Product Overview
Combining 10 x 6MP ColorVu AcuSense turret cameras with a 16-channel PoE 8K NVR, this Hikvision kit is built for sites that need full-colour night imaging, intelligent event detection, and active deterrence across multiple points. The DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL cameras use Smart Hybrid Light to switch between IR and white light illumination, delivering colour detail at up to 30m in low-light conditions. Each camera includes a built-in microphone, speaker, and strobe, supporting two-way audio communication and active deterrence responses when triggered. AcuSense deep learning classifies events by person or vehicle, cutting down on alerts from irrelevant movement. The DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR provides 16 PoE ports, up to 256Mbps incoming bandwidth, and 8K HDMI output, with 6 spare channels available for future camera expansion. No HDD is included, so storage must be selected and added separately before recording can begin.
Key Capabilities
6MP ColorVu Full-Colour Imaging
All 10 cameras capture 6MP video with ColorVu 3.0 technology, delivering colour detail in low-light scenes. This is particularly useful for identifying clothing, vehicle colours, and other distinguishing details after dark at driveways, shopfronts, and entry points.
Smart Hybrid Light with 30m Range
Each DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL camera integrates both IR and white light illumination with multiple lighting modes. The 30m supplemental lighting range makes the cameras effective for covering outdoor approaches, yards, and loading areas in varying light conditions.
AcuSense Person and Vehicle Classification
AcuSense deep learning distinguishes humans and vehicles from general environmental motion such as leaves, shadows, or animals. This reduces unnecessary alerts and helps users focus on events that actually require attention across perimeter and access points.
Active Deterrence with Strobe and Audio
The built-in strobe light and audio alarm allow each camera to respond actively to intrusion events. Combined with two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker, the system can warn, communicate, and deter at gates, driveways, warehouses, and perimeter zones.
16CH PoE NVR with Expansion Headroom
The DS-7616NI-M2/16P has 16 PoE channels and supports up to 256Mbps incoming bandwidth. With 10 cameras in this kit, 6 ports remain available for future expansion, giving installers and end users flexibility to grow the system as coverage needs change.
8K HDMI Output and H.265+ Recording
The NVR supports 8K HDMI display output and H.265+ compression, enabling high-resolution local monitoring with efficient storage usage. This matters when running multiple 6MP streams across a larger property or commercial site.
Best For
- Multi-Point Outdoor Coverage: 10 turret cameras with 30m Smart Hybrid Light provide meaningful coverage across driveways, yards, entry paths, carports, and building perimeters without requiring a separate lighting infrastructure.
- After-Hours Deterrence: Built-in strobe, audio alarm, and two-way audio allow the system to respond to intrusion events actively, making it well suited to warehouses, shopfronts, and commercial yards where overnight security matters.
- Expandable Commercial Installations: The 16-channel NVR accepts up to 6 additional compatible IP cameras, making this kit practical for sites that may need to expand coverage progressively over time.
- Colour Evidence Capture: ColorVu 3.0 imaging retains colour detail in low-light and dark scenes, supporting more useful footage for incident review at retail sites, residential properties, and storage facilities.
- Intelligent Alert Management: AcuSense person and vehicle classification reduces notification fatigue, making the system more practical for properties with significant environmental movement such as trees, traffic, or animals nearby.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL and DS-7616NI-M2/16P Kit
This kit separates itself from basic CCTV packages by combining 6MP ColorVu imaging, AcuSense classification, Smart Hybrid Light, and active deterrence into a ready-to-deploy 10-camera system. A simpler camera without AcuSense would generate alerts from any motion, while a camera without ColorVu would lose colour detail in darkness. The DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL addresses both limitations and adds a built-in microphone, speaker, and strobe that a standard turret camera does not include. The DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR supports 8K output and H.265+ recording across all 16 channels with PoE delivery, removing the need for separate power runs to each camera position. The additional 6 spare channels make this a practical long-term investment for properties expecting to grow their camera count. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit suits larger residential properties, commercial sites, warehouses, and retail environments where colour imaging and smart detection are priorities.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Storage Planning: This kit ships with no HDD, so recording capacity depends entirely on the drive you add. For 10 x 6MP cameras recording continuously at standard quality with H.265+ compression, calculate your required days of retention and select a surveillance-grade HDD with appropriate capacity before installation. Under-sizing storage is one of the most common commissioning oversights on multi-camera systems at this resolution.
PoE Cable Runs and Budget: Each camera is powered over the PoE connection from the DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR. Confirm that your cable runs use Cat5e or Cat6 and stay within the 100m PoE distance limit. The NVR has a total PoE power budget, so plan your camera positions and cable lengths before finalising conduit routes, particularly on larger commercial sites or properties with long perimeter runs.

