Product SKU: 4xHDW38466MP/DHI-WizsenseNVR 4CH
Product Overview
For property owners and installers who need a complete 4K IP surveillance system without sourcing components separately, this Dahua WizSense kit combines 4 x DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS 8MP turret cameras with a DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ 4-channel PoE NVR into a single ready-to-install package. Each turret camera is equipped with a Starlight sensor that maintains colour detail in low-light environments, alongside infrared LEDs providing up to 30 metres of night vision coverage. Featuring SMD 4.0 deep learning detection, the system classifies moving objects as human or vehicle while filtering out animals and irrelevant movement, so notifications remain meaningful rather than constant. The 4-port PoE NVR powers and connects all 4 cameras over individual Cat6 cable runs, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. The turret housing suits eave, soffit, and wall mounting across residential and small commercial sites.

Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Starlight Resolution
Each DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS camera records at 3840 x 2160, providing enough detail to identify faces, clothing colours, and vehicle registration plates within the field of view. The Starlight sensor maintains colour accuracy at significantly lower light levels than standard 4K sensors.
SMD 4.0 Deep Learning Detection
SMD 4.0 uses an upgraded deep learning algorithm to distinguish humans and vehicles from animals, insects, and environmental movement. This fourth-generation filtering reduces nuisance notifications while still delivering alerts when genuine activity occurs, and supports clothing colour and vehicle colour search for post-event review.
4-Channel PoE NVR Included
The DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ delivers power and data to all 4 cameras over individual Cat6 cable runs via its built-in PoE ports, removing the need for separate power adapters at each camera position. This simplifies installation planning and reduces the number of components required on site.
30m Infrared Night Vision
Built-in IR LEDs on each turret camera provide monochrome night vision coverage up to 30 metres. This makes the kit effective for monitoring driveways, building exteriors, yards, and carparks after dark without requiring supplementary lighting at the camera position.
Built-In Microphone on Each Camera
Each DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS includes a built-in microphone, capturing synchronised audio alongside the video stream. This adds an additional layer of evidentiary value for entry point monitoring and incident verification without requiring external audio hardware or additional cabling.
IP67 Weatherproof Turret Housing
All 4 cameras carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, making them fully sealed against dust and capable of withstanding water immersion. The compact turret form factor suits eave, soffit, and wall mounting positions across outdoor perimeter and entry point applications in Australian conditions.
Best For
- Residential Driveways and Entry Points: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 8MP resolution capture full-width driveway coverage with enough detail to record visitor faces and vehicle plates at close to medium range.
- Small Business Premises: A 4-camera kit covers the primary zones of a small shop, office, or warehouse, with SMD 4.0 human and vehicle detection delivering actionable alerts rather than constant motion triggers.
- Outdoor Perimeter Zones: IP67 weatherproofing and 30m IR make each camera suited to fence lines, building exteriors, and yard boundaries that require consistent overnight coverage without supplementary lighting.
- Properties with Frequent False Alarm Issues: SMD 4.0 animal and object filtering makes this kit particularly effective where previous standard motion detection systems produced excessive nuisance alerts from wildlife, trees, or passing vehicles outside the property.
- Installers Needing a Complete Plug-and-Record System: The PoE NVR and pre-matched cameras ship as a single kit, reducing procurement time and ensuring camera-to-recorder compatibility from the outset.
Why Choose the Dahua 4 x 8MP WizSense Turret Kit
Where a standard 1080p analogue kit captures broad movement, this Dahua WizSense system records at 3840 x 2160 per camera, producing footage with four times the pixel count and significantly finer detail across each scene. The DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ is a WizSense-native recorder, meaning its SMD 4.0 AI functions work directly with the DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS cameras without additional configuration steps or third-party software. The NVR also supports perimeter protection tools including tripwire and intrusion zone configuration, allowing custom boundary alerts per camera channel. Built-in microphones on every camera extend the system’s evidentiary capability without additional cost or hardware. MicroSD slots on each camera (up to 256GB per camera) provide redundant local storage independent of the NVR. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers in a no-HDD configuration, so buyers can pair it with the drive capacity that matches their retention needs.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit ships without a hard drive. A 4-camera 8MP system recording continuously at full resolution will consume storage at a considerably faster rate than a lower-resolution or motion-only setup. For most residential and small commercial installations, a 4TB drive is a practical starting point, while sites requiring 30 or more days of retention at 8MP should consider 6TB or larger. Surveillance-rated drives such as WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk are recommended over standard desktop HDDs for continuous write operation.
Buyer Tip: When SMD 4.0 AI functions are active, the DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS cameras operate at a maximum of 20fps at 8MP. Disabling AI increases the maximum frame rate to 25/30fps at the same resolution. For most fixed perimeter and entry point applications, 20fps is sufficient. If your site involves fast-moving vehicles at close range or you require the smoothest possible motion capture, weigh up whether AI detection or higher frame rate takes priority for your specific use case before configuring the system.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Front Entries
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens paired with 8MP resolution captures the full width of a standard driveway, recording vehicle plates and visitor faces with enough clarity for post-event identification. IP67 weatherproofing suits permanent eave and soffit mounting at front entries.
