Dahua DH-XVR5432L-I3 - 32 Channel Penta-brid WizSense XVR CCTV DVR

The Dahua DH-XVR5432L-I3 is a 32 channel Penta-brid recorder for larger analogue CCTV systems, such as sites with existing coax cabling. Its 32 BNC inputs auto-detect HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS cameras, and IP cameras can be added on top.

HDCVI cameras record at up to 5MP, and the recorder takes up to 48 IP channels at up to 8MP each, with 192Mbps incoming bandwidth. Four SATA bays hold up to 16TB each, and HDMI 1 outputs up to 3840 x 2160.

Recorder-side AI includes SMD Plus on 32 channels to filter alarms for humans and vehicles, perimeter protection on 8 channels and face recognition on 2 channels. It has 16 alarm inputs and 6 alarm outputs, runs from 100-240V AC and uses under 22W without hard drives.

Also listed as XVR5432L-I3.

Common questions

What does Penta-brid mean on this recorder?

It accepts HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS and IP video inputs. The 32 BNC ports auto-detect the analogue format and IP cameras can be added on top. See Dahua Penta-brid recorders explained and Dahua HDCVI explained.

How many cameras can it record?

32 analogue channels plus up to 48 IP channels (16 IP channels by default and 32 more when analogue channels are converted to IP channels). Each IP channel can be up to 8 MP. Dahua notes that once IP extension is enabled, Video Quality Analytics, Scene Changing, Face Recognition, Face Detection, SMD, Perimeter Protection and QuickPick 2.0 cannot be used.

What does WizSense mean on this recorder?

Dahua describes WizSense as a series of AI products using an independent AI chip and deep learning, focused on humans and vehicles. On this recorder SMD Plus filters motion alarms by target type. See Dahua WizSense explained.

Can face recognition run with SMD Plus?

Dahua's datasheet states that Face Recognition conflicts with SMD Plus and Perimeter Protection.

How many hard drives can it hold?

4 SATA ports, each disk up to 16 TB (the limit varies with environment temperature). Choose a surveillance hard drive from the Hard Drive option on this page to order a DVR with hard drive, or order the recorder only.

Which monitor outputs does it have?

2 HDMI, 1 VGA and 1 CVBS. HDMI 1 supports up to 3840 x 2160; VGA and HDMI 2 support up to 1920 x 1080.

Can I view the cameras on my phone?

Dahua lists P2P and mobile access on iOS and Android, so the recorder can be viewed remotely once it is online.

Does it accept third-party IP cameras?

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

Does it support audio?
