• 4 × DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 TiOC eyeball cameras (white)
• 1 × DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ 8-channel PoE recorder
• The recorder's 53 V DC adapter
• A hard drive, only if you chose one in the options

• Cat5e or Cat6 cable from each camera to the recorder
• A monitor or TV with HDMI or VGA for setting up
• Your router, for the DMSS phone app
• A SATA surveillance drive, if you chose No HDD

01

Fit the drive

If you chose No HDD, power off, open the recorder and fit a SATA surveillance drive, then format it from the startup wizard.

02

Mount the cameras

Fix each eyeball to a wall or eave through the three Ø 4.5 mm holes on an 84 mm circle in its base, then pan, tilt and rotate the ball to frame the view.

03

Run one cable to each

Cat5e or Cat6 from each camera to a PoE port on the recorder, up to 100 m. The port powers the camera.

04

Set the rules

Connect HDMI and your router, add the recorder to DMSS, then draw tripwire or intrusion zones and choose what the light, strobe and siren do.

Security

Datatek 24SECCAB cabinet

Locks the recorder and a monitor up to 24″ in a steel wall cabinet, so an intruder can't walk off with the footage.

Extra camera

DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2

The same camera on its own, for the four free ports on the recorder.

Power backup

ION 650VA UPS

Keeps the recorder and cameras recording through short power cuts and protects them from surges.

Cabling

Cat6 cable

One run from each camera to the recorder, up to the usual 100 m Ethernet limit.

Homes

Driveway, front door, side gate and back yard, with a siren for anyone at the car.

Shops and cafés

Entry, counter and back lane, with a voice warning at the roller door after hours.

Small offices

Reception, car park and the bin area, with people and vehicle alerts to your phone.

Workshops and yards

Gates and loading areas in colour at night, 30 m of light from each camera.

Farm sheds

Machinery sheds and fuel tanks, with two-way talk to speak to visitors.

Rental and holiday homes

Outside areas only, watched from the DMSS app while you are away.

Is this a complete system?

It has four cameras and the recorder that powers and records them. Add Cat6 cable to each camera, a monitor for setting up, and a hard drive if you chose No HDD in the options.

Is a hard drive included?

Only if you choose one. The kit is sold without a hard drive, or with a 2, 4, 8 or 10TB drive fitted: choose the drive size in the options above. The recorder's single SATA bay takes up to 20TB.

Which lens do the cameras have?

Dahua makes the DH-IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-ANZ-S2 with a 2.8 mm lens (106° across) or a 3.6 mm lens (85° across, sees detail a little further). Confirm with us which is in stock when you order.

How far do the cameras see at night?

Up to 30 m with IR and up to 30 m with warm light. Dahua rates them for colour down to 0.004 lux at F1.0, and with the lights on they record at 0 lux.

What sets off the siren and strobe?

A tripwire crossing or an intrusion into a zone you draw, filtered for people, vehicles or both. You choose the light, strobe and sound for each rule, and can disarm them with one tap in DMSS.

Can I talk through the cameras?

Yes. Each camera has a built-in dual microphone and a speaker, so you can listen and talk back from the DMSS app.

Can the recorder power all four cameras?

Yes. Each camera draws up to 10.1 W on PoE with everything running, 40.4 W for four, and the recorder supplies up to 78 W across its 8 ports.

Can I add more cameras later?

Yes, four more. The recorder has 8 channels and 8 PoE ports, and this kit uses 4. At Dahua's maximum of 10.1 W per camera, seven cameras fit the 78 W PoE budget (70.7 W); an eighth takes it to 80.8 W, so power one camera from a 12 VDC adapter if you fill every port. It also takes ONVIF cameras from other brands.

Can the recorder take every camera at full resolution?

Yes. Dahua rates each camera's stream at up to 16384 kbps (about 16 Mbps), so four cameras need up to about 66 Mbps, inside the recorder's 180 Mbps with AI on. It records cameras up to 16MP.

Does this kit do AcuPick search?

No, not with this recorder. The cameras support AcuPick with a Dahua recorder that offers it, and Dahua lists AcuPick on its NVR5 AI recorders, not on the NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ. This recorder gives Quick Pick, which picks people and vehicles out of the cameras' SMD events so you can find them quickly.

Can I watch it on my phone?

Yes. Connect the recorder to your router, turn on P2P and scan its QR code with Dahua's DMSS app on iPhone or Android for live view, playback and alerts.

What warranty does it have?

Dahua gives these 3 Series network cameras and NVR4 recorders a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Claims are handled in Australia through InFront Technologies: call 1300 736 970 or email [email protected].
