§ 01Overview
What the DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ is
The Dahua DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ is a small four-channel WizSense recorder for a starter home or shop system.
Its four PoE ports power and connect up to four IP cameras over a single network cable each, so it runs as a self-contained unit without a separate switch, and it records cameras up to 16MP.
Despite its size it carries the same recorder-side AI as its larger siblings: SMD Plus to separate people and vehicles from other movement, one channel of face detection and recognition, two channels of perimeter protection, and Quick Pick to jump straight to matching people or vehicles in the footage.
It outputs 4K over HDMI with a 1080p VGA feed and uses Smart H.265+ to keep storage and bandwidth down.
It has a single SATA bay (up to 16TB) and is supplied without a hard drive, so add a surveillance drive to record.
The four PoE ports share a 36 W budget (25.5 W per port), which suits a set of typical Dahua cameras.
It is genuine Australian Dahua stock with local warranty and support, viewed remotely on the free DMSS app.

Smarket is a very professional CCTV installation company. Their customer service team replies really quickly and is always patient, friendly, and helpful when answering questions.
The electrician who installed the cameras was also very professional and efficient. The whole installation process went smoothly, and the camera positions and angles were set up perfectly.
Communication was easy and clear from start to finish, which made the whole experience stress-free and reassuring. Very happy with the result and would definitely recommend this company!
