PoE ports.
Does the NVR come with a hard drive?
No — a hard drive is not included. The NVR1004H supports one 3.5" SATA drive up to 10 TB. We recommend a surveillance-grade drive such as the Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple series, designed for the continuous read/write demands of 24/7 NVR recording.
Does it only work with VIGI cameras?
The NVR1004H is optimised for VIGI cameras and offers plug-and-play auto-detection with the full VIGI range. It also supports third-party ONVIF-compatible IP cameras, though advanced features such as smart detection alerts may not be available with non-VIGI cameras.
Can I access recordings remotely on my phone?
Yes. The free VIGI app (iOS and Android) provides live view, playback, and smart detection push notifications from anywhere with an internet connection. No subscription fee is required for remote access.
How much recording time does 1 TB of storage provide?
Storage duration depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, and recording schedule. As a general guide, four 4MP cameras recording continuously with H.265+ compression will typically fill 1 TB in approximately 7–10 days. A 4 TB drive extends this to roughly 28–40 days of continuous recording.
Can I expand beyond four cameras?
No — the NVR1004H supports a maximum of four channels. For larger deployments, consider the VIGI NVR1008H (8-channel) or NVR2016H (16-channel).
Does it support motion-triggered recording?
Yes. The NVR1004H supports continuous, schedule-based, motion-triggered, and smart detection-triggered recording. When paired with compatible VIGI cameras, it can trigger recording based on person or vehicle detection events.

Hikvision 4-Camera ColorVu 3.0 Live-Guard Active Deterrence CCTV Kit with 8-Channel PoE NVR — 6MP or 8MP
The Hikvision 4-Camera ColorVu 3.0 Live-Guard Kit is a ready-to-install active-deterrence bundle for Australian homes, shops, offices and small commercial sites. It pairs four ColorVu 3.0 Smart Hybrid Light Live-Guard turrets — your choice of 6MP (DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL) or 8MP 4K (DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL) — with a DS-7608NI-M2/8P-M 8-channel PoE NVR. On AcuSense human/vehicle detection every camera can fire a white-light strobe, 110 dB siren and live two-way audio — stopping intruders instead of just recording them — while delivering true 24/7 colour to 0.0005 lux. All 8 PoE ports power each camera over a single Cat6 run, with room to grow to eight cameras.

ColorVu 3.0 — True 24/7 Colour
A 1/1.8" sensor and F1.0 super-aperture deliver full-colour images down to 0.0005 lux. Smart Hybrid Light adds white light or IR (up to 30 m) so you capture clothing and number-plate colour all night, not grey IR.
Live-Guard Active Deterrence
On AcuSense human/vehicle detection each camera flashes a white strobe, sounds a 110 dB warning and lets you talk down live via Hik-Connect — turning intruders away before they reach the door.
8-Port PoE — Plug & Play
One Cat6 cable per camera carries power and video to the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies, no extra switch, commissioning in minutes.
6MP or 8MP — Your Choice
Pick 6MP (3200 × 1800) for excellent detail and lower storage use, or 8MP 4K (3840 × 2160) for maximum clarity on faces, plates and large coverage areas. Same Live-Guard deterrence either way.

Hikvision Camera Quick Start Guide
Should I choose the 6MP or 8MP kit?Both use the same ColorVu 3.0 Live-Guard turret with strobe, siren and two-way audio. Choose 6MP (3200 × 1800) for excellent detail and lower storage use; choose 8MP 4K (3840 × 2160) for maximum clarity on faces, plates and larger coverage areas.
What is Live-Guard active deterrence?On AcuSense human/vehicle detection each camera flashes a white-light strobe, sounds a 110 dB warning and lets you open live two-way audio via Hik-Connect — actively turning intruders away.
Do these really see colour at night?Yes — ColorVu 3.0 with an F1.0 super-aperture delivers full-colour images down to 0.0005 lux, with Smart Hybrid Light adding white light or IR as needed.
Is a hard drive included?No — this kit ships without an HDD so you can size storage to your needs. Add a surveillance-grade drive (4TB suits most 4-camera installs, 6TB+ for 8MP or continuous recording); the NVR has two SATA bays for up to 32 TB total.
How are the cameras powered, and can I add more?Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies. The 8-channel NVR lets you add up to four more compatible Hikvision IP cameras later.

