Dahua DHI-NVR5232-EI 32-channel 1U 2HDD WizSense Network Video Recorder 1.0.01.23.15008
The Dahua DHI-NVR5232-EI is a 32-channel 1U WizSense Network Video Recorder designed for intelligent IP surveillance systems requiring high recording bandwidth, advanced AI analytics and flexible storage. It supports IP cameras up to 32MP, up to 384 Mbps incoming bandwidth and two SATA hard drives, while built-in AI provides face detection and recognition, perimeter protection and SMD Plus. AcuPick, camera-side ANPR and extensive third-party camera compatibility make it suitable for demanding commercial and enterprise surveillance deployments.
Key Features
- 32-channel IP recording: Connects and records up to 32 compatible IP cameras with resolutions reaching 32MP.
- High-bandwidth architecture: Supports up to 384 Mbps incoming, 384 Mbps recording and 384 Mbps outgoing bandwidth when recorder AI is disabled.
- Powerful decoding: Decodes up to 32 × 1080p@30fps streams simultaneously, with support for higher-resolution streams including 32MP cameras.
- Built-in WizSense AI: Recorder-side intelligence supports face detection and recognition, 4-channel perimeter protection and 8-channel SMD Plus.
- AcuPick intelligent search: Supports AcuPick on up to 32 channels to help quickly locate relevant human and vehicle targets in recorded video.
- Dual HDD storage: Two SATA interfaces support hard drives of up to 20TB each under specified operating conditions.
- 4K HDMI output: HDMI supports display resolutions up to 3840 × 2160, complemented by an independent VGA output.
WizSense AI Analytics
The DHI-NVR5232-EI incorporates Dahua WizSense technology with an integrated AI chip and deep-learning algorithms focused on human and vehicle targets. Recorder-side AI supports 2-channel face detection, face recognition, 4-channel perimeter protection and 8-channel SMD Plus, helping improve event accuracy while reducing false alarms caused by irrelevant motion.
Face Detection and Recognition
The recorder can detect, track, optimise and capture faces before comparing captured facial features against stored records. Up to 20 face databases containing a combined 20,000 images can be maintained, with a total face database capacity of 2.5GB. Supported face attributes include gender, age group, glasses, expression, face mask and beard.
AcuPick and Intelligent Search
AcuPick combines compatible front-end camera intelligence with recorder-side processing to improve searches through large volumes of recorded surveillance footage. The DHI-NVR5232-EI supports AcuPick on up to 32 channels, allowing operators to locate relevant targets more efficiently.
Flexible Dual-HDD Storage
Two SATA interfaces provide flexible local recording storage, with each drive bay supporting a hard disk of up to 20TB under Dahua's specified conditions. Recording options include general, motion detection, intelligent event, alarm and POS modes, while recorded footage can be backed up through USB devices or the network.
