Details
Compact WizSense Recording for Targeted Security Tasks
The Dahua DHI-NVR2108HS-8P-I2 is an 8-channel compact WizSense network video recorder for retail counters, office entrances, residential access points and other installations that need searchable event evidence. Eight integrated PoE ports simplify camera cabling, while the 260 × 232.7 × 47.6 mm desktop chassis fits locations where equipment space is limited.
Face Search and Human or Vehicle Filtering
Recorder-side intelligence includes one channel of face detection and recognition, one channel of perimeter protection and four channels of SMD Plus. The face library supports up to 10 databases containing a combined 5,000 images. Operators can search recorded footage using target metadata or uploaded face pictures, making this model useful where reviewing entrances and locating specific appearances are important.
Compatible AI cameras can extend selected analytics beyond the recorder's built-in resources. The datasheet specifies camera-side face detection and recognition on five channels, perimeter protection on four channels and SMD Plus on six channels. These capacities depend on analytics being performed by compatible cameras rather than by the NVR alone.
Recording and Display Resources
- High-resolution access: Supports IP cameras up to 12 MP and simultaneous HDMI and VGA display, with HDMI output up to 4K.
- Adaptive decoding: Decodes up to six 1080p streams at 30 fps with NVR AI disabled, or four with AI enabled.
- Local storage: One SATA interface supports one HDD up to 10 TB for scheduled, motion, alarm or manual recording.
- PoE capacity: Eight ports share 72 W, with a maximum output of 25.5 W available from one port.
