Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with full-colour night vision, this Hikvision 8MP Hybrid ColorVu kit pairs 4 x DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL turret cameras with an 8-channel PoE NVR pre-loaded with a 4TB hard drive. Each camera features Smart Hybrid Light technology, which runs infrared for discreet low-light recording and automatically switches to white light when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle – triggering full-colour imaging and optionally activating the built-in strobe. The built-in microphone and speaker allow two-way audio communication directly from each camera. Equipped with a 1/1.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor, the cameras capture 3840 x 2160 resolution at 25fps with 130dB WDR and an F1.0 Super Confocal lens rated at 0.0005 Lux in colour mode. The 8-channel NVR includes 8 PoE ports for cable-only installation and supports 4K recording. With 4 camera positions occupied, the NVR has capacity to add further cameras across the remaining 4 channels.
Key Capabilities
Smart Hybrid Light Technology
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL runs in infrared mode by default for discreet nighttime monitoring, then automatically switches to white light when AcuSense confirms a human or vehicle is present. This means full-colour footage is captured precisely when identification matters most, without flooding the area with constant white light.
Built-In Strobe and Two-Way Audio
Each camera includes a built-in microphone, speaker, and strobe light. When a detection event is triggered, the strobe can activate as a visible deterrent while the audio capability allows a monitoring operator to communicate directly with anyone in the camera’s field of view, all from the camera unit itself.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep learning classification separates humans and vehicles from other motion sources such as animals, foliage, or insects. Detection events are filtered at the camera level, so the NVR receives cleaner alarm triggers and event logs contain genuinely relevant footage rather than constant background motion.
8MP 4K Resolution with F1.0 Super Confocal Lens
At 3840 x 2160 and 25fps, footage contains sufficient detail for post-event review across wide scenes. The F1.0 aperture paired with a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux in colour mode means these cameras maintain usable image quality in very low ambient light without relying solely on IR.
8-Channel PoE NVR with 4TB Storage
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P provides 8 PoE ports, so each camera is powered and connected over a single run of Cat cable with no separate power supply required. The included 4TB hard drive and 4K recording capability means the system is ready to record from day one, with 4 channels remaining open for future expansion.
130dB WDR and IP67 Weather Protection
Wide dynamic range of 130dB preserves detail in scenes with strong contrast between bright and shadowed areas, such as a shopfront with internal lighting behind a dark entry. IP67 rating ensures each camera is fully sealed against dust ingress and water jets, making the turret housing suitable for exposed outdoor mounting positions.
Best For
- Residential Properties: The hybrid light approach keeps IR active during quiet periods and only triggers white light on confirmed human or vehicle detection, making it suited to homes where constant floodlighting would be intrusive to neighbours.
- Small Commercial Sites: Shopfronts, warehouses, and small business entries benefit from the strobe deterrence and two-way audio, which allow a response without requiring on-site security staff.
- Driveways and Entry Points: The 40m IR range and choice of 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens mean each camera can be positioned to cover a driveway approach, gate, or building entry with appropriate field of view for the installation distance.
- Sites Needing Future Expansion: With 4 of 8 PoE channels used, the NVR supports the addition of up to 4 more cameras without requiring a recorder upgrade.
- Installers Seeking a Complete Solution: The kit arrives with NVR, pre-installed 4TB HDD, and 4 cameras, reducing procurement steps and ensuring component compatibility from the outset.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL Kit
A standard ColorVu turret camera produces white light continuously once darkness falls. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL operates differently: it defaults to infrared and only activates white light after AcuSense confirms a human or vehicle is present. This distinction matters for properties where permanent white light floodlighting is unwanted. The addition of a built-in strobe and speaker on each camera unit means deterrence and communication do not require a separate device. At 8MP with an F1.0 Super Confocal lens and 130dB WDR, the cameras capture usable detail in demanding lighting conditions. Paired with the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR, which delivers 4K recording, 8 PoE ports, and a pre-installed 4TB HDD, this kit is available at Security Wholesalers as a complete, ready-to-install system without the need to source components separately.
Package Inclusions
- 4 x DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL – 8MP Smart Hybrid Light ColorVu Turret Camera (2.8mm or 4mm Fixed Lens, 40m IR, Built-In Mic, Strobe and Speaker)
- 1 x DS-7608NI-M2-8P – 8CH PoE NVR (8 PoE Ports, 4K Recording, 4TB HDD Pre-Installed)
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection: The 2.8mm lens provides a 114.5 degree field of view suited to wide-area coverage such as a yard, car park, or large room entry. The 4mm lens narrows to approximately 92 degrees and delivers more reach for longer driveways, gate entries, or corridors where distance detail matters. If you need different lenses across individual camera positions in this kit, note this in the order comments at checkout and the correct units will be supplied.
White Light and Strobe Behaviour: The Smart Hybrid Light system can be configured so that white light activates only on AcuSense-confirmed detections, or it can be set to activate on any motion depending on the installation requirement. For properties adjacent to neighbours or public roads, configuring the white light to trigger only on human or vehicle confirmation will reduce unnecessary activation. The strobe operates as a separate deterrence function and can also be enabled or disabled based on site preference.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveways and Entry Gates
The 40m IR range and AcuSense-triggered white light mean a driveway camera remains unobtrusive during quiet periods. When a vehicle or person approaches, the system switches to full-colour recording automatically, capturing number plate or face detail without requiring continuous floodlighting.
