Dahua DHI-NVR608H-128-XI — 128-Channel Network Video Recorder
The Dahua DHI-NVR608H-128-XI is a high-capacity 128-channel network video recorder built for large sites that need serious storage and analytics. It supports IP cameras up to 32MP, decodes up to 40 channels of 1080p footage simultaneously for live wall monitoring, and houses 8 hot-swappable HDD bays with full RAID support for resilient, enterprise-grade storage.
Who is it for?
An NVR receives and records footage from network IP cameras, giving you central storage, live viewing and playback across your whole site. With 128 channels and 8 RAID-capable drive bays, the DHI-NVR608H-128-XI is built for large commercial or multi-site installations — distribution centres, campuses, retail estates or multi-building sites — where a large number of cameras need to be recorded reliably and footage needs to survive a drive failure.

Frequently asked questions
How many cameras can I connect to the DHI-NVR608H-128-XI?
It supports up to 128 IP camera channels, with each camera able to run at resolutions up to 32MP, making it suitable for very large camera counts on one recorder.
Does it have built-in AI analytics?
Yes. It includes on-recorder face detection and recognition on 8 channels, video metadata on 8 channels, and smart motion detection plus perimeter protection on 32 channels each — no separate AI server is required for these functions.
Is there a monthly fee to use this NVR?
No. Recording, playback and the built-in analytics run entirely on the recorder and your local storage, with no subscription or monthly cloud fee required.
Will it work with cameras from other brands?
The DHI-NVR608H-128-XI supports ONVIF, so many third-party IP cameras can be added alongside Dahua cameras, though full AI features such as AcuPick tracking require compatible Dahua cameras.
