Product Overview
The Dahua 6-camera 6MP Turret Kit pairs six high-resolution turret cameras with an 8-channel PoE NVR and a pre-installed 2TB hard drive, delivering a complete plug-and-play IP surveillance solution. Each camera features a 1/2.9″ STARVIS CMOS sensor capturing crisp 6MP footage, a built-in microphone for audio recording, true Wide Dynamic Range (120dB), and up to 30 metres of infrared night vision. The included DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2 recorder powers all cameras over a single Ethernet cable via PoE, keeping installation clean and straightforward. This kit suits homeowners, small businesses, and light commercial sites that need reliable, high-detail coverage across multiple zones without the complexity of sourcing and matching individual components. With H.265 compression reducing storage demands and IP67-rated weatherproofing on every camera, it is a solid, all-in-one solution ready to deploy from day one.
Key Capabilities
6MP STARVIS Image Sensor
The 1/2.9″ STARVIS CMOS sensor delivers 6-megapixel resolution at 3072×2048, producing sharp, highly detailed images that make it easy to identify faces, licence plates, and fine detail even at wider angles — a significant step up from 2MP or 4MP alternatives.
30m Infrared Night Vision
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 30 metres in complete darkness, switching automatically via Day/Night ICR. This range covers driveways, large car parks, and backyard perimeters without the need for external lighting, making it a practical choice for 24-hour monitoring.
True WDR 120dB
True Wide Dynamic Range at 120dB balances bright and dark areas simultaneously within the same frame. This is essential for entranceways, doorways, and any scene where bright sunlight and deep shadows coexist, ensuring neither area is washed out or lost in darkness.
Built-in Microphone
Each camera includes an integrated microphone, enabling audio recording alongside video. This adds valuable context to footage for incident review and can serve as a deterrent when monitored live. No separate audio hardware or additional cabling is required on any of the six cameras.
8-Port PoE NVR Included
The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2 powers and records all six cameras over standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or additional wiring runs. Two ports remain spare for future camera expansion, giving this kit genuine room to grow with your security needs.
H.265 Compression with 2TB HDD
H.265 encoding reduces file sizes by up to 50% compared with H.264, meaning the pre-installed 2TB hard drive stores significantly more footage at full 6MP quality. This extends continuous recording retention without requiring immediate hard drive upgrades, keeping running costs low from day one.
IP67 Weatherproof Rating
Every camera in this kit carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, making them fully dust-tight and capable of withstanding heavy rain. This means they can be mounted outdoors in exposed locations across Australia’s varied climate conditions without risk of moisture ingress damaging the units.
Best For
- Residential Properties: Covers all key entry and exit points around a home — front door, garage, back yard, and side gates — with a single, pre-matched kit requiring no additional components.
- Small Retail or Commercial Sites: Provides enough camera coverage for a small shop, office, or light industrial premises, with resolution high enough to capture customer and staff detail reliably.
- Car Parks and Driveways: The combination of 6MP resolution, 30m IR, and true WDR makes these cameras well suited to monitoring vehicles arriving and departing, even in low-light or high-contrast conditions.
- Audio-Required Installations: Sites where audio evidence may be needed — such as disputes, incidents at reception counters, or verbal altercations — benefit directly from the built-in microphone on every camera.
- First-Time IP System Buyers: The all-in-one nature of this kit — cameras, NVR, hard drive, and cabling compatibility already matched — makes it an ideal starting point for buyers transitioning from analogue to IP surveillance.
Why Choose the Dahua 6 x 6MP Turret Kit
Budget camera kits often compromise on image resolution, night vision range, or compression efficiency — sometimes all three. This Dahua kit avoids those trade-offs by combining genuine 6MP STARVIS sensors with H.265 encoding and a 50-metre IR range, meaning you get sharper footage, longer retention on the included 2TB drive, and more reliable low-light performance than kits built around 2MP or 4MP cameras. The built-in microphone on each camera is a feature rarely included at this price point and adds real investigative value. The 8-port PoE NVR keeps the installation clean, with two spare ports for future expansion should your monitoring needs grow. Sourced through Security Wholesalers, this kit comes with the confidence of a trusted Australian distributor, ensuring product authenticity, local support, and competitive pricing. For buyers who want a complete, professional-grade system without the complexity of building one from scratch, this Dahua kit represents excellent value.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Note that this camera model does not include an SD card slot, alarm inputs/outputs, or ePOE long-range capability. If you need any of these features — for example, standalone local storage on each camera or cable runs beyond 100 metres — review the upgraded Dahua SMD kit or a model with the relevant suffix (A, S, or E) before purchasing.
