Dahua DH-XVR5104HS-4KL-I3(V3.0) — 4 Channel 4K CCTV DVR

The Dahua DH-XVR5104HS-4KL-I3(V3.0) is a compact 4 channel Penta-brid 4K 5MP WizSense CCTV DVR with one hard drive bay. Its 4 BNC inputs auto-detect HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS cameras, and it accepts up to 8 IP camera channels, so analogue and IP cameras can run on the same recorder. As a CCTV recorder it stores footage on a SATA hard drive. Dahua names it the 4CH Penta-brid 4K Value/5MP Compact 1U 1HDD WizSense Digital Video Recorder.

Also listed as XVR5104HS-4KL-I3(V3.0).

Who is it for?

Penta-brid flexibility suits upgrades or mixed installs: keep existing analogue cameras running while adding IP cameras on the same box, without needing a separate NVR. The compact 1U, single-bay chassis suits a small 4-camera system.

Common questions

What does Penta-brid mean?

Dahua lists support for HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS and IP video input on one recorder, so analogue and IP cameras can share it. See our guide to Dahua Penta-brid recorders.

Can I mix analogue and IP cameras?

Yes. There are 4 analogue BNC inputs, and it takes 4 IP channels by default and up to 8 when analogue channels are converted to IP. Once IP extension is enabled, EPTZ, video quality analytics, scene changing, face recognition, face detection, SMD, perimeter protection, QuickPick 2.0 and privacy protection cannot be used.

Do I need AI cameras for face recognition and SMD Plus?

No. Dahua lists these for the analogue channels by recorder, so standard analogue cameras can use them. See our WizSense guide.

What does hardware version 3.0 mean?

Dahua publishes a datasheet for this model that applies only to hardware version 3.0. The specification on this page follows that datasheet.

What resolution can it show and record?

HDMI output is up to 3840 × 2160 (4K). Analogue inputs go up to 4K depending on the camera and protocol, and each IP channel can be up to 8MP.

Does it come with a hard drive?

It has one SATA bay for a drive of up to 16 TB. Choose a drive from the Hard Drive option on this page to order this DVR with hard drive, or choose recorder only and supply your own.
