Hi guys,

These two NVR's seem identical apart from the housing; the -HS version is black and *slightly* bigger and they moved 1 USB2.0 port from the back to the front.
Looking at the specs and the recent Q1 catalog from Andy (Dahua IP Catalog 201902 Q1) I can't find any other differences between the two. Can you guys?

PS; this also counts for the 8 and 16 channel versions. I'm not including the versions with build-in POE ports.

Technically, I have both in 16 and 8 channel respectively. However the HS is still awaiting a replacement mainboard after failure in December. The non-HS was purchased as a stop-gap. I haven't really noticed much difference in the setup... I can't believe that they are a different board but I'll have to wait until I can confirm.

I'm not sure which one I'll sell when the HS is back up and running. If it ever is...

Cheers, Steve

Look basically the same to me.

Thanks guy's, so it wasn't just me. :rolleyes:
I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
Andy did mention the -HS version was the newer version.

In the end; I ordered the NVR4116HS-4KS2 from Andy and it should arrive tomorrow.:cool:
Now I only need the get the Purple drive, I think the 2TB version is the sweet spot for price/capacity.
(1TB is €52, 2TB is €67, 3TB is €91, 4TB is €113)

2TB should give me about 42 days of 24/7 recording with 1 5231 camera which is already 50% more than my current 128GB SD-card can hold only recording motion.

If anyone has questions about this particular NVR; I'm happy to help.
