AI & Intelligent Surveillance Features
SMD Plus by Camera
The EZ-N416PRO supports Dahua Smart Motion Detection Plus from compatible cameras on up to six channels. SMD Plus uses intelligent algorithms to categorise targets that trigger motion detection and filter alarms caused by non-concerned targets, helping improve the relevance and accuracy of motion alerts.
Face Detection by Camera
Compatible cameras can use deep-learning algorithms to detect, track, optimise and capture faces appearing within video.
Supported face attributes listed for the system include gender, age group, glasses, expressions, face mask and beard.
The EZ-N416PRO supports face detection by camera on up to 6 channels.
Face Recognition by Camera
Face recognition technology extracts characteristics from captured faces and compares them against information stored in a configured face database.
The EZ-N416PRO supports face recognition by compatible cameras on up to 6 channels.
Perimeter Protection by Camera
Perimeter protection from compatible cameras is designed to improve alarm accuracy by filtering false alarms caused by irrelevant activity such as animals, rustling leaves and bright lights.
The EZ-N416PRO supports perimeter protection by camera on up to 6 channels.
Stereo Analysis by Camera
With compatible cameras, stereo analysis combines deep-learning algorithms with three-dimensional scene information to identify specified behaviours and events. Supported examples include fall detection, violence detection, stay detection and space exceptions, with configured alarm signals and linkage actions generated when relevant.
Heat Map by Camera
Heat-map functionality can display crowd density and appearance probability using different colours, providing a visual representation of activity across spatial and time dimensions when used with compatible cameras.

The EZ-N416PRO provides a 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 network interface.
Supported network protocols include HTTP, HTTPS, TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, UPnP, IP Filter, FTP, DDNS, SNMP, Alarm Server, P2P, Auto Registration and IP Search.
Mobile access is supported for iOS and Android.
Third-Party Camera Compatibility
The EZ-N416PRO supports ONVIF interoperability and lists third-party camera access for:
ONVIF, Panasonic, Sony, Axis, Arecont, Pelco, Canon and Hanwha.
The recorder supports ONVIF 22.12 Profile T, Profile S and Profile G, along with CGI and SDK interoperability.
Actual functions available with third-party cameras can vary according to camera model, firmware, protocol implementation and supported features.
Recording, Playback & Backup
The EZ-N416PRO supports general, motion detection, intelligent and alarm recording modes.
Playback modes include instant playback, general playback, event playback, tag playback and smart playback.
The recorder supports multi-channel playback of up to 16 channels, while recorded footage can be backed up through a USB device or over the network.
Alarm & Event Management
General alarms include motion detection, privacy masking, video loss, scene changing, PIR alarm and IPC external alarm.
Anomaly alarms include camera disconnection, storage errors, disk-full conditions, IP conflicts, MAC conflicts, login lock and cybersecurity exceptions.
Intelligent alarms can include face detection, face recognition, perimeter protection, SMD Plus, people counting, stereo analysis and heat map when supported by compatible cameras.
Alarm linkage options include recording, snapshots, IPC external alarm output, audio, buzzer, log, preset and email.
The EZ-N416PRO additionally provides 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs, making it suitable for installations requiring integration with compatible external alarm devices.
Practical Use Scenarios
The Dahua EZ-N416PRO is designed for surveillance systems requiring up to 16 IP cameras and is particularly useful where centralised PoE connectivity and expanded local storage are required.
Typical applications include medium-sized offices and commercial premises, retail stores and supermarkets, warehouses, educational facilities, transport-related facilities, financial and professional premises, multi-level residential properties, workshops and industrial environments.
Its 16 PoE ports make it particularly practical for sites where compatible cameras are being cabled directly back to the recorder. Dual SATA storage also provides greater recording capacity than single-drive NVR configurations.
For intelligent surveillance installations, compatible cameras can add functionality such as SMD Plus, perimeter protection, face detection, face recognition, people counting, stereo analysis and heat maps.
