Standard fixed turrets drawing 6–10 W each will fit comfortably. Cameras with strobes, sirens, speakers or heaters can draw 10–15 W or more, and sixteen of those will exceed the budget. The symptom is cameras booting, dropping and rebooting rather than a clean failure.

A site starts with eight channels, fills them within a year, adds a second eight-channel NVR to cover the rest — and now has two systems, two apps or two logins, two sets of retention, two places to look when something happens, and footage that cannot be reviewed on one timeline. It works, but it is genuinely worse than one recorder. Consolidating onto a single sixteen-channel unit costs less than most people assume, gives one continuous timeline across every camera, and removes the daily friction of a split system.

The sixteen PoE ports share a 130 W total budget — around 8 W per camera if you use every port — with up to 25.5 W available on any single port. Standard fixed turrets drawing 6–10 W each fit comfortably. Cameras with strobes, sirens, speakers or heaters draw considerably more, and sixteen of those would exceed the budget. The symptom is cameras booting and rebooting rather than failing cleanly. Send us your camera list and we will add it up before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe AI only supports 4 channels of SMD Plus — does that mean AI on a quarter of my cameras?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eNo, and this is the most common misreading. Those limits apply to \u003cem\u003eAI by NVR\u003c\/em\u003e — the recorder analysing on behalf of cameras that cannot. If your cameras have onboard AI, which every Dahua WizSense model does, they classify targets themselves and Dahua rates that as working across all sixteen channels. Build with WizSense cameras and the limits never apply; use the NVR-side AI to add intelligence to older cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWhy does bandwidth drop from 256 to 180 Mbps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eBecause the processor is running AI analysis as well as recording, and that computation has to come from somewhere. Decoding capability drops with it — from four channels of 8MP to three, and from sixteen channels of 1080p to twelve. Letting the cameras handle their own AI avoids the reduction entirely, which is another reason to build with WizSense cameras where you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDoes it come with hard drives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eNo — it ships with two empty bays, so you will need at least one drive before it can record. Use surveillance-rated drives such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk; standard desktop drives are designed for intermittent use and fail early under continuous surveillance writing, usually silently. On a sixteen-camera system we would generally recommend filling both bays. We stock surveillance drives and can supply the unit with them fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDo two drive bays mean my footage is backed up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eNot automatically — the two bays give capacity and disk grouping rather than mirroring. What disk grouping does let you do is control which channels record to which drive, so you can put the critical cameras on one disk and general coverage on the other. If a drive then fails you lose half the system rather than all of it, and you choose which half. It costs nothing to configure and is well worth doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHow long will sixteen cameras record for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eIt depends on resolution, frame rate, compression and how much movement the cameras see. Sixteen cameras fill storage considerably faster than eight, and 8MP fills it faster than 4MP — Smart H.265+ helps significantly. If you need a specific retention period, such as the 30 days many insurers and compliance requirements specify, tell us the camera spec and we will size both drives properly rather than guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDo I need a separate PoE switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eNot for a standard sixteen-camera system — that is the main reason to choose this model. All sixteen ports are built in, so cameras plug directly into the recorder using one Cat5e or Cat6 cable each for both data and power, and Dahua cameras are detected automatically. You would only need an additional switch if your cameras are high-draw enough to exceed the 130 W total budget, in which case running a few from a separate switch solves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCan I display all sixteen cameras at once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eYes — sixteen channels at 1080p with AI disabled, or twelve at 1080p and sixteen at 720p with NVR-side AI running. Both HDMI and VGA support 1, 4, 8, 9 or 16-way layouts and can be configured independently, so two screens can show different views. Your recorded evidence is unaffected: every channel records at full resolution regardless of what is on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWill it work with non-Dahua cameras?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eYes, and the support is broader than most recorders — ONVIF 23.12 with Profiles S, G and T, plus named support for Panasonic, Sony, Hanwha, Axis, Pelco, Arecont and Canon. That is genuinely useful on a commercial upgrade where a site has accumulated cameras from several installers. Note that another manufacturer's intelligent features may not surface through this recorder; plan for recording and check anything beyond that with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #E8E8E8; padding: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWhat can I do with the alarm inputs and outputs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eFour inputs let external devices — beams, door contacts, an alarm panel output — trigger recording, snapshots or alerts on the recorder. Two outputs let the recorder drive an external siren, strobe or relay when an event occurs. On a commercial site with existing alarm infrastructure, wiring the two together turns two parallel systems into one integrated response.

Facial recognition data is biometric information under the Australian Privacy Act, and using it in a commercial or public-facing setting brings notification, consent and data-handling obligations that ordinary CCTV does not — several Australian businesses have faced regulatory action over exactly this.
