DAHUA DHI-NVR1104HS-S3/H (4 CHANNELS, NO PoE) - IP VIDEO RECORDER
Description Dahua DHI-NVR1104HS-S3/H
The simplest model in the entire Dahua NVR lineup — and that's exactly the point
DHI-NVR11xxHS-S3/H opens the budget S3/H series: 4 channels, no built-in PoE port, no analytics function like face recognition or perimeter protection. This isn't a stripped-down version of something bigger — it's a distinct rung of the lineup for anyone who wants plain, predictable video recording with no layered-on features they'd end up paying for regardless.
Powered by a plain DC 12V adapter
The recorder runs on a standard 12V/1.5A source — the same type found in the vast majority of consumer electronics. Unlike PoE versions in the same series, which need a specialized 48V or 53V power supply, a regular, widely available adapter works fine here, easy to replace in case of failure without hunting down a proprietary equivalent.
8 MP recording and an 80 MB/s input stream
Support for recording up to 8 MP per channel in Smart H.265+/Smart H.264+/H.265/H.264 formats with an 80 MB/s input stream ensures steady reception of video from all 4 channels at once at high resolution with no frame-rate drop in typical surveillance scenarios.
1 drive up to 8 TB and two monitors
Support for one hard drive up to 8 TB gives sufficient archive capacity for 4 channels at 8 MP, and two simultaneous video outputs let you connect both a security post's working monitor and an extra screen in an office with no system reconfiguration.
IP20 protection class — for indoors, not outdoors
An IP20 housing protection class means the recorder is built for installation inside a space protected from dust and direct moisture — a utility room, an office, a sales floor, not an open yard or an unenclosed canopy.
Network protocols for remote access
Support for HTTP, HTTPS, TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6, RTSP, UDP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, and P2P provides connection to an existing network and remote access via a cloud service with no manual port forwarding — the same level of network flexibility as the lineup's higher-end models, despite this being the lowest price in the series.
A compact 260×225×48 mm housing weighing 0.81 kg
Housing dimensions of 260×225×48 mm and a weight of 0.81 kg are typical for a 4-channel recorder in this class — compact enough to mount on a small shelf or in the bottom section of an equipment cabinet with no special bracket.
Client software for Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, plus a 12-month warranty
Viewing and control are available across all the major platforms, and a 12-month warranty covers factory defects and early component failures during the first year of operation.
Who genuinely fits this model
DHI-NVR11xxHS-S3/H suits an owner whose cameras already have separate power or connect through an existing switch, and who has no plans to use face recognition or perimeter protection at this particular site. If a need for camera power through the recorder or for analytics comes up later, Dahua's lineup has models with those capabilities — but paying for them upfront when they aren't needed doesn't make sense. Tell us how your cameras connect and whether you need analytics, and we can advise on the optimal model.
