Dahua DHI-NVR4208-8P-EI — 8-Channel 1U 8PoE Dual-Bay Network Video Recorder
The DHI-NVR4208-8P-EI combines 8 channels, 8 built-in PoE ports and 2 SATA HDD bays (up to 20TB each), with on-recorder AI — face detection/recognition, SMD Plus and perimeter protection.

The dual HDD bay adds storage headroom over the single-bay DHI-NVR4108-8P-EI — useful for 8-camera sites wanting longer retention or basic redundancy without stepping up to a bigger recorder.

Frequently asked questions
Why two HDD bays?
More storage headroom for 8 cameras than a single-bay recorder — split load across two drives or use one as a mirror.
Do I need AI-enabled cameras for face detection?
No — it runs on the recorder itself.
What resolution cameras does it support?
Up to 16MP per channel.
