Dahua XVR1B04H-I 4CH Penta-brid WizSense Digital Video Recorder
The Dahua XVR1B04H-I is a 4-channel Penta-brid WizSense Digital Video Recorder designed for CCTV surveillance systems that require flexible camera compatibility, intelligent detection and reliable video recording. This Cooper-I series recorder supports multiple analog camera technologies as well as IP cameras, making it suitable for both new surveillance installations and CCTV upgrades.
With support for 5MP Value/1080P recording, the Dahua XVR1B04H-I provides a flexible recording platform for homes, offices, shops, warehouses and other commercial security applications. Its Penta-brid design allows compatible HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS cameras to be connected to the recorder, while IP camera support provides additional flexibility for network-based surveillance systems.
4-Channel Penta-brid CCTV Recorder
The Dahua XVR1B04H-I features four BNC analog video inputs and supports automatic detection of HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS camera technologies. Dahua specifies camera support including 5MP, 4MP, 1080P and 720P formats depending on the camera technology and selected recording configuration.
This multi-format compatibility makes the recorder useful when upgrading an existing CCTV system. Users can continue using compatible coaxial cameras instead of replacing the entire surveillance system at once.
5MP Recording Capability
The recorder supports a maximum 5MP-N encoding capability, with different frame-rate options depending on the selected mode. Dahua specifies 5MP recording modes as well as 4MP, 1080P, 1080N and 720P recording options.
This provides flexibility when configuring recording quality according to the cameras being used, available storage and the required level of video detail.
Up to 6MP IP Camera Support
Alongside its four analog inputs, the Dahua XVR1B04H-I supports up to six IP camera inputs, with IP cameras supported up to 6MP. Dahua specifies a maximum incoming bandwidth of 32 Mbps, providing additional capacity for compatible network cameras.
The hybrid functionality makes the XVR1B04H-I suitable for surveillance installations where analog and IP cameras need to operate through the same recorder.
WizSense SMD Plus
One of the key features of the Dahua XVR1B04H-I is its WizSense intelligent detection capability. The recorder provides 4-channel SMD Plus, which performs secondary filtering for human and vehicle targets. According to Dahua, this can help reduce false alarms caused by environmental factors such as leaves, rain and changes in lighting conditions.
For CCTV users, intelligent human and vehicle filtering can make event monitoring and footage searching more efficient than relying only on basic motion detection.
AI Coding
The recorder also supports 4-channel AI Coding. Dahua describes AI Coding as a technology designed to save storage and bandwidth while maintaining important target details in video footage.
This can be useful for surveillance systems where cameras record continuously and storage requirements need to be managed efficiently.
H.265+ Video Compression
The Dahua XVR1B04H-I supports Smart H.265+ and H.265 dual-stream video compression. Efficient compression can help reduce the amount of storage and network bandwidth required for CCTV video while maintaining useful image quality.
The recorder also supports dual-stream operation, providing flexibility for different recording and network viewing requirements.
1 HDD Storage Bay
The XVR1B04H-I includes one HDD bay. Dahua’s current published specification for this model lists support for up to 16TB for the HDD capacity, depending on the applicable hardware/version and configuration.
Storage requirements will depend on factors such as the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, compression settings and recording schedule.
HDMI and VGA Output
For local CCTV monitoring, the recorder provides HDMI and VGA video outputs. Dahua specifies support for display resolutions including 1920 × 1080, 1280 × 1024 and 1280 × 720 through the relevant outputs.
This allows the XVR to be connected to a compatible monitor or display for viewing live camera feeds and recorded surveillance footage.
Flexible CCTV Applications
The Dahua XVR1B04H-I can be used in a variety of surveillance environments, including:
- Homes
- Shops and retail stores
- Offices
- Warehouses
- Small businesses
- Commercial properties
- Entry and access monitoring
- Existing analog CCTV upgrades
- Mixed analog and IP CCTV systems
Its multi-format support makes it particularly useful for customers who want to upgrade their CCTV system while maintaining compatible existing cameras.
