Product SKU: 4xHDW3867EM/DHI-WizsenseNVR_8CH
Product Overview
Combining 8MP turret cameras with a purpose-matched WizSense NVR, this Dahua 4-camera kit is built around properties and commercial sites that need intelligent detection and colour night vision in a single, PoE-powered package. Each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ camera delivers 3840 x 2160 resolution with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens covering 107 degrees horizontally, backed by Smart Dual Light technology that switches between IR and warm light illumination up to 30m. SMD 4.0 AI processing filters humans and vehicles from unrelated motion, reducing notification noise from animals and foliage. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ recorder provides 8 built-in PoE ports for clean single-cable installation per camera, supports up to 8 channels total, and carries onboard WizSense AI functions for smart event search. Each camera also accepts a MicroSD card up to 512GB for independent edge recording. No HDD is included and must be purchased separately.

Key Capabilities
Ultra HD 8MP Resolution
At 3840 x 2160, each camera captures enough detail to identify individuals and distinguish vehicle types across wide areas. The 107-degree horizontal field of view means fewer cameras are needed to cover driveways, yards, and building perimeters without resolution gaps.
Smart Dual Light Night Vision
Each camera carries both an IR illuminator and a warm white light, each reaching up to 30m. When triggered, the warm light produces full-colour footage rather than the greyscale image typical of IR-only cameras, making it easier to distinguish clothing colours, vehicle colours, and other identifying details after dark.
SMD 4.0 AI Detection
Smart Motion Detection 4.0 uses deep learning to distinguish humans and vehicles from other motion sources including animals, insects, and moving foliage. This reduces spurious push alerts and makes footage review faster by tagging events with colour attributes retained during detection.
8-Port PoE NVR
The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ powers and connects each camera over a single Cat6 cable per port. With 8 channels total and 4 currently populated, there is direct headroom to add up to 4 additional compatible cameras as monitoring requirements expand, without replacing the recorder.
Per-Camera Edge Storage
Each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ accepts a MicroSD card up to 512GB, allowing the camera to record locally and independently of the NVR. This provides a backup recording layer during network interruption, NVR maintenance, or unexpected disconnection events.
Built-In Microphone
A built-in microphone in each camera captures ambient audio alongside video, adding contextual detail to recorded incidents. This is particularly useful for reviewing events at entry points, retail counters, and access corridors where verbal interaction or environmental sounds may be relevant.
Best For
- Residential Properties: The wide 107-degree lens and dual-light colour night vision suit driveways, front entries, and backyard coverage where identifying people and vehicles after dark matters.
- Retail and Shopfront Environments: 8MP detail supports theft investigation and transaction review, while SMD 4.0 keeps alert traffic focused on genuine human and vehicle events rather than passing shadows or trolleys.
- Small to Medium Commercial Sites: The 8-channel NVR allows the system to scale from 4 cameras up to 8 as coverage requirements grow, without requiring a recorder replacement.
- Outdoor Installations in Variable Weather: IP67-rated cameras handle direct water ingress and are suited to external Australian conditions including rain, humidity, and dust exposure.
- Sites Requiring Recording Redundancy: Per-camera MicroSD support means footage continues to be stored locally even when the NVR is taken offline for servicing or relocation.
Why Choose the Dahua 4 x 8MP WizSense Turret Kit
Entry-level camera kits generally record at lower resolutions and rely on basic motion detection that generates excessive false alerts. This kit takes a different approach by pairing 8MP resolution with Dahua’s SMD 4.0 AI engine, which classifies detected objects at the camera level before any alert is sent. The Smart Dual Light system means colour night footage activates automatically when the warm light triggers, delivering footage that is genuinely useful for identification rather than washed-out IR images. The 8-channel PoE NVR simplifies installation to a single cable per camera and leaves 4 ports open for future expansion. The addition of per-camera MicroSD edge storage is a meaningful redundancy feature not typically found in kits at this level. Available from Security Wholesalers, this kit suits buyers who need AI-grade detection performance and colour night vision without overcomplicating the installation or system design.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: No hard drive is included with this kit. Before purchasing, calculate your required storage based on the number of active cameras, recording resolution, and how many days of footage you need to retain. For continuous 8MP recording across all 4 cameras, a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD is a practical starting point, with 6TB or 8TB options offering extended retention. Compatible drives are listed on this page for convenient add-on purchasing.
Buyer Tip: The 2.8mm fixed lens on each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ provides a wide 107-degree horizontal field of view, which suits open areas, driveways, and room coverage. If your installation requires a narrower angle to cover a long corridor, laneway, or extended fence line in detail, a camera with a longer focal length lens may be more appropriate for those specific positions.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Entries
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens and 30m dual-light illumination cover vehicle and pedestrian access points thoroughly. The warm light mode delivers colour footage at night, making it straightforward to identify visitors, vehicles, and incidents at the front of a property.
