Product Overview
Built for properties that need multi-point outdoor coverage with active deterrence in one complete package, this Hikvision 8MP AcuSense 6-camera black turret kit combines six DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK cameras with a DS-7608NI-M2-8P 8-channel PoE NVR and a 4TB hard drive. Each outdoor turret camera delivers 8MP 4K resolution, DarkFighter low-light performance, 120dB true WDR and 30m IR, backed by AcuSense human and vehicle classification to focus alerts on events that matter. Featuring built-in strobe light, siren, microphone and speaker, each camera supports both active deterrence and two-way audio for real-time communication at key entry points. The black camera finish suits modern residential and commercial facades where appearance matters alongside function. With 8 PoE ports and 2 spare channels beyond the 6 supplied cameras, the system is ready for staged expansion without replacing the recorder.
Key Capabilities
8MP 4K Outdoor Turret Coverage
Six fixed turret cameras at 8MP resolution provide detailed coverage across driveways, entrances, side access paths and perimeter walls. The turret form factor suits eave, soffit and external wall mounting at homes and commercial sites without an overly industrial appearance.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning-based target classification filters out false alerts caused by animals, rain, foliage or shadows and focuses event notifications on human and vehicle movement. Across a 6-camera system, this significantly reduces the volume of irrelevant alerts and makes playback searches faster.
Active Strobe and Siren Deterrence
Each camera includes a built-in strobe light and audible siren that can be triggered by detected events. This positions the cameras as an active deterrent at driveways, side gates, loading areas and shopfronts rather than a passive recording-only device.
Two-Way Audio at Entry Points
With a built-in microphone and built-in speaker confirmed in each camera, two-way audio allows real-time voice communication through a compatible app or recorder setup. This is practical at front doors, delivery areas, gates and after-hours business entry points.
DarkFighter Low-Light and 120dB WDR
DarkFighter technology improves imaging in low ambient light, while 120dB true WDR handles scenes with strong backlight or high contrast, such as a driveway camera aimed toward a lit street or a shopfront entry with bright signage behind a person.
8-Channel PoE NVR with 4TB Storage and Expansion Room
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P provides 8 plug-and-play PoE ports, 4K output, mobile viewing and centralised recording on the included 4TB HDD. With 6 cameras supplied, 2 channels remain available for future additions without needing a new recorder.
Best For
- Larger Homes and Acreage Properties: 6 cameras cover the front entry, driveway, garage, side access paths, rear yard and back gate in a single system, with 2 spare NVR channels for a shed or additional zone later.
- Small to Medium Retail and Commercial Sites: Active strobe, siren and AcuSense detection make this kit suitable for shopfronts, after-hours monitoring and customer-facing entry points where deterrence and alert accuracy both matter.
- Warehouses and Light Industrial Properties: Turret cameras mounted on external walls can cover roller doors, loading bays, staff access points and vehicle movement zones with 8MP detail and 30m IR night coverage.
- Properties Requiring a Black Camera Finish: The black finish cameras suit darker facades, modern architectural exteriors and commercial sites where white cameras would be visually inconsistent with the building design.
- Staged CCTV Installations: Buyers who want a strong starting system with room to grow can install 6 cameras now and add up to 2 more to the same NVR without upgrading the recorder or rewiring.
Why Choose This Kit
The Hikvision 8MP AcuSense 6-camera black turret kit brings together a set of features that a basic camera kit simply does not offer. Where a standard kit records motion, this system uses AcuSense deep learning to classify whether that motion is a human or a vehicle, which keeps alerts relevant across all 6 camera positions. Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK camera adds strobe and siren deterrence, two-way audio via a confirmed built-in microphone and speaker, DarkFighter low-light capability and 120dB WDR. The black finish is a specific design choice that standard white kits cannot replicate. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR with 8 PoE ports and 4TB HDD provides centralised recording, 4K output and 2 spare channels for future cameras. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit suits buyers who want a complete, expandable system with active deterrence built in from day one.
Package Inclusions
- 6 x DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK – 8MP AcuSense Outdoor Turret Camera (2.8mm Lens, 30m IR, Strobe and Siren, Built-In Mic and Speaker, IP67, Black Finish)
- 1 x DS-7608NI-M2-8P – 8-Channel Hikvision PoE NVR (8 PoE Ports, 4K Output, 2 HDD Bays, 4TB HDD Installed, AcuSense firmware compatible)
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This kit ships with 6 cameras and an 8-channel NVR, leaving 2 PoE ports free. Before installation, map out all camera positions including the 2 you might add later, and run cable to those locations at the same time. Retrofitting cable after walls are finished or ceilings are closed is significantly more labour-intensive than running all runs in a single pass.
Buyer Tip: The strobe and siren deterrence functions on each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK camera are most effective when positioned at perimeter access points such as side gates, driveways and rear entries. Avoid configuring deterrence functions for camera positions near shared fences, neighbouring windows or public footpaths where repeated false activations could cause nuisance.

Ideal Use Cases
Front Entry and Driveway
The 2.8mm fixed lens and 8MP resolution suit close-to-mid-range driveway and entry coverage. AcuSense filtering keeps alerts focused on approaching vehicles and people rather than every passing shadow or breeze.
