The Dahua NVR5208-EI2 is the ideal choice if you are looking for a powerful, reliable and yet NVR. This smart recorder is built for certainty: razor-sharp images, extremely fast search and 24/7 stability. Thanks to the integrated AI chip with face recognition, SMD Plus and PPE detection, among other features, it takes your security straight to a higher level.

That is actually convenient: you choose the PoE switch and hard drives that suit your budget and growth.

Frequently asked questions
Is a hard drive included?
No, this recorder is supplied without a hard disk. Choose a disk designed for continuous recording, in other words a surveillance disk. Are you unsure which size you need? Call or email us and we will work it out with you.
Does it also work with cameras from another brand?
The recorder supports ONVIF, so cameras from other brands can usually be used with it. The smart functions of Dahua do not always work in that case. Do you want to be sure that your camera is compatible? Please ask us.
Can I watch on my phone?
Yes, with Dahua's free DMSS app you can watch live, play back recordings and receive notifications. The link to the app is provided.
Which cable do I need?
Network cable of at least category 5e, installed as fixed wiring. For outdoor use or underground, choose a cable that is made for that purpose. If you are unsure, call or email us and we will help you decide.
