Dahua DHI-NVR5832-EI2 — 32-Channel 2U 8-Bay RAID Network Video Recorder
The DHI-NVR5832-EI2 steps up to a 2U chassis with 8 SATA HDD bays (up to 26TB each) and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10 support, alongside the same 32MP camera support, 8K HDMI output and AI feature set (video metadata, AcuPick, face detection) as the rest of the 5000 series.
Who is it for?
RAID support and 8 drive bays make this suited to sites where footage loss from a single drive failure isn't acceptable — larger commercial sites, multi-site monitoring hubs — running up to 32 cameras with real storage redundancy.
