What's Included

Dahua NVR units from SMarket include:

Network Video Recorder unit with PoE ports (4/8/16/32 channels)

Power supply and adaptor

USB mouse for local control

SATA cables for HDD installation

Quick start guide

3-year Australian manufacturer warranty

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

Configurations

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.

Comparison Guide

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.

Why Choose

Australian-Specific Models

All Dahua NVR units compliance with Australian electrical standards and local firmware optimisation. These models include region-specific features and receive priority firmware updates from Dahua Oceania.

Competitive Dahua NVR Price

Our Dahua NVR price includes GST with no hidden import fees. Free shipping on orders over $300 to all addresses.

Professional-Grade AI Without the Premium

Dahua's WizSense technology brings enterprise-level analytics to residential and SMB installations:

SMD Plus: Filters false alarms from rain, insects, and shadows

Perimeter Protection: Tripwire and intrusion zones with instant mobile alerts

Quick Pick: Search recorded footage by human/vehicle attributes

Face Detection: VIP recognition and stranger alerts for access control

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hard drive size do I need for my Dahua NVR?

Storage requirements depend on camera resolution, frame rate, and retention period. As a general guide: 8 cameras at 1080p recording 24/7 with H.265 compression use approximately 8TB for 30 days. For 4K cameras, double that estimate. We recommend starting with a 4TB drive for small systems and scaling up. Use surveillance-rated drives (WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk) designed for constant write operations.

Can I use cameras from other brands with a Dahua NVR?

Yes, Dahua NVRs support ONVIF and RTSP protocols for third-party camera compatibility. However, AI features like SMD Plus and perimeter protection require Dahua cameras. For the most reliable performance and full feature access, we recommend pairing Dahua NVRs exclusively with Dahua cameras.

What is the difference between H.264 and H.265 compression?

H.265 (HEVC) compresses video approximately 50% more efficiently than H.264 while maintaining equivalent quality. This means you can store twice as much footage on the same hard drive or use half the network bandwidth for remote viewing. All current Dahua NVRs support H.265+ smart compression, which further reduces storage by dynamically adjusting bitrate based on scene complexity.

How do I access my Dahua NVR remotely?

Download the free DMSS app from the App Store or Google Play. Connect your NVR to your router via Ethernet, enable P2P in Network settings, then scan the QR code displayed on-screen to add the device to your app. For enhanced security, we recommend disabling P2P and configuring VPN access through your router instead.

What does PoE mean and why is it important?

PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivers electrical power alongside data through a single network cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies at each camera location, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. PoE NVRs include built-in switches that power cameras directly. For larger installations or cameras located far from the NVR, you can add external PoE switches.

Do Dahua NVRs work during internet outages?

Yes. Recording and local viewing continue normally without internet connectivity. The NVR records footage to its internal hard drive regardless of internet status. You will temporarily lose remote mobile access during outages. Additionally, Dahua cameras with SD card slots support ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment), which records locally on the camera if the NVR connection drops, then backfills missing footage when reconnected.

How many days of footage can I store?

Storage duration varies by configuration. Example calculation: 4 cameras × 4K resolution × 6Mbps bitrate × 24 hours = approximately 260GB per day. A 4TB drive stores roughly 15 days; an 8TB drive stores 30 days. Factors reducing storage time: higher resolution, more cameras, higher frame rates. Factors extending storage time: H.265+ compression, motion-only recording, lower frame rates at night.

What is WizSense AI and do I need it?

WizSense is Dahua's AI technology suite that uses deep learning to detect humans and vehicles while filtering false triggers from animals, vehicles headlights, and environmental movement. If your cameras cover outdoor areas where trees move, pets roam, or headlights sweep across the scene, WizSense dramatically reduces nuisance alerts. For indoor-only installations in controlled environments, standard motion detection may suffice.

Can I expand my system later?

Yes. Select an NVR with more channels than your initial camera count. An 8-channel NVR allows starting with 4 cameras and adding 4 more later. For storage expansion, choose models with 2+ HDD bays. You can add a second hard drive without replacing the existing one. Some Pro series NVRs support external eSATA storage for additional capacity.

What warranty and support is available?

All Dahua NVRs from SMarket include a 3-year Australian manufacturer warranty. Technical support is available through Dahua Oceania. For installation assistance, we recommend engaging a licensed security installer. Firmware updates are released regularly and can be applied through the NVR interface or web GUI.
