4MP Hikvision Colorvu CCTV Kit: 4 x Outdoor Colorvu Liveguard Turret Cameras with Acusense + 4CH NVR Kit

Model: 4x DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL / DS-7604NI-I1/4P / 4TB

Who This Is For

Property managers specifying a full-colour outdoor system for small commercial premises, townhouse complexes, or owner-occupied businesses will find this kit covers the most common 4-camera layout without requiring additional purchases to get recording up and running. The kit pairs 4 x Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL ColorVu LiveGuard turret cameras with a 4-channel PoE NVR pre-loaded with 4TB of storage. Each camera produces full-colour footage around the clock using a large 1/1.8" sensor and a dedicated white-light illuminator rated to 30 metres - no switching to black-and-white at night. AcuSense AI filters detections down to human and vehicle targets, and the integrated strobe and audio alarm can actively respond to a confirmed intrusion without anyone monitoring a screen. The 2.8mm lens on each camera suits wide coverage of entry points, car parks, and outdoor common areas where a broader field of view takes priority over long-distance reach.

What This System Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• Small business owners: Retailers, cafes, and trade businesses running a single site who need full-colour night footage at entry points and car parks without managing a separate DVR and cameras from different brands.
• Residential property managers: Strata and rental managers covering shared driveways, bin enclosures, and lobby areas of 4-unit townhouse blocks where the 4-camera count maps directly to the site layout.
• Owner-builders and renovators: People finishing a new home or major renovation who want a complete, matched system installed once - cameras, NVR, and storage in a single purchase with no compatibility questions.
• Security installers on residential jobs: Installers quoting a complete outdoor system for clients who have specifically requested active deterrence with strobe and audio response on confirmed human detection rather than silent recording only.
• Child care and aged care facilities: Operators needing visible deterrence cameras at perimeter gates and outdoor play areas where the strobe/audio alarm provides an immediate response to after-hours intrusion without requiring staff to be on-site.

Honest Assessment

This kit does several things genuinely well. The combination of ColorVu imaging, AcuSense classification, and LiveGuard active deterrence in a pre-matched, PoE-powered system is a practical setup for sites that need more than silent recording. Full-colour footage 24/7, filtered human/vehicle alerts, and an on-site strobe/audio response are all confirmed features operating together out of the box. The 4TB NVR handles storage from day one, and H.265+ keeps footage durations meaningful at 4MP resolution. The 2.8mm fixed lens on each camera is a wide-angle choice - correct for most residential and small commercial layouts, but not suited to monitoring long driveways, road frontages, or loading docks where a tighter focal length or a bullet camera with longer IR would be more appropriate. The 4-channel NVR cannot be expanded beyond 4 cameras, so sites that anticipate adding coverage zones should look at an 8-channel system from the outset. Available through Security Australia, this kit suits buyers who want the complete package configured and ready to go.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You need full-colour night footage and active deterrence at 4 outdoor locations - the LiveGuard strobe and audio alarm on each DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL means confirmed human intrusions trigger a visible and audible on-site response automatically.
• Good match if: You want a PoE system that is complete from the box - the 4-channel NVR with built-in PoE ports and pre-installed 4TB drive means a single Cat5e or Cat6 run per camera is all that is required to get each position powered and recording.
• You may need a different model if: Your site has more than 4 coverage positions now or is likely to expand - an 8-channel or 16-channel PoE NVR kit would avoid the need to replace the recorder entirely when additional cameras are added later.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need a complete 4-camera outdoor system with full-colour night imaging, AcuSense filtered alerts, and active strobe/audio deterrence - all confirmed and matched from the box, with PoE simplicity and 4TB storage included.
• You may need a different model if: Your site has more than 4 positions or is likely to expand - an 8-channel or 16-channel PoE NVR kit means you will not need to replace the recorder when additional cameras are added.
• Pairs well with: A PoE network switch if cameras need to be distributed across a larger site area beyond the direct NVR port runs, or a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep the NVR recording during short power interruptions.

Common Questions

1. Does this kit record in colour at night or does it switch to black-and-white?

   It records in full colour at all times, including complete darkness. The DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL uses ColorVu technology with a large 1/1.8" sensor and a dedicated white-light illuminator rated to 30 metres. Minimum illumination is 0.001 Lux in colour mode, and with the white light active the camera operates at 0 Lux - there is no infrared mode and no greyscale fallback.

2. Will the strobe alarm trigger for every movement or only for people and vehicles?

   Only for people and vehicles, provided AcuSense detection is configured correctly. The DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL uses deep learning on the camera itself to classify detected objects. When AcuSense is used to trigger the LiveGuard strobe and audio alarm, events caused by animals, foliage movement, rain, or changes in lighting are excluded from triggering the response. Detection zones and sensitivity still need to be set appropriately during installation.

3. How long will 4TB of storage last with all 4 cameras recording continuously?

   Typically between 20 and 30 days at 4MP with H.265+ compression across all 4 cameras, though this varies with scene complexity. Cameras covering busy scenes with frequent movement will compress less efficiently and consume storage faster than cameras covering quiet areas with little activity. The NVR records on a loop, overwriting the oldest footage when the drive is full.

4. Do I need a separate power supply for each camera?

   No. The DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR has 4 built-in IEEE 802.3af PoE ports, one per camera channel. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run from the NVR to each camera location carries both data and power. No separate power adapters, power points, or external PoE injectors are required at the camera end, provided cable runs stay within 100 metres per camera.

5. Can I add a 5th camera to this NVR later?

   No. The DS-7604NI-I1/4P is a 4-channel recorder and cannot be expanded beyond 4 cameras. If there is any likelihood of adding coverage positions in the future, selecting an 8-channel NVR kit from the outset avoids the cost of replacing the recorder when additional cameras are needed. The range of Hikvision NVR kits available from Security Australia includes 8-channel and 16-channel PoE options using the same camera series.

6. What is the identification distance on the 2.8mm cameras in this kit?

   The DORI identification distance on the 2.8mm DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL is 5.8 metres. This is the distance at which facial identification is possible. Recognition (sufficient to confirm a known person) is achievable at 11.6 metres, observation at 23.1 metres, and detection of a human-sized object at 58.2 metres. For licence plate reading or facial identification at longer distances, a camera with a tighter focal length lens would be required.

7. Does the two-way audio work through the NVR interface or only through a mobile app?

   Both options are supported. Two-way audio can be used through Hikvision's iVMS-4200 desktop software and through the Hik-Connect mobile app, provided the NVR is connected to a network. Each DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL has a confirmed built-in microphone and speaker, so no external audio device is needed at the camera. Audio can also be monitored locally through the NVR if an audio output device is connected to the recorder.

Cabling Considerations

• Cable Type: Cat5e minimum, Cat6 recommended for new installations - carries both data and PoE power in a single run.
• Max Cable Run: 100 metres per camera from NVR PoE port to camera. Runs exceeding this will cause unreliable power delivery and connection dropouts.
• PoE Notes: The DS-7604NI-I1/4P provides IEEE 802.3af PoE on all 4 ports. Each DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL draws Class 3 (up to 15.4W). No external PoE switch or injector is required within the 4-camera configuration.
• Wiring Tips: Run cable before plastering or cladding is complete where possible - the cameras terminate with a standard RJ45 connector. Terminate at a central patch point or directly at the NVR. If running through roof cavities, use a sheathed outdoor-rated cable where any section is exposed to heat or moisture.
