Note: Hard drives sold separately unless purchasing a bundled kit. We recommend Western Digital Purple surveillance-rated drives for 24/7 recording.

4MP (2K) Systems

Best for: Small retail shops, home offices

4MP resolution captures clear facial features at distances up to 8-10 metres. Suitable for monitoring entrances, driveways, and indoor spaces where subjects are relatively close to the camera.

6MP Systems

Best for: Medium-sized homes, small warehouses

6MP provides additional detail for identifying subjects at 10-15 metre distances. The increased resolution allows digital zoom without significant quality loss, useful for reviewing incidents after they occur.

8MP (4K Ultra HD) Systems

Best for: Large properties, car parks, commercial premises

8MP 4K resolution captures license plates and fine details at distances exceeding 20 metres. Essential for applications requiring evidence-grade footage, such as car park monitoring or perimeter security around large properties. Our 8MP Dahua NVR price starts from competitive entry points with WizSense AI included.

12MP+ Ultra Series

Best for: Wide-area coverage, critical infrastructure

Ultra-high resolution systems for specialised applications requiring extreme detail across expansive areas. Commonly deployed in mining sites, ports, and government facilities.

Channel Count: Match to your current cameras plus 2-4 spare channels for future expansion. An 8-channel NVR suits most homes; businesses typically need 16+ channels.

Recording Bandwidth: Calculate total bitrate from all cameras. A 4K camera at 6Mbps with 8 cameras requires 48Mbps minimum. Choose an NVR with bandwidth headroom (80-256Mbps).

HDD Bays: One bay (up to 10TB) provides 2-3 weeks of 8-camera 1080p footage. For 4K or longer retention, select 2-bay models supporting 20TB+.

AI Features: WizSense AI reduces false alarms by 95% by distinguishing humans and vehicles from animals and foliage. Essential for outdoor installations.

PoE Power Budget: Standard cameras require 6-12W; PTZ cameras need 25-60W. Ensure total PoE wattage covers all planned cameras.

Simplified Installation

PoE NVRs eliminate separate power supplies for cameras. Run a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable up to 100 metres from NVR to camera. Plug-and-play auto-detection means cameras appear instantly when connected—no IP configuration required for same-brand devices.

DMSS Mobile App

Monitor your property from anywhere via the free DMSS app (iOS/Android). Features include live viewing, playback, push notifications for AI events, two-way audio, and remote PTZ control. P2P connection works behind most Australian router configurations without port forwarding.
