DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 32-Channel NVR | 16 PoE Ports | 2 SATA Bays | 4K Output | H.265+ Compression
Record up to thirty-two security cameras and feed sixteen of them through one wired box without separate switches.
Condition: New

DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 29,000, ready to anchor a 32-channel IP camera system from our Nairobi CBD store at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. This 1U recorder accepts up to 32 network cameras, supplies Power over Ethernet to 16 of them directly, and holds 2 SATA hard drives for continuous recording. It supports IP cameras up to 12MP, decodes H.265+ footage, and outputs live video in 4K resolution through HDMI. Hard drives are sold separately, so you size storage to your own retention needs.
The DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 suits retail shop owners, warehouse managers, school administrators, and residential estate committees across Kenya who run mid-to-large camera counts. A supermarket in Nairobi CBD covering tills, aisles, and loading bays needs many camera feeds on one recorder. Gated communities in Karen, Runda, and Kileleshwa watching gates, perimeters, and clubhouses face the same demand. The 16 built-in PoE ports cut the cost and clutter of a separate network switch, since each connected camera draws both data and power through a single cable run.
Security installers and facility managers choose the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 because 32 channels leave headroom to grow a camera count over time. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International stocks this recorder at a verified price with countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the unit before paying. Buyers across Kenya tell us PoE recorders save days of installation labour. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to handle the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 before purchase, or order for delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 1U recorder
How many cameras can the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 actually record?
The NVR4232-16P-4KS3 records up to 32 IP camera channels in total. Of those, 16 cameras connect directly to the recorder's built-in PoE ports, drawing power and data through one cable each. The remaining 16 channels connect over your wider network, through a separate PoE switch or external power. This split lets a shop start with 16 cabled cameras and add more later across the building. Each channel accepts resolution up to 12MP, so you mix 2MP entrance cameras with 8MP wide-area units on the same recorder.
What does the 16 PoE ports feature save me on installation?
The 16 PoE ports remove the need for a separate network switch and separate camera power supplies for those first 16 cameras. Each camera runs on a single Ethernet cable carrying both video and electricity, up to 100 metres from the recorder. For a warehouse in Industrial Area or a school spread across blocks, that means fewer cables, fewer power points, and faster setup. Installers report PoE recorders cut wiring time sharply on multi-camera jobs, lowering total labour cost for the property owner.
Does the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 come with a hard drive included?
No, the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 ships without hard drives, and this is normal for recorders at this channel count. You choose storage based on how many cameras you run and how long you keep footage. The two SATA bays accept 3.5-inch surveillance-rated drives up to large capacities each. A 4TB drive holds roughly two to four weeks of 16-camera footage at standard settings, depending on resolution and motion activity. Mascom International stocks compatible surveillance hard drives so you complete the system in one visit.
What video compression does the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 use?
The DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 uses H.265+ compression, alongside H.265, H.264+, and H.264 formats. H.265+ cuts the storage each camera consumes by a large margin compared with older H.264 recording. In practical terms, the same hard drive holds far more days of footage, or the same retention period needs a smaller drive. This matters for Kenyan businesses watching recurring storage costs. Lower bandwidth per camera also keeps your network steady when many feeds record at once during busy trading hours.
Can the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 output video in 4K?
Yes, the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 outputs live and recorded video at 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) through its HDMI port. It also carries a VGA output for a second screen or older monitors. The 4K feed lets a security operator view many camera tiles at once on a large display without losing detail when zooming into a single feed. A control room watching a Nairobi CBD retail floor benefits from sharper faces and clearer number plates on a 4K monitor than on an older 1080p setup.
What AI and analytics does the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 support?
The DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 runs 2-channel SMD Plus directly on the recorder, separating people and vehicles from background motion to cut false alerts. When paired with compatible Dahua AI cameras, it adds face detection and recognition, perimeter protection, people counting, stereo analysis, and heatmap reporting. A retail manager uses people counting for footfall data, while an estate uses perimeter protection to flag intrusions at the fence line. These tools reduce the hours staff spend reviewing footage, since the system surfaces the events that matter first.
Is the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 worth KSh 29,000 for a Kenyan business?
For a business running 16 to 32 cameras, the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 earns its KSh 29,000 by combining the recorder and a 16-port PoE switch in one box. Bought separately, a 16-port PoE switch alone often costs a large share of that figure. The 32-channel ceiling means one purchase covers years of camera expansion. Schools, supermarkets, petrol stations, and warehouses across Kenya rely on this recorder class for reliable, around-the-clock recording. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from estates and retailers upgrading old analogue systems to IP.
Which IP cameras work with the DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3?
The DAHUA NVR4232-16P-4KS3 works with Dahua IP cameras up to 12MP and with third-party cameras through ONVIF compatibility. ONVIF support means you are not locked to a single camera brand, though Dahua cameras unlock the full AI feature set. The recorder auto-detects cameras plugged into its PoE ports and assigns addresses, which shortens setup for installers. For most Kenyan shops and estates, a mix of 2MP and 4MP Dahua cameras pairs cleanly with this unit while leaving channels free for later additions.
