Product Overview
Covering 8 monitoring points from a single pre-configured system, this Hikvision kit pairs eight DS-2CD2366G2H-IU 6MP AcuSense turret cameras with the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR and a pre-installed 4TB surveillance hard drive. Each turret camera uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets separately from general motion, reducing nuisance alerts from wind, foliage, or animals. Powered by DarkFighter technology, the cameras maintain colour detail in low-light environments, while 120 dB true WDR manages backlit entrances, shopfronts, and driveways. Built-in microphones add audio context to every recording. With IP67-rated housings, 30m infrared illumination, and PoE connectivity, this kit suits homes, small offices, warehouses, and commercial properties needing a structured 8-camera deployment without separate cabling for power.
Key Capabilities
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning analytics on each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera separate people and vehicles from irrelevant motion events such as rain, insects, and foliage, keeping alerts focused on activity that actually matters to operators and site managers.
PoE Simplicity Across All 8 Cameras
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR provides 8 built-in PoE ports, meaning a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera carries both data and power. This simplifies installation across residential properties, retail sites, and small commercial buildings without the need for separate power runs.
Powered by DarkFighter Low-Light Imaging
DarkFighter technology improves colour and detail retention in poorly lit areas, while 30m infrared illumination on each turret camera provides continuous coverage after dark across driveways, entry points, car parks, and outdoor perimeters.
6MP Resolution Across 8 Positions
Each camera records at 3200 x 1800 pixels, producing detailed footage across all 8 camera positions. At 6MP, the system captures usable detail of faces, number plates, and activity at standard residential and commercial viewing distances.
Pre-Installed 4TB Surveillance Storage
The NVR ships with a 4TB surveillance-grade hard drive already installed, allowing the system to record from day one without additional configuration. H.265+ compression across all cameras helps extend recording duration without requiring additional storage capacity.
Built-in Microphone on Every Camera
Each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU includes an integrated microphone that records synchronised audio alongside video. This adds useful context during incident playback and event verification across all 8 camera locations without requiring external microphones.
Best For
- Residential Properties: PoE cabling and turret-style mounting make this kit practical for driveways, entry gates, side access paths, garages, and rear yards across standard home layouts.
- Small to Medium Commercial Sites: AcuSense classification and audio recording across 8 positions supports effective monitoring of shopfronts, staff entries, loading areas, and car parks at offices or retail premises.
- Warehouses and Light Industrial: IP67 weatherproof housings and 30m IR coverage allow deployment across internal bays and external perimeter walls in dusty or wet environments.
- Sites Needing Immediate Deployment: With a pre-installed 4TB drive and PoE NVR included, the system is ready to configure and record without sourcing additional components.
- Installers Completing 8-Camera Jobs: The matched camera and NVR pairing within the Hikvision ecosystem reduces compatibility guesswork and simplifies commissioning across multi-point installations.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2366G2H-IU and DS-7608NI-M2/8P Kit
This kit combines AcuSense deep learning detection, DarkFighter low-light performance, and 6MP resolution across all 8 turret cameras in a format that a basic IP camera kit cannot match. The DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras go beyond standard motion detection by classifying humans and vehicles separately, reducing alert fatigue on sites where general motion triggers would otherwise generate constant false notifications. Each camera includes a built-in microphone, adding audio recording to every position without additional hardware. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR provides 8 dedicated PoE ports with a pre-installed 4TB drive, removing the need to source storage or power supplies separately. The 120 dB true WDR on each camera handles challenging lighting at entrances and shopfronts that would overwhelm cameras without proper WDR support. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit is suited to both installer and direct-buyer projects needing a structured 8-camera deployment with smart detection built in from the start.
Package Inclusions
- 8 x DS-2CD2366G2H-IU 6MP AcuSense Outdoor Turret Camera with Built-in Microphone
- 1 x DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-Channel PoE NVR

Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection: Each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU is available with a 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens. The 2.8mm provides a 114.8-degree horizontal field of view and suits open driveways, yards, and wide entry areas. The 4mm narrows to 94 degrees horizontal and gives better subject detail at longer viewing distances, making it more suited to walkways, corridors, and focused entrance points. Specify your lens preference before ordering as this determines how the cameras are configured across your 8 positions.
Storage Planning: The included 4TB drive supports continuous recording across all 8 cameras, but actual retention time depends on resolution settings, frame rate, and how much motion activity is recorded. Sites with high traffic or 24-hour continuous recording may cycle through storage faster than low-activity residential properties. Each camera also supports a microSD card up to 512GB for local edge backup independent of the NVR, which can be useful for critical monitoring positions.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Home Security
The turret form factor and PoE power delivery suit eave, soffit, and wall mounting at typical residential locations including driveways, front entries, side gates, and rear yards. AcuSense classification reduces false alert notifications from neighbourhood pets or passing vehicles outside the property boundary.
