Series Overview

The NVR5000-EI series offers outstanding performance and high-grade

recording technology that make it ideal for IP video surveillance Face Detection
applications. It has a powerful processor, that offers high access and Face detection is to detect if there is any human face appearing in the
forwarding bandwidth and strong decoding capabilities that together video. This technology adopts a deep learning algorithm to support
produce unimpeded streams. Thanks to its built-in AI chip and Dahua's face detection, tracking, optimization and capturing, and then output
advanced deep learning algorithms, the NVR supports a variety of the best face snapshot.
AI functions, such as high-precision face recognition and perimeter
protection. They shorten the response time to events and make videos Face Recognition
more interactive. This NVR is compatible with numerous third-party Dahua Face Recognition technology extracts the features of captured
devices, making it a great solution for surveillance systems that work faces and compares them with that in face database.
