Digital Video Recorder Dahua XVR5116H-4KL-I3/T — 16-channel DVR, 4K (3840×2160), H.265/H.264, Gigabit Ethernet, 16 TB HDD

Dahua XVR5116H-4KL-I3/T is a 16-channel digital video recorder (DVR) designed for multi-camera surveillance systems. It accepts analog and IP inputs with up to 4K (3840×2160) resolution, supports H.265/H.265+/H.264/H.264+ compression and provides both Fast and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The recorder includes one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port and one USB 2.0 port and supports internal HDD storage up to 16 TB for continuous or event-based recording.

Advantages

The unit combines wide codec compatibility and high-resolution input with AI-assisted features for improved target detection and efficient storage use. Dual-stream H.265/H.265+ compression and 16-channel AI Coding reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving detail. Integration options include common network protocols for remote access and a USB 3.2 Gen1 port for fast local data transfer. The device supports both analog formats and IP cameras, providing flexible deployment options in mixed systems.

Suitable for

• Medium to large indoor and outdoor surveillance installations using mixed analog and IP cameras
• Sites requiring high-resolution recording up to 4K for detailed image capture
• Environments where AI-assisted event detection (perimeter protection, SMD Plus, face recognition) is beneficial
• Systems that need local large-capacity storage (up to 16 TB) and networked remote access

How to use

Install the recorder on a stable surface and connect cameras via appropriate inputs (HDCVI/AHD/TVI/CVBS or IP). Connect the RJ-45 LAN port to the local network for remote access and configure network settings (HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP, RTSP, DHCP or static addressing) through the DVR interface. Insert and format a compatible internal HDD up to 16 TB for recording storage. Use the on-screen menus to assign channels, set recording modes (continuous, scheduled, or event-based), and configure AI functions such as perimeter protection, SMD Plus and face recognition. Use the USB 3.2 Gen1 port for high-speed local backups when needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install compatible cameras with supported resolutions and formats, allocate sufficient storage space for desired retention time, and ensure network bandwidth is adequate for concurrent live viewing and recording. Regularly check firmware updates and perform scheduled backups using the USB 3.2 Gen1 port or network storage to preserve important footage.
