Dahua 24/7 WizColor 4CH CCTV Kit – 4x WizColor Turrets with SMD 4.0 + 4CH PoE NVR (DH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ, DHI-NVR4104HS-4P-4KS2/ANZ)

Model: 4xDH-IPC-HDW2549EMP-S-PRO-ANZ-Wizcolor & 4CH NVR

Who This Is For

Property managers specifying a complete 4-camera system who need full-colour footage around the clock - not just during daylight hours - will find this kit built precisely for that requirement. The Dahua 24/7 WizColor 4CH CCTV Kit pairs 4 x WizColor 5MP turret cameras with a 4-channel PoE NVR, giving you a self-contained system where the NVR powers every camera over a single Cat6 run. The WizColor cameras use warm supplemental light to produce colour video in low-light and darkness rather than switching to black-and-white infrared mode, which matters when colour detail - clothing, vehicle colour, signage - is what your footage needs to be useful. SMD 4.0 on each camera filters pets and environmental triggers, reducing nuisance alerts without disabling motion detection altogether. This kit is aimed at small business owners, landlords, and installers commissioning straightforward 4-camera sites who want colour-at-night performance without a multi-step configuration process.

What This Camera Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• Small Business Owners: Retail shops, cafes, and trade premises that need colour footage of their shopfront, carpark, or loading area overnight without managing a separate PoE switch or power adaptor at every camera location.
• Residential Landlords and Property Managers: Multi-unit or commercial tenancy sites where common-area coverage matters and where colour detail at night - useful for identifying persons or vehicles involved in an incident - is a specific requirement.
• Installers Commissioning Straightforward 4-Camera Sites: The plug-and-record PoE architecture and pre-matched camera-NVR combination shortens commissioning time on sites where 4 cameras will cover the brief without requiring a channel expansion later.
• Homeowners Upgrading from Analogue Systems: Those moving from older DVR and coax setups to IP over Cat6 who want a complete matched kit rather than sourcing cameras and recorder separately and validating compatibility themselves.

Honest Assessment

This kit does two things genuinely well: it delivers full-colour footage in darkness through WizColor illumination rather than switching to black-and-white IR, and it eliminates infrastructure complexity by combining the NVR and PoE switch into one unit. SMD 4.0 reduces nuisance alerts meaningfully compared to standard pixel-change motion detection, and 5MP gives usable detail at distances that 2MP or 4MP cameras handle less reliably. The all-in-one PoE architecture suits straightforward cable runs from a central head-end location. Where this kit reaches its limits: 4 channels is the maximum - this system does not expand beyond the cameras included. If your site needs more than 4 camera positions now or in the foreseeable future, you should be looking at an 8-channel NVR-based system instead. WizColor illumination also introduces a visible warm light in darkness, which suits most exterior applications but may not be preferred in environments where unobtrusive coverage is a priority. Available through Security Australia with ANZ-specific firmware pre-loaded.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need full-colour footage in darkness across 4 positions and want a single-box PoE solution that does not require a separate switch, power adaptors at each camera, or a manual camera-NVR compatibility check.
• You may need a different model if: Your site requires more than 4 camera positions now or planned within 12 months - an 8-channel or 16-channel PoE NVR kit will serve that brief better without requiring a second system later. Alternatively, if discreet or covert camera placement is a priority, a WizColor bullet or fixed dome may suit certain positions better than the turret form factor.
• Pairs well with: A surveillance-rated SATA HDD (2TB-8TB) to complete the recording setup, a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to protect the NVR during power outages, and surface-mount back boxes or in-ceiling adaptors to suit different mounting surfaces.

Common Questions

1. Does this kit include a hard drive for recording?

   No. The DHI-NVR4104HS-4P-4KS2 NVR is supplied without a hard drive. You will need to add a surveillance-rated SATA HDD before the system will record to local storage. Standard desktop HDDs are not recommended - they are not rated for the continuous write cycles a security recorder demands. With 4 cameras at 5MP using H.265+ compression, a 4TB surveillance drive gives approximately 20-30 days of continuous recording, depending on scene activity.

2. Will the cameras still record in colour when there is no ambient light at all?

   Yes. WizColor cameras use built-in warm supplemental LEDs that activate in low-light and darkness to illuminate the scene in colour. Unlike standard IR cameras that switch to black-and-white monochrome when light levels drop, WizColor maintains colour video regardless of ambient light. The warm LEDs are visible when active - a faint orange glow will be noticeable at night, which is a normal characteristic of the technology.

3. What cable do I need to run from each camera to the NVR?

   Cat5e or Cat6 is required, with a maximum run of 100m per camera port. A single cable carries both the video data and the PoE power supply - no separate power cable or adaptor is needed at each camera location. If any camera position is further than 100m from the NVR, a PoE extender will be needed inline. Cat7 is also compatible but offers no practical advantage over Cat6 for this application.

4. Does this work with third-party IP cameras I already own?

   Partially. The DHI-NVR4104HS-4P-4KS2 supports ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras, but features like SMD 4.0 smart motion detection, WizColor event triggers, and deep AI functions will only operate on Dahua cameras running compatible firmware. If you connect a third-party ONVIF camera, you will get basic video recording but lose the intelligent detection and alert features. For full functionality across all 4 channels, Dahua cameras are required - the kit cameras included are pre-matched for this reason.

5. Can I view live and recorded footage on my phone?

   Yes. The NVR supports remote access via the Dahua DMSS app, available for both iOS and Android. Once the NVR is connected to your router and configured with a DMSS account, you can view live streams, review recorded footage, and receive push notifications for SMD 4.0 motion events from your phone. The DMSS app supports Security Australia's ANZ-firmware units without any additional configuration steps.

6. Will SMD 4.0 reduce false alerts compared to standard motion detection?

   Yes, meaningfully so. Standard pixel-change motion detection generates alerts for anything that moves - wind-blown foliage, rain, insects near the lens, or animals. SMD 4.0 classifies detected movement as human, vehicle, or non-target before triggering an alert, so events caused by pets, birds, or environmental movement are suppressed. For sites that previously received dozens of false alerts per night from standard motion detection, the reduction in nuisance notifications is one of the most practical benefits of this kit.
