Product Overview
The Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8-camera kit delivers a complete colour surveillance solution designed for homes, offices, and retail environments requiring full-site coverage. Featuring 8 x 5MP WizColor turret cameras paired with an 8-channel PoE NVR, this kit produces vibrant, true-colour video around the clock using large-aperture optics, AI-ISP processing, and integrated warm LED illumination. It also includes built-in microphones on every camera, capturing audio evidence alongside high-resolution video. This system is part of the Security Wholesalers range, offering a reliable, AI-powered setup straight out of the box. Common use cases include large residential properties, busy retail stores, and commercial premises where identifying faces, vehicles, and activity in full colour — day or night — is a priority.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
WizColor technology combines a large-aperture lens, 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and warm LED illumination to deliver vivid, true-colour video even in near-darkness. Unlike traditional IR cameras, this system preserves colour detail at night so you can identify people, clothing, and vehicles with clarity.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 accurately classifies humans and vehicles, filtering out false alerts caused by animals, foliage, or weather changes. Intrusion and tripwire detection provide additional layers of intelligent alerting, reducing alarm fatigue and keeping your attention on genuine security events.
8-Channel PoE Simplicity
The included NVR features 8 built-in PoE ports, allowing cameras to draw power and transmit video over a single Cat6 cable per camera. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies at each camera location, simplifying installation across multi-room or multi-entrance properties.
Integrated Audio on Every Camera
Each of the 8 turret cameras includes a built-in microphone with anomaly detection, capturing audio evidence alongside video. This supports richer situational awareness, assists in incident review, and provides an additional layer of documentation when audio is relevant to an event.
Smart H.265+ Storage Efficiency
The NVR and cameras both support Smart H.265+ compression, which significantly reduces file sizes compared to standard H.264 without sacrificing image quality. This means you can store more footage on a smaller HDD, stretching your recording history further on the same drive capacity.
IP67 All-Weather Durability
All 8 cameras carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning they are fully sealed against dust and can withstand heavy rain and water jets. This makes them equally reliable whether mounted outdoors under an eave, on a fence line, or inside a dusty warehouse environment.
Best For
- Large Residential Properties: Cover all entrances, driveways, backyards, and shared spaces simultaneously with all 8 channels active, ensuring full perimeter visibility day and night in colour.
- Retail Shops & Boutiques: Monitor customer traffic, staff areas, and stockrooms with AI-powered human and vehicle detection, plus audio capture for comprehensive incident documentation.
- Offices & Business Premises: Secure multiple access points and internal zones across an office or commercial building with colour-rich 5MP footage and intelligent alert filtering.
- Warehouses & Storage Facilities: Deploy across large indoor areas where both colour imaging and IP67 dust resistance are required to maintain reliable surveillance in challenging environments.
- Sites Requiring Audio Evidence: Locations where capturing spoken interactions, alarms, or ambient sounds alongside video provides stronger evidence for investigations or insurance purposes.
Why Choose the Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8CH CCTV Kit
A standard IR-based CCTV kit will show you black-and-white footage at night — useful for detecting motion, but limited when you need to identify a person’s clothing, a vehicle’s colour, or specific details in low light. This Dahua WizColor kit solves that problem by delivering genuine full-colour video around the clock, without relying on visible white-light floodlights that can be intrusive or easily noticed. The SMD 4.0 AI detection goes well beyond basic motion sensing, classifying humans and vehicles specifically so you receive fewer nuisance alerts. With 8 IP67-rated cameras, a PoE NVR, built-in audio on every camera, onboard microSD backup, and Smart H.265+ compression, this kit provides enterprise-grade capabilities in a practical package. Security Wholesalers supplies this kit as a matched, tested combination, giving buyers confidence that the cameras and NVR are fully compatible and ready to deploy with minimal setup effort.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit does not include a hard drive. To enable local recording, add a surveillance-class HDD (WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) when ordering. For 8 cameras recording continuously at 5MP, a 4TB or 6TB drive is recommended to achieve a practical retention period of several days to weeks depending on your motion activity settings.
Buyer Tip: Each camera requires a single Cat6 cable run back to the NVR for both power (PoE) and video. Plan your cable routes before installation — the NVR’s PoE ports support runs up to 100m per camera, so measure carefully from each camera location to the NVR placement point to avoid cable shortfalls.

