Product Overview
Properties requiring 8-camera coverage with built-in active deterrence will find this Hikvision kit a purpose-built solution rather than a generic camera-plus-recorder combination. The package pairs 8 x DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL 8MP ColorVu turret cameras with a DS-7608NI-M2-8P 8-channel PoE NVR preloaded with a 4TB hard drive. Each camera delivers full-colour imaging day and night using ColorVu technology, with AcuSense detection to filter events by human and vehicle targets. The built-in siren and strobe on every camera allow the system to respond actively when a trigger is detected, making it suited to driveways, shopfronts, warehouse entries, and yard perimeters where a visible response is needed. The NVR connects all 8 cameras over a single PoE cable per camera using its 8 Plug-and-Play ports, and the dual HDD bay means storage can be expanded beyond the included 4TB when longer retention is required.
Key Capabilities
8MP ColorVu Full-Colour Night Vision
Each DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL camera uses ColorVu technology to produce colour video at night without relying on IR monochrome switching. This matters for identifying clothing colours, vehicle colours, and distinguishing people at entry points or along fence lines in low-light conditions.
Active Deterrence: Siren and Strobe on Every Camera
Each camera in this kit carries a built-in siren and strobe light. When AcuSense detects a human or vehicle target, the camera can trigger an audible alarm and flashing light directly at the source, discouraging intrusion before it escalates to a recording-only event.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense classifies motion events by human or vehicle, reducing notifications triggered by wind, animals, or shadows. For busy yards and shopfronts this means the system sends meaningful alerts rather than generating constant false triggers during the day or overnight.
8-Channel PoE NVR with 8 PnP Ports
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR powers and connects all 8 cameras through a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera using its 8 Plug-and-Play PoE ports. No separate PoE switch is needed, which reduces cabling complexity and keeps the installation clean for residential or commercial sites.
4TB Hard Drive Included with Dual HDD Bay
The NVR ships with a 4TB hard drive already installed, allowing the system to record immediately without additional purchases. The dual HDD bay means a second drive can be added later if longer retention periods or continuous recording across all 8 cameras is required.
IP67 Weather Rating and 30m IR Range
Each turret camera carries an IP67 rating, making it suitable for exposed outdoor positions including eaves, fascias, external walls, and covered carports where rain and dust are factors. The 30m IR range supplements the ColorVu illumination for scene awareness at distance after dark.
Best For
- Residential Properties with Multiple Entry Points: The 8-camera configuration covers front driveways, rear yards, side gates, and garage areas simultaneously, all feeding back to a single NVR with 4TB storage and no separate switch required.
- Small to Medium Commercial Sites: Shopfronts, trade yards, and small warehouses benefit from AcuSense filtering and the siren-strobe deterrence on each camera, reducing after-hours intrusion attempts at external perimeter points.
- Locations Where Colour Identification Matters at Night: The DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL produces colour video in darkness using ColorVu, which is directly useful for identifying vehicle colours or clothing at entry points where IR-only cameras would produce monochrome footage.
- Sites Needing Immediate Active Response Capability: Each camera can trigger its own siren and strobe independently when a human or vehicle is detected, making this kit suitable for unmanned sites, gated properties, and storage facilities operating outside business hours.
- Installers Commissioning a Complete Plug-and-Play System: The 8 PnP PoE ports on the DS-7608NI-M2-8P auto-detect Hikvision cameras, and the 4TB drive is pre-installed, meaning commissioning requires only cabling rather than additional configuration purchases.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL + DS-7608NI-M2-8P Kit
Most 8-camera kits in this resolution bracket ship with standard IR cameras that produce black-and-white footage after dark. This kit replaces that approach entirely: every DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL camera uses ColorVu to deliver colour video around the clock, and each unit adds a built-in siren and strobe that can respond actively to AcuSense-confirmed human or vehicle detections. That combination of colour night imaging, smart event filtering, and on-camera deterrence is not a feature of standard 8MP turret kits at this price point. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR supports 4K playback, includes 8 dedicated PoE ports for clean single-cable installation, and arrives with a 4TB drive already fitted. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit is a pre-matched system designed to operate from day one without sourcing components separately.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning at 8MP Across 8 Cameras: Recording 8 channels of 8MP video continuously will consume the 4TB drive faster than lower-resolution systems. Calculate your expected retention requirement before installing: motion-triggered recording across all 8 cameras will extend storage considerably compared to 24/7 continuous recording. If you require more than 7 to 10 days of continuous retention, plan to add a second hard drive to the NVR’s second HDD bay after installation.
Lens Customisation Available at Checkout: All 8 cameras in this kit ship with the standard 2.8mm lens by default, which provides a wide field of view suited to entry points and open areas. If your installation requires a narrower focal length for longer corridor coverage or a specific camera position, note your preferred lens or IR range in the order comments at checkout and the correct cameras will be dispatched.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Perimeter Coverage
8 ColorVu turret cameras provide enough positions to cover every external angle of a residential property including driveway, rear yard, side access, and garage. The IP67 rating supports exposed eave and fascia mounting at any of these locations.
