It has 32 audio and video access channels, so it records up to 32 IP cameras. Dahua lists support for cameras up to 32MP.
The recorder has 32 channels but 16 PoE ports (ports 1-8 support ePoE), so 16 PoE cameras connect straight to it. The other channels need cameras connected over the network, for example through a PoE switch.
The DHI-NVR5432-EI is the 32 channel 4-bay recorder without the 16 PoE ports. The 16P-EI adds them, so PoE cameras can plug straight in.
WizSense is Dahua's AI range. Dahua says it uses an independent AI chip and deep learning algorithms and focuses on human and vehicle detection. Read our WizSense guide for more.
By recorder: 2-channel face detection and recognition, 4-channel perimeter protection and 8-channel SMD Plus. Video metadata, AcuPick, ANPR, people counting, heat map and PPE detection are done by the camera, so they need compatible cameras.
It has 4 SATA ports, each taking a disk up to 20 TB, plus 1 eSATA port. Dahua also lists N+M cluster and iSCSI support.
