Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Video 24/7
WizColor technology combines a wide-aperture lens, large-pixel 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and AI-ISP processing to capture vivid, colour-rich footage in low-light conditions without switching to black-and-white, ensuring every event is recorded with identifiable detail.
Scalable 16-Channel NVR
The included DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ supports up to 16 PoE cameras, allowing you to begin with 8 and expand coverage as your needs grow — without replacing the recorder or adding an external switch.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 filters alerts by classifying detected objects as humans or vehicles. This dramatically reduces nuisance notifications triggered by animals, foliage, or weather, keeping monitoring focused on genuine security events.
Built-in Audio Recording
Every turret camera includes an integrated microphone with anomaly detection, recording synchronised audio alongside video to provide richer context for incidents and more reliable evidence for investigations.
Efficient H.265+ Compression
Smart H.265+ encoding significantly reduces file sizes compared to standard H.264, extending HDD storage life and lowering bandwidth usage across all 8 camera streams without compromising recorded image quality.
IP67 Weather Resistance
Each turret camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions subject to rain, dust, and humidity — ideal for Australian conditions across all seasons.
Best For
Growing Residential Properties: Homeowners who want to start with 8 cameras and expand to 16 as their coverage requirements increase, without replacing the NVR.
Retail Stores: Businesses needing continuous colour surveillance of tills, entrances, and storerooms, with AI alerts that distinguish customers from vehicles in car parks.
Offices and Commercial Premises: Sites requiring scalable, PoE-based IP camera infrastructure with centralised recording, mobile app access, and intelligent motion filtering.
Warehouses and Industrial Facilities: Environments where weather-rated cameras, broad coverage, and reliable low-light colour imaging are essential for perimeter and internal monitoring.
Sites Requiring Audio Evidence: Applications where recorded audio alongside video provides additional evidentiary value, such as reception areas, access points, or loading docks.
Why Choose the Dahua 24/7 WizColor 16CH CCTV Kit
Budget CCTV kits using standard IR cameras switch to black-and-white at night, discarding colour information precisely when it matters most for identifying individuals, clothing, or vehicle colours. This Dahua WizColor kit eliminates that limitation entirely — the warm LED illuminators and advanced image processing deliver genuine full-colour footage around the clock. Combined with SMD 4.0 AI detection, users receive meaningful alerts rather than a constant stream of false triggers from wind, shadows, or passing animals. The 16-channel NVR provides immediate scalability without hardware upgrades, and the plug-and-play PoE architecture simplifies installation considerably. Built-in microphones on every camera add an audio dimension often absent from entry-level systems. With H.265+ compression, IP67 durability, microSD backup capability, and a 3-year warranty, this kit is a professional-grade solution available through Security Wholesalers at a competitive price point that smaller systems simply cannot match for capability.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: A hard drive is not included with this kit. For 8 cameras recording continuously at 5MP with H.265+ compression, a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD provides a reasonable starting capacity. If you plan to retain longer footage archives or expand to more cameras, consider a 6TB or 8TB drive from the options listed below.
Buyer Tip: This kit includes a 16-channel NVR but only 8 cameras. If your site has clearly defined coverage needs that will not grow beyond 8 positions, verify whether a matching 8-channel NVR kit better suits your budget. However, if any future expansion is anticipated, the 16-channel NVR included here eliminates the cost of replacing the recorder later.

Ideal Use Cases
Large Residential Properties
Cover multiple entry points, driveways, and outdoor zones with 8 colour cameras, and expand to 16 later using the same NVR as the property grows or coverage needs change.
Retail Stores
Monitor tills, entrances, storerooms, and car parks with full-colour AI surveillance that distinguishes customers from vehicles, reducing unnecessary alert fatigue for staff.
Offices and Commercial Buildings
Provide scalable PoE IP camera coverage across reception areas, corridors, and external perimeters with centralised NVR recording and remote mobile app monitoring.
Warehouses and Industrial Sites
Deploy weather-rated IP67 cameras across large internal and external areas where reliable low-light colour imaging and AI-filtered motion alerts are critical for after-hours security.
Schools and Childcare Centres
Monitor entry gates, playgrounds, and car parks with colour cameras and built-in audio, capturing incidents with full visual and audio context for safety and compliance purposes.
Hospitality Venues
Restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues benefit from continuous colour recording and audio-capable cameras that capture events in full detail across busy, dimly lit environments.
Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model if: You need 8 cameras now with room to expand to 16 using the same NVR, require true 24/7 colour imaging without switching to IR night vision, and want AI-powered human and vehicle detection on every channel.
Choose a different model if: You only need 4 or fewer cameras with no plans to expand, or your installation requires optical zoom, pan-tilt-zoom capability, or a different camera form factor not covered by a fixed turret design.
FAQs
Does this kit include a hard drive?
No, a hard drive is not included. You will need to add a surveillance-grade HDD separately to enable local recording on the NVR. Compatible options including WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk drives in 2TB, 3TB, 4TB, 6TB, and 8TB capacities are listed below the product description.
How does WizColor differ from standard IR night vision?
Standard IR cameras switch to black-and-white in low light, losing colour information entirely. WizColor cameras use a wide-aperture lens, large-pixel sensor, and warm LED illuminators to maintain full-colour video throughout the night, preserving detail such as clothing colours, vehicle colours, and facial features that IR cannot capture.
Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The included DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ has 16 built-in PoE ports, so you can connect up to 8 additional cameras beyond the 8 included in this kit without replacing the recorder or adding an external PoE switch.
What does SMD 4.0 do and why does it matter?
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 uses AI to classify moving objects as humans or vehicles before triggering an alert. This filters out false alarms caused by animals, insects, blowing trees, or weather changes, ensuring notifications are relevant and reducing alert fatigue for users monitoring the system.
Are the cameras suitable for outdoor use in Australian conditions?
Yes. Each DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and water immersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. This makes it well suited to exposed outdoor locations across all Australian climate conditions.
Do the cameras record audio?
Yes. Each camera includes a built-in microphone with anomaly detection, recording audio synchronised with the video feed. This provides additional context for incidents and can strengthen evidentiary records when required.
Can I access footage remotely on my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ supports mobile app access, allowing remote viewing of live and recorded footage from a smartphone or tablet. Refer to the NVR datasheet or contact Security Wholesalers for guidance on configuring remote access for your specific network setup.
What type of cable is required to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended. The cameras connect directly to the NVR’s built-in PoE ports via Cat6, which carries both data and power in a single cable. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available to purchase alongside this kit.
What is the maximum resolution this system records at?
The cameras capture video at up to 5MP (2960 × 1668) at 20 fps, or 2688 × 1520 at 25/30 fps. The 16-channel NVR supports recording up to 16MP per channel, so it handles these resolutions without limitation.
Cabling Considerations
Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR connections, providing reliable data throughput and power delivery via PoE at the resolutions this system operates at.
Maximum Cable Run: The standard maximum PoE cable distance is 100 m per run from the NVR’s PoE port to each camera. Runs exceeding this distance will require a PoE extender or intermediate switch.
PoE Considerations: All 16 NVR ports deliver PoE power directly to connected cameras. No separate power supplies are required for the cameras, provided cable runs remain within the 100 m PoE limit.
Wiring Tips: Plan cable routes before installation to avoid running Cat6 parallel to high-voltage mains cabling where possible, as this can introduce interference. Use weatherproof conduit for any external cable runs to protect against UV degradation and physical damage. Pre-made Cat6 cables in 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, and 30 m lengths are available separately if bulk cable termination is not preferred.