Hikvision Camera Quick Start Guide
Why a 16-channel NVR for six cameras?Starting on a 16-channel recorder means you never have to replace it later. Ten spare channels and PoE ports let you add cameras as the business grows, and the M-Series engine gives plenty of bandwidth for all six 4K cameras now.
What's the difference between the three camera types?The Live-Guard turrets add strobe, siren and two-way audio for active deterrence; the audio turrets are detail-focused DarkFighter cameras with a mic; the mini-domes are low-profile, IK08 vandal-resistant cameras ideal for indoor and entry coverage.
Are the mini-domes vandal-resistant?Yes — the DS-2CD2586G2-IS is rated IK08 against impact and tampering, plus IP67 for dust and water resistance, so it suits exposed entries and public-facing areas.
Can I turn off the strobe and siren?Yes. The Live-Guard deterrence can be scheduled to activate only after hours or disabled entirely from the Hik-Connect app or NVR menu.
Is a hard drive included?No — the NVR ships as a chassis with two empty SATA bays (up to 32 TB total). Add a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple drive to record from day one.

On AcuSense human/vehicle detection each camera flashes a white strobe, sounds an audible warning and lets you talk down live via Hik-Connect — turning intruders away before they reach the door.
Add Your Own Storage
The NVR has dual SATA bays (up to 32 TB total) and ships without a drive — add a surveillance-grade HDD from the storage options below the listing, sized for the retention you need across all six 4K channels, with two spare PoE ports for future cameras.

Is this kit really full colour at night?Yes. Smart Dual Light runs IR by default, then switches to a 30 m warm-white LED the moment AI detects a person or vehicle — recording full-colour 4K footage of the event before returning to IR.
Can I turn off the white light at night?Yes. Smart Dual Light has three modes — Smart Dual (IR by default, warm light only on AI detection), full-colour (warm light always on) and IR-only. If you'd rather avoid any visible spotlight, set IR mode and the cameras keep recording clear black-and-white footage at night with no white light at all.
What's the difference between the two NVR options?The NVR4216 is the standard 16CH AI recorder. The NVR5216 adds AcuPick attribute search and higher bandwidth. AcuPick only runs on the 5-Series, so choose the 5216 if fast footage search matters to you.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has two SATA bays but ships without storage. We recommend a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple HDD, available as an add-on above.
How are the cameras powered?Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies or powerpoints at the camera.
Can I view it on my phone?Yes. Remote live view, playback and AI alerts are free through the Dahua DMSS app on iOS and Android, plus Smart PSS Lite on desktop.

WizSense AI · Penta-brid · 4-Channel
The Dahua DH-XVR5104HS-I3-S3 is a 4-channel Penta-brid HDCVI recorder that handles five video signals on one box — HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS analog, plus IP. Drop it in to replace an old DVR using the existing coax runs, or expand it later by converting analog channels to IP for up to 6 IP cameras at 6 MP. It records at up to 5 MP HDCVI per channel, supports Smart H.265+ for roughly half the storage of H.264, and ships with Dahua's WizSense AI chip for deep-learning human and vehicle filtering.
Designed for small retail, workshops, residences and offices, the XVR5104HS-I3-S3 fits a compact 1U desktop chassis with one SATA bay (up to 16 TB), HDMI + VGA simultaneous outputs, and free remote viewing through the DMSS mobile app. Backed by a 3-year warranty and Australian tech support from CCTV Guru.

+ up to 6 IP cameras
Two IP channels by default, plus four more when analog channels are converted to IP. Mix and match analog and IP up to six cameras total.
5 MP HDCVI recording
Full 5 MP @ 25 fps on HDCVI, 4 MP @ 30 fps, or 1080p @ 30 fps — far sharper than legacy 720p / 960H DVRs using the same coax cable.
Coaxial audio on all 4 channels
Carries audio over the same BNC coax — no extra audio cable, no extra RCA runs. Rare at this price point.
WizSense AI — deep-learning detection, fewer false alarms
Dedicated AI Chip
Independent deep-learning processor
Targeted Alerts
Filters out leaves, rain, shadows & lighting
SMD Plus on all 4 channels
Smart Motion Detection Plus runs a second AI pass on every motion event, classifying targets as person or vehicle and discarding false alarms from weather and lighting.
Perimeter Protection
Up to 4 channels of tripwire and intrusion analytics (10 IVS rules per channel) with human/vehicle secondary recognition to suppress nuisance triggers.
Face Detection & Recognition
One channel of face detection (up to 8 face snapshots/sec) and one channel of face recognition with up to 10 face databases and 10,000 stored images.
QuickPick 2.0 search
Find similar targets across recorded footage in seconds — paste a person or vehicle still and QuickPick scans the timeline for matches.
AI Video Quality analytics
Continuously checks all 4 channels for brightness, colour cast, defocus, overexposure and contrast issues — alerts you the moment a camera drifts out of spec.
AI Coding (Smart H.265+)
Smart H.265+ encoding cuts storage and bandwidth by up to 50% versus H.264 by lowering the bitrate on static background pixels and keeping detail on moving targets.

