Dahua DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3 - 8 Channel Penta-brid 4K-N/5MP DVR

Dahua DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3 — 8-Channel Penta-brid Digital Video Recorder

The Dahua DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3 is an 8-channel WizSense Penta-brid digital video recorder (DVR), supporting HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS analogue cameras alongside IP cameras on the same recorder. It records at up to 4K@15fps or 5MP@25fps on the analogue channels and can take a further 16 IP camera inputs (up to 8MP), giving a hybrid analogue/IP system on one box.

Who is it for?

DVR/XVR recorders like this accept HD-over-coax (HDCVI/AHD/TVI), older analogue (CVBS) AND IP cameras on the same box — ideal for upgrading an existing coax-cabled system camera by camera without a full re-cable. With 8 analogue channels plus 16 further IP channels, the DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3 suits a small-to-medium site — such as a shop, office or home — that already has coax cabling in place but wants to add IP cameras over time, or mix camera types on one recorder.

Key specification

What you will need

• A hard drive for the single HDD bay (up to 16TB supported) if one is not already fitted
• RG59 coax cable and a local 12V power supply for each standard analogue camera — the recorder does not power analogue cameras itself; if you use PoC-compatible cameras, power is carried over the same coax lead
• A PoE switch or separate power supply for any IP cameras used on the 16 IP channels — these are not powered by the recorder either
• An HDMI or VGA monitor to view the local display and set up the recorder

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix HDCVI, AHD, TVI and IP cameras on this recorder?

Yes. The DH-XVR5108HS-4KL-I3 is a Penta-brid recorder, meaning each of its 8 analogue inputs auto-detects HDCVI, AHD, TVI or CVBS cameras, and a further 16 channels are available for IP cameras — so you can run a mixed system from one box.

Is there a monthly fee or subscription?

No. There is no monthly fee to record, view or export footage from this recorder — it is a one-off purchase.

Can I add IP cameras later?

Yes. The recorder supports up to 16 IP camera channels in addition to its 8 analogue inputs, so you can start with your existing coax cameras and add IP cameras to the same recorder as your system grows.

Does the recorder power the cameras?

Only if you use PoC-compatible analogue cameras, which draw power over the same coax cable as the video signal. Standard analogue cameras need their own 12V power supply, and IP cameras need PoE or a separate power source.
