Dahua XVR1B04-I 4CH Penta-brid WizSense Digital Video Recorder

The Dahua XVR1B04-I is a 4-channel Penta-brid WizSense Digital Video Recorder designed for CCTV surveillance systems that require flexible camera compatibility, reliable recording and intelligent monitoring features. The recorder supports multiple video technologies, including HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS, while also providing IP camera support. This makes it suitable for both new CCTV installations and upgrading existing analog surveillance systems.

4-Channel CCTV Recording

The Dahua XVR1B04-I provides four analog camera inputs through BNC ports. It supports HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS camera technologies with automatic detection. The recorder provides up to 1080N/720P encoding capability, making it suitable for standard CCTV surveillance applications where dependable video recording is required.

The Penta-brid design provides flexibility for users who may have different types of CCTV cameras in the same surveillance system. Instead of requiring a separate recorder for every camera technology, compatible cameras can be managed through the same XVR.

WizSense Intelligent Detection

A major feature of the Dahua XVR1B04-I is its WizSense intelligent surveillance functionality. The recorder provides 4-channel SMD Plus, which uses secondary filtering for human and vehicle targets. This can help reduce false alarms caused by common environmental factors such as leaves, rain and lighting changes.

The SMD Plus function also supports target classification, helping users search surveillance footage according to human and vehicle activity. This can make reviewing recorded footage more efficient when a large amount of video has been recorded.

Supports HDCVI, AHD, TVI, CVBS and IP Cameras

The Dahua XVR1B04-I is designed as a flexible hybrid surveillance recorder. It supports HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS analog video inputs and can also accommodate IP cameras. Dahua specifies support for up to 5 IP camera inputs, with each IP channel supporting up to 2MP.

This makes the XVR useful for customers who want to maintain existing coaxial CCTV cameras while adding network cameras to their surveillance system.

AI Coding and Efficient Storage

The recorder supports 4-channel AI Coding. Dahua describes AI Coding as a feature designed to save storage and bandwidth while maintaining important details in recorded video. It also supports Smart H.265+ and H.265 dual-stream video compression.

Efficient video compression can be particularly useful for CCTV installations where continuous recording produces large amounts of video data.

One HDD Storage Bay

The Dahua XVR1B04-I includes one HDD bay and supports storage capacity of up to 6TB for the supported HDD configuration. This allows users to select storage according to their camera setup, recording mode and required video retention period.

For a 4-channel CCTV system, the single-drive design provides a practical storage solution while keeping the recorder compact.

IP Camera Support

In addition to its four analog camera inputs, the recorder supports up to five IP camera inputs. Dahua specifies up to 20 Mbps incoming bandwidth, with IP camera channels supporting up to 2MP.

This IP compatibility provides additional flexibility for surveillance installations that combine traditional CCTV cameras with network-based cameras.

Suitable for Different Security Applications

The Dahua XVR1B04-I can be used for a range of CCTV applications, including:

• Homes and residential properties
• Shops and retail stores
• Offices
• Small businesses
• Warehouses
• Commercial properties
• Entry and access monitoring
• Existing analog CCTV upgrades
• Mixed analog and IP surveillance systems

Its multi-format camera support makes it particularly useful for users who want a flexible CCTV recorder without replacing all existing cameras.
