What's in the box
Contents: every part, with quantities. Select a part for its full specification.
System: analogue cameras. Reusing existing coax: check its condition and compatibility first.
Recording storage
Storage: 1TB, included. Recording time (estimate): not available for this configuration. It depends on the camera mix, the bitrate and the recording schedule.
Before installation
Three checks apply. Included items: the box list shows the cables, power supplies and mounting accessories supplied. Layout: choose cable lengths and camera positions to suit the site; the number of cameras alone does not determine coverage. Each position: confirm the lens field of view, the lighting and the weather protection.

Changing the cameras, drive size or cable lengths: use the builder, where any part of this kit can be replaced. Each change is checked against the other parts, so an incompatible combination cannot be built.
Product Description
The Dahua XVR5104HS-I3 4-Channel DVR + 1TB Recording (SKU 1xDH-XVR5104HS-4KL-I2+1TB) is a digital video recorder (DVR) with four channels and a hard drive already fitted. Here is what each headline spec means in practice.
Spec by spec
- 4 channels: the recorder has four channel inputs. Count your camera positions before you choose.
- 4K: the recorder is described as 4K, an ultra-high-definition (UHD) class. Camera choice is a separate decision.
- WizSense AI: Dahua's WizSense name for the artificial intelligence (AI) features on this recorder.
- Penta-brid: takes HD analogue cameras and IP (network) cameras on one recorder. That suits a site where existing analogue cameras stay and IP cameras are added later.
- 1TB hard disk drive (HDD), pre-installed: storage is already inside the unit, so there is no drive to buy or fit first.
What you still need to add
Cameras, plus cable and power for each one. Recording time on the 1TB drive depends on how many cameras are recording, at what resolution, and whether they record continuously or only on motion. Work that out before installation.