Buyer Tip: An updated version of this kit is available featuring Dahua SMD (Smart Motion Detection) false alarm filtering, which significantly reduces nuisance alerts triggered by leaves, insects, or lighting changes. If false alarm management is important to your installation, the newer SMD-equipped kit is the recommended choice.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Security
Six cameras is an ideal count for comprehensive residential coverage — front entry, garage, rear yard, side access, and living areas can all be monitored simultaneously with a single NVR and no additional hardware required.
Small Retail Stores
Cover entrances, the sales floor, the counter, and the stockroom with enough resolution to clearly identify individuals and record audio during transactions or incidents, without the expense of a larger commercial system.
Warehouses and Light Industrial
The 30m IR range and IP67 rating make these cameras suitable for monitoring large open internal spaces, loading docks, and external yard areas where dust exposure and variable lighting are common challenges.
Offices and Commercial Premises
Monitor reception, corridors, server rooms, and car parks. The built-in microphone provides audio evidence for workplace incidents, while H.265 compression keeps storage requirements manageable over extended recording periods.
Car Parks and Driveways
True WDR handles the challenging contrast of headlights against dark backgrounds, while 6MP resolution provides enough detail to capture licence plates and vehicle descriptions at distance, both day and night.
Schools and Community Facilities
Outdoor-rated cameras with audio and high-resolution recording are well suited to monitoring playgrounds, entry points, and common areas of schools or community buildings, providing reliable evidence when incidents occur.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a complete, ready-to-install 6-camera IP system with 6MP resolution, built-in audio, and outdoor weatherproofing, and your cable runs are within standard 100-metre PoE distance.
- Choose a different model if: You require SMD false alarm filtering, SD card storage on individual cameras, alarm I/O connections, or ePOE long-range transmission beyond 100 metres — in which case the upgraded Dahua SMD turret kit or a camera with the appropriate feature suffix is a better fit.
FAQs
- Does this kit include everything I need to get started?
Yes. The kit includes six 6MP turret cameras, an 8-channel PoE NVR, and a 2TB hard drive pre-installed in the recorder. You will need to supply Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to run between the NVR and each camera location. No additional power supplies are required as the NVR powers the cameras over PoE.
- Do the cameras record audio as well as video?
Yes. Each DH-IPC-HDW4631EM-0280B camera includes a built-in microphone that records audio alongside video. This is stored on the NVR along with the video footage and can be played back through the recorder’s interface or via remote viewing on a compatible device.
- Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The system supports remote monitoring via the Dahua DMSS mobile application, available for both iOS and Android. Once configured on your local network, you can view live and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection.
- How long will the 2TB hard drive store footage for?
Recording duration depends on the number of active cameras, the resolution and frame rate selected, and whether continuous or motion-triggered recording is used. H.265 compression significantly reduces file sizes. As a general guide, a 2TB drive with six cameras recording at reduced quality settings can typically hold several weeks of footage before overwriting older recordings.
- Does this camera have an SD card slot for local backup?
No. The DH-IPC-HDW4631EM-0280B does not include an SD card slot. All footage is recorded directly to the NVR hard drive. If per-camera local storage is a requirement for your installation, you will need to consider a different camera model that includes an SD card slot.
- Is an updated version of this kit available?
Yes. An upgraded version featuring Dahua SMD (Smart Motion Detection) technology is available, which filters false alarms triggered by animals, insects, or moving foliage and only alerts on human or vehicle motion. Security Wholesalers stocks the newer SMD kit if you require more intelligent motion detection for your installation.
- Are the cameras suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. All six cameras carry an IP67 weatherproof rating, making them fully dust-tight and protected against heavy rain. They are suitable for exposed outdoor mounting across Australian conditions, including coastal and high-humidity environments.
- Can I expand this system beyond six cameras in the future?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2 has 8 PoE ports and supports up to 8 cameras. With six cameras used in this kit, there are two spare ports available for future expansion without needing to replace the NVR. Adding compatible Dahua IP cameras to those spare ports is straightforward.
