The DHI-NVR5864-EI is a 64-channel, 2U network video recorder from Dahua’s WizSense series, built for large-scale enterprise deployments that demand both maximum channel capacity and robust, RAID-protected storage. It’s designed for organizations running extensive camera networks where reliability and scale are equally critical.
This recorder supports IP camera resolutions up to 32 MP and delivers a maximum decoding capability of 32 channels at 1080p@30fps, or 32 channels at 2MP@30fps. Bandwidth reaches 384 Mbps for incoming, recording, and outgoing streams, scaling down to 200 Mbps when AI processing is active.
On the AI side, the DHI-NVR5864-EI handles 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. AcuPick smart search extends across up to 32 channels, giving operators fast, attribute-based footage retrieval at scale. Paired with compatible Dahua cameras, it also unlocks ANPR, video metadata, stereo analysis, heat mapping, and people counting.
What sets this model apart is its storage architecture. With eight SATA bays supporting up to 20 TB each, plus RAID 0/1/5/6/10 support, disk grouping, N+M clustering, and iSCSI compatibility, it’s engineered for organizations that can’t afford data loss on high-volume, mission-critical recording. An eSATA port adds further expansion for external storage.
Video output includes dual HDMI and dual VGA ports with flexible heterogeneous and simultaneous display configurations, plus multi-screen layouts reaching all the way up to 64 channels on the main display, making it ideal for large-scale control room environments. The recorder also supports advanced network modes including link aggregation, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
Running on an industrial-grade processor with embedded Linux, the DHI-NVR5864-EI supports ONVIF, CGI, and SDK integration alongside third-party camera compatibility from brands like Axis, Sony, Panasonic, and Hanwha.
For enterprise-scale deployments that need maximum channel count, RAID-protected redundant storage, and full-scale AI-driven search, the DHI-NVR5864-EI is one of Dahua’s most capable WizSense recorders.
