Before you choose a recorder

Three checks that prevent costly surprises.

Count cameras, then allow for growth

16, 32 or 64 channels describe the maximum camera connections. Choose capacity for the cameras you need now and the additions you expect.

Check how cameras receive power

Built-in PoE ports connect and power supported cameras. Models without PoE need separate switches or another compatible power source.

Size storage for your recording needs

Resolution, bitrate, recording schedule and retention days affect storage. Drive bays do not mean hard drives are included. Check the selected configuration.

Use the storage calculator

Keeping existing Dahua IP cameras?

Selected Premium NDAA recorders support Dahua camera protocols. Send NSI your camera models before choosing a recorder so we can review compatibility, audio, events and analytics. Features depend on the cameras, firmware and configuration.
