Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H 4-Channel 4-PoE Compact NVR

The NVR1104HS-P-S3/H is an entry-level 4-channel Dahua recorder for homes, flats, kiosks, and small shops. Each IP camera plugs into one of its four PoE ports for power and video, so installation needs one cable per camera and no separate switch.

It decodes four 1080p channels at 30 fps for smooth live view, and Smart H.265+ compression reduces storage and bandwidth. One SATA bay takes a drive of up to 8 TB.

It works with Dahua cameras and other brands using ONVIF or RTSP, and supports motion detection, privacy masking, and IPC alarms. The newer Dahua 4.0 interface makes playback and setup straightforward, and P2P lets you view cameras on the DMSS app without a fixed IP address.

We size the hard drives to how many days of recording you need to keep, and connect the recorder to a UPS or inverter so it keeps recording through power cuts.