Ideal Use Cases
Large Homes & Acreage
Cover all entry points, driveways, side gates, and outdoor areas with all 8 channels in use. WizColor ensures after-dark footage is in full colour so intruders and vehicles are clearly identifiable without relying on separate lighting.
Retail Stores
Monitor shopfloors, fitting rooms, stock areas, and entry points. AI human detection and audio capture provide strong evidence for theft incidents, while 5MP resolution allows staff and customer faces to be identified clearly.
Offices & Commercial Buildings
Secure reception areas, car parks, server rooms, and multiple internal zones from a single NVR. Smart H.265+ compression keeps storage costs manageable even when recording continuously across 8 cameras.
Warehouses & Industrial Sites
IP67-rated cameras handle dust and moisture in industrial environments. Full-colour imaging helps distinguish between authorised staff and unauthorised individuals even in large, dimly lit spaces.
Child Care & Education Facilities
Audio and video capture across 8 cameras supports duty-of-care obligations. SMD 4.0 alerts staff to unexpected human movement in restricted areas, providing both a deterrent and a reliable audit trail.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need 8 cameras with 24/7 full-colour imaging, AI-powered human and vehicle detection, built-in audio, and a plug-and-play PoE NVR for a property with multiple zones to cover simultaneously.
- Choose a different model if: You only require coverage of 1–4 locations, do not need full-colour night imaging, or prefer a smaller kit with fewer cameras to minimise upfront cost and cabling requirements.
FAQs
- Do the cameras record in colour at night without any external lighting?
Yes. WizColor cameras use integrated warm LED illuminators combined with a large-aperture lens and a 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor to produce full-colour video in very low light conditions. The warm LEDs activate automatically when ambient light drops, providing up to 30 m of colour illumination without requiring separate floodlights. - Is a hard drive included with this kit?
No. The NVR is supplied without a hard drive by default. You will need to add a surveillance-class HDD — such as a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk — to enable continuous local recording. These are available separately, with size options ranging from 2TB to 8TB depending on your required retention period. - How many cameras can this NVR support?
The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ supports up to 8 IP cameras and features 8 built-in PoE ports. All 8 ports are utilised by the cameras included in this kit, so the system is operating at full channel capacity as supplied. - What cabling is required to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Each camera connects to the NVR using a single Cat6 Ethernet cable, which carries both power (via PoE) and the video signal. No separate power cabling is required at each camera location. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available separately to suit different installation distances. - Can I access the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ supports mobile app access, allowing you to view live and recorded footage from your smartphone or tablet. This feature is confirmed by Security Wholesalers as part of the NVR’s standard functionality when connected to your network. - What does SMD 4.0 mean and why does it matter?
SMD 4.0 stands for Smart Motion Detection version 4.0. It uses AI algorithms to distinguish between humans, vehicles, and other movement sources such as animals or blowing foliage. This significantly reduces false alarm notifications, meaning you are only alerted when a genuine human or vehicle is detected within your defined zones. - Do the cameras support local backup storage?
Yes. Each DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ camera includes a microSD card slot supporting cards up to 256 GB. This allows each camera to store footage locally as a backup, providing continuity of recording even if the NVR becomes temporarily unavailable or network connectivity is interrupted. - Are the cameras suitable for outdoor installation in harsh weather?
Yes. All 8 cameras carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, which means they are completely sealed against dust and protected against water immersion. This makes them suitable for exposed outdoor positions including eaves, fences, and external walls subject to heavy rain.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. This carries both PoE power and video data over a single cable per camera, eliminating the need for separate power wiring at each camera location.
- Maximum Cable Run: Each PoE cable run from the NVR to an individual camera should not exceed 100 m. Beyond this distance, signal quality and PoE power delivery may degrade, potentially causing connection instability or camera dropouts.
- PoE Considerations: The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ provides PoE power directly from its 8 built-in ports. No external PoE switch or injector is required. Ensure each cable run stays within the 100 m maximum PoE distance to maintain stable power and data transmission.
- Wiring Tips: Plan cable routes before installation and measure each run carefully. For outdoor cable paths, use conduit or UV-rated cable management to protect Cat6 cables from sun degradation and physical damage. If runs need to pass through walls or ceilings, consider pre-pulling cables before mounting cameras to avoid access issues later.
