Dahua DH-XVR5216AN-4KL-I3(V2.0) — 16-Channel Penta-brid Digital Video Recorder
The Dahua DH-XVR5216AN-4KL-I3(V2.0) is a 16-channel Penta-brid DVR that records HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS analogue cameras alongside IP cameras, with encoding up to 4K@15fps or 5MP@25fps on the analogue channels. It also accepts up to 32 additional IP camera channels (up to 8MP), making it a flexible core recorder for sites that mix coax-cabled and network cameras.
Who is it for?
DVR/XVR recorders 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 16 analogue channels plus room for up to 32 IP channels, the XVR5216AN-4KL-I3(V2.0) suits medium to larger sites — retail units, warehouses, multi-room commercial premises — that want to keep their existing coax cabling in place while adding IP cameras where needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I mix HDCVI, AHD, TVI and IP cameras on this recorder?
Yes. As a Penta-brid recorder, the DH-XVR5216AN-4KL-I3(V2.0) auto-detects HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS analogue cameras channel by channel, and can also take up to 32 additional IP cameras on the same unit.
Is there a monthly fee to view footage remotely?
No. Once the recorder is on your network you can view live and recorded footage from Dahua's free apps and desktop software with no subscription required.
Can I add IP cameras later instead of all at once?
Yes. You can start with your existing analogue cameras on the 16 coax channels and add IP cameras to the remaining IP channels whenever you are ready, up to the 32-channel IP limit.
Does the recorder come with a hard drive?
No, HDDs are sold separately. The unit has 2 SATA bays supporting up to 16TB per drive, so capacity can be sized to how long you need to retain footage.
