Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision across 6 camera positions, this Hikvision 8MP ColorVu 3.0 Hybrid CCTV kit is built for residential and commercial sites where lighting conditions vary and where passive recording alone is not enough. Each DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL turret camera operates with a Smart Hybrid Light system that switches between full-colour white light, traditional infrared, or an intelligent Smart Mode that activates white light only when humans or vehicles are detected. Featuring an F1.0 Super Aperture lens and AcuSense detection, the cameras distinguish people and vehicles from background movement to keep event lists meaningful. The built-in speaker and strobe on every camera allow real-time audio-visual responses when intrusion events are triggered. The kit is completed by a DS-7608NI-M2-8P 8-channel PoE NVR loaded with a 4TB hard drive, providing plug-and-play connectivity across all 6 cameras with 2 HDD bays for storage expansion.
Key Capabilities
Smart Hybrid Light System
Each camera supports 3 independently selectable lighting modes: 24/7 full-colour white light, infrared-only for low-disruption monitoring, or Smart Mode which automatically switches to white light when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle target. This flexibility suits installations where constant white light is not appropriate in all zones.
Built-In Strobe and Speaker
Every camera in this kit carries a built-in strobe light and speaker, allowing site-specific active deterrence responses when a line-crossing or intrusion event is triggered. Audio warnings and flashing alerts are configurable through the NVR or Hik-Connect app, making real-time intervention possible without a separate alarm panel.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense classification filters event triggers to confirmed human and vehicle targets only, reducing notifications driven by animals, foliage, or light changes. For a 6-camera system across a larger property or commercial site, this keeps recorded events and push notifications focused on what actually matters.
ColorVu 3.0 with F1.0 Aperture
The F1.0 Super Aperture lens combined with ColorVu 3.0 imaging delivers full-colour footage in near-zero lux conditions. AI WDR, HikAI-ISP noise reduction, and 3D LUT colour correction all work together to retain accurate colour rendering and contrast in challenging lighting including mixed artificial and natural light environments.
8CH PoE NVR with 4TB Storage
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P provides 8 plug-and-play PoE ports at 128Mbps total throughput, supporting 4K playback across all channels. A 4TB hard drive is included and a second HDD bay allows direct storage expansion without replacing the recorder. All 6 cameras connect over a single CAT cable run per camera with no separate power supply required.
Two-Way Audio on Every Camera
Each DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL includes a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling two-way audio communication directly through the camera. This supports remote verbal warnings via Hik-Connect and allows real-time voice contact at each camera location without additional intercom hardware.
Best For
- Mixed Lighting Environments: Smart Mode selectively activates white light on human or vehicle detection only, making the system well suited to driveways, side access ways, and entry points where full-time white light illumination would be intrusive.
- Sites Requiring Active Deterrence: The built-in strobe and speaker on all 6 cameras allow a configurable alert response at each camera location the moment an intrusion event is classified by AcuSense.
- Larger Residential and Small Commercial Properties: With 6 cameras and an 8-channel NVR, this kit suits properties needing coverage across multiple access points, outbuildings, car parking areas, and perimeter zones under a single recorder.
- Simplified PoE Installations: The 8 plug-and-play PoE ports on the DS-7608NI-M2-8P mean each camera needs only a single CAT cable run, removing the need for separate injectors or power supplies across the installation.
- Properties Where Lens Flexibility Matters: The 2.8mm lens option provides a 108.8-degree horizontal field of view for broader coverage at shorter distances, while the 4mm lens extends detection range to 109m. Different lenses can be requested per camera position at the time of order.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL and DS-7608NI-M2-8P Kit
A standard 8MP camera kit records what happens. This kit is built to respond to it. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL goes beyond passive recording by combining AcuSense human and vehicle classification with an on-camera strobe and speaker, so each camera position can issue an audible and visual deterrent the moment a genuine target is confirmed. The Smart Hybrid Light system means white light does not activate constantly, preserving the deterrent impact for when it is actually needed. ColorVu 3.0 imaging with the F1.0 aperture ensures footage retains full colour even in low-light conditions where a standard infrared camera would return only greyscale. The included DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR adds 4TB of recording storage with a second bay for expansion, and 128Mbps throughput handles 4K streams from all 6 cameras simultaneously without frame loss. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit is designed for buyers who need a complete, pre-matched system with deterrence built in at the camera level.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection per Camera Position: The 2.8mm lens covers a 108.8-degree horizontal field of view and suits wide entry points, garages, and areas where broad coverage at moderate range is needed. The 4mm lens narrows to 93.3 degrees but extends detection distance to 109m, making it better suited to long driveways, fence lines, and corridors. If your installation requires a mix of both lenses across the 6 camera positions, note this in the order comments at checkout and the correct cameras will be packed accordingly.
