Dahua DHI-NVR2104HS-I2 — 4-Channel Compact 1U Network Video Recorder
The DHI-NVR2104HS-I2 is the compact-chassis version of Dahua's entry-level 4-channel NVR, with a single SATA HDD bay (up to 10TB) and on-recorder AI — face detection/recognition, SMD Plus and perimeter protection — built in.
Who is it for?
An NVR receives, records and manages footage from IP cameras over a network. The smaller compact housing suits desks, small comms cabinets and tight installs where the standard-chassis DHI-NVR2104-I2 doesn't fit as neatly, while offering the same 4-channel, single-bay specification.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and the DHI-NVR2104-I2?
Same 4-channel, single-bay specification — the HS variant uses a smaller compact chassis, useful where space is tighter.
Does this NVR power my cameras?
No — it has no built-in PoE ports, so cameras need a separate PoE switch or power supply.
Do I need AI-enabled cameras for face detection?
No — face detection/recognition, SMD Plus and perimeter protection all run on the recorder itself.
