What's in the box
Here's what comes in the box and how many you get of each. Tap any part for the full spec.
Uses analogue cameras, so if you're reusing old coax, check it's in good condition and compatible first.
Recording storage
It comes with 2TB of storage. How long it records for depends on the mix of cameras, the bitrate and when it's set to record. For this kit, we can't give a reliable number of days.
Before installation
The box list shows which cables, power supplies and mounting bits come with it. Choose cable lengths and camera spots to suit your property — the number of cameras on its own doesn't tell you what they'll cover. At each spot, check how wide the lens sees, the lighting there and how well the camera's protected from the weather.

Product Description
The XVR5104HS-I3 is a 4-channel Dahua recorder that comes with a 2TB hard drive already fitted, so it's ready to record straight out of the box.
What it does
This is Dahua's WizSense platform, meaning the AI analytics processing happens on the recorder itself rather than depending purely on what the connected cameras can do. It supports 4 channels — a size that fits a small residential property or a single shop rather than a multi-building site.
Penta-brid, and why that matters
"Penta-brid" means the DVR accepts multiple analogue and IP signal types across the same channels. If you're mixing older coax cameras with newer HD units on one job, this is the kind of recorder that can bridge them — but check each camera's output type against the DVR's supported inputs before you buy, since not every combination will work on every channel.
Storage
The 2TB drive is pre-installed, so there's no separate hard drive purchase or fitting step needed before the recorder is usable. How much footage that stores in practice depends on the number of cameras, their resolution, and your recording settings.
Before you buy
- Confirm your existing or planned cameras are compatible with Penta-brid inputs
- Check 4 channels is enough for your current and near-future camera count
- Decide whether on-recorder AI analytics (WizSense) suits how you plan to use the system
