The NVR has 1 SATA hard drive bay and supports up to a 20TB HDD, with Dahua noting that maximum HDD capacity can vary depending on environmental temperature.

Recording time depends on:

Number of cameras
Camera resolution
Frame rate
Bitrate
Compression format
Continuous recording vs motion/event recording
Hard drive size
Scene complexity

For CCTV use, a surveillance-grade hard drive such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk is recommended.

Remote Viewing

The NVR supports mobile access on iOS and Android, allowing users to view live cameras and playback footage remotely when the recorder is connected to the internet and configured correctly.

This makes it suitable for home owners, business owners and managers who want to check their site while away.

Compatibility

The NVR is designed primarily for Dahua IP cameras and works best within the Dahua ecosystem. Dahua also lists third-party camera access support for brands including Panasonic, Sony, Hanwha, Axis, Pelco, Arecont, ONVIF and Canon, along with ONVIF 23.12 Profile T, Profile S and Profile G support.

For the most reliable plug-and-play setup and full AI functionality, Dahua cameras are recommended.

PoE Power

This model has 8 x 10/100Mbps PoE ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at. Dahua lists total maximum PoE output power as 78W, with a maximum of 25.5W per single port.

This is suitable for many standard fixed turret, dome and bullet cameras. For higher-power devices such as some PTZ cameras, check the camera’s power requirement before connecting directly to the NVR.
