Product Overview
Covering a full property perimeter with 8 cameras demands a system that goes beyond basic night imaging. This 8-camera Hikvision ColorVu 3.0 Hybrid CCTV Kit pairs 8 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL turret cameras with the DS-7608NI-M2-8P 8-channel PoE NVR loaded with a 4TB HDD. Each camera captures 8MP footage at 3840 x 2160 using a 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS and an F1.0 super-confocal lens, delivering full-colour imaging down to 0.0008 Lux. The Smart Hybrid Light system switches between infrared and white-light modes automatically, with up to 30m illumination range on both. AcuSense 3.0 filters motion events to human and vehicle targets only, while the built-in strobe and speaker on every camera allow active deterrence at each location. The NVR connects all 8 cameras over PoE with no additional switches required, supports 4K HDMI output, and stores recordings directly to the included 4TB HDD. Buyers can specify 2.8mm or 4mm lens options per camera at checkout.
Key Capabilities
ColorVu 3.0 Full-Colour Night Imaging
The F1.0 super-confocal lens combined with HikAI-ISP processing and AI 3D LUT colour correction allows each camera to produce colour-accurate footage in near-total darkness. Minimum illumination of 0.0008 Lux means clothing colours, vehicle colours, and facial details are retained across all 8 camera positions throughout the night.
Smart Hybrid Light with 30m Range
Each camera carries both infrared and white-light LEDs reaching up to 30m. Smart mode triggers white light and the strobe only on a detection event, keeping the camera discreet during quiet periods and switching to a visible response when a person or vehicle enters the scene.
AcuSense 3.0 Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense 3.0 deep-learning AI classifies motion as human or vehicle at each camera position, discarding movement from animals, foliage, and weather. Across an 8-camera installation this significantly reduces nuisance alerts and ensures that recorded events contain actionable detections only.
Active Deterrence with Strobe and Speaker
Every camera in this kit includes a built-in strobe light and a smart PA speaker with Audio 2.0 dual-mic array. When triggered, the system can fire an audible alarm and visible strobe at the camera location without requiring a central panel or additional wiring. Two-way audio is supported at each camera via the built-in microphone and speaker.
8-Channel PoE NVR with Plug-and-Play Connection
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR provides 8 built-in PoE ports running at up to 128Mbps aggregate throughput. Each camera connects via a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable carrying both data and power. The NVR outputs at 4K resolution over HDMI or VGA and includes 2 HDD bays for future storage expansion beyond the included 4TB drive.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range and H.265+ Compression
AI WDR at 130dB handles scenes with mixed lighting conditions such as entry points where indoor light meets bright outdoor daylight. H.265+ compression reduces file sizes substantially compared to H.264, extending the usable recording time on the included 4TB HDD without reducing image resolution.
Best For
- Full Property Coverage on Residential Acreage or Large Homes: 8 camera positions allow coverage of all entry points, driveways, side gates, and outdoor areas from a single NVR and a single 4TB storage drive.
- Small to Medium Commercial Sites Needing Active Deterrence: The built-in strobe and speaker on every camera means each monitored zone can produce an on-site deterrent response without additional hardware at each point.
- Sites Where Colour Identification Is Critical at Night: The ColorVu 3.0 F1.0 lens delivers colour-accurate footage in very low light, making it practical for monitoring areas where vehicle colour or clothing detail is needed for after-hours events.
- Installers Running PoE Cabling Across Multiple Zones: Each camera connects over a single Cat5e or Cat6 run back to the NVR with no external PoE switches required, simplifying cable planning across larger properties.
- Sites Requiring Mixed Lens Configurations: The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL is available in 2.8mm and 4mm options, and buyers can specify a different lens per camera at checkout to match varying coverage distances across the installation.
Why Choose the 8MP Hikvision ColorVu 3.0 Hybrid CCTV Kit
A standard 8MP kit without hybrid lighting forces a choice between infrared-only night vision (which produces greyscale footage) or full-time white-light illumination (which creates visible light constantly). The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL resolves this by switching intelligently between IR, white light, and Smart mode, so cameras remain dark until a detection event occurs. Adding AcuSense 3.0 at each of the 8 camera positions means the system is filtering for human and vehicle targets across the entire site simultaneously, not just at a single entry point. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR matches the camera resolution with 4K display output and handles the bandwidth of 8 x 8MP streams within its 128Mbps capacity. The included 4TB HDD and dual bay design provide immediate storage with room to expand. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit is configured and dispatched as a matched system with lens options confirmed at checkout.
Package Inclusions
- 8 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL – 8MP ColorVu 3.0 Hybrid Turret Camera (2.8mm or 4mm lens, IR + White Light to 30m, Strobe + Speaker, AcuSense 3.0, IP67, NEMA 4X)
- 1 x DS-7608NI-M2-8P – 8-Channel PoE NVR (8 PnP PoE Ports, 128Mbps, 4K HDMI and VGA Output, 2 HDD Bay, 4TB HDD included)
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection per Camera: The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL ships in either 2.8mm (108.8 degree horizontal FOV) or 4mm (93.3 degree horizontal FOV). For cameras covering wide open areas such as yards and car parks, the 2.8mm provides broader coverage at closer range. For cameras aimed at driveways, laneways, or entry points where you need more detail at distance, the 4mm is the more suitable choice. You are not locked into a single lens across all 8 cameras. Specify your preferred lens per camera location in the order comments at checkout, and the kit will be dispatched accordingly.
