8MP Hikvision Colorvu HYBRID CCTV Kit: 4 x Liveguard Cameras + 8CH M Series NVR / 4TB

Model: 4x DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL + DS-7608NI-M 8CH NVR / 4TB

Who This Is For

Property managers specifying active deterrence for residential complexes, small commercial sites, or retail premises will find this kit directly addresses the gap between passive recording and real-time intervention. The bundle pairs 4 x Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL 8MP ColorVu turret cameras with a dedicated 8-channel M Series NVR pre-loaded with 4TB of storage - everything needed for a complete, camera-to-NVR system in a single purchase. Each camera combines AcuSense AI classification, Smart Hybrid Light for full-colour night vision, a built-in strobe, and two-way audio, meaning the system can detect, alert, and actively warn intruders without requiring operator intervention. The 2.8mm fixed lens suits entry points, carparks, and outdoor perimeters at close to mid-range. Installers benefit from a matched PoE system with no channel or storage planning guesswork - connect, configure, and commission.

What This Kit Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• Rental property owners and managers: Need a complete system that can be installed once and left running. The pre-matched NVR and 4TB storage remove the compatibility and capacity guesswork that comes with building a system from scratch.
• Small business operators with after-hours theft exposure: Retail yards, trade supply sites, and service businesses where the strobe and two-way audio provide a visible on-site response to after-hours intrusions without requiring a monitoring centre callout.
• Residential builders and developers: Specifying security on new builds or completing handovers where a single-box PoE kit simplifies installation labour and delivers a documented, warranty-backed system to the end client.
• Installers doing sub-10-camera commercial jobs: The 8-channel NVR with 4 channels spare gives room to add cameras at a later stage without replacing the recorder, making it a practical first-stage solution for growing sites.

Honest Assessment

This kit earns its price in two areas: full-colour night footage from the Smart Hybrid Light and AcuSense detection that keeps false alerts at a manageable level. The 130 dB WDR on an 8MP sensor is genuinely strong performance at this tier, and the strobe-plus-speaker combination is a meaningful deterrent rather than a marketing label. The 4TB pre-installed storage gives a realistic retention window at 8MP across 4 cameras before compression starts making compromises. Where this kit has limits: the 2.8mm fixed lens on all 4 cameras means this is a close-to-mid-range system - if you need one camera covering a long driveway or open yard beyond 20-25m recognition distance, the DORI figures confirm it will not serve that purpose well. Sites needing more than 4 cameras immediately are better served by an 8-camera version from the start. The system is available through Security Australia with full Hikvision warranty support.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You need a complete 4-camera outdoor system with active deterrence and full-colour night footage out of the box - the pre-matched NVR, 4TB storage, and ColorVu cameras cover installation from cable to playback without additional purchases.
• Good match if: AcuSense false-alarm reduction is a priority - sites where animals, foliage, or vehicle headlights have caused nuisance alerts with previous systems benefit directly from the human/vehicle classification built into each camera.
• You may need a different model if: Your site requires long-range identification beyond 17m, or needs cameras covering approaches longer than 25-30m - a bullet camera kit with varifocal or longer fixed lenses will serve those positions better.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need active deterrence built into every camera - the strobe and two-way audio on each DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL means the system warns intruders without a separate siren or monitoring centre, and AcuSense keeps those alerts targeted to genuine human and vehicle detections.
• You may need a different model if: Your site has one or more long approaches, loading dock runs, or open perimeter sections beyond 25m - a kit built around varifocal bullet cameras will provide the focal length flexibility and IR range that a fixed 2.8mm turret kit cannot match at distance.
• Pairs well with: A PoE network switch if you want to distribute cameras across a larger building without running all cables back to the NVR - standard 802.3af PoE switches are compatible with these cameras.

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 night. Smart Hybrid Light uses white-light illumination alongside infrared, and the sensor's 0.0005 Lux minimum illumination threshold means the camera produces colour video in extremely low ambient light conditions. When white light is active, footage retains clothing colour, vehicle colour, and skin tone detail that standard IR-only cameras cannot deliver.

2. Will the strobe light trigger every time something moves in front of the camera?

   No. The strobe is triggered by AcuSense detections, not general motion. AcuSense uses deep learning to classify targets as human or vehicle before triggering an alert or activating the strobe. Background movement such as animals, foliage, or passing headlights is filtered prior to any response, which significantly reduces nuisance activations in outdoor environments.

3. How long will 4TB of storage last across 4 cameras at 8MP?

   Retention varies with motion activity, but H.265+ compression significantly reduces file size compared to standard H.264. In a typical mixed-use outdoor environment with moderate activity, 4TB across 4 cameras at 8MP typically delivers between 14 and 30 days of continuous recording, depending on scene complexity and configured bitrate. High-activity sites will trend toward the shorter end. The NVR supports hard drive expansion if longer retention is required.

4. Does this system support two-way audio - can I speak through the cameras?

   Yes. Each DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL has both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, enabling two-way audio. Through the Hik-Connect app, a user can listen to audio at the camera location and speak back through the camera's speaker in real time. This is confirmed hardware on the camera itself - no separate audio device is required.

5. What PoE standard do the cameras require - will a basic PoE switch power them?

   Yes. The cameras are powered by IEEE 802.3af standard PoE, which is the most common PoE specification. A standard PoE switch or PoE NVR port will power each camera without requiring PoE+ (802.3at). A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera carries both power and data. Keep individual cable runs under 100m for reliable operation at the rated specification.

6. Can I add more cameras to the NVR later, or am I limited to 4?

   You can add up to 4 more cameras. The 8-channel M Series NVR in this kit has 8 channels total, with 4 used by the included cameras and 4 remaining free. Additional cameras compatible with the Hikvision NVR platform can be added to those spare channels at any point. Additional storage capacity can also be added to the NVR if extended retention is needed as the camera count increases. The team at Security Australia can advise on compatible camera options for the spare channels.