Retail and Shopfront Monitoring
120 dB true WDR handles the backlight challenges common in shopfronts and window-facing positions. Built-in microphones on all 8 cameras capture audio context during incidents, supporting more thorough evidence review for retail operators.
Warehouse and Industrial Facilities
IP67-rated housings protect against dust ingress and water spray across internal bays and external loading docks. DarkFighter technology maintains image quality in poorly lit warehouse environments where overhead lighting may be inconsistent or absent in some zones.
Car Parks and Access Points
The 6MP sensor at 3200 x 1800 resolution across multiple positions gives operators a higher chance of capturing usable detail of vehicles and individuals at entry and exit points in car parks or gated access areas, particularly in conjunction with the 4mm lens option for tighter coverage.
Small Office and Commercial Buildings
An 8-camera system covers most multi-entry office buildings or commercial tenancies in a single kit, with human and vehicle classification helping site managers receive more meaningful alerts from staff entries, visitor car parks, loading areas, and perimeter access points.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 8 camera positions covered with AcuSense smart detection, DarkFighter low-light performance, built-in audio recording, and a pre-installed 4TB drive in a single PoE system ready for installation.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires more than 8 camera channels, or if you need full-colour night imaging without switching to infrared mode. A larger NVR-based kit or cameras with full-colour dedicated low-light technology would be more appropriate for those scenarios.
- Lens selection matters: If your installation includes a mix of wide open areas and tighter focused entry points, consider specifying a mix of 2.8mm and 4mm lenses across your 8 camera positions rather than selecting a single focal length for all locations.
FAQs
- Does the NVR in this kit power all 8 cameras directly?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P has 8 built-in PoE ports, one for each included DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run from the NVR to each camera location carries both power and data. No separate power supply or injector is required for any of the 8 cameras in this kit.
- What does AcuSense actually do on these cameras?
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify motion events as either human, vehicle, or other. Instead of alerting on any movement including wind, rain, or animals, the DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras can be configured to notify only when a person or vehicle is detected. This reduces the volume of notifications on busy or exposed outdoor sites.
- How long will 4TB of storage last with 8 cameras recording at 6MP?
Retention time depends on recording mode, frame rate, and scene activity. H.265+ compression on each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera significantly reduces file sizes compared to standard H.264. On motion-triggered recording at typical settings, 4TB can provide several weeks of retention across 8 cameras. Continuous 24-hour recording at maximum resolution across all 8 channels will reduce that figure. Adjusting frame rate and using smart recording schedules extends storage duration further.
- Can I mount these turret cameras on a wall rather than a ceiling or eave?
Yes. The DS-2CD2366G2H-IU is a turret-style camera with an adjustable ball joint that allows the lens to be angled independently of the base. This makes wall mounting viable for fence posts, building corners, and exterior walls where ceiling or eave mounting is not practical. Optional Hikvision mounting accessories such as junction boxes and wall brackets are compatible with these cameras.
- Do all 8 cameras in this kit record audio?
Yes. Each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU includes a built-in microphone that records audio synchronised with the video stream. All 8 camera positions in this kit will capture audio recordings, provided the connected NVR is configured to record the audio channel from each camera. Note that audio recording laws vary by state in Australia and users should confirm local requirements before enabling continuous audio recording.
- What is the maximum cable run between the NVR and each camera?
Standard PoE over structured cabling supports a maximum run of 100 metres per cable from the NVR PoE port to the camera. For installations where cameras need to be placed further than 100 metres from the NVR, a PoE extender or midspan injector would be required. Each camera also supports 12V DC power as an alternative if a local power source is available at the camera position.
- Is this kit available with technical support if I need help with setup?
This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is supplied with access to product support for setup and configuration queries. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR and DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras operate within the Hikvision ecosystem and are compatible with Hik-Connect for remote viewing on mobile devices once configured through the NVR interface.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e minimum, Cat6 recommended for all PoE camera runs to ensure reliable power delivery and data throughput at full 6MP resolution.
- Maximum Cable Run: 100 metres per cable from the DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR PoE port to each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera. Exceeding this distance will result in PoE power loss and connection instability.
- PoE Considerations: Each camera draws PoE at 802.3af. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P provides PoE across all 8 ports simultaneously within its rated power budget. Verify the NVR total PoE budget if accessories such as PoE switches are added to the network segment.
- Wiring Tips: Run cables inside conduit where exposed to weather or UV. Terminate cables with RJ45 connectors only after running through walls or conduit to avoid damage to the connector during installation. Label each cable at both ends during rough-in to simplify NVR channel assignment at commissioning.
