Dahua DH-XVR5108H-4KL-I3-8P - 8 Channel 4K 5MP PoC CCTV DVR

Dahua DH-XVR5108H-4KL-I3-8P — 8 Channel 4K PoC CCTV DVR

The Dahua DH-XVR5108H-4KL-I3-8P is an 8 channel Penta-brid WizSense recorder in a compact Mini 1U case with one hard drive bay. All eight analogue channels supply PoC AT and AF power to HDCVI cameras over the coax, so PoC cameras need no separate power supply at the camera.

Its BNC inputs auto-detect HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS, and up to 16 IP cameras of up to 8MP can be added (8 by default plus 8 converted analogue channels). The first channel records up to 4K at 15fps or 5MP at 25fps, with the others at lower frame rates, and HDMI output reaches 3840 x 2160.

AI on the recorder includes 8-channel SMD Plus, 8-channel perimeter protection, 2-channel face recognition and 2-channel QuickPick 2.0. The SATA bay takes a disk up to 16TB. It is powered by a 53V DC (1.812A) supply, and Dahua lists ONVIF 24.06 (Profile T, S and G) for IP cameras.

Also listed as XVR5108H-4KL-I3-8P.

Key features

• Penta-brid: HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS and IP video input on one recorder.

• QuickPick 2.0 (2 channels), EPTZ (1 channel) and privacy protection (1 channel).
• Up to 16 IP channels, each up to 8MP, with 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth.

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.

What is PoC?

PoC (power over coax) sends power and video down the same coax cable to compatible HDCVI cameras. Dahua lists support for PoC AT and PoC AF cameras on all channels.

Can I add IP cameras?

Yes. It takes 8 IP channels by default and up to 16 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 SMD Plus and perimeter protection?

No. Dahua lists SMD Plus and perimeter protection for the analogue channels by recorder, so standard analogue cameras can use them. See our WizSense guide.

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.

Can it record sound from the cameras?

Yes. Dahua lists 8 BNC coaxial audio inputs plus one RCA audio input, and one RCA audio output. Two-way talk shares the audio input of the first channel.

Can I view it on my phone?

Dahua lists mobile phone access for iOS and Android, and P2P is among its network protocols, so the recorder can be viewed remotely from a phone app.

Does it support third-party cameras?

Dahua lists third-party camera access for Panasonic, Sony, Hanwha, Axis, Arecont and ONVIF devices, with ONVIF 24.06 (Profile T, S and G).