Storage Planning for 8 x 8MP Streams: The DS-7608NI-M2-8P includes 2 HDD bays and ships with a 4TB drive installed. Recording 8 cameras continuously at 8MP will consume storage faster than a lower-resolution system. If your site requires extended continuous recording retention beyond approximately 7 to 14 days at full resolution, consider adding a second HDD to the vacant bay. Recording only on motion or scheduling off-peak periods will extend retention significantly on the included 4TB drive.

Ideal Use Cases
Large Residential Properties
8 camera positions cover all gates, driveways, and outbuildings from a single NVR. AcuSense 3.0 filters animal and environmental movement so that alerts arriving on a mobile app at night relate to actual human or vehicle activity rather than wind or passing headlights.
Retail Stores and Small Commercial Premises
ColorVu 3.0 full-colour night imaging captures clothing colours and facial detail at entrances and car parks after hours. The Smart Hybrid mode keeps cameras in low-profile infrared during quiet periods, switching to visible white-light and strobe on a detection trigger.
Industrial Yards and Warehouses
IP67 and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing suits dusty and wet industrial environments. The active deterrence feature means each camera can respond to an after-hours intrusion at its own location with a strobe and audible alert, covering multiple zones simultaneously without a central monitoring station.
Car Parks and Open-Air Sites
The 2.8mm lens option at 108.8 degrees provides wide area coverage across bays and lanes, while the 130dB WDR handles the contrast between artificial lighting zones and dark perimeter areas. Vehicle classification by AcuSense 3.0 allows recording rules to be set for vehicle entries only.
Schools, Childcare Centres, and Aged Care
The combination of 8MP resolution at each position and AcuSense human detection supports after-hours monitoring of grounds and entry points. The 4TB NVR storage provides sufficient retention for incident review without requiring frequent drive management on a busy site.
Multi-Zone Entry and Exit Monitoring
With 4mm lens cameras positioned at gates, roller doors, and pedestrian entries, the 93.3-degree FOV concentrates coverage on the approach path rather than spilling wide. DORI recognition distance at 4mm reaches 21m, supporting usable face and licence plate detail at standard driveway approach distances.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 8 camera positions with full-colour night imaging, active deterrence at every location, and a PoE NVR that handles the full load without external switches. The included 4TB HDD and dual-bay NVR make this a ready-to-run system for larger residential or small commercial sites.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires fewer than 8 cameras and a smaller NVR footprint. A 4-channel or 6-channel kit from the same ColorVu 3.0 family uses the same camera hardware at a lower entry cost if full 8-position coverage is not needed. If your installation requires cameras beyond 8 positions, this NVR does not support channel expansion beyond its 8 built-in ports without adding a separate recorder.
- Choose a different model if: Long-range detection beyond 30m is a priority at specific positions. Fixed turret cameras with 30m illumination range are suited to near and mid-range monitoring. If a particular zone requires coverage at 50m or beyond, a varifocal or dedicated long-range camera on a separate channel would be more appropriate for that position.
FAQs
- Can I mix 2.8mm and 4mm cameras within the same kit order?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL is available in both 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens versions. At checkout, add a note in the order comments specifying which lens you want at each camera position. The kit will be packed and dispatched with the correct camera models for your configuration.
- Does the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR need an external PoE switch to run 8 cameras?
No. The NVR has 8 built-in PoE PnP ports that power and connect the cameras directly. Each camera runs over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable back to the NVR. No external PoE switch or injector is required for a standard 8-camera installation using this kit.
- What is the difference between the IR mode, White Light mode, and Smart mode on these cameras?
In IR mode the camera uses infrared LEDs only, producing greyscale footage in low light. In White Light mode the supplemental LEDs illuminate the scene in visible light, producing colour footage at night. Smart mode keeps the camera in IR until an AcuSense detection event occurs, at which point white light and the strobe activate. This allows the camera to remain low-profile during quiet periods and switch to a visible response on a confirmed detection.
- How long will the 4TB HDD record 8 x 8MP cameras continuously?
Continuous recording duration depends on frame rate, scene complexity, and compression settings. With H.265+ compression enabled across all 8 channels at standard frame rates, the 4TB drive typically supports 7 to 14 days of continuous footage. Enabling motion-triggered or scheduled recording extends this significantly. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P has a second HDD bay for capacity expansion.
- Does every camera in this kit have a built-in microphone and speaker?
Yes. The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL includes Audio 2.0 with an arrayed dual-mic design and a smart PA speaker at each camera. This supports two-way audio communication and enables the built-in alarm speaker to fire at each camera location independently when a detection event is triggered.
- What is the DORI detection distance for the 2.8mm and 4mm cameras at 8MP?
For the 2.8mm lens, DORI distances are: Detect 89m, Observe 35m, Recognise 17m, Identify 8m. For the 4mm lens: Detect 109m, Observe 43m, Recognise 21m, Identify 10m. For entry-point coverage where recognising individuals is important, the 4mm lens provides a longer usable recognition range. Security Wholesalers can advise on lens selection for specific site layouts if needed.
- Are the cameras in this kit rated for outdoor use in harsh Australian conditions?
Yes. Each DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, making it fully resistant to dust and water jets. The housing also meets NEMA 4X anti-corrosion standards, which is relevant for coastal or high-humidity environments where standard camera housings can degrade over time.