Storage Planning with 2 HDD Bays: The DS-7608NI-M2-8P ships with a 4TB drive installed. Recording duration across 6 cameras at 8MP depends on motion-triggered versus continuous recording settings and compression configuration. If continuous 24/7 recording at full resolution across all 6 channels is required, consider adding a second drive to the spare HDD bay at installation time rather than retrofitting it later. The NVR supports 2 drives with no RAID requirement.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Properties with Multiple Access Points
6 cameras with an 8-channel NVR allows simultaneous coverage of a front driveway, rear yard, side gates, and garage. Smart Mode activates white light only when AcuSense confirms a human or vehicle, keeping disruption minimal while ensuring colour footage when it counts.
Retail and Shopfront Premises
The strobe and speaker on each camera allow after-hours deterrence without a monitored alarm. AcuSense classification means after-hours alerts are triggered by people crossing configured zones, not by ambient movement, keeping intervention responses accurate.
Warehouses and Industrial Yards
Long detection ranges of up to 109m with the 4mm lens suit large open areas and yard perimeters. Full-colour footage at night via ColorVu 3.0 means vehicle registrations and clothing colours remain visible in footage even in areas with minimal ambient lighting.
Car Parks and Driveways
The 2.8mm lens at 108.8 degrees suits wide entry lanes and bays. AcuSense vehicle detection triggers Smart Mode lighting specifically when a car enters a zone, capturing colour detail at the moment of entry rather than continuously illuminating the area.
Schools and Childcare Facilities
Two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker on each camera supports verbal communication at drop-off zones, gates, and entry points. Combined with 8MP resolution and 4K playback from the NVR, detailed identification footage is available for any incident review.
Properties Requiring Remote Monitoring
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR integrates with Hik-Connect, allowing remote live view, event push notifications, and two-way audio interaction through the mobile app. AcuSense filtering ensures only human and vehicle events trigger notifications, keeping remote monitoring practical.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 6 cameras with active deterrence built in at each position, want Smart Hybrid Light flexibility to choose between infrared and colour modes per zone, and require a complete plug-and-play system with a matched 8-channel PoE NVR and 4TB storage ready to install.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires more than 6 camera positions at install with no capacity to expand later. This NVR has 2 unused channels for future cameras, but if you need 8 camera positions from day one, a separate 8-camera kit would be the more appropriate starting point. If active deterrence and strobe functionality are not required, a standard fixed turret kit without the built-in speaker and strobe would offer a lower entry cost for the same 8MP resolution and PoE NVR combination.
FAQs
- Can I request a mix of 2.8mm and 4mm lenses across the 6 cameras in this kit?
Yes. If your installation requires different lens sizes at different positions, simply note the required configuration in the order comments at checkout. For example, you can request 4 cameras at 2.8mm for wide entry coverage and 2 cameras at 4mm for longer-range coverage of a driveway or fence line. The kit will be packed accordingly.
- What is Smart Mode and how does it differ from the infrared and white light modes?
Smart Mode is an intelligent hybrid setting where the camera operates in infrared by default and automatically switches to white light when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle. This means colour footage is captured at the moment a genuine target enters the scene, while avoiding continuous white light illumination in quieter periods. Infrared-only and full-time white light are also available as fixed selections per camera.
- Does the DS-7608NI-M2-8P have room to add more cameras after the initial 6 are connected?
Yes. The NVR has 8 channels and 8 PoE ports, so with 6 cameras connected at install you have 2 ports and 2 recording channels available for future camera additions without any hardware changes to the recorder.
- How does AcuSense reduce unwanted notifications on a 6-camera system?
AcuSense classifies motion events as human, vehicle, or other. Only human and vehicle detections trigger push notifications and the active deterrence strobe or speaker response. Background movement from animals, wind-blown vegetation, or light changes is categorised separately and does not activate alerts. For a multi-camera site, this keeps notification volume proportionate to actual events.
- Is the strobe and speaker response automatic or does it require manual activation?
Both automatic and manual modes are supported. The strobe and speaker can be configured to trigger automatically when AcuSense classifies a human or vehicle crossing a defined zone. Alternatively, the deterrence response can be triggered manually by an operator viewing live footage through the NVR interface or the Hik-Connect mobile app.
- How much recording time does the included 4TB drive provide across all 6 cameras?
Recording duration depends on resolution settings, compression type, and whether recording is continuous or motion-triggered. Motion-triggered recording at 8MP across 6 cameras on a 4TB drive can provide several weeks of footage under typical conditions. Continuous 24/7 recording at full resolution will reduce this significantly. Using the spare second HDD bay to add a second drive at installation is recommended for sites with high-traffic zones recorded continuously.
- Does this kit support remote access and mobile viewing?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P integrates with Hik-Connect, Hikvision’s mobile and web platform. This allows live viewing across all channels, event playback, push notifications filtered by AcuSense classification, and two-way audio communication through any camera in the kit. This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is supplied with full Hikvision firmware and app compatibility.
- What is the detection range of these cameras and does it vary by lens?
Yes. With the 2.8mm lens, the camera detects a human at up to 89m and observes at 35m, with a 108.8-degree horizontal field of view. The 4mm lens extends detection range to 109m and observation to 43m, with a narrower 93.3-degree field of view. For large open areas or long approaches, the 4mm lens provides greater usable range. For wide coverage at shorter distances such as entry points and car bays, the 2.8mm lens is the more practical choice.
