Dahua DH-XVR7216AN-4K-I3 — 16-Channel Penta-brid Digital Video Recorder
The Dahua DH-XVR7216AN-4K-I3 is a 16-channel Penta-brid DVR capable of 4K@30fps encoding on its analogue inputs, with additional support for up to 32 IP camera channels (up to 12MP each) on the same box. Penta-brid recorders accept HD-over-coax cameras (HDCVI, AHD, TVI), older analogue (CVBS) and IP cameras all on one recorder.
Who is it for?
DVR/XVR recorders like this one 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 additional IP channels, the DH-XVR7216AN-4K-I3 suits mid-to-large sites — retail units, warehouses, multi-room commercial premises — that want to keep existing coax cameras running while adding newer IP cameras over time.

Yes. As a Penta-brid recorder, the DH-XVR7216AN-4K-I3 accepts HDCVI, AHD, TVI and older CVBS analogue cameras interchangeably across its 16 analogue channels, so you can mix camera brands and generations on the same system.

Can I add IP cameras later?
