Overview
An 8U rack-mounted matrix host, the Dahua M80-S24 routes camera feeds, encoded streams and computer signals to video walls. It offers 24 slots for audio and video cards, splicing across up to 96 screens and 16 video walls, and 100-240 VAC power input. It suits security operations centres, transport control rooms and university operations rooms in Doha that need a scalable controller. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar to define the card set for your wall.
What the Dahua M80-S24 does
An 8U rack-mounted matrix host, the Dahua M80-S24 sits at the centre of a monitoring room and decides what appears on each screen of a video wall. It routes camera feeds, encoded streams and computer signals to the displays, and lets operators change layouts from the touch screen on the unit, a web page, a desktop client, a mobile client or a network keyboard. It is built for control rooms that need dependable switching rather than a simple video splitter.
Capacity, cards and wall size
The chassis provides 24 slots for audio and video cards, and those cards can be placed in any slot, so the configuration can grow with the number of sources and screens. The VEC0205EHP-M80 input card takes two HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.2 inputs and encodes in H.265. The VEC0405HH-M80 takes four HDMI 1.3 inputs. On the output side, the VDC0405EH decoding card provides four HDMI 2.0 outputs. A full configuration supports splicing across up to 96 screens and up to 16 video walls, with split layouts such as 4, 9, 16 and 36 windows plus custom M x N layouts.
Reliability for machine rooms and control rooms
The platform runs an embedded Linux operating system and includes the following power and cooling features:
- Power: 100-127 VAC or 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz, with consumption of up to 1,200 W.
- Controllers: one main control board as standard, with a dual board available as an option that switches over without changing the displayed wall content.
- Power supply: one supply as standard; a dual supply is optional and is advisable where downtime is costly.
- Cooling: eight smart fans, with a conference room mode for fan control.
- Operating range: -10 °C to +50 °C and 10% to 90% humidity, non-condensing.
Where it fits in Qatar
A security operations centre in Doha, perhaps in West Bay or Msheireb, can use the unit to bring several camera networks onto one wall. It accepts up to 10,000 network channels and lists ONVIF and RTSP interoperability, which suits mixed camera estates. A transport or logistics control room in the Industrial Area or near Hamad International Airport can use scenes and scheduled scenario tours to change wall content by time of day. A university operations room in Education City can use the 128 scenes and presets to switch between teaching, events and emergency layouts.
Planning the installation
Before ordering, confirm the rack. The host measures 354.8 mm high, 484.0 mm wide and 409.2 mm deep, and weighs 23 kg net and 28 kg gross, so plan for two people to lift it. Qatar summers regularly exceed 45 °C outdoors, so keep the host in an air-conditioned room with a clear margin below its 50 °C upper limit rather than in an unventilated cabinet. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check rack depth, airflow, cable runs and power circuits, then matches the card set to your number of sources and screens.

Questions about M80-S24
What is the Dahua M80-S24 used for?
It is a video matrix platform host that routes camera feeds, encoded streams and computer signals to video walls. Operators control layouts from the 8-inch touch screen on the unit, a web page, a desktop client, a mobile client or a network keyboard. It suits control rooms in Doha that run multi-screen displays for security or operations monitoring, where routing and layout control are the core requirement.
How many inputs and outputs can a fully configured unit handle?
The data gives a full configuration of up to 96 channels of 4K signal output through HDMI, and input of up to 96 channels at 1080p@60 Hz or 48 channels at 4K@60 Hz. Actual channel counts depend on the audio and video cards fitted into the 24 available slots. SmartRooms Qatar will match the card set to your sources and screens in the quotation.
Can one unit drive a large video wall?
Splicing supports up to 96 screens and up to 16 video walls. Split layouts include 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 25 and 36 windows, plus custom M x N splits. The unit supports up to 128 scenes and 128 presets. For a large boardroom or operations wall, share the screen count and layout in your request so the card configuration matches the wall.
Does it support dual controllers and dual power?
A single main control board and a single power supply are standard. Dual main controller boards and dual power supply are optional configurations. Dual power is advisable for a machine room or control room where downtime is costly. Request both options in your quotation if you need controller switchover without changing the displayed wall content, or power redundancy.
What ports and network connections does it have?
It has four 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports and two 10 Gbps optical ports, with network link aggregation. Serial control is available through two RS-232 and two RS-485 ports. USB includes one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, plus a Type-C port that supports USB 2.0 and 3.5 mm audio jacks. Supported protocols include TCP/IP, RTP, RTSP, RTCP, UDP and DHCP.
Which video formats and codecs does it handle?
Encoding uses H.265. Decoding covers H.264 and H.265, and the decoding card specification also lists MJPEG, MPEG4, SVAC and MPEG2. Resolutions decode from D1 up to 32 MP, but 32 MP and 16 MP decoding is only available with H.265. Check the codec and resolution of your cameras before ordering so the decoding capacity is matched correctly.
Can it operate in Doha's summer heat?
The operating temperature range is -10 °C to +50 °C, with 10% to 90% humidity, non-condensing. Qatar summers regularly exceed 45 °C outdoors, so install the host in an air-conditioned comms or control room rather than an unventilated cabinet. Confirm the room's cooling capacity during the site survey, and keep the equipment away from dust sources.
Is it compatible with Qatar's 240 V mains supply?
The power input is 100-127 VAC or 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz, with power consumption of up to 1,200 W. Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply falls within that input range. Confirm the power cable and plug type with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation so the lead suits the BS 1363 sockets in your room.
How much rack space and weight should I plan for?
The host is 8U high and measures 354.8 mm high, 484.0 mm wide and 409.2 mm deep. It weighs 23 kg net and 28 kg gross. It mounts in a standard 19-inch rack. Plan for two people to lift it, confirm rack depth and load rating, and leave clear space around the vents for airflow.
Can it be integrated with existing cameras and third-party systems?
The data lists interoperability with ONVIF, RTSP, Hikvision Private and Dahua Private protocols, and supports network channels up to 10,000. It also provides an SDK for secondary development. Share your camera make, model and VMS details during the site survey so SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the integration path before you approve the quotation.
Which organisations is this model best suited to?
It suits organisations that need a scalable matrix platform, such as security operations centres, transport control rooms, and university operations rooms in Education City. For a small meeting room wall with few sources, a simpler controller may be a better fit. Send your source count and wall size, and SmartRooms Qatar will recommend the right configuration in the quotation.
How do I order for an LPO or a government tender?
SmartRooms Qatar supplies against purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment is by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order, and delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar. Before the quotation is finalised, we offer a free site survey to confirm rack space, power and cabling. Request a quote with your tender reference.
