Active Deterrence 4 Camera 4K PoE Kit with 2-Way Audio by SCI - All Questions

The cameras are PoE cameras and need only one ethernet cable per camera to connect back to the NVR as pictured in the product description. All cameras also have a 12V DC connector which can be ignored. It is for testing purposes only.

Yes, the active deterrence lights (red/blue strobe and white spotlight) can be fully controlled and turned on or off at any time.

By default, all deterrence lighting is disabled when the system ships, so nothing will activate unless you choose to enable it.

You can easily turn the lights on or off from the camera’s illumination settings in the NVR interface (either through a web browser or directly on a monitor connected to the NVR). Each camera can be configured individually, giving you full control over how deterrence features are used.

This system offers multiple illumination modes:

Day & Night Mode – Standard black-and-white infrared night vision in low light
Full Color Mode – White LED lights turn on at night for full-color video
Smart Illumination Mode – Uses infrared by default, then switches to white light when motion is detected

In addition, the active deterrence lights (red/blue police-style lights and white spotlight) can be set to trigger only when motion or AI-based events (such as human or vehicle detection) occur.

All of these settings can be customized per camera or per channel, allowing you to run some cameras with deterrence enabled while keeping others in standard night vision mode.

As noted on the product page, this system is designed to provide both passive monitoring and proactive deterrence features depending on your setup preferences
