Product SKU: CT-ANE-KIT-8CH4CAM
Product Overview
Small business owners and installers looking for a straightforward, camera-to-recorder solution will find the Hanwha Vision A Series Kit CT-ANE-KIT-8CH4CAM a well-matched starting point. The kit pairs 4 x ANE-L7012R Flateye cameras with the ARN-810S 8-channel PoE NVR pre-loaded with a 4TB HDD, giving installers a plug-and-play foundation that can be running within hours of mounting. Each ANE-L7012R captures 4MP footage through a fixed 3mm lens with up to 20m IR night vision, while the ARN-810S handles up to 8 cameras at resolutions up to 8MP. With 8 built-in PoE+ ports sharing a 65W budget, a single Cat6 cable carries both power and video to each camera. The NVR outputs to a 4K HDMI display, supports remote viewing via P2P QR code connection and the Wisenet Mobile app, and includes dual-track recording for flexible storage management. Four channels remain free for future expansion.
Key Capabilities
Plug-and-Play PoE System
The ARN-810S includes 8 built-in PoE+ ports with a 65W shared budget, allowing each ANE-L7012R camera to receive both power and data over a single Cat6 cable. No separate power supplies or injectors are needed, which keeps installations tidy and reduces labour time significantly.
4MP Flateye Camera Design
Each ANE-L7012R uses a low-profile Flateye housing that sits flat against ceilings and walls, making it suited to indoor corridors, retail ceilings, and office environments where a discreet form factor matters. The 3mm fixed lens provides a wide angle suited to close-range interior coverage.
20m IR Night Vision
Built-in IR illuminators on each camera extend coverage to 20m in complete darkness, dropping minimum illumination to 0 Lux with IR active. Combined with 120dB Wide Dynamic Range, cameras handle scenes with mixed bright and dark zones without washing out detail.
4TB HDD Storage Included
The ARN-810S ships with a 4TB HDD pre-installed, meaning no additional storage purchase is needed at setup. With H.265 compression and WiseStream II on each camera reducing bandwidth, 4TB supports extended continuous recording across all 4 cameras before the drive fills.
Remote Access via P2P and Mobile App
The NVR supports P2P connection using a QR code scan, removing the need for port forwarding configuration. Remote viewing works through the Wisenet Mobile app on iOS and Android, as well as Wisenet Viewer CMS on Windows and Mac for multi-site monitoring scenarios.
4-Channel Expansion Headroom
With 8 channels on the ARN-810S and only 4 cameras in this kit, there is direct room to add up to 4 more compatible cameras as monitoring needs grow. The NVR supports cameras up to 8MP resolution, allowing higher-resolution cameras to be added to the remaining ports later.
Best For
- Small Business Interiors: The Flateye housing and 3mm fixed lens on the ANE-L7012R suit indoor ceiling mounting across retail floors, reception areas, and office corridors where compact, low-profile cameras are preferred.
- First-Time IP System Installations: The built-in PoE+ switch, pre-loaded 4TB HDD, and NVR setup wizard reduce the complexity of a first IP camera install, letting integrators commission the system without advanced networking knowledge.
- Sites Expecting Future Growth: Four unused NVR channels allow the system to grow from 4 cameras to 8 without replacing the recorder, which protects the initial investment as monitoring requirements expand.
- Remote-Managed Properties: The P2P QR code pairing and Wisenet Mobile app support make this kit suited to properties managed off-site, where simple remote check-in without a static IP or port forwarding setup is a priority.
Why Choose the CT-ANE-KIT-8CH4CAM
The CT-ANE-KIT-8CH4CAM removes the guesswork from pairing cameras with a recorder. Each component is matched: the ANE-L7012R cameras are drawn from the same Wisenet A Series ecosystem as the ARN-810S NVR, ensuring codec compatibility across H.265, H.264, and MJPEG without manual configuration. A basic standalone recorder or a non-matched camera bundle would not guarantee the same automatic discovery, WiseStream II bandwidth optimisation, or hallway view mode support that comes from within-family pairing. The 4TB HDD is pre-installed and formatted, so no additional storage sourcing is needed before deployment. With 8 PoE+ ports on the NVR, cabling to individual cameras requires nothing beyond standard Cat6 runs. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit is suited to integrators and direct buyers who want a tested combination rather than building a system from separate purchases.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Fixed Lens Coverage Planning: The ANE-L7012R uses a fixed 3mm lens, which provides a wide field of view suited to rooms and corridors within roughly 6-8 metres of the camera. For longer corridors, larger open spaces, or outdoor perimeter coverage requiring tighter framing at distance, a varifocal or longer focal length camera would be more appropriate. Plan mounting positions before purchase to confirm the 3mm angle covers the intended zones without relying on digital zoom.
PoE Power Budget: The ARN-810S provides a shared 65W PoE+ budget across all 8 ports. The ANE-L7012R cameras have a low power draw, so running all 4 simultaneously is well within budget. If you expand the system using higher-power cameras such as those with active IR arrays or heaters, confirm the combined wattage of all connected cameras stays within the 65W limit to avoid port throttling.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Shopfronts and Store Interiors
The Flateye housing and wide 3mm lens suit ceiling mounting over checkout counters, product aisles, and entry points. The 4MP resolution captures sufficient detail for identifying individuals at close to mid range, and local SD card storage on each camera provides a secondary recording layer.
