System description and features
The DHI-NVR4216-4KS3 is part of the NVR4000-4KS3 Lite Series and uses an industrial-grade processor and Embedded Linux operating system. It is operated through a local GUI and browser-based (Web) interface, and the unit can operate as edge, central or backup storage. The DVR decodes Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG formats, and can display video via HDMI and VGA outputs at resolutions up to 3840 × 2160. IP cameras up to 12 MP are supported, and decoding with AI disabled is up to 1 channel 12 MP@30 fps, 2 × 8 MP@30 fps, 3 × 5 MP@30 fps, 4 × 4 MP@30 fps or 8 × 1080p@30 fps.
Smart functions and analytics
The DVR offers Smart Motion Detection (SMD PLus) through the DVR on 4 channels, providing secondary event filtering for people and motor vehicles and reducing false alarms caused by foliage, rain and light changes. When working with compatible IP cameras, AI functions through the camera are available, such as face detection, face recognition using a face database, perimeter protection with false alarm filtering, SMD PLus, people counting, stereo analysis (including detection of falling, aggressive behavior, prolonged stay, and spatial exceptions), and a heat map visualizing the density of people and their probability of appearing in specific areas. According to the manufacturer's documentation, the camera's AI functions can operate on up to 6 channels simultaneously for perimeter protection, face detection and face recognition.
Technical specifications and interfaces
The DHI-NVR4216-4KS3 provides 16 channels of access to IP cameras and supports network protocols and standards such as HTTP, HTTPS, TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, UPnP, IP Filter, FTP, DDNS, SNMP, Alarm Server, P2P and Auto Registration and IP Search. The device is compliant with ONVIF 22.12 (Profiles T, S, G), CGI and SDK and works with cameras from companies such as Panasonic, Sony, Axis, Arecont, Pelco, Canon and Hanwha. The recorder has 2 SATA ports (each drive up to 20 TB, depending on ambient temperature), 1 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps network port, 1 RCA audio input and 1 RCA audio output, 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs (including one 12 V 1 A output), and 2 USB 2.0 ports (1 on the front, 1 on the back).
