Details
8-Channel 4K Decoding with Integrated 8-Port PoE
The Dahua DHI-NVR4208-8P-4KS3 is a high-performance 8-channel 1U Network Video Recorder engineered for small-to-medium commercial spaces, retail stores, and residential security setups. Supporting IP camera resolutions up to 12 MP and 4K HDMI output (3840 × 2160), it delivers high-definition live view and playback. Featuring 8 built-in PoE ports with a generous 130 W power budget, installers can connect, power, and configure smart IP cameras over single Ethernet cables without extra switches.
Intelligent SMD Plus and Smart Camera AI Integration
Equipped with on-board SMD Plus by Recorder across 4 channels, the unit accurately classifies humans and vehicles to eliminate false triggers caused by falling leaves, rain, or lighting shifts. When paired with smart Dahua AI cameras, the NVR seamlessly processes up to 6-channel perimeter protection, face detection and recognition, people counting, stereo analysis, and crowd heat mapping.
Dual SATA Storage, Smart Compression, and Alarm I/O
- High-Capacity 2-Bay Storage: 2 SATA interfaces support up to 20 TB per hard drive (40 TB total) for extended local recording retention.
- Efficient Smart H.265+ Codec: Significantly optimizes network bandwidth and storage consumption without sacrificing 4K image quality.
- Multi-Screen Display Options: Simultaneous and heterogeneous display modes across HDMI (up to 4K) and VGA (up to 1080p) outputs.
- Industrial Alarm & Audio Interfaces: Built-in 4 alarm inputs, 2 alarm outputs, and RCA audio input/output for comprehensive peripheral integration.
