Dahua NVR4104HS-P-EI 4 Channel Compact 1U 4PoE WizSense NVR for IP Cameras

The NVR4104HS-P-EI is Dahua’s compact 4-channel NVR for small IP camera installations. The four built-in PoE ports supply both power and data to each connected camera over a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable, removing the need for a separate PoE switch or camera power supply.

WizSense AI analytics provides human and vehicle classification for smart motion detection on all four channels, reducing false alarm activations from irrelevant motion (animals, weather, vegetation) while ensuring genuine events are detected and recorded. Smart search allows retrieval of human or vehicle events from the recording without reviewing all motion events.

One internal HDD bay accepts a 3.5-inch SATA surveillance drive (sold separately) for local recording storage. The compact 1U chassis is appropriate for small enclosures, shallow cabinets, and shelf mounting in residential and small commercial installations.

The 4-channel capacity positions this NVR at the entry level of IP camera systems: it is the correct specification for small residential and small commercial installations with exactly 4 cameras, where the compact footprint, integrated PoE, and WizSense analytics provide the right feature set without the cost of a larger recorder.

The distinction from the 16-channel NVR5216-16P-EI (also in this batch) is the channel count and chassis format: the NVR4104HS is for small 4-camera systems; the 16-channel NVR is for larger multi-camera installations.

For Dahua IP camera system installers specifying compact 4-channel PoE NVRs for small residential and commercial installations across London and the UK, the NVR4104HS-P-EI provides the correct specification.
