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: 2TB, 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.

Product Description
The Dahua XVR5104HS-I3 4-Channel DVR + 2TB Recording (SKU 1xDH-XVR5104HS-4KL-I2+2TB) is a Dahua WizSense digital video recorder (DVR) for small CCTV systems. It arrives with its hard drive already fitted.
What the headline specs mean
- 4 channels: one camera per channel, so up to four cameras connect to this recorder.
- 4K: sold as a 4K model. 4K is the ultra-high-definition class, roughly four times the pixels of 1080p.
- AI: WizSense is Dahua's name for its AI recorder range.
- Penta-brid: Dahua's term for a recorder that accepts several camera signal types, rather than just one.
- 2TB hard drive, pre-installed: 2TB is 2,000GB of storage. You don't need to buy and fit a drive before first use.
What else you need
The recorder is the hub. You still need up to four cameras, the cabling to reach them, and a power source for each camera. Plan your camera positions and cable runs before ordering so the four channels cover the areas you care about.
Weak or long power runs can cause night-time flicker on cameras with infrared (IR) LEDs, so check the adapter rating and cable quality when you wire up.