Side Gate and Pedestrian Access
Side access points are high-value deterrence positions. The strobe and siren on each camera can be configured to trigger on human detection at these locations, warning intruders before they reach further into the property.
Retail Shopfront After Hours
Two-way audio via the confirmed built-in mic and speaker allows staff or owners to communicate remotely with anyone near a shopfront entry. Combined with active deterrence, this adds an interactive response layer outside business hours.
Warehouse Roller Doors and Loading Areas
The IP67 outdoor rating and 30m IR range make these cameras suited to large external wall mounting near roller doors and loading zones. Vehicle classification through AcuSense helps distinguish authorised delivery activity from unexpected access.
Modern Residential Facades
The black camera finish is a specific choice for homes and commercial buildings with dark cladding, charcoal render, timber screens or architectural exteriors where standard white cameras would stand out poorly against the facade.
Car Parks and External Common Areas
DarkFighter low-light performance and 120dB WDR help the cameras manage the mixed lighting conditions typical of open-air car parks, where light poles create bright spots alongside dark unlit areas throughout the night.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 6 outdoor 8MP cameras in black, active strobe and siren deterrence, two-way audio, AcuSense smart filtering, DarkFighter low-light performance and a complete system with 4TB storage and 2 spare NVR channels for future expansion.
- Choose a different kit if: You only need 2 or 3 cameras for a small property or single entry point, as this 6-camera kit would be more system than needed for a compact installation.
- Choose a different kit if: You need cameras in a white finish to match existing white fascia or eave colours, as the cameras in this kit are supplied in black only.
- Choose a different kit if: Your coverage requirement calls for longer IR range beyond 30m or a varifocal lens to frame distant targets, as the included cameras use a fixed 2.8mm lens suited to closer-range zone coverage.
FAQs
- What cameras are included in this kit and what model are they?
The kit includes 6 x Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK cameras. These are outdoor fixed turret cameras with 8MP 4K resolution, a 2.8mm lens, 30m IR, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, built-in strobe light, siren, microphone and speaker, DarkFighter low-light technology, 120dB WDR and an IP67 outdoor weather rating, all in a black housing finish.
- Does this kit genuinely support two-way audio, or is an external microphone required?
Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK camera includes a confirmed built-in microphone and a built-in speaker. This means two-way audio is supported without any additional accessories. When configured through a compatible app or the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR, you can listen and speak in real time at any camera position.
- How does the strobe and siren deterrence work?
The strobe light and audible siren on each camera can be set to activate automatically when an AcuSense-classified human or vehicle event is detected. This means the deterrence response targets real intrusion scenarios rather than triggering from animals or environmental movement, which makes the feature more practical in everyday use across a multi-camera system.
- Why does this kit use an 8-channel NVR for only 6 cameras?
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P provides 8 PoE ports, leaving 2 channels available after the 6 supplied cameras are connected. This gives buyers the option to add up to 2 more compatible cameras later without replacing the recorder. It is a deliberate design choice for buyers who want a complete system now but anticipate adding coverage to a shed, gate or additional zone in the future.
- How much recording time does the 4TB HDD provide?
Actual recording retention depends on resolution, frame rate, H.265+ compression settings, the number of active cameras, whether the system is set to continuous or event-based recording and the level of motion activity at each camera position. In general, H.265+ compression is efficient and a 4TB HDD provides meaningful storage headroom across 6 cameras, but exact retention figures vary by configuration.
- Is the black camera finish practical outdoors, or does it absorb more heat?
The DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL cameras are designed for outdoor installation and the black housing is a manufactured product option from Hikvision rather than an aftermarket paint finish. These cameras carry an IP67 outdoor rating. As with any outdoor camera, positioning in shaded or partially shaded locations is preferable in very hot climates, but the cameras are built for outdoor use as supplied. Security Wholesalers supplies these cameras as a confirmed Hikvision product line.
- Can I use this kit with a monitor plugged directly into the NVR?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR supports 4K display output, which means you can connect a monitor or TV directly to the recorder for live viewing and playback without relying on a mobile device or computer. Mobile viewing through a compatible app is also supported for remote access.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Use Cat5e or Cat6 cable for all camera runs. Cat6 is recommended for runs approaching the maximum length or in environments with electrical interference.
- Maximum PoE Cable Run: Standard PoE specification allows up to 100m per camera run from the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR to each camera. Runs beyond this distance will typically result in power or signal issues.
- Plan All Runs Before Installation: With 2 spare NVR channels available, it is strongly recommended to run cable to all planned future camera positions at the same time as the initial 6 runs. Retrofitting cable through finished walls or ceilings adds significant labour cost later.
- Outdoor Cable Protection: Use conduit or outdoor-rated cable management for all exposed exterior cable runs to protect against UV degradation, physical damage and water ingress at cable entry points into walls or eaves.
- Audio Considerations: The built-in microphone on each camera can pick up wind and rain noise in exposed outdoor positions. Positioning cameras under eaves or within sheltered housings can improve audio clarity for two-way communication use.
