Use Cases

  1. School / University Campuses
    Monitoring multiple buildings or outdoor areas. 16 PoE ports let you connect cameras for lecture halls, walkways, entrances. AI helps reduce false alarms; face detection can be used for attendance or safety.

  2. Retail / Shopping Centres
    Surveillance of store fronts, parking areas, entrances. Analytics like people counting, heat maps, perimeter protection help understand customer flow and improve security.

  3. Office Complexes / Business Parks
    For monitoring entrances, car parks, internal offices. The large storage and AI analytics give automated alerts, reducing manual monitoring.

  4. Healthcare Facilities
    Where staff and visitors need controlled access and monitoring. Perimeter protection, facial recognition, and low-false alarm SMD Plus are helpful.

  5. Industrial / Warehouse Sites
    Where many entry points, loading bays, and outdoor perimeter need coverage. PoE ports simplify wiring; robust bandwidth & recording ensure nothing is missed.

  6. Small / Medium Government or Public Sector Buildings
    For council buildings, libraries, or community centres. Useful features: ANPR (if supported on the camera), face recognition for security, etc.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question Answer
How many cameras can I plug in directly? Up to 16 via its integrated PoE ports, provided those cameras are within the power budget and network capacity.
What happens to bandwidth and recording if AI is enabled on many channels? When AI analytics are active, the available bandwidth/recording capacity drops (e.g. from ~384 Mbps down to ~200 Mbps or similar), so fewer high-resolution streams can be simultaneously recorded/decoded.
What kinds of AI functions are included? Face detection & recognition, perimeter protection, SMD Plus. With compatible cameras, features like ANPR, people counting, stereo analysis, heat maps etc. are available.
Is this recorder compatible with non-Dahua cameras? Yes. It supports ONVIF and also third-party cameras from manufacturers like Axis, Sony, Panasonic, etc., though AI features may depend on camera model.
How is video backed up or exported? You can use USB ports (front/rear) and network backup; export via network or USB. Playback modes include general, event-based, and smart playback (face/motion).
What is the PoE power capacity per port / overall? Total PoE budget is around 130 W. A single port can supply up to about 25.5 W (so can power devices like motorised IR cameras, etc.), but if many high-power cameras are connected you need to manage total load.
What storage capacities are supported? Has 4 SATA HDD bays; the maximum storage depends on HDD size. For heavy use (high resolution, many cameras, long retention), large capacity drives will be needed.
What are environmental / power requirements? Operates between -10 °C and +55 °C, humidity 10–93% non-condensing. Power input is 100-240 VAC.
Which recording / alarm triggers are supported? Motion, intelligent triggers (face/perimeter/SMD), POS triggers (if applicable), alarm inputs. Also supports anomaly alarms (e.g. camera offline, storage errors, etc.).

WHAT IS QUICK PICK?

The Dahua Quick Pick technology can quickly identify human/vehicle targets of interest, which optimizes the search for relevant SMD events. With excellent integration of intelligent functions of both cameras and recorders, this feature can search human/vehicle targets based on AI algorithm that can extract and compare clothing and vehicle colors. It significantly saves labor costs and increases accuracy of results compared to manual checking of SMD events.

Available when combined with Cameras capable of Quick Pick

Quicker Search – Enhance Search Efficiency ≥ 90%

Reduction of Manual Checking

Quick Pick simplifies search steps to save time and costs. It lets you automate what was once a several-hour manual effort. Compared with other traditional search methods, there is a significant decrease in the number of video clips that you need to manually check using the Quick Pick feature.

Multiple-target Search

Quick Pick can compare one or more human/vehicle targets at the same time. The search results of Quick Pick include video clips related to all human/vehicle targets in the detection box.

Higher Accuracy – Filter Target Accuracy ≥ 90%

Filter Irrelevant Human/Vehicle Targets

Based on AI algorithm that can extract and compare colors of clothing and vehicles, the Quick Pick function can filter out irrelevant human/vehicle targets. It helps users focus on the targets of interest and find useful information with higher accuracy.

Easier Operation – Average Search Time ≤ 5s

Quick Full-channel Search

Quick Pick supports target search through full-channel SMD recordings, which provides a more comprehensive search for any possible risks and subtle problems. The default search condition is already preset to save configuration time.

One-click Search

Quick Pick provides a one-click search function to locate human/vehicle targets of interest. It has one search button on both preview and playback interface that can be used to find relevant video recordings after an event.

User-friendly and Convenient UI Design

Quick Pick presents a new search UI that is easy to use and navigate. On the same page, you can find search results on the left menu and video playback on the right side. These videos can be automatically played one by one. The search condition bar is initially hidden and the similarity can be quickly adjusted by dragging the slider in the lower left.
