Dahua NVR 3204-P??

[eythor 0]

Hello everybody,

I have a question for you guys- can I use Dahua´s NVR3204-P for for more than just the 4 1.3MP cameras that came with the kit?

best regards

It's a 4 Chan NVR so you can only have a max of 4 cameras.

 

However, You can have up to 2MP cameras because it supports 1080P.

1.3mp = 720P iirc.

 

You'll want to check the rate of the cameras though because your NVR has a bit rate of, 48 ~ 8192kbps ( 8 MBPS max )

This is the amount of Data it can handle. It can handle 1080P cameras. (2MP) but you'll want to make sure it

won't overload the nvr.

 

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok, it´s just that they all have 4 Poe ports (3204/3208/3216) ?

Yes all those models have only 4 poe ports, best to buy a PoE switch if you want to run more than 4 ip cams.

Yes, All "P" NVR's from Dahua have 4 POE Ports, Even if it's the 16 Chan NVR.

 

It makes no sense to me. Because, I would rather have One Single cable going to the attic/basement and then

a powered switch port to power all the cameras. Makes things clean and less cluttered. IMHO.

 

One thing I hated about my old analog system, all those cables having to make it all the way down to the dvr.

hmmm so once again I am a littlebit confused here, say If I would like to have like 6 ipc-hfw2100 1.3MP

cameras on my NVR 3204 system, I could just by adding a switch for more ports?

Why then make a 3204,3208 and 3216 ??

The last number 32xx (x) denotes channels (how many cameras) you can put on the system.

 

The p means it will have 4 POE ports.

As said above. The P just means there will be 4 powered ports. No matter which dvr you get.

The reason you can't have 6 cameras on the 4 chan nvr is because firmware aka programming.

 

For 4 chan, 8 or 16 there are different settings. Different Layouts, etc....

 

A company can't sell the 16 for what the 4 is, So there has to be a way for them to create leveled products.

So, someone who wants 4 cameras, Only pays X amount, And if you want more you gotta pay more.

 

You can try to add more cameras, But Your NVR will simply not allow it. You won't be able to see them

or anything so it's pointless.

 

Sorry if I'm confusing, Any more questions just ask!

I am subscribing to this thread hoping that someone can tell if the fps can be split among several cameras.

 

Like, 3216 can record 400fps@D1, 200fps@720p, or 100fps@1080p. I assumed that with that you could record 4 cameras at 1080p 25fps each camera, but that maybe you could also record 8 cameras at 1080p 12fps each camera. So, that the total fps that the NVR can record at a given resolution can be split between several cameras. Is that so? Can someone correct me if I am wrong?

That is correct.

 

Is that PAL, because I thought it was 1080p at 120 FPS.

[Securame 0]

That is correct.

Yeah, I am always used to PAL numbers. 100fps@1080p PAL or 120fps@1080p NTSC.

Thanks!

Bare in mind that is firmware-dependent!
