High-Density 32-Channel 4K Processing with 16-Port PoE
The Dahua DHI-NVR4232-16P-4KS3 is a high-capacity 32-channel 1U Network Video Recorder engineered for medium-to-large surveillance deployments across commercial offices, warehouses, retail centers, and residential complexes. Supporting IP cameras up to 12 MP resolution and 4K HDMI output (3840 × 2160), it provides crystal-clear live view and playback. Featuring 16 integrated PoE ports with a 130 W total power budget, the unit simplifies multi-camera installations by delivering data and power over single Ethernet cables.
Intelligent SMD Plus and Deep Camera AI Linkage
Equipped with on-board SMD Plus by Recorder across 2 channels, the NVR accurately classifies human and motor vehicle targets, eliminating false triggers from moving trees, heavy rain, or changing light. When connected to compatible Dahua AI cameras, the system unlocks enterprise intelligence, including 6-channel perimeter protection, face detection and recognition, people counting, stereo analysis, and crowd heat mapping.
Dual SATA Storage, Smart Codec, and Peripheral Integration
- High-Capacity 2-Bay Storage: 2 SATA interfaces support up to 20 TB per hard drive (40 TB total) for extended continuous recording.
- Smart H.265+ Compression: Significantly reduces transmission bitrate and storage consumption while preserving 4K forensic details.
- Flexible Multi-Screen Display: Supports simultaneous and heterogeneous display modes across HDMI (up to 4K) and VGA (up to 1080p).
- Industrial I/O Connectivity: Equipped with 4 alarm inputs, 2 alarm outputs, RCA audio in/out, and RS-232 serial control.
