Product SKU: DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ & DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ
Product Overview
The Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8CH CCTV Kit delivers a complete 4-camera IP surveillance solution designed for homeowners and small businesses seeking vivid colour video around the clock. Featuring 4 x 5MP WizColor turret cameras paired with an AI-enabled 8-channel PoE NVR, this kit provides full-colour imaging day and night using warm LED illumination, a large 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and wide aperture optics. It integrates SMD 4.0 smart detection to accurately classify humans and vehicles, reducing nuisance alerts from environmental movement, and is part of the Security Wholesalers range. This makes it well suited to residential properties, small retail premises, and light commercial sites that require reliable colour evidence footage with built-in audio recording. The 8-channel NVR also provides capacity to expand beyond the initial 4 cameras as monitoring needs grow.
Key Capabilities
Full-Colour Night Imaging
Dahua WizColor combines warm LED illumination, a large-pixel 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, and advanced ISP processing to produce vibrant, true-to-life colour video even in near-darkness, eliminating the black-and-white footage typical of standard IR cameras.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 accurately distinguishes humans and vehicles from animals, foliage, or weather movement, significantly reducing false alarm rates and making video search faster and more reliable during incident review.
8-Channel PoE NVR
The included NVR provides 8 built-in PoE ports for simple plug-and-play camera connections with no separate power supplies required. With capacity for up to 8 cameras, the system can be expanded well beyond the initial 4-camera setup.
Built-in Audio Recording
Every camera in this kit includes an integrated microphone, capturing audio alongside video for richer situational evidence. Audio anomaly detection is also supported, adding an additional layer of awareness to the system.
Efficient H.265+ Compression
Smart H.265+ compression dramatically reduces file sizes compared to older H.264 encoding, stretching HDD storage capacity further and lowering long-term costs while maintaining high-quality 5MP video retention.
IP67 Weatherproof Housing
Each turret camera carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, making it fully resistant to dust and capable of withstanding heavy rain and water jets — suitable for exposed outdoor locations including eaves, carports, and building facades.
Best For
- Residential Properties: Homeowners wanting vivid colour footage of driveways, entrances, and backyards without sacrificing night-time image quality.
- Small Retail & Shopfronts: Businesses needing audio-enabled cameras covering tills, entrances, and aisles with the ability to add more cameras as the site grows.
- Light Commercial Sites: Offices, warehouses, and light industrial premises requiring reliable outdoor cameras with smart human and vehicle detection to minimise unnecessary alerts.
- Future-Expansion Installations: Anyone starting with 4 cameras but wanting a system that supports up to 8 channels without replacing the NVR.
- Audio-Evidence Applications: Installations where sound capture is important for incident documentation, dispute resolution, or compliance purposes.
Why Choose the Dahua 24/7 WizColor 8CH CCTV Kit
Standard budget CCTV kits typically switch to black-and-white infrared footage after dark, losing the colour detail that makes footage useful for identifying people, vehicles, and clothing. This Dahua WizColor kit maintains full-colour video 24/7 using warm LED illumination and a high-sensitivity 1/1.8″ sensor — delivering footage that is far more actionable as evidence. SMD 4.0 AI detection adds further value by filtering out false alerts caused by animals or weather, so the system only notifies you when it matters. The inclusion of built-in microphones on every camera means audio context is captured automatically. With 8 PoE channels on the NVR, you have genuine room to grow the system. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, this kit represents strong long-term value, and Security Wholesalers offers it as a fully matched, tested package ready for professional or DIY installation.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit does not include a hard drive. Before installing, select a surveillance-rated HDD (such as WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) from the options below. The number of days of recording you can store depends on the HDD capacity you choose, the number of cameras active, and the resolution and frame rate settings on the NVR.
Buyer Tip: Each camera is powered via PoE directly from the NVR, so no separate power adaptors are required. Ensure each Cat6 cable run from the NVR to each camera location does not exceed 100 metres to maintain reliable PoE delivery and network performance.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Security
Ideal for monitoring driveways, front doors, garages, and backyards with full-colour night footage that clearly captures faces, clothing, and vehicle colours for evidence or identification.
Retail & Shopfronts
Audio-enabled cameras cover tills, entrances, and aisles with AI detection filtering out irrelevant motion. The 8-channel NVR allows additional cameras to be added as the business grows.
Small Commercial Premises
Offices, workshops, and light industrial sites benefit from IP67-rated outdoor cameras and smart human/vehicle classification that delivers relevant alerts without overwhelming staff with false notifications.
Expandable Starter Systems
Start with 4 cameras and add up to 4 more to the same NVR without any hardware upgrade. Suitable for sites where surveillance requirements are expected to grow over time.
Car Parks & Driveways
WizColor imaging captures vehicle colour, make, and licence plate detail even at night, while vehicle classification in SMD 4.0 ensures movement alerts are triggered by actual vehicles rather than environmental factors.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You want full-colour 24/7 surveillance with AI detection, built-in audio, and the flexibility to expand to 8 cameras on a single NVR.
- Choose a different model if: You require more than 8 camera channels, need PTZ cameras, or are looking for a kit that includes a pre-installed hard drive.
FAQs
- Do these cameras record in colour at night?
Yes. WizColor technology uses built-in warm LED illumination combined with a large-pixel 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor and wide aperture to produce full-colour video in low-light conditions. The LEDs activate automatically when ambient light drops below the camera’s threshold, maintaining colour detail up to 30 metres. - Is a hard drive included with this kit?
No. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ NVR is supplied without a hard drive. You will need to add a surveillance-rated HDD (such as WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk) for local recording. Options are listed below the product on the page. - Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The 8-channel NVR supports up to 8 cameras in total. This kit includes 4 cameras, leaving 4 PoE ports available for future expansion. Additional compatible Dahua cameras can be connected directly to the spare NVR ports. - What type of cable do I need to connect the cameras?
Each camera connects to the NVR via a standard Cat6 Ethernet cable. The NVR’s built-in PoE ports supply both data and power through a single cable run. Keep each run under 100 metres for reliable PoE delivery. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available separately through Security Wholesalers. - Do the cameras record audio?
Yes. Each DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ turret camera includes a built-in microphone. Audio is recorded alongside video and stored on the NVR. The cameras also support audio anomaly detection as an additional alert trigger. - What is SMD 4.0 and why does it matter?
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection 4.0) is Dahua’s AI-based detection engine that classifies motion events as human, vehicle, or other. This prevents false alarms triggered by animals, blowing leaves, or weather, ensuring that alerts and recorded clips are relevant and easier to search through during incident review. - Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ supports remote access via Dahua’s mobile applications. Once the NVR is connected to your network, you can view live and recorded footage from a smartphone or tablet using the app. - What warranty is provided with this kit?
This kit carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering both the cameras and the NVR. This is a confirmed specification for both the DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ and the DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ as supplied in this package.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR connections. Cat5e is the minimum acceptable standard but Cat6 is preferred for reliability and future-proofing.
- Maximum Cable Run: Each camera run should not exceed 100 metres from the NVR’s PoE port to maintain stable power delivery and network performance.
- PoE Considerations: All 4 cameras are powered directly by the NVR’s built-in PoE ports — no external power supplies are required. The standard PoE maximum distance of 100 metres applies per camera run.
- Wiring Tips: Run cables through wall cavities or conduit where possible to protect against weather and physical damage. Pre-made Cat6 cables in 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, and 30 m lengths are available separately if you do not wish to terminate your own cable ends.
