Details
16 CH Expansion in a Compact Chassis
The Dahua DHI-NVR4116HS-8P-EI combines 16-channel IP camera access with a compact 260 × 232.7 × 47.6 mm enclosure. Eight integrated PoE ports provide direct power and network connections for the initial camera deployment. Additional cameras can connect through the network to use the recorder's remaining channels, making this model suitable for shops, offices and multi-zone sites that require future expansion without a larger recorder chassis.
Search People and Vehicles with QuickPick 2.0
When paired with select compatible IP cameras, QuickPick 2.0 helps operators locate human and vehicle targets using attributes such as clothing color, vehicle color, hats, clothing types and vehicle types. Recorder-side intelligence also provides one channel of face detection and recognition, two channels of perimeter protection and four channels of SMD Plus for focused event analysis.
The face-management system supports up to 10 databases containing a combined 20,000 images and 2.5 GB of data. Names, credential information and regional details can be associated with stored face images, helping users organize identity records for comparison and investigation.
Bandwidth, Decoding and Storage Resources
- High-resolution access: Supports IP cameras up to 16 MP and HDMI output at up to 3840 × 2160.
- Conditional bandwidth: Provides 256 Mbps incoming, recording and outgoing bandwidth with recorder AI disabled, or 180 Mbps with AI enabled.
- Multi-camera decoding: Handles up to 16 1080p streams at 30 fps without recorder AI; AI mode supports 12 1080p or 16 720p streams at 30 fps.
- Local storage: One SATA interface supports one HDD up to 20 TB, subject to environmental conditions.
