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 6TB 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 Dahua XVR5104HS-I3 is a 4-channel DVR that arrives with a 6TB hard drive already fitted, so there's no separate storage purchase to sort out before install.
What it is
This is a Dahua WizSense recorder — Dahua's AI-assisted recording platform — described as a "4K AI Penta-brid" unit. Penta-brid means it accepts multiple camera signal types on the same recorder rather than locking you into one.
Who it suits
Four channels means four cameras, full stop — so this fits smaller jobs cleanly: a shop front and stockroom, a small office, a house with front and rear coverage, or a single warehouse bay entrance. If you're counting more than four cameras for the site, this isn't the right starting point — you'd want a Dahua recorder with more channels rather than running two boxes side by side.

Before you buy
Check your camera count against the 4-channel limit first — it's the single thing that decides whether this unit fits your job or you need a higher-channel Dahua recorder instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can I connect?
Up to four — this is a 4-channel DVR, so it won't stretch beyond four connected cameras.
Do I need to buy a hard drive separately?
No — a 6TB hard drive comes pre-installed, ready to record without sourcing storage yourself.
What does Penta-brid mean?
It means the recorder supports multiple camera signal types on one unit, giving you flexibility in what you connect.
What if I need more than 4 cameras?
This unit isn't the right fit — look at a higher-channel Dahua WizSense recorder instead of running two DVRs.
