The DH-NVR5416-EI is a 16-channel, 1.5U network video recorder from Dahua’s WizSense series, built for installations that need both dense channel support and larger storage capacity. Its 4-bay design makes it a strong middle-ground option between compact 1U recorders and full rack-mounted systems.
This recorder supports IP camera resolutions up to 32 MP and reaches a maximum decoding capability of 32 channels at 1080p@30fps, or 16 channels at 4MP@30fps. Bandwidth is rated at 384 Mbps for incoming, recording, and outgoing streams, scaling down to 200 Mbps when AI functions are active.
On the AI side, the DH-NVR5416-EI delivers 2-channel face detection and recognition, 4-channel perimeter protection, and 8-channel SMD Plus filtering onboard, supporting up to 20 face databases with 20,000 images. Paired with compatible Dahua cameras, it extends further into ANPR, video metadata, stereo analysis, heat mapping, PPE detection, and smart sound detection across all 16 channels, with AcuPick smart search also supported on every channel.
A key advantage of this model is its dual video output configuration, featuring two independent HDMI and two VGA ports, with support for both heterogeneous and simultaneous display setups. This makes it well suited for control rooms or sites that need multiple live monitoring displays running different content.
Storage is handled through four SATA bays, each supporting up to 20 TB, along with an eSATA port for external expansion, N+M clustering, and iSCSI support. The recorder also supports network modes including link aggregation and load balancing, giving IT teams more control over network reliability and redundancy.
Built on an industrial-grade processor with embedded Linux, the DH-NVR5416-EI supports ONVIF, CGI, and SDK integration, along with third-party camera compatibility from brands like Axis, Sony, Panasonic, and Hanwha.
For mid-to-large installations that need 16-channel coverage, dual-display flexibility, and expandable storage, the DH-NVR5416-EI delivers a well-rounded, dependable solution.
