NVR-16CH-2XI specs quite impressive
- Thread starter JPmedia
- Start date
And then you start adding drives and the price keeps climbing, especially at $250 - $275 per each 10TB drive - AND THERE ARE 8 BAYS FOR DRIVES!
Very true. However that is true for every NVR.
Like I said, the one you posted is great for the majority of people. It just wouldn't work for me, and others like myself.
Yes, we add these 2 multilens cameras
Good for some project users, but multi lens cameras low light capacity is not great. So mostly use at business places.

ITC431-RW1F-IRL8 or LPR413-Z3 cams? Either way, most homeowners won't need the 32XI, nor the super-duper ANPR cams. Hell, having the NVR16-16P 2XI would be a luxury, for me anyway. Would love to own the 2XI, but it's out of my budget.Timok guy has all ANPR super ones from us, and the super 32XI NVR
608-XI allows to do on NVR Video Meta Data with ANPR for 8 cams..
so You use simple, smaller & much cheaper 5442-ZE/Z4E (comparing to 7442 or ITC413) and put more into NVR...
For someone who needs that type of features it sure is worth the price, but I don't think many will be running up to 8 ANPR cameras in a residential area. It really is geared towards those with businesses or large properties that need to monitor and record several access points. Not very typical in a consumer setting.
please remember this forum is not "normal" home owners with basic / mediocre CCTV system
I understand that, but how many have 8 ANPR cameras in their system? Or have the need for that many? Most residential applications will not have the proper locations or angles to support true ANPR cameras.please remember this forum is not "normal" home owners with basic / mediocre CCTV system
Unless you have a lot of traffic that needs monitoring and the proper mounting circumstances, you probably won't have a need for true ANPR cameras, especially at $540 to $830 per camera.
Some may have a lot of money to throw at this, but there are many more that don't - like me. And dare I say that some have come here after spending a good chunk of money on a basic / mediocre CCTV system with crap performance looking for help, so they are already behind, cash end and knowledge.
JMHO
If you’re lucky enough to have 4 locations that support ANPR cameras, with a mix of twelve 4mp normal cameras, a 608 XI 32 channel NVR, four 10TB hard drives and cabling, you’re damn near $7500. That does not include mounting brackets, or incidentals like RJ-45 connectors, weather couplers, hardware, etc.
I would say that this is out of reach for a few here

You forgot that ANPR is only one of the AI functions, which 608-XI can add to cams...
Full Video Meta Data (with humans, faces, vehicles & plates) are very good function... Camera can do IVS, NVR can add Video Meta Data..
Also Face Detect / Recognition is another interesting combination done on NVR next to IVS done on cam...
608-XI allows to mix different AI functions done on NVR side..
it have much more higher AI limits and it is more AI flexible..
this NVR can mix AI done on NVR and AcuPick... 5xxx-EI can't do it...
Also hardware wise 608-XI is in much different construction than cheap popular 5xxx-EI..
1.5U rackable chassis, 8 hot swappable HDD buys (with RAID support), 4 HDMI outputs (plus 2 VGA), 2 (4 in higher models) gigabit ethernet connections...
All specs / limits are upped in comparison to 5xxx-EI.. much more powerful SOC & CPU...
it's highest NVR line Dahua do...
608-XI have also much higher lifetime..
5xxx-EI is on market second year and in next month/two will be replaced by next line (-HI or EI2 - I saw 2 different marketing names in Dahua materials)..
So no more firmware with extra new features for old -EI..
-XI have 5 years lifetime with firmware upgrades / updates.. and it were released last year...
Yes, it is not for normal house market...
but for some bigger residences or some fanatics like people on this forum - very nice NVR...
Especially on crazy prices from Andy.. I know what is MSRP in official Dahua channels in Europe for this (like 4-5K USD)...

aha, that is not the same ANPR camera, the NVR the next month price will increase aroudn 100usd due to the tariffs increase. Very bad situation.
I didn't forget, I just mentioned the ANPR because it was mentioned by Andy. I know ANPR is not the only AI features, but soon as you start using AI on the NVR, you lose quite a bit of bandwidth.
I would guess that the XI is built better with the higher price. Also, that the support is better due to better design and cost.
But how many would need hot-swappable storage up to 80TB in a residential application? Unless you have deep pockets/and or something of very high value to cover, it's just overkill for the majority of residential installations. And if it's that highly valuable, you should probably have armed guards to protect it.
Fanatics I can see, but you need have the coin to be fanatical in this hobby. Again, probably not something for the usual user.
I just mentioned those two as the form is the most common that I have seen. Either way, you're still looking at between high 400s to low 800s for ANPR cameras.
And speaking of tariffs, I imagine all camera equipment will increase with the tariffs, so those same camera ranges could be up to another $100 on top of the current price. Yikes!
I have one 431, two 7442 and one 437. The 431 and 437 are purely ANPR. The 431 is costly, but does an amazing job.
The two 7442 I have capture plates, but are mainly for face capturing. They both do a fantastic job as well.
Yes, I've spent a lot of money on all my cams. I was going to purchase the EI NVR, but then I started to think about what I may want to do down the line. So, I went with the NVR that I know can/will grow with me if/when I decide to add more cams, or change things up.
At this point it's as much a hobby as it is a deterrent, etc... In fact I just put up a cam last week (the 3 series) just to cover my AC unit outside, and for a different view of my side yard. Did I need it? Absolutely not, but after hearing about neighbors getting their exterior AC units stolen for parts, I figured this... what's another $150 to keep an eye on my unit and hopefully deter someone from messing with it, compared to the thousands of dollars it would take to replace the parts?
Same with the $800 ANPR, and the $500 7 series cams. I could, and do have cheaper cams that could do the same thing. But once you install something like the 431, or even the 7 series cams, you realize that the quality is better, and they can do things better than the cheaper cams.
Not to say the 5241 series aren't good, They're great, especially for the $180-$250 that they go for. But the 431 and the 7 series are clearly a step above.
