Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ & DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ
Product Overview
The Dahua 24/7 WizColour 16CH CCTV Kit delivers a comprehensive 10-camera surveillance solution designed for medium-to-large properties, retail premises, warehouses, and commercial sites requiring round-the-clock colour monitoring. Featuring 10 x 5MP WizColor turret cameras paired with a 16-channel PoE NVR, each camera uses a wide-aperture lens, large-pixel 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and warm LED illumination to produce vivid colour video even in complete darkness. It also integrates Smart Motion Detection 4.0 (SMD 4.0) with human and vehicle classification, built-in microphones on every camera, and H.265+ compression for efficient storage — part of the Security Wholesalers range. This makes it suitable for operators who need immediate deployment of a scalable, AI-assisted colour CCTV system with room to expand to 16 cameras as their needs grow.
Key Capabilities
True 24/7 Colour Surveillance
WizColor technology combines a wide-aperture lens, large-pixel 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and warm LED illumination to produce vivid, full-colour video around the clock — including in complete darkness — without switching to black-and-white night vision.
5MP High-Resolution Imaging
Each camera records at 5MP (2960 × 1668) at up to 20 fps, delivering sharp, detailed footage with sufficient clarity to accurately identify faces, vehicles, and key events across wide coverage zones.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 uses AI to accurately distinguish between people and vehicles versus irrelevant movement such as pets, wind, or foliage. This dramatically reduces false alarms and speeds up event-based video search during playback.
16-Channel PoE NVR with AI
The DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ provides PoE power and data over a single Cat6 cable to each camera, supports up to 16 channels for future expansion, and includes AI analytics, H.265+ compression, HDMI/VGA outputs, and mobile app access.
Built-In Audio Capture
Every camera includes an integrated microphone, enabling simultaneous audio and video recording. This provides richer situational context and stronger evidentiary value compared to video-only surveillance systems.
IP67 Weatherproof Construction
All 10 cameras carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, making them fully resistant to dust and capable of withstanding sustained water exposure — suitable for exposed outdoor locations including eaves, carparks, and building perimeters.
Best For
- Medium-to-Large Residential Properties: Cover driveways, gardens, entry points, and garages across a large home with 10 cameras and room to expand to 16 as needed.
- Retail & Hospitality Businesses: Monitor tills, stockrooms, entrances, and customer areas with full-colour video and audio evidence available at all hours.
- Warehouses & Light Industrial Sites: Achieve broad perimeter and internal coverage with AI-assisted detection that filters out environmental triggers and focuses alerts on genuine human or vehicle activity.
- Offices & Commercial Premises: Deploy a scalable, PoE-powered system that can grow with your business without requiring additional NVR hardware until you reach 16 cameras.
- Sites Requiring Audio Evidence: Any environment where capturing spoken words, alarms, or ambient sound alongside video footage adds value to incident investigations.
Why Choose the Dahua 24/7 WizColour 16CH CCTV Kit
Unlike entry-level infrared camera kits that switch to greyscale after dark, this system maintains full vivid colour throughout the night thanks to Dahua’s WizColor technology. The combination of warm LED illumination, a wide-aperture lens, and an advanced AI image processor means that even in environments with minimal ambient lighting, footage retains the colour detail needed to identify clothing, vehicle colours, and facial features. The SMD 4.0 engine goes a step further by filtering out false motion triggers, so users receive meaningful alerts rather than constant notifications from passing shadows or weather. With 10 cameras included and capacity for 6 more, the kit offers genuine long-term value without requiring an NVR upgrade as your site grows. The H.265+ compression extends storage duration, and the built-in microphones on every camera add an audio dimension rarely found in standard CCTV kits at this price point. Security Wholesalers supports this kit with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit does not include a hard drive. For 10 cameras recording at 5MP continuously, a 4TB to 6TB surveillance-class HDD is recommended for practical retention periods. Select a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive — both are available as add-ons — as consumer-grade HDDs are not rated for the continuous write cycles of CCTV recording.
Buyer Tip: Cables and mounting brackets are not included. Each camera requires a single Cat6 cable run back to the NVR — plan your cable routes before installation and ensure runs do not exceed 100m per PoE connection to maintain reliable power and signal quality.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 10 or more cameras with full-colour 24/7 recording, AI-powered human and vehicle detection, built-in audio, and room to expand to 16 cameras without replacing the NVR.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires fewer than 10 cameras and a smaller NVR would better suit your budget and channel requirements, or if you need PTZ cameras rather than fixed turret units.
FAQs
- Do the cameras record in colour at night?
Yes. WizColor cameras use warm LED illumination and an advanced AI image sensor to capture vivid full-colour video in complete darkness. Unlike standard IR cameras that produce black-and-white night footage, these cameras maintain colour throughout the night, which is critical for identifying clothing colours, vehicle colours, and facial features after hours. - Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The NVR is supplied without an HDD. You will need to purchase a surveillance-class hard drive separately. For 10 cameras recording at 5MP, a 4TB to 6TB drive is a practical starting point. WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk drives are available as add-ons and are rated for the continuous write cycles required by CCTV systems. - Can I add more cameras to this kit later?
Yes. The NVR supports up to 16 PoE cameras. With 10 cameras included in this kit, you have 6 spare channels available for future expansion. You can add compatible Dahua PoE cameras at any time without needing to replace the NVR. - What is SMD 4.0 and why does it matter?
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 is Dahua’s AI-based filtering engine that classifies detected motion as human, vehicle, or irrelevant. This means the system generates alerts specifically for people and vehicles rather than triggering on pets, wind, or shadows. It also speeds up playback search by allowing you to filter recordings by event type. - Do all 10 cameras have built-in microphones?
Yes. Every DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ camera includes an integrated microphone with anomaly detection. Audio is recorded alongside video, providing richer context for incident reviews and stronger evidentiary records. - Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4216-16P-AI/ANZ supports remote access via mobile app and browser, allowing you to view live and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection. - Are cables and mounting brackets included?
No. Cables, brackets, and accessories are sold separately. Each camera requires a single Cat6 cable run back to the NVR. Cat6 cables and Dahua waterproof junction boxes and wall mount brackets are available as accessories through Security Wholesalers. - What is the maximum illumination range of these cameras?
Each camera’s warm LED illumination reaches up to 30 metres. This is suitable for driveways, carparks, yard areas, and building perimeters of typical residential and commercial scale. - What warranty is provided with this kit?
This kit carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering both the cameras and the NVR.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. Cat6 supports the PoE power delivery and data bandwidth required by 5MP cameras at full frame rate.
- Maximum Cable Run: Each PoE camera connection should not exceed 100m of Cat6 cable from the NVR PoE port to the camera. Runs beyond this distance may result in reduced PoE power delivery and signal degradation.
- PoE Considerations: All 16 NVR ports deliver PoE power. No separate power supply is required at each camera provided cable runs remain within 100m. For longer distances, a PoE extender may be required.
- Wiring Tips: Plan cable routes prior to installation and keep runs as direct as possible. Where cables pass through exterior walls or exposed outdoor sections, use conduit to protect against UV and physical damage. Junction boxes such as the Dahua DH-PFA130-E are recommended at each camera mounting point to protect the cable termination from moisture ingress.
