Device description and features

NVR2000-4KS3 model DHI-NVR2108HS-8P-4KS3 is a Lite Series DVR, designed for scenes requiring detailed 4K images and capable of operating as edge, central or backup storage, with an intuitive shortcut menu for remote management and control, according to the manufacturer's documentation. The DVR supports Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG decoding, provides maximum throughput of 144/144/72 Mbps (input/recording/output) with AI disabled and up to 72/72/36 Mbps with AI enabled, as well as maximum decoding capabilities of up to 1 × 12 MP@30 fps or 6 × 1080p@30 fps (with AI disabled) and correspondingly reduced values with AI features enabled.

AI, detection and alarm functions

The DVR uses the SMD (Smart Motion Detection) function implemented by the DVR to categorize objects triggering motion detection and filter alarms generated by irrelevant targets, according to the manufacturer's documentation. AI by the camera supports perimeter and SMD protection, with AI perimeter protection performance by the camera covering all channels (4 targets/s), SMD function PLus by the DVR works on 4 channels (secondary filtering for people and motor vehicles, reduction of false alarms caused by leaves, rain and light changes), and SMD PLus by the camera supports all channels (8 targets/s); general alarms (motion detection, external camera alarm, PIR alarm), anomaly alarms (disk errors, missing disk, low space, IP/MAC conflicts, video loss, video tampering, offline camera), and smart alarms for perimeter protection and SMD PLus are also supported, with alarm links such as recording, snapshot, buzzer, log, preset, email and route.

Network parameters, interfaces and operating environment

The device supports HTTP, HTTPS, TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, IP Filter, DDNS, IP Search (for IP cameras, DVRs, NVS, etc.), P2P and Auto Registration, offers mobile access for iOS and Android, ONVIF 23.12 interoperability (Profiles T, S, G), CGI and SDK, and support for Chrome, IE, Safari, Edge and Firefox browsers, according to the manufacturer's documentation. The DVR features 1 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps network port, 8 10/100 Mbps PoE ports, 1 HDMI and 1 VGA output, 2 USB ports 2.0 (front and rear), 1 RCA audio input and 1 RCA audio output, 53 V DC 1.81 A power supply, total DVR power consumption of less than 10 W (without HDD) and total PoE power of 72 W, with product dimensions of 260.0 mm × 232.5 mm × 47.6 mm and net weight of 0.89 kg, gross weight of 2.05 kg, operating temperature of -10 °C to +55 °C, storage temperature of -20 °C to +60 °C and operating humidity of 10-93% RH (non-condensing).
