Dahua DHI-NVR608H-32-XI — 32-Channel Network Video Recorder
The Dahua DHI-NVR608H-32-XI is a high-capacity 32-channel network video recorder built for large, multi-camera installations. It supports IP cameras up to 32 megapixels and can decode up to 40 channels at 1080p@30fps, while eight hot-swappable HDD bays (each up to 20TB) give it the storage headroom for long recording retention across a big site.
Who is it for?
This NVR suits larger sites running dozens of cameras from a single recorder — retail chains, warehouses, business parks and multi-building premises — particularly where on-recorder AI analytics (face recognition, perimeter protection, metadata search) and RAID-protected storage are wanted without relying on a separate NVR appliance per building.

What you will need
- Hard drives are not included — fit up to 8 x 3.5" HDDs (each up to 20TB) to suit your required recording retention.
- This model's specification sheet does not list built-in PoE ports, so you will likely need a separate PoE switch to power and connect your IP cameras over the network.
- A monitor with HDMI or VGA input is needed for local live view, playback and setup at the recorder itself.
