Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night imaging, this Hikvision 4-camera kit pairs 4 x DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL 8MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu turret cameras with a DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR, giving homes and small commercial sites a complete plug-and-play 4K system with built-in response capability. Each turret camera uses Smart Hybrid Light technology, switching between IR and white light to produce vivid colour footage at night without relying solely on ambient lighting. Built-in strobe lights and audio alarms activate on detection, while a built-in microphone and speaker allow two-way audio communication through the Hik-Connect app. The NVR delivers 128Mbps input bandwidth, 4K video output, 8 PoE ports and dual HDD bays, with no HDD included so you can size storage to suit your retention needs. Cameras are IP67-rated for outdoor installation across driveways, shopfronts, warehouses and perimeter fences.
Key Capabilities
Smart Hybrid Light Technology
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL switches between IR and white light based on scene conditions, delivering true full-colour footage in complete darkness across a 40m illumination range – without requiring external lighting at the installation point.
Active Deterrence: Strobe and Audio Alarm
Each camera includes a built-in strobe light and audio alarm that can trigger on detection events. This visible and audible response is designed to interrupt activity at the camera location rather than simply recording it.
Two-Way Audio via Built-In Mic and Speaker
With a confirmed built-in microphone and speaker on each camera, operators can speak directly to people at the camera location through the Hik-Connect app. Full duplex audio allows simultaneous communication in both directions.
8MP 4K Resolution with Wide FOV
Each camera captures 3840 x 2160 video through a fixed 2.8mm lens with a 111-degree horizontal field of view, covering broad outdoor areas including driveways, shopfronts and yard entries from a single mounting point.
8-Channel PoE NVR with Dual HDD Bays
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P provides 8 built-in PoE ports for direct camera connection without a separate switch, handles 128Mbps input bandwidth, supports 4K display output and accepts 2 SATA HDDs for scalable long-term recording.
Smart Detection with Human and Vehicle Classification
On-camera smart detection filters events by human or vehicle targets, reducing unwanted alerts from environmental triggers such as foliage or weather. This focuses recordings and notifications on events that are genuinely relevant.
Best For
- Driveways and Property Entries: The 2.8mm wide-angle lens covers broad approach zones, and the strobe and audio alarm can activate to deter uninvited entry before anyone reaches the door.
- Shopfronts and Car Yards After Hours: Full-colour night footage from Smart Hybrid Light keeps signage, vehicles and faces identifiable in darkness, while two-way audio lets staff respond remotely via mobile.
- Warehouse and Industrial Perimeters: IP67-rated housings withstand outdoor exposure, and smart detection focuses alerts on human or vehicle intrusions across large monitored zones during overnight periods.
- Small Business Sites Needing Proactive Monitoring: The complete PoE kit removes the need to source cameras and a recorder separately, and 4 cameras cover the standard entry, exit and side-access points of a typical small commercial premises.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL and DS-7608NI-M2/8P Kit
A basic 4K camera kit records what happens. This kit is built to respond. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL cameras go beyond passive recording by combining a strobe light, audio alarm and two-way audio speaker in a single weatherproof turret housing – capabilities that a standard 8MP camera without active deterrence cannot provide. The Smart Hybrid Light system maintains full-colour imagery in complete darkness without relying on external lighting, giving usable footage where a standard IR-only camera would return monochrome images. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR ties the system together with 8 native PoE ports, 128Mbps bandwidth headroom and dual HDD bays, meaning the recorder can grow with your storage requirements. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit is suited to buyers who need a verified, camera-to-recorder matched system that ships as a single purchase rather than requiring separate compatibility checking.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: The DS-7608NI-M2/8P ships with no HDD installed. At 8MP with H.265+ compression, 4 cameras recording continuously will consume significant storage. A 4TB surveillance-grade drive typically covers 7 to 10 days of continuous 4-camera recording depending on scene complexity and motion frequency. If you require longer retention – such as 30 days for insurance or compliance purposes – plan for 8TB or consider fitting both HDD bays. Select a WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk drive rated for continuous NVR use.
Lens and Coverage Planning: The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL ships with a fixed 2.8mm lens giving a 111-degree horizontal field of view. This wide angle suits broad entry coverage but reduces the DORI identify distance to 9.4m. If your primary requirement is facial or plate recognition at a defined chokepoint beyond 9 to 10 metres, a narrower fixed lens variant should be considered. For general perimeter awareness and deterrence at typical residential or small commercial gate distances, the 2.8mm coverage is well matched.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Gate Entries
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens captures the full width of a standard driveway from eave or wall height. Smart Hybrid Light produces colour footage at night, and the strobe and audio alarm provide an immediate response when someone enters the detection zone.
