Product Description
This is a 4-channel recorder: it takes in feeds from up to four CCTV cameras and stores the footage on a hard drive fitted inside the box, ready to plug in and go.
The Dahua XVR5104HS-I3 is a WizSense model, meaning it includes Dahua's onboard AI analytics for smarter detection rather than relying purely on basic motion sensing. It's described as 4K capable, so it can handle high-resolution camera input rather than downscaling everything to standard definition.
"Penta-brid" is Dahua's term for a DVR that accepts five different camera signal types (HD analogue formats plus IP cameras), which matters if you're mixing older analogue cameras with newer network ones on the same system, or want that flexibility for future upgrades.
What's included
- 4-channel DVR unit (Dahua WizSense XVR5104HS-I3)
- 1TB hard drive pre-installed — no need to source and fit your own drive before recording
Before you buy
- Confirm your cameras' connection type matches what this Penta-brid unit supports, especially if you're combining analogue and IP cameras.
- A 1TB drive gives you a fixed amount of recording time; how many days of footage that covers depends on how many channels are recording, at what resolution, and continuously versus motion-only — worth thinking through before installation.