Retail Shopfront and Car Park Monitoring
AcuSense filtering reduces false alerts in busy retail environments where foot traffic and vehicle movement are constant. ColorVu colour imaging at night assists in identifying individuals and vehicles in poorly lit car parks after trading hours.
Small Warehouse and Storage Facility
Unmanned warehouses and storage yards benefit from the siren and strobe deterrence on each DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL camera. When AcuSense detects a human after hours, the camera triggers immediately without waiting for a monitoring centre response.
Gated and Fenced Properties
Properties with defined perimeters such as gated driveways, rear lane access, or fenced yards gain visible deterrence from the strobe-equipped cameras at each access point, supported by full-colour imaging for detailed event review.
Childcare Centres and Schools
The 8MP resolution at 4K allows the system to cover entry zones, drop-off areas, and external playgrounds with enough detail for incident review. The NVR’s 4TB storage supports extended retention across all 8 channels.
Trade and Construction Sites
Construction yards and trade premises with after-hours theft risk benefit from the active deterrence configuration. Each camera’s siren and strobe can be triggered on AcuSense detection, providing an immediate on-site response at each covered zone without a separate alarm panel.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 8 cameras with colour night vision, active deterrence on every camera, and AcuSense human/vehicle filtering, all connected through a single PoE NVR with storage included and ready to record from installation.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires more than 8 camera positions, in which case a 16-channel NVR kit would be more appropriate. If active deterrence and colour night vision are not required, a standard 8MP turret kit without ColorVu or strobe features may suit the budget better.
- Choose a different kit if: You need PTZ cameras for wide-area tracking or motorised zoom for long-distance coverage, as the fixed 2.8mm lens on each turret camera in this kit suits wide-angle coverage rather than long-range identification at distance beyond DORI parameters.
FAQs
- Does this kit include all cables needed for installation?
The kit includes the 8 cameras, the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR, and a 4TB hard drive pre-installed. Network cables (Cat5e or Cat6) are not included and need to be run separately from the NVR’s 8 PoE ports to each camera location. Conduit, connectors, and mounting hardware are also sourced separately based on your specific installation.
- How far can each camera be installed from the NVR?
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P delivers PoE power and network data to each camera over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Standard PoE maximum cable distance is 100 metres per run. If your camera positions exceed this distance, a PoE extender or additional network switch may be needed for those runs.
- Can I choose a different lens for some of the cameras when ordering?
Yes. The cameras in this kit default to a 2.8mm lens, which provides a wide field of view suited to driveways, entries, and open areas. If you need a narrower focal length for a specific position, note your requirements in the order comments at checkout and the appropriate cameras will be dispatched.
- What triggers the siren and strobe on the DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL cameras?
The siren and strobe are triggered by AcuSense detection events. When the camera identifies a human or vehicle in the detection zone, the active deterrence response can be set to activate. This is configured through the NVR or Hik-Connect app, giving you control over sensitivity, schedule, and response type for each camera independently.
- How much recording time does the 4TB hard drive provide across 8 cameras?
Recording duration depends on the recording mode, frame rate, and compression settings. With motion-triggered recording at 8MP across 8 cameras, 4TB typically provides several weeks of storage. Continuous 24/7 recording at full resolution across all 8 channels will reduce this significantly. The dual HDD bay on the NVR allows a second drive to be added without replacing the existing 4TB unit.
- Is the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR compatible with Hik-Connect for remote viewing?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P supports Hik-Connect, allowing live view and playback access via smartphone or tablet remotely. This is useful for monitoring the 8-camera system from offsite without requiring a dedicated VPN or static IP configuration on the network.
- Where can I get support and warranty assistance for this kit?
This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is supplied with a 3-year warranty and support. If you have questions about compatibility, installation, or after-sales service, contact the Security Wholesalers team directly for assistance specific to this kit configuration.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 UTP or FTP network cable is recommended for all camera runs. Shielded cable (FTP/STP) is preferred in environments with significant electrical interference such as near switchboards or industrial equipment.
- Maximum Cable Run: Each camera must be within 100 metres of the NVR’s PoE port via a direct cable run. Runs exceeding this distance will require a PoE extender or an intermediate PoE switch to maintain signal and power delivery.
- PoE Considerations: The DS-7608NI-M2-8P has 8 built-in PoE ports that power all 8 DS-2CD2387G2-LU/SL cameras directly. No external PoE switch or injector is needed when all cameras are within the 100m cable distance limit from the NVR.
- Wiring Tips: Pre-terminate all cable runs before mounting cameras where possible. Use weatherproof RJ45 connectors or junction boxes at external camera positions to protect connections from moisture. If running cable through walls or roof cavities, allow enough slack at each camera position for the turret mount to be adjusted after installation.
