What's in the box
The full contents of the kit are listed here, with the quantity of each part. Selecting a part opens its complete specification.
It uses analogue cameras, so it is worth checking the condition and compatibility of any existing coax before reusing it.
Recording storage
The kit includes 4TB of storage. How many days it records is decided by the mix of cameras, their bitrate and the recording schedule, so for this configuration we cannot give a reliable day estimate.
Before installation
Before installing, look through the box list to see which cables, mounting accessories and power supplies are included. Then plan cable lengths and camera positions around your layout — as a rule, how many cameras there are does not tell you what will be covered. Finally, at each position, make sure the lens gives the field of view you need and that the lighting and weather protection suit it.
Price on request
The kit includes one part without a published price, the Toshiba S300 4TB Surveillance Hard Drive 3.5" SATA 5400RPM, which is quoted individually. That is why the kit as a whole is priced for you on request, rather than shown with a total. The rest of the contents are listed below.

Where the recorded footage is stored
In practice the kit is a starting point: open it in the builder and you can swap the cameras, move to a larger drive or lengthen the cable runs. Every substitution is checked against the remaining parts as you make it, so the builder never lets you assemble parts that do not work together.
Product Description
A 4-channel Dahua WizSense recorder with a 4TB drive already fitted, ready to record on delivery. For UK installers, that means one less trip to source and mount a hard drive on site — the unit is set up to start recording as soon as it's connected to cameras.
What it's built for
The XVR5104HS-I3 is a 4K AI Penta-brid DVR: it accepts multiple analogue and HD signal types on the same 4 channels, which suits jobs where you're replacing an older analogue system without recabling. This makes it a practical fit for:
- Small retail units with a handful of entrance/till/stockroom cameras
- Single-office sites needing basic coverage without a full NVR install
- Residential blocks or shops where 4 channels covers the whole property
Key specs
- 4 channels — suited to smaller sites rather than large multi-camera estates
- 4K resolution support — recorder handles up to 4K input
- AI (WizSense) — Dahua's onboard analytics engine
- Penta-brid design — flexible input compatibility across signal types
- 4TB hard drive pre-installed — recorder arrives ready to record, no separate drive purchase needed
Planning a deployment
For a 4-channel job, match this DVR to the number of cameras you're actually running — if the site needs more than 4 inputs, look at Dahua's higher-channel XVR models instead. Pair with cameras rated for the resolution you want to capture, since the recorder supports up to 4K but individual camera output still governs actual image quality.