Retail Shopfronts
Mounted above a shopfront entry, the built-in strobe and speaker allow staff monitoring remotely to address loitering or after-hours activity without dispatching security. The 130dB WDR handles the contrast between a brightly lit interior and a darker exterior entry typical of shopfront installations.
Small Warehouse and Light Industrial
Four cameras can be positioned across loading dock entries, external yard perimeters, and access points. The IP67 rating and 40m IR range make the turret housing practical on exterior walls where exposure to weather and varying light conditions is expected.
Multi-Entry Properties
A property with a front entry, rear gate, side access, and car port can deploy all 4 cameras across distinct points. The 8-channel NVR then provides room to add further cameras to internal or perimeter positions as requirements grow, without replacing the recorder.
Childcare and Education Facilities
External drop-off and pick-up zones can be monitored with AcuSense filtering to reduce event log noise from vehicle movements, while the two-way audio capability on each camera allows communication with parents or visitors at entry points after hours.
Short-Term or Construction Site Monitoring
The combination of built-in local SD card storage (up to 512GB per camera) and PoE NVR recording provides dual redundancy. Sites with temporary power or network setups benefit from having camera-level storage as a fallback if the NVR connection is interrupted.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need active deterrence built into each camera without additional accessories, require AcuSense-filtered event recording to a local PoE NVR, and want the flexibility to run IR-only mode by default with white light triggered only on confirmed human or vehicle detection.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires cameras covering distances beyond 40m at night, in which case a bullet-style camera with a longer IR range and narrower field of view would be more appropriate for those specific positions. Similarly, if the installation is entirely indoors with no outdoor exposure, a camera without IP67 weatherproofing and without strobe deterrence may be a more economical fit.
- Choose a different channel count if: Your site has more than 4 camera positions already confirmed, or you anticipate expansion beyond 8 channels in the near term. A higher-channel NVR kit would avoid the need to upgrade the recorder later.
FAQs
- What is the difference between Smart Hybrid Light and standard ColorVu on the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL?
Standard ColorVu cameras produce white light continuously once ambient light drops below a threshold, which means the area is permanently illuminated at night. The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL uses Smart Hybrid Light to run in infrared mode by default and only activates white light when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle. This results in full-colour footage for confirmed events while keeping the site dark between detections.
- Does the kit require any additional equipment to start recording?
No. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR is supplied with a 4TB HDD pre-installed and includes 8 PoE ports to power and connect each camera over a single Cat cable run. The kit is designed to be operational once cameras are mounted, cabled to the NVR, and basic setup is completed through the NVR interface. No separate power injectors or additional storage purchases are required to begin recording.
- Can I mix 2.8mm and 4mm cameras in the same kit order?
Yes. If you require different lenses across individual camera positions, specify the preferred lens for each camera unit in the order comments at checkout. The kit will be supplied with the confirmed lens configurations rather than a uniform set.
- How does AcuSense filtering affect event recordings on the NVR?
AcuSense processes motion at the camera level using deep learning to classify detected objects as human, vehicle, or other. Only confirmed human or vehicle detections are passed to the NVR as alarm events. This reduces the volume of triggered recordings caused by animals, insects, or foliage movement, making event review more efficient and keeping storage consumption focused on relevant footage.
- What cable is required to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Each camera connects to one of the 8 PoE ports on the DS-7608NI-M2-8P via a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This single cable carries both data and power to the camera. Maximum recommended PoE cable run is typically 100 metres per port. No coaxial cable or separate power cabling is required for this kit.
- Is the strobe light on each camera always active, or can it be configured?
The strobe operates as a configurable deterrence output. It can be set to activate on AcuSense-confirmed detections, on any motion trigger, or disabled entirely depending on the installation requirement. This allows sites that need active deterrence only in specific conditions to configure the behaviour accordingly rather than having the strobe fire on every detection event.
- Where can I purchase this kit and is support available?
This Hikvision 8MP Hybrid ColorVu kit is available through Security Wholesalers, which supplies the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL cameras and the DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR as a complete bundle. Technical support and warranty assistance are provided for the full system. If you have pre-purchase questions about lens selection, PoE cable runs, or NVR configuration, contact the Security Wholesalers team before ordering.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable for each camera to NVR PoE port connection.
- Maximum Cable Run: Up to 100 metres per camera run from NVR PoE port to camera under standard PoE.
- PoE Considerations: Each of the 8 PoE ports on the DS-7608NI-M2-8P powers one camera. No separate PoE injectors or power supplies are required for the 4 included cameras. The 4 unused ports are available for future camera additions.
- Wiring Tips: Run Cat cable through conduit where exposed to UV or mechanical damage on external walls. Allow sufficient cable slack at the camera end for bracket alignment and maintenance access. Label each cable run at both the NVR and camera end during installation to simplify future troubleshooting.
