Common questions
How many cameras does the DHI-NVR616H-128-XI support?
It has 128 channels of IP camera access, with camera resolutions up to 32MP. Maximum incoming bandwidth is 1280 Mbps with AI disabled and 640 Mbps with AI enabled.
How many hard drives can it hold?
16 SATA hard drives, each up to 20TB (Dahua says the limit varies with ambient temperature). It supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10, and the drawer-like chassis allows hot swapping.
What does WizMind mean?
WizMind is the Dahua range this recorder belongs to. Dahua describes it as project-oriented products using deep learning algorithms. See our WizMind guide for what it means when choosing cameras and recorders.
Which AI functions run on the recorder itself?
AI by recorder covers 8-channel face detection and recognition, 8-channel video metadata, 32-channel perimeter protection and 32-channel SMD Plus. Heat map and people counting are done by the camera (AI by camera), so they need compatible cameras. Dahua's datasheet also lists ANPR, with 64 channels by camera.
Does it have built-in PoE?
Dahua's datasheet lists no PoE ports. Connect your IP cameras through a PoE switch on the same network.
What can I connect a monitor to?
It has 4 HDMI and 2 VGA outputs. HDMI3 goes up to 8K (7680 × 4320), HDMI1 and HDMI2 up to 4K (3840 × 2160), and HDMI4 and the VGA outputs up to 1080p.
Can it be rack mounted?
Dahua lists the installation as rack or desktop, and the model is a 3U unit.
