Description
Old Model: DHI-NVR5208-8P-4KS2E
New Model: DHI-NVR4208-8P-AI/ANZ
Launched by Dahua Technology, WizSense is a series of AI products and solutions that adopt independent AI chips and deep learning algorithms. It focuses on humans and vehicles with high accuracy, enabling users to fast act on defined targets. Based on Dahua's advanced technologies, WizSense provides intelligent, simple and inclusive products and solutions.
SMD With intelligent algorithm, Dahua Smart Motion Detection technology can categorize the targets that trigger motion detection and filter the motion detection alarm triggered by non-concerned targets to realize effective and accurate alarm.
WizSense Series - Engineered to provide smart, simple and affordable security. WizSense series cameras support an independent AI chip with a deep learning algorithm to provide a more intelligent and simple security solution focused on human and vehicle detection. This helps filter out false alerts triggered by bugs, changes in light, leaves, trees and animals.
Supports Smart Motion Detection Plus (SMD+) dramatically reduces false alarms in motion detection by only detecting humans and vehicles, greatly reducing false alerts triggered by bugs, changes in light, leaves, trees and animals. Target is tracked and triggers real-time alerts to a smart device through the iOS/Android app.
Through advanced video algorithms, Dahua's Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) technology supports smart functions such as Tripwire and Intrusion Detection.
Starlight technology generates clear images in near-complete darkness. A high-performing sensor and special algorithms work together to capture images in low-light and no-light environments.
The new Dahua DHI-NVR5208-8P-4KS2E Pro Series network video recorder is ideal for applications requiring high-resolution recording and high performance. As well as 4K image processing, the NVR supports edge storage, central storage or backup storage with an intuitive shortcut operation menu for remote management and control.
The NVR supports Smart Motion Detection with a deep learning algorithm allowing human and vehicle identification with compatible cameras. It also supports advanced intelligent detection technology such as detecting abandoned or missing objects, Tripwire violations and intrusion violations. The NVR is also capable of recording business analysis data such as Facial Detection, People Counting, and Heat maps from IP cameras with built-in Intelligent Business Analytics.
For applications where high image detail is required, the DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2/L delivers the capability of 8MP or 4K resolution processing. It supports smart encoding (Smart H.265+/ Smart H.264+) which is an optimised implementation of (H.265/H.264) codec that uses a scene-adaptive encoding strategy, providing more efficiency in the encoding process and higher video quality, reducing the cost of storage and transmission significantly.
The NVR supports P2P remote surveillance for Live camera viewing and playback on mobile devices with the free app for ios and android called iDMSS (for iOS) and gDMSS (for Android).
The NVR is ideal for a wide range of applications from public safety, water conservancy, transportation and city centres, to education and financial institutions.