Frequently asked questions
Will this XVR work with my old analog CCTV cameras?
Yes. Penta-brid means every BNC input auto-detects HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS — so any analog camera using one of those four standards plugs straight in. You don't need to know which format your cameras use; the XVR figures it out.
Can I add IP cameras to it?
Yes — 2 IP channels are available by default, and up to 4 more analog channels can be converted to IP, for a maximum of 6 IP cameras at up to 6 MP each. Note: when IP extension is enabled, the WizSense AI functions are not available on those converted channels.
Does it power my cameras (PoE)?
No. The XVR5104HS-I3-S3 is a HDCVI recorder, not a PoE NVR — your analog and IP cameras each need their own 12 VDC power supply or PoE injector. For a PoE-powered solution, look at the Dahua WizSense NVR4108-P-AI/H series.
What hard drive should I use?
Use a surveillance-rated SATA HDD — Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk up to 16 TB. Standard desktop drives are not rated for 24/7 recording and will fail prematurely. CCTV Guru stocks compatible drives if you need one bundled.
How do I view it remotely on my phone?
Install the free DMSS app on iOS or Android, scan the QR code on the XVR'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 run hot enough to need a fan or rack?
No — under 5 W idle (without HDD) and a compact 1U desktop chassis. It runs cool on a shelf or in a cabinet. Operating range is −10 °C to +55 °C.
Is the 3-year warranty backed locally?
Yes — CCTV Guru honours a 3-year warranty in Australia, with local tech support and replacement stock held in Sydney. No overseas RMAs, no shipping back to the manufacturer.

This Dahua 4-camera 8MP (4K) TiOC 3.0 kit doesn't just record — it actively warns intruders off. Each of the 4 × DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 TiOC 3.0 turrets fires a siren, red/blue strobe and two-way voice warning the moment WizSense AI detects a person or vehicle, and films in true full colour around the clock. Choose your recorder: a 4-channel or 8-channel AI NVR with fast Quick Pick target search, or step up to the 8-channel AcuPick NVR5208 for full AcuPick attribute search — find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type and direction across hours of footage. The 8CH options leave 4 PoE ports free to grow later; the TiOC cameras are AcuPick-native, so the 5208 unlocks their full forensic search.

What does TiOC 3.0 mean?TiOC stands for Three-in-One Camera: full-colour night vision, active deterrence (siren + red/blue strobe) and two-way audio in a single device — so the camera responds to intruders rather than just recording them.
Which NVR should I choose?The 4CH NVR suits a fixed four-camera system; the 8CH leaves 4 spare PoE ports to expand. Choose the AcuPick NVR5208 if you want attribute smart search — find people or vehicles by colour, clothing and direction in seconds.
Does this kit do AcuPick?Yes — choose the AcuPick NVR5208 option for full AcuPick attribute search (find a person or vehicle by clothing colour, vehicle type and direction). The 4CH and 8CH NVR options give Quick Pick target search. The TiOC cameras are AcuPick-native.
Does a hard drive come included?No — the NVR has one SATA bay (up to 10 TB) but ships without storage. For 4 × 8MP on motion-only, ~2 TB gives roughly 2–3 weeks; choose more for continuous recording.
Do the cameras record in colour at night?Yes — a warm-light illuminator gives 24/7 full colour. You can also switch to IR-only mode for discreet black-and-white at night if you prefer no visible light.

