NVR with onboard AI

[lane777smith]

I have 4 Amcrest 1179's coming and I want to use them with an NVR that has Person/Vehicle detection since these cameras have no AI built in. Does the Dahua NVR5208-4KS2 have AI or does it just use the cameras AI functions? Looking for recommendations if not. Thanks.

The NVR's with '-I' have AI built in.
Example, my NVR5216-16P-I.
Do be aware of the hefty price tag.

I reckon it would be cheaper to replace your cameras with AI ones or build a decent machine to run a VMS (like Blue Iris).

Maybe that would be an alternative: Try to get the "old" WizSense NVR2-I Series. For example the NVR2104-I or NVR2108-I. The old models have:

1-channel face detection and recognition (AI by NVR); or 2-channel perimeter detection (AI by NVR); or 4-channel SMD (AI by NVR) Search by target classification (human, vehicle); up to 10 face databases and 5,000 face images

And they have/had a very cheap price (in Europe/Germany)
NVR2104-I = ~ € 80,--
NVR2108-I = ~ € 130,--

The new -I2 models have only 1-channel perimeter detection (AI by NVR) but SMD 3.0.

You can still find the "old" WizSense models on the German website of Dahua.

I've been searching for this info as well, thanks!

i ended up going with Blue Iris to handle the AI functions. So far I'm really liking it.