Small Retail and Office Sites
4 camera channels cover the primary zones of a small commercial premises, including entrance, service counter, rear exit, and carpark. SMD 4.0 human detection triggers push notifications for genuine activity rather than every passing shadow or moving branch.
Building Perimeters and Fence Lines
With IP67 weatherproofing and 30m IR, each camera is suited to monitoring fence lines, side gates, and building exteriors in all weather conditions. The NVR’s tripwire and intrusion zone tools allow custom boundary alerts configured per camera channel.
Carparks and Loading Areas
The Starlight sensor maintains colour image performance in poorly lit carparks and undercover loading docks where standard sensors struggle. The 8MP resolution supports vehicle plate capture and identification of individuals across the width of a bay or access lane.
Properties with Wildlife False Alarm History
SMD 4.0’s upgraded animal filtering makes this kit well suited to rural, semi-rural, and suburban properties where wildlife movement has historically triggered constant nuisance alerts. Only human and vehicle classifications generate push notifications by default.
Rental and Investment Properties
The PoE-powered design and pre-matched camera-NVR combination reduces installation time on rental properties. Built-in microphones provide audio evidence at entry points, while remote mobile viewing lets property managers monitor sites without being on-site.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a complete 4-camera 8MP PoE IP system with WizSense AI detection, built-in microphones, Starlight low-light performance, and 30m IR night vision for a home, small business, or outdoor perimeter application with up to 4 coverage zones.
- Choose a different model if: You require more than 4 camera channels, need a varifocal lens rather than the fixed 2.8mm focal length included in this kit, or need IR coverage extending beyond 30 metres for long driveways or large open yards. A larger NVR kit or a camera model with a longer IR range would be more appropriate for those scenarios.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ has an internal HDD bay but ships without a drive. This allows buyers to select the storage capacity that suits their retention requirements. Compatible surveillance-rated drives including WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk models are available to purchase separately through Security Wholesalers and can be added to the cart from the options shown below. - What camera resolution and frame rate does this kit support?
Each DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS camera records at 8MP (3840 x 2160). With SMD 4.0 AI functions active, the maximum frame rate at 8MP is 20fps. Disabling AI allows recording at up to 25 or 30fps at the same resolution. Both modes record to the DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ over the built-in PoE connection. - How does SMD 4.0 differ from standard motion detection?
Standard motion detection triggers on any pixel change within the frame, including animals, blowing leaves, and passing car headlights. SMD 4.0 uses a deep learning algorithm trained to classify objects as human, vehicle, or other. The fourth-generation upgrade specifically adds filtering for both small and large animals. Only human and vehicle detections trigger push notifications by default, which substantially reduces the number of irrelevant alerts received on a busy outdoor property. - How far can the cameras see at night?
Each camera has a built-in IR LED array with a maximum effective range of 30 metres. In complete darkness the cameras switch to monochrome IR mode automatically and maintain clear image capture up to that distance. The Starlight sensor also extends usable colour video into dusk and low ambient light conditions before IR takes over. - Are the cameras suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. Each DH-IPC-HDW3866EMP-S-AUS carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning it is fully sealed against dust ingress and rated to withstand temporary water immersion. The cameras are designed for permanent outdoor mounting and are suited to Australian conditions including heavy rain, high humidity, and sustained outdoor heat. - Do the cameras have audio recording capability?
Yes. Each camera includes a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside the video stream. Audio is recorded to the NVR in synchronisation with the video channel. This is useful for verifying the nature of an incident at an entry point and provides additional evidentiary detail without requiring external microphones or additional audio cabling. - Can I view and manage this system remotely from my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4104HS-P-AI/ANZ supports remote access via the Dahua mobile app, allowing you to view live streams from all 4 cameras, review recorded footage, and receive push notifications based on SMD 4.0 human and vehicle detection events. Remote viewing requires the NVR to be connected to a network with internet access. - What cabling is required, and how many cable runs are needed?
Each camera connects to the NVR using a single Cat6 Ethernet cable that carries both power (via PoE IEEE 802.3af) and video data. Four separate cable runs are required, one per camera, running from each camera position back to the NVR. No separate power cables or adapters are needed at the camera end, provided each cable run stays within the 100 metre PoE limit per IEEE 802.3af standards.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs to ensure stable PoE power delivery and reliable 8MP video bandwidth across each channel.
- Maximum Cable Run: Individual PoE cable runs must not exceed 100 metres per IEEE 802.3af standards. Runs beyond this distance risk power loss, video dropouts, or failure to power the camera entirely.
- PoE Considerations: All 4 cameras draw power directly from the NVR’s built-in PoE ports. No external power injectors or adapters are required provided each cable run remains within the 100m limit. If a camera position requires a longer run, a PoE extender placed within the first 100m segment can extend the effective distance.
- Wiring Tips: Plan and route all cable paths before installation. Use conduit or UV-rated cable clips for any outdoor runs to protect against UV degradation and physical damage. Terminate all cables using T568B wiring standard with quality RJ45 connectors for consistent results. Test each run with a cable tester before final camera installation to avoid troubleshooting after the cameras are mounted.
