XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T is a 16-channel Penta-brid WizSense digital video recorder built for medium to large surveillance systems that need dual-drive storage and advanced AI detection. Made by Dahua, this recorder is part of the XVR5000-5M-I3 series and is well suited for larger commercial properties and businesses that need extensive coverage with sharper detection accuracy.
At the core of XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T is its Penta-brid design, supporting HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS, and IP video inputs. The recorder supports up to 5MP HDCVI camera and 6MP IP camera input, with encoding capability up to 5M-N at 12fps or 1080p at 15fps for its 16 analog channels.
Channel capacity is where XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T truly stands out. With 16 analog video input channels, plus up to 24 IP camera channels at up to 6MP each and a maximum 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth, this recorder handles substantial hybrid camera deployments across larger properties.
Smart detection is another genuine strength. XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T supports up to 16 channels of SMD Plus for analog channels, along with up to 4 channels of Perimeter Protection, which automatically filters out false alarms caused by animals, rustling leaves, bright lights, and other non-concerned targets.
Facial recognition takes this recorder a step further. XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T offers up to 2 channels of human face recognition, extracting facial features from captured faces and comparing them against a database to recognize identity with genuine accuracy.
Storage capacity is a major highlight too. XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T includes 2 HDD bays, each supporting up to 16TB of storage capacity, giving users substantial recording space for continuous surveillance across all sixteen channels without frequent footage management.
Compression efficiency is built directly into the system. XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T uses H.265+/H.265 dual-stream video compression along with full-channel AI Coding, improving encoding efficiency and significantly reducing bandwidth and storage costs.
Business-ready features round out the package nicely. XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T includes IoT and POS functionalities, integrating point-of-sale transaction data with recorded footage for retail and commercial surveillance applications.
Whether securing a large business or commercial property, XVR5216AN-5M-I3/T delivers dependable
