Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 32-channel Dahua WizSense NVR with 16 PoE ports, 8 HDD bays, 384Mbps bandwidth, AI analytics and RAID storage support.
- Choose the non-PoE version if: The site already uses external PoE switches or needs all camera cabling distributed through network cabinets.
- Choose a smaller NVR if: The system only needs fewer cameras, fewer HDD bays or a lower storage retention target.
- Check PoE requirements: Confirm total PoE load, camera power draw and whether any cameras require external PoE switching.
- Check storage requirements: Confirm HDD size, number of drives, RAID configuration, camera bitrates, recording schedule and retention period before installation.
