Dahua 16 Channel 4K-N 5MP DVR 1U 2HDD WizSense XVR5216AN

The 4KL variant of the XVR5216AN-I3 upgrades the recording resolution from 5M-N/1080P to 4K-N (approximately 5MP), making it the correct specification for installations using 4K-N or full 5MP cameras where the recorder should match the camera’s resolution capability.

At 16 channels with 4K-N recording and WizSense AI, this DVR provides both maximum resolution and AI analytics for a large analogue CCTV system. For installations where the camera specification has been upgraded to 4K-N but the DVR is still recording at 1080P, the image quality is limited by the recorder; replacing or specifying the 4KL model ensures the full camera resolution is captured.

The dual HDD bays on the 4K-N model carry the same storage advantage as the 5M-N variant: a 16-camera system recording at 4K-N generates a higher data rate than 1080P, making the dual HDD capacity even more significant for achieving adequate storage retention periods. The installer can install two large-capacity drives as a single expanded volume or as a RAID 1 redundant pair.

This DVR has no PoC: cameras are powered from a conventional multi-channel PSU. The distinction from the PoC variant (XVR5216AN-I3-16P from batch 5) is the recording resolution: the PoC model records at 1080P with PoC, while this model records at 4K-N without PoC.

For CCTV installers completing 16-camera high-resolution 4K-N analogue systems across London and the UK where maximum resolution and dual HDD storage are specified without PoC, the XVR5216AN-4KL-I3 provides the correct recorder specification.
