Series Overview
Dahua Lite series NVR is easy to install, cost-effective and compatible with a wide variety of third-party devices, providing a great solution for small and medium surveillance systems. It is ideal for home safety, supermarkets, warehouses, educational institutions, and financial institutions.
Functions
- Face Recognition
Dahua Face Recognition technology extracts the features of captured faces and compares them with that in face database. - Perimeter Protection
Automatically filters out false alarms caused by animals, rustling leaves, bright lights, etc. Enables system to act secondary recognition for the targets. Improves alarm accuracy. - SMD Plus
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. - AI Search
With AI search, operators can search for videos by the attributes of targets and event types, which helps them to quickly and efficiently investigate where and when targets appeared and events took place.
Heat Map by Camera
Dahua heat map technology is used to display the crowd density andpeople appearance probability. Export and display the crowd status by different colors. Generally, the crowd status is the statistics of people quantity in space and time dimensions.
- Smart H.265+/H.265/Smart H.264+/H.264/MJPEG decoding format
- Access, storage or forwarding at 256 Mbps (180 Mbps when AI function enabled)
- Max. decoding capability: 16 × 1080p@30 fps. Supports adaptive decoding
- AI by NVR: 1-channel face detection and recognition; 2-channel perimeter protection; up to 10 face databases and 20,000 face images; 4-channel SMD Plus
- AI by Camera: Face detection and recognition, perimeter protection; SMD Plus; people counting; stereo analysis; heat map
- Connected to the third-party network cameras
- Security baseline 2.3
ANPR by Camera
With deep learning algorithm, Dahua ANPR technology can recognize the number plate information of vehicles in the image with ANPR cameras. Support blocklist/allowlist mode, searching target vehicles from recorded video.
Quick Pick
Dahua Quick Pick technology can enable users to quickly pick up the human/vehicle targets that they are interested in, which facilitates retrieval from SMD events. Lite Series | DHI-NVR4204-EI DHI-NVR4204-EI 4CH 1U 2HDDs WizSense Network Video Recorder