Office and Workplace Corridors
Hallway view mode on the ANE-L7012R rotates the image to a vertical aspect ratio suited to corridor framing, which reduces wasted field of view and maximises useful coverage length. This makes each camera more effective in narrow passageways without requiring additional units.
Small Warehouses and Storage Facilities
The 20m IR range on each camera handles unlit storage areas during after-hours periods. Virtual line and virtual area analytics provide motion alerts at specific zones such as entry points or high-value storage bays without generating alerts from all general movement throughout the space.
Multi-Tenancy Buildings and Common Areas
Reception lobbies, lift foyers, and stairwells benefit from the compact Flateye profile that avoids obstructing ceiling fixtures. With PoE running over existing or new Cat6 infrastructure, adding this kit to a building with structured cabling already in place requires minimal additional work.
Remote or Unstaffed Sites
P2P access via QR code and the Wisenet Mobile app removes the need for a dedicated IT setup or static IP configuration, making this kit practical for unstaffed sites where the operator checks in remotely. Dual-track recording ensures continuous footage is preserved even if the network stream drops temporarily.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a ready-to-deploy 4-camera IP system with PoE simplicity, pre-installed storage, and room to add 4 more cameras later, particularly for indoor environments where the Flateye housing and 3mm wide-angle lens are a practical match for ceiling-mounted coverage.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires outdoor cameras with weatherproof housings, longer focal lengths for perimeter or car park coverage, or varifocal lenses for adjustable framing at installation. A kit built around bullet or turret cameras with IP66-rated housings would be better suited to those scenarios.
- Consider upgrading storage if: You plan to connect all 8 channels and require extended retention beyond what 4TB supports at full throughput. The ARN-810S accepts up to a 6TB HDD, giving headroom to upgrade the drive before the system is at full camera capacity.
FAQs
- Can I add more cameras to this kit later?
Yes. The ARN-810S has 8 channels and this kit uses 4, leaving 4 ports available. Each unused port also provides PoE+ power, so adding cameras requires only running a Cat6 cable to each new camera location. The NVR supports cameras up to 8MP, so higher-resolution models can be added to the remaining ports if needed.
- Is the 4TB HDD already installed and ready to record?
Yes. The ARN-810S in this kit ships with a 4TB HDD pre-installed. During the initial setup wizard the drive is formatted and recording schedules are configured. No separate HDD purchase or installation is required before the system begins recording.
- What type of cabling do the ANE-L7012R cameras require?
Each camera connects via a single Cat6 Ethernet cable that carries both the network signal and PoE power from the ARN-810S NVR. No separate power cables or power adapters are needed at the camera end. Maximum recommended PoE cable run is 100m per IEEE 802.3at standards.
- Can the cameras record locally if the NVR goes offline?
Yes. Each ANE-L7012R has a micro SD card slot supporting cards up to 128GB. Inserting an SD card into each camera enables local edge recording, which acts as a backup if the NVR becomes temporarily unavailable. SD cards are not included in the kit and must be purchased separately.
- What does the hallway view mode do on the ANE-L7012R?
Hallway view rotates the image sensor output to a 9:16 portrait orientation rather than the standard 16:9 landscape. This makes each camera significantly more effective when mounted at the end of a corridor or narrow passageway, as it fills the frame with the full length of the corridor rather than wasting field of view on the ceiling and floor edges.
- How do I set up remote viewing without port forwarding?
The ARN-810S supports P2P connection using a QR code displayed in the NVR menu. Scanning this with the Wisenet Mobile app on a smartphone completes the remote connection without requiring static IP configuration or port forwarding on your router. PC and Mac users can connect using the Wisenet Viewer CMS software. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers with full access to Hanwha Vision’s Australian support documentation for app setup guidance.
- Are the ANE-L7012R cameras suited for outdoor installation?
The ANE-L7012R uses a Flateye housing primarily designed for indoor ceiling and wall mounting. The product data does not confirm a rated weatherproof IP ingress protection level for outdoor exposure. For outdoor installation in exposed environments, a camera with a confirmed IP66 or IP67-rated housing would be more appropriate.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera runs to ensure reliable PoE delivery and full bandwidth at 4MP resolution.
- Maximum Cable Run: Up to 100m per camera from the ARN-810S NVR PoE port to each ANE-L7012R camera, per IEEE 802.3at PoE standards.
- PoE Considerations: The ARN-810S provides a 65W shared PoE+ budget across all 8 ports. The 4 supplied cameras operate comfortably within this budget. If expanding to 8 cameras, confirm the cumulative power draw of all connected cameras stays within 65W total.
- Wiring Tips: Route cables through conduit where they pass through wall cavities or ceiling spaces to protect against physical damage. Plan cable paths to avoid running alongside 240V mains wiring to reduce electrical interference. Label each cable at both ends during installation to simplify future troubleshooting or camera additions.
