Dahua DHI-NVR5416-EI2 — 16-Channel 1.5U 4-Bay Network Video Recorder
The DHI-NVR5416-EI2 is the non-PoE version of Dahua's mid-tier 16-channel recorder — 4 SATA HDD bays (up to 26TB each), IP camera resolutions up to 32MP, 8K HDMI output, and dual network ports for multi-address, load-balance and fault-tolerant network modes.
Who is it for?
Where cameras are already powered by an existing PoE switch or run over long distances via a separate network, this variant gives the same 4-bay storage, 32MP support and AI feature set (video metadata, AcuPick, face detection) as the 16HP-EI2 without paying for built-in PoE you won't use.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose this over the 16HP-EI2 PoE version?
Same 4-bay, 32MP, AI feature set — this variant has no built-in PoE, so it suits sites already running cameras through a separate switch or longer cable runs.
What do the dual network ports do?
They support multi-address, load balancing, fault tolerance and link aggregation for more resilient network connectivity.
Do I need AI-enabled cameras for face detection or metadata?
No — these run on the recorder itself.
