The Dahua NVR5232-EI is a network video recorder for connecting up to 32 IP cameras and managing recordings. It supports both recorder-based and camera-based AI, with channel limits that vary by analytical function and processing method.

Analytics and recording review

  • Perimeter protection: recorder-based AI supports 4 channels with 10 IVS rules per channel.
  • SMD Plus: secondary human and motor vehicle filtering on 8 channels reduces false alarms caused by leaves, rain and lighting changes.
  • Face analysis: face detection, recognition and face image databases are supported.
  • Playback: review up to 16 channels, with event, tag and smart playback for face and motion detection.

Display and integration

HDMI and VGA can output different video sources, and 4K display is supported. ONVIF and listed third-party camera support help assess integration with an existing system. Operation is available through a web interface or local GUI.

Bandwidth, storage and installation

Incoming, recording and outgoing bandwidth are each 384 Mbps with AI disabled, or 200 Mbps with AI enabled. There are 2 SATA ports with stated HDD support up to 16 TB; maximum HDD capacity varies with ambient temperature. The recorder supports rack or desktop installation and requires 12 V DC, 4 A power.

Are all AI features available across all 32 channels?

No. Channel capacity depends on the function and processing method. For example, recorder-based perimeter protection supports 4 channels and recorder-based SMD Plus supports 8. Some analytics are provided by the cameras.

Does enabling AI affect performance?

Yes. Incoming, recording and outgoing bandwidth each change from 384 Mbps to 200 Mbps. Decoding capacity also changes: for example, 1080p at 30 fps is supported on 32 channels with AI disabled or 24 channels with AI enabled.