The Hikvision iDS-7208HUHI-M2/S is Hikvision's flagship 8-channel AcuSense DVR for Australian installers and integrators who demand AI-powered false alarm reduction, 4K recording, and maximum camera flexibility in a compact 1U chassis. As a true Turbo HD DVR, it accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS, and IP cameras on the same unit — protecting your existing coaxial cable investment while giving you a clear upgrade path to full IP.
Powered by Hikvision's AcuSense deep learning engine, the iDS-7208HUHI-M2/S delivers human and vehicle classification across all analogue channels — dramatically reducing false alarms from animals, foliage, and environmental noise. Combined with 4K recording, H.265+ compression, and dual HDD bays, this is the recorder that outperforms everything else at its price point.

Key Features
AcuSense AI — Human & Vehicle Classification
Hikvision's AcuSense deep learning engine classifies motion events as human or vehicle — filtering out animals, foliage, rain, and other false triggers. Only real threats generate alerts. Dramatically reduces alarm fatigue for operators and end users alike.
4K Recording (8MP)
Records analogue channels at up to 4K resolution via HDTVI, and IP channels at up to 8MP. Capture faces, licence plates, and fine detail with confidence — even on wide-angle shots covering large areas.
Perimeter Protection — Line Crossing & Intrusion Detection
Define virtual tripwires and intrusion zones on analogue channels. The DVR triggers alerts only when a classified human or vehicle crosses the boundary — not every time a leaf blows past or a cat walks through frame.
Turbo HD — 5-in-1 Camera Compatibility
Accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS analogue cameras and IP cameras simultaneously. Reuse existing coaxial cable infrastructure while adding IP cameras on the same DVR. No rip-and-replace required.
Dual HDD Bays — Up to 16TB Total
Two 3.5" SATA HDD bays support up to 8TB per drive (16TB total) — double the storage capacity of single-bay recorders. Longer retention periods without compromising resolution or frame rate.
H.265+ Compression
H.265+ dual-stream compression reduces storage consumption by up to 75% versus H.264 — meaning your HDDs last longer and your bandwidth stays manageable across remote monitoring connections.
Smart Search & Quick Playback
Search recorded footage by human or vehicle events rather than scrubbing through hours of continuous recording. Find the clip you need in seconds — critical for incident investigation and insurance claims.
Remote Access via Hik-Connect & iVMS-4200
Monitor live and recorded footage from anywhere via the Hik-Connect mobile app (iOS & Android) or iVMS-4200 desktop client. P2P connection — no static IP or port forwarding required.

Analogue Camera Upgrades
Already have coaxial cable runs? Keep them. The iDS-7208HUHI-M2/S connects your existing HDTVI, AHD, or HDCVI cameras while letting you add IP cameras on the same DVR — a cost-effective upgrade path to AcuSense AI.
Small Retail & Convenience Stores
8 channels covers entry, POS counter, stockroom, and car park. AcuSense filters out false alarms from foot traffic — only genuine human intrusion events trigger notifications after hours.
Warehouses & Industrial Sites
Perimeter Protection secures loading docks and yard boundaries. Dual HDD bays provide extended retention for large sites with high camera activity.
Small Offices & Commercial Premises
Compact 1U chassis fits in a server rack or comms cabinet. Remote access via Hik-Connect keeps management informed without on-site visits.
Residential Homes
8 channels covers every entry point, garage, and outdoor area. AcuSense eliminates nuisance alerts from pets and passing cars. Hik-Connect app provides instant mobile push notifications.
Schools & Childcare Centres
AI-powered human detection reduces nuisance alerts in busy environments. Smart Search speeds up incident review for duty-of-care compliance.

HDD Not Included — Choose Your Capacity
The iDS-7208HUHI-M2/S has 2 × 3.5" SATA HDD bays supporting up to 8TB per drive (16TB total). We recommend a WD Purple Pro or Seagate SkyHawk AI surveillance-grade drive — purpose-built for 24/7 AI DVR workloads. Contact our team for a retention calculation based on your camera count, resolution, and recording schedule.
Estimated Retention (8 × 5MP @ 15 fps, H.265+)
2TB ≈ 10–14 days · 4TB ≈ 20–28 days · 8TB ≈ 40–56 days per drive. With 2 × 8TB drives, achieve up to 112 days of continuous recording. H.265+ compression significantly extends these estimates versus standard H.264 recorders.
