It is part of the Security Wholesalers range, offering a reliable combination of AI-powered detection and straightforward PoE installation. This model includes SMD 4.0 smart motion detection to filter false alarms by distinguishing humans and vehicles from irrelevant movement. The compact 4-channel NVR supports H.265+ compression for efficient storage and provides remote viewing via Dahua’s mobile app, making this kit an accessible yet capable surveillance package for properties requiring 24/7 colour monitoring.
Key Capabilities
24/7 Full-Colour Imaging
WizColor technology combines a large-pixel sensor, wide aperture, and warm LED illumination to produce vivid, full-colour footage at night. Unlike standard IR cameras that produce black-and-white images in darkness, this system maintains colour detail around the clock for stronger evidence and easier identification.
SMD 4.0 Smart Motion Detection
SMD 4.0 analyses motion events to separate humans and vehicles from irrelevant triggers such as pets, foliage, or weather. This significantly reduces nuisance alerts, ensures notifications are actionable, and speeds up event search during footage review.
5MP High-Definition Resolution
Each camera records at 5MP resolution, delivering sharp footage capable of capturing fine details such as facial features, number plates, and clothing. Greater image clarity directly supports more reliable identification and stronger incident records.
Plug-and-Play PoE Installation
The 4-channel NVR includes built-in PoE ports, allowing each camera to receive both power and data through a single Cat6 cable. This eliminates the need for separate power runs, simplifying installation and reducing cabling costs for the installer.
Integrated Audio Capture
Every turret camera includes a built-in microphone, recording audio alongside video footage. This adds valuable context to security events, supports abnormality detection, and can strengthen evidence in the event of an incident or insurance claim.
IP67 Weatherproof Construction
The turret cameras carry an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning they are fully sealed against dust and capable of withstanding water immersion. This makes them equally suitable for covered outdoor positions and indoor applications in demanding environments.

Why Choose the Dahua WizColor 4CH CCTV Kit
Standard infrared cameras switch to black-and-white at night, losing colour detail that is often critical for identifying people, clothing, and vehicle colours. The WizColor kit solves this by using warm LED illumination alongside an advanced image sensor to retain full colour in low-light conditions. Paired with SMD 4.0, the system moves beyond simple motion alerts to deliver targeted notifications based on confirmed human or vehicle detection, reducing wasted time reviewing irrelevant recordings. The included 4-channel PoE NVR keeps installation clean and straightforward, requiring only a single Cat6 cable per camera. H.265+ compression maximises storage efficiency, and remote access via Dahua’s app means monitoring is accessible from anywhere. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit represents a strong balance of advanced AI features, colour performance, and ease of installation for both trade professionals and security-conscious property owners.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit does not include a hard drive. Before purchasing, calculate your required storage based on the number of cameras, recording resolution, and how many days of footage you need to retain. For 4 cameras recording continuously at 5MP with H.265+ compression, a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD will typically provide several weeks of storage. Select a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive from the HDD options below, as consumer-grade drives are not rated for 24/7 surveillance workloads.
Buyer Tip: The cameras in this kit support onboard MicroSD storage (up to 256GB per camera), which can serve as a useful backup recording option if the NVR becomes unavailable. Consider adding MicroSD cards to each camera during installation to provide an independent, camera-level recording layer for added redundancy.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a complete 4-camera PoE system with 24/7 full-colour imaging, AI-based false alarm filtering, and audio recording for a home, small office, or retail environment.
- Choose a different model if: You require more than 4 camera positions, need a higher channel NVR, or require a hard drive included in the base package — in which case a larger kit or separate NVR with bundled HDD may be more appropriate.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. This kit is supplied without a hard drive. You will need to add a surveillance-grade HDD — such as a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk — to enable local recording on the NVR. Storage options in 2TB, 3TB, 4TB, 6TB, and 8TB capacities are available to add from the selection below the product description. - Will the cameras record in colour at night without additional lighting?
Yes. Each WizColor turret camera includes built-in warm LED illuminators that activate in low-light conditions, allowing the camera to capture full-colour footage up to 30 metres in darkness. No external lighting is required for the warm LEDs to function. - How are the cameras connected to the NVR?
The cameras connect to the NVR via standard Cat6 Ethernet cable. The NVR has 4 built-in PoE ports, meaning each camera receives both power and video data through a single cable run. No separate power supply is needed at each camera location, which significantly simplifies installation. - Can I view footage remotely on my phone?
Yes. The NVR supports remote access via Dahua’s mobile app. Once the NVR is connected to your local network and the app is configured, you can view live and recorded footage from your smartphone or tablet from anywhere with an internet connection. - What is SMD 4.0 and why does it matter?
SMD 4.0 (Smart Motion Detection 4.0) is an AI-based filtering system that analyses motion events and classifies them as human, vehicle, or other. This means you receive alerts only for relevant activity, rather than being notified every time a tree moves in the wind or an animal crosses the frame. It substantially reduces false alarm fatigue over time. - Do I need professional installation for this kit?
The PoE plug-and-play design makes this kit accessible to competent DIY installers. However, for in-wall cabling, roof cavity runs, or commercial installations, a licensed security installer is recommended. Security Wholesalers supplies this kit to both trade professionals and direct customers, so the level of installation support required will depend on your specific site. - Can the cameras store footage independently of the NVR?
Yes. Each turret camera includes a MicroSD card slot supporting up to 256GB of onboard storage. If a MicroSD card is installed, the camera can record footage locally, providing a secondary backup layer independent of the NVR. - Are cables and mounting brackets included in the kit?
No. Cables, wall mount brackets, and junction boxes are sold separately. Compatible Cat6 cables and Dahua-branded accessories are available to add from the accessory sections below the product description.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera runs to the NVR’s PoE ports, ensuring reliable data transmission and adequate power delivery at the camera end.
- Maximum Cable Run: PoE cable runs should not exceed 100 metres per camera without the use of a PoE extender, as signal and power quality will degrade beyond this distance.
- PoE Considerations: All 4 cameras are powered via PoE from the NVR. Ensure the total power budget of the NVR is not exceeded; refer to the NVR datasheet for per-port and total PoE wattage limits before selecting cameras with high power requirements.
- Wiring Tips: Run cables before finalising camera mounting positions. Where cables exit externally, use a waterproof junction box (such as the Dahua DH-PFA130-E available separately) to protect cable entry points from moisture ingress, particularly in exposed outdoor locations.