Retail Stores and Shopfronts
8MP resolution supports confident identification of individuals during theft investigations or transaction disputes. SMD 4.0 keeps alert volume manageable for staff, filtering out irrelevant motion sources so only meaningful human and vehicle events trigger notifications.
Warehouses and Outdoor Yards
IP67-rated cameras handle direct weather exposure across storage yards, loading areas, and external walls. The built-in microphone also captures ambient sound that can provide useful context for workplace incidents and safety-related reviews.
Small Commercial Offices
With 4 spare PoE channels available on the NVR, the system can grow alongside the premises. After-hours perimeter monitoring with AI-filtered motion alerts suits office environments where staff are not always present to respond to notifications immediately.
Sites Requiring Recording Redundancy
Per-camera MicroSD support up to 512GB keeps footage stored locally on each unit even when the NVR is powered down, relocated, or undergoing maintenance, providing a secondary layer of recording continuity without additional infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a complete 4-camera AI system with 8MP resolution, colour night vision, SMD 4.0 false alarm filtering, and an 8-channel PoE NVR with confirmed room to expand to 8 cameras, all in a single purchase that connects over standard Cat6 cabling.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires more than 8 camera positions, you need a kit with a hard drive pre-installed, or your layout includes long narrow approaches such as laneways or corridors where a longer focal length lens would provide better subject detail than the 2.8mm wide-angle option on these cameras.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. This kit does not include a hard drive. A compatible surveillance-grade HDD must be purchased separately before recording can begin. For continuous 8MP recording across 4 cameras, a 4TB drive is a practical baseline. Options including WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk drives in multiple capacities are listed directly on this product page. - How does Smart Dual Light work and when does the colour light activate?
Each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ carries both an IR illuminator and a warm white light. In low-light conditions, the camera can activate the warm light either automatically or triggered by motion detection. When the warm light is active, the camera records in full colour rather than switching to greyscale IR mode, producing footage with visible colour attributes such as clothing and vehicle paint that aid identification. - How many total cameras can the NVR support?
The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ supports 8 channels with 8 built-in PoE ports. This kit uses 4 of those channels, leaving 4 PoE ports available to connect additional compatible Dahua IP cameras at a later stage without any recorder upgrade required. - What does SMD 4.0 actually filter out, and does it reduce phone notifications?
SMD 4.0 uses deep learning to classify motion events as human, vehicle, or other. Triggers from animals, insects, swaying trees, and similar sources are suppressed before any alert is generated. This directly reduces push notification volume and makes event search faster since the system retains colour attributes of classified subjects for more targeted playback. - Do the cameras continue recording if the NVR loses power or is disconnected?
Yes, provided a MicroSD card is installed in each camera. Each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ supports local edge recording to a MicroSD card up to 512GB, independently of the NVR. Footage recorded to the card remains accessible after the NVR is restored and can be reviewed directly from the camera. - Are these cameras suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions?
Yes. The IP67 ingress protection rating on each DH-IPC-HDW3867EM-S-IL-ANZ means the cameras are fully sealed against dust and can withstand direct water jets. They are suited to outdoor installation in Australian environments including rain, humidity, and coastal conditions. Using waterproof junction boxes at cable entry points is recommended for long-term protection. - Can I view live footage and receive alerts on my phone?
Yes. The DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ supports remote mobile viewing and push notifications via smartphone. When SMD 4.0 detects a human or vehicle event, an alert can be sent to connected mobile devices, allowing you to review live or recorded footage remotely without needing to be on site. For further assistance with this kit, Security Wholesalers provides product support and stocks compatible accessories including HDDs, junction boxes, and wall mount brackets listed on this page.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 UTP or STP is recommended for each camera-to-NVR run. Cat6 provides sufficient bandwidth and power delivery for 8MP PoE cameras and reduces signal degradation across longer cable runs.
- Maximum Cable Run: Each PoE cable run should not exceed 100m from the NVR port to the camera. Beyond this distance, power and data integrity can degrade. For installations requiring longer runs, a PoE extender placed within the 100m limit can extend reach to the camera position.
- PoE Considerations: The NVR supplies power and data over the same Cat6 cable through each of its 8 built-in PoE ports. When adding cameras beyond the initial 4, confirm that the total PoE power draw across all connected cameras does not exceed the NVR’s maximum PoE power budget.
- Wiring Tips: Route cables through conduit wherever they pass through exposed outdoor areas or are at risk of physical damage. At each camera mounting point, use a waterproof junction box such as the Dahua DH-PFA130-E (available as an accessory on this page) to protect the cable entry point and maintain the IP67 rating of the installation.