Retail Shopfronts and After-Hours Premises
Full-colour 8MP imaging keeps window displays, signage and faces identifiable after dark without relying on shop lighting. Two-way audio lets a remote operator address anyone loitering at the front of the building through the camera speaker.
Car Yards and Open Display Areas
Smart detection classifies vehicle and human movement across the yard overnight, triggering targeted alerts rather than constant notifications from passing traffic. The strobe alarm activates at the camera to deter anyone approaching stock outside business hours.
Warehouse Perimeter and Loading Dock Monitoring
IP67-rated housings handle outdoor exposure at loading docks and fence lines. The 40m white light range covers typical dock depth and access lane widths, and PoE connectivity simplifies the cable run from camera to NVR inside the building.
Small Business Sites Requiring a Complete System
With 4 cameras and an 8-channel NVR in a single kit, this bundle covers the standard access points of a typical small commercial site. The 4 spare NVR channels allow additional cameras to be added later without replacing the recorder.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a matched 4-camera 8MP system with active deterrence, full-colour night vision and two-way audio out of the box, and want PoE simplicity with room to expand to 8 cameras using the NVR’s spare channels.
- Choose a different configuration if: Your primary need is narrow-angle identification at distances beyond 10 metres – for example, reading licence plates on a long driveway – as the fixed 2.8mm wide-angle lens on these cameras prioritises broad coverage over long-range detail. A kit with varifocal or narrower fixed lens cameras would be better suited to that scenario.
- Consider adding storage before installation: This kit ships with no HDD in the NVR. Recording will not begin until at least 1 surveillance-grade SATA drive is installed. If continuous 24-hour recording across all 4 cameras is required, size your drive selection before the system goes live.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR in this kit ships with no HDD installed. The recorder has 2 SATA HDD bays, and you will need to add at least 1 surveillance-rated drive before the system can record. WD Purple and Seagate Skyhawk drives are recommended for NVR use and are available separately.
- How does Smart Hybrid Light differ from standard IR night vision?
Standard IR cameras produce black-and-white footage in low light. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL uses Smart Hybrid Light to switch between IR and white light illumination depending on the scene, producing colour footage at night up to 40m. This means clothing colours, vehicle colours and other identifying details are visible in the recorded footage rather than appearing as grey tones.
- Is the two-way audio fully built in to the cameras, or does it require external accessories?
Both the microphone and speaker are built into each DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL camera. No external mic, speaker or audio module is required. Two-way communication is available through the Hik-Connect mobile app once the cameras are connected and configured on the NVR.
- How many cameras can be added to this system in future?
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P is an 8-channel NVR with 8 built-in PoE ports. This kit uses 4 of those channels, leaving 4 ports available for additional cameras. You can expand up to 8 cameras total without replacing the recorder, provided total bandwidth does not exceed 128Mbps.
- What is the coverage area of each camera at the 2.8mm fixed focal length?
At the 2.8mm focal length, each camera provides a 111-degree horizontal and 60-degree diagonal field of view. The DORI distances are: Detect at 93.9m, Observe at 37.6m, Recognise at 18.8m, and Identify at 9.4m. This makes the cameras well suited to covering wide entry areas rather than long narrow corridors or distant identification points.
- Does the strobe and alarm trigger automatically, or does it require manual activation?
The strobe light and audio alarm on the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL can be configured to trigger automatically on detection events, including human and vehicle targets identified by the camera’s smart detection. They can also be triggered manually via the Hik-Connect app when an alert is reviewed in real time.
- Where can I purchase this kit and access support?
This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is supplied with local Australian support. Datasheets for both the camera and NVR are available in the Additional Information section below for reference during installation planning.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera runs. Cat6 is preferred for outdoor runs exposed to interference or where future bandwidth headroom is desired.
- Maximum Cable Run: The IEEE 802.3 PoE standard supports a maximum single cable run of 100 metres from the NVR PoE port to each camera. Runs beyond this distance will result in power and data loss.
- PoE Considerations: The DS-7608NI-M2/8P provides 8 built-in PoE ports, meaning no separate PoE switch or injector is needed for the 4 cameras in this kit. Each camera draws power directly over the Ethernet cable from the NVR.
- Wiring Tips: Run cable through conduit for outdoor wall-mounted segments to protect against UV degradation and physical damage. Use a junction box or appropriate weatherproof cable entry point at the camera head to maintain the IP67 rating of the camera housing. Pre-made Cat6 cables in 5m, 10m, 20m and 30m lengths are available separately for clean internal runs.
