WizSense series description and features
The Dahua WizSense series, according to the manufacturer's documentation, is based on autonomous AI and deep learning algorithms, focusing on precise recognition of people and vehicles. The DHI-NVR4232-EI Series NVR4000-EI offers high accuracy in facial recognition, perimeter protection and SMD (Smart Motion Detection), and when paired with selected IPC cameras, enables the use of QuickPick to quickly search and select human and vehicle targets in recordings.
Intelligent AI functions and analytics
The DHI-NVR4232-EI DVR, according to the manufacturer's documentation, supports AI functions on both the DVR and connected camera sides, including face detection and recognition, perimeter protection, SMD PLus, people counting, stereo analysis, heat maps and ANPR by camera. The device allows the creation of up to 10 face databases with a total capacity of 20,000 images (2.5 GB), with the ability to add data such as name, gender, date of birth, address, document type and number, country/region and state to each image, and provides various AI modes for the DVR and cameras, according to the manufacturer's documentation.
Video configuration, networking and alarms
The DVR offers a maximum bandwidth of 256 Mbps (input, recording and output) with AI features disabled and 180 Mbps with AI features enabled, as well as the ability to decode up to 16 1080p@30 fps channels or 4 8 MP@30 fps channels, with different combinations depending on AI enablement, according to the manufacturer's documentation. The device supports multiple network protocols (including. HTTP, HTTPS, TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6, RTSP, UPnP, SNMP, SMTP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, PPPoE, DDNS, FTP, P2P) and various types of alarms (motion, masking, video loss, scene change, PIR and external IPC alarms, disk and network errors, audio detection), as well as alarm links such as recording, still images, IPC alarm outputs, audio, buzzer, log, preset and email.
