Product Overview
The Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8CH CCTV Kit delivers a complete 6-camera surveillance solution designed for homes, retail shops, and small offices that demand full-colour video around the clock. Equipped with WizColor technology, a large 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, wide-aperture lens, and built-in warm LEDs, each 5MP turret camera produces vivid, detailed colour footage even in near-dark conditions. It also integrates Smart Motion Detection 4.0 (SMD 4.0) across all cameras, enabling the system to distinguish people and vehicles from irrelevant movement and reduce nuisance alerts. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit pairs 6 WizColor turrets with an AI-capable 8-channel PoE NVR, leaving 2 spare channels for future expansion. Built with IP67-rated weatherproof housings and built-in microphones, the cameras are ready for tough Australian outdoor conditions while capturing audio alongside video.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Video
WizColor technology combines a large-pixel sensor, wide-aperture lens, advanced AI-ISP processing, and built-in warm LEDs to deliver vivid, true-colour footage day and night — eliminating the grainy black-and-white imagery common with standard IR cameras in low-light conditions.
SMD 4.0 False Alarm Reduction
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 classifies motion events by recognising humans and vehicles, filtering out irrelevant triggers such as pets, foliage, or passing headlights. This significantly reduces alert fatigue and makes reviewing footage faster and more efficient.
5MP High-Definition Clarity
Each camera records at 5MP resolution (2960 × 1668 at 20 fps), delivering sharp, detailed imagery suitable for identifying faces, licence plates, and key objects across entry points, driveways, and indoor areas.
Built-In Audio Recording
Integrated microphones in every camera capture audio alongside video, providing richer situational context for incident reviews. Audio anomaly detection adds an additional layer of event awareness beyond visual monitoring alone.
8-Channel PoE NVR with AI
The included NVR features 8 built-in PoE ports for plug-and-play camera connection, Smart H.265+ compression to maximise storage efficiency, full AI analytics integration, and HDMI/VGA outputs for local monitoring via a display.
Expandable System Design
With 6 cameras installed and 2 spare PoE channels available on the NVR, this kit provides immediate coverage with room to grow. Adding cameras later requires no NVR upgrade, protecting your initial investment as security needs evolve.
Best For
- Medium-Sized Homes: Cover driveways, entry points, backyards, and garages with 6 cameras, with capacity to add 2 more as needed without replacing the NVR.
- Retail Shops: Monitor customer areas, point-of-sale zones, and storerooms with AI-filtered alerts and full-colour video that captures clothing colours and facial detail even at night.
- Small Offices: Protect reception areas, server rooms, and car parks with a scalable IP system that integrates easily with mobile viewing apps.
- Properties Requiring Audio Evidence: Locations where audio context is important — such as retail environments or residential properties — benefit from the integrated microphones in every camera.
- Outdoor Installations in Harsh Conditions: IP67-rated camera housings handle rain, dust, and humidity, making this kit suitable for Australian outdoor conditions year-round.
Why Choose the Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8CH CCTV Kit
Standard CCTV kits with infrared cameras switch to black-and-white footage at night, losing critical colour detail that helps identify suspects, vehicles, and clothing. This Dahua WizColor kit eliminates that limitation entirely, maintaining full-colour video around the clock through a combination of warm LED illumination, a large-pixel 1/1.8″ sensor, and advanced AI image processing. Beyond colour performance, SMD 4.0 means alerts are triggered by actual people and vehicles — not shadows, insects, or wind-blown leaves — which dramatically reduces false alarm fatigue. The 8-channel PoE NVR simplifies installation by powering all cameras over a single Cat6 cable per camera, removing the need for separate power supplies. With built-in microphones, onboard MicroSD backup slots, and 2 spare NVR channels for future expansion, this kit offers a level of capability well above basic consumer-grade alternatives. Security Wholesalers supplies this kit with a 3-year manufacturer warranty, making it a reliable long-term investment for both residential and commercial applications.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit does not include a hard drive by default. For continuous 24/7 recording across 6 cameras at 5MP, a surveillance-class HDD of at least 4TB is recommended. Add a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive at checkout to avoid delays in getting your system operational.
Buyer Tip: The NVR supports up to 8 cameras total. If you plan to expand beyond 8 cameras in the future, consider the optional upgrade to the 16-channel NVR (DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ) at the time of purchase to avoid replacing the recorder later.

Locations Needing Colour Evidence at Night
Anywhere that demands colour identification after dark — such as driveways, car parks, or building entrances — benefits directly from WizColor’s full-colour low-light performance rather than relying on greyscale infrared footage.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 24/7 full-colour surveillance for a medium-sized property, want AI-powered false alarm filtering via SMD 4.0, and value built-in audio recording with room to expand to 8 cameras without changing the NVR.
- Choose a different model if: You require more than 8 camera channels — in that case, consider upgrading to the 16-channel NVR (DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ) available as an optional upgrade with this kit.
FAQs
- Do the cameras record in colour at night without any external lighting?
Yes. WizColor cameras use built-in warm LEDs and a large 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor to produce full-colour footage in near-dark conditions down to 0.005 Lux. When the warm LEDs are active, the minimum illumination drops to 0 Lux, meaning the cameras generate their own light and maintain colour detail without relying on external sources. - Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The NVR ships without a hard drive by default. You can select a surveillance-class HDD (WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) in the available sizes at checkout. For continuous 24/7 recording across 6 cameras, a minimum of 4TB is recommended, though higher capacities extend retention periods significantly. - How do the cameras connect to the NVR?
Each camera connects to the NVR via a single Cat6 Ethernet cable per camera. The NVR’s 8 built-in PoE ports supply both data and power over the same cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each camera location. - Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and this kit uses 6, leaving 2 spare channels. You can add up to 2 additional compatible Dahua IP cameras at any time. If you need more than 8 cameras total, the optional 16-channel NVR upgrade (DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ) is available. - What does SMD 4.0 do and how does it reduce false alarms?
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 analyses motion events and classifies them as human, vehicle, or other. Alerts are only generated for human or vehicle detections, filtering out triggers caused by animals, insects, wind-blown foliage, or changing light conditions. This significantly reduces the volume of irrelevant notifications reaching your phone or recorder. - Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The NVR supports remote access via a mobile app, allowing you to view live and recorded footage from a smartphone or tablet. Security Wholesalers can advise on setup requirements if you need assistance configuring remote access for this system. - Are the cameras suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. Each camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, which means it is fully protected against dust ingress and against sustained water immersion — making the cameras suitable for exposed outdoor locations subject to heavy rain, humidity, and dust common across Australian conditions. - Do the cameras record audio?
Yes. Every camera in this kit includes a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside video. The system also supports audio anomaly detection, which can trigger alerts based on unusual sounds such as glass breaking or raised voices.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. Cat5e is the minimum acceptable standard, though Cat6 provides better performance and headroom for future use.
- Maximum Cable Run: The maximum recommended PoE cable run is 100 m per camera from the NVR’s PoE port. Runs exceeding this distance may result in power delivery or network performance issues.
- PoE Considerations: All 8 NVR PoE ports supply power and data over the Cat6 run. No separate power supply is needed at each camera location, simplifying installation. Ensure total PoE power draw across all connected cameras does not exceed the NVR’s total PoE budget.
- Wiring Tips: Plan cable routes before installation to avoid exceeding the 100 m limit. Use weatherproof conduit for any external cable runs to protect against UV degradation and rodent damage. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available separately if required.
