Dahua DHI-NVR616H-128-XI — 128-Channel 3U Flagship WizMind Network Video Recorder
The DHI-NVR616H-128-XI is the largest recorder in Dahua's WizMind range — 128 channels, 16 hot-swappable SATA HDD bays (up to 20TB each) with N+M cluster failover, RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and iSCSI support, IP camera resolutions up to 32MP, and the same rich on-recorder AI (face recognition, video metadata, AcuPick smart search) as the 64-channel 608H-64-XI.
Who is it for?
This is a large-scale enterprise recorder for sites needing very high camera counts from a single unit — major campuses, large retail estates, city-scale or transport monitoring — where storage redundancy and investigative AI search matter as much as raw channel count.

Frequently asked questions
How does this differ from the 64-channel NVR608H-64-XI?
Double the channel count (128 vs 64) and double the HDD bays (16 vs 8) in a larger 3U chassis — same AI feature set and bandwidth ceiling otherwise.
Does it need built-in PoE?
No — this model has no built-in PoE, cameras connect via a separate PoE switch.
What is N+M cluster support?
It lets multiple recorders back each other up so a single unit failure doesn't stop recording — built for high-availability deployments at this scale.