Ideal Use Cases
Large Residential Properties
10 cameras with 30m Smart Hybrid Light and ColorVu imaging provide coverage across driveways, garages, side paths, backyards, and front entries. The active strobe and audio deterrence features add a response layer for after-hours intrusion at residential gates and approaches.
Retail and Shopfront Surveillance
AcuSense person and vehicle classification filters event alerts to relevant activity, reducing notification fatigue in busy retail environments. ColorVu colour retention after dark supports clearer footage at entry doors, loading areas, car parks, and cash-handling zones.
Warehouses and Industrial Yards
The combination of 6MP resolution, 30m illumination, and active deterrence makes these cameras practical for loading docks, roller doors, dispatch zones, external yards, and vehicle movement areas where detail and after-hours deterrence are both important.
Schools, Offices, and Institutional Sites
With 10 cameras and 6 spare NVR channels, this kit covers car parks, staff-only zones, entrances, corridors, and external walkways with room to grow. Two-way audio adds communication capability at reception points or controlled-access areas.
Commercial Perimeter Monitoring
For fences, gates, building edges, and after-hours intrusion points, the built-in strobe and audio alarm can be configured to respond to AcuSense-classified person or vehicle events, reducing false activations and providing a visible deterrent at key perimeter positions.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: Your site needs full-colour night imaging, person and vehicle detection, active deterrence, and two-way audio across 10 or more camera positions, and you want a 16-channel NVR with built-in PoE and headroom for future expansion without replacing the recorder.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site has fewer than 6 camera positions and a simpler recorder with fewer channels would be more cost-effective. Alternatively, if you require only passive recording without deterrence or audio features, a standard turret kit without built-in strobe and speaker may be more appropriate for your budget and application.
- Storage note: If you want a kit that ships ready to record out of the box, select the version of this kit that includes a pre-installed HDD. This no-HDD variant requires a separate compatible surveillance hard drive before any footage can be retained.
FAQs
- What is included in this Hikvision 10 Camera 6MP ColorVu kit?
The kit includes 10 x DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL 6MP ColorVu AcuSense turret cameras and 1 x DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16-channel PoE 8K NVR. No HDD is included. A compatible surveillance hard drive must be sourced and installed separately before the system can store recorded footage.
- Why does this kit have no HDD, and what do I need to add?
This variant is supplied without a hard drive so you can select a storage capacity that suits your retention requirements. For 10 x 6MP cameras recording with H.265+ compression, storage needs vary depending on recording schedules and quality settings. Select a surveillance-grade HDD with enough capacity for your required retention period, typically calculated in days of continuous recording.
- Can I add more cameras to this system later?
Yes. The DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR has 16 PoE channels and this kit uses 10, leaving 6 ports available for additional compatible IP cameras. This makes the system practical for staged installations where coverage requirements are expected to grow over time.
- What does Smart Hybrid Light do differently from standard IR cameras?
Smart Hybrid Light combines IR and white light illumination in the one camera with selectable or adaptive lighting modes. This allows the DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL to deliver colour footage at night using white light, or switch to IR when white light is not appropriate, offering more flexibility than a camera that uses only one illumination type.
- Does this kit support two-way audio communication?
Yes. Each DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL camera includes both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, enabling two-way audio when the system is configured correctly. This is useful for remote communication with visitors, verbal warnings to intruders, or responding to events at entry points and gates. Audio recording and communication must be used in accordance with local privacy and surveillance regulations. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers for professional installations requiring this capability.
- How does the active deterrence function work on these cameras?
When a person or vehicle is classified by AcuSense, the camera can be configured to trigger the built-in strobe light and audio alarm. This active deterrence response can discourage unauthorised activity at driveways, loading docks, perimeter gates, and other after-hours access points without requiring remote operator intervention for every event.
- What is the maximum PoE cable distance for connecting cameras to the NVR?
Standard PoE delivery over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling supports a maximum run of 100m per camera. Camera positions beyond this distance from the NVR will require a PoE switch or mid-span injector placed within 100m of the camera. Plan cable routes carefully on larger properties to stay within this limit at every camera location.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 UTP or FTP is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. Use outdoor-rated or armoured cable where the run is exposed to weather, UV, or mechanical risk.
- Maximum Cable Run: 100m per camera from the NVR PoE port. Runs exceeding 100m will require an intermediate PoE switch positioned within 100m of the camera.
- PoE Considerations: The DS-7616NI-M2/16P delivers PoE across all 16 ports. Confirm the total PoE power budget of the NVR against the power draw of 10 x DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL cameras, particularly when the strobe and audio features are in active use, as these may draw additional current.
- Wiring Tips: Run dedicated cable for each camera back to the NVR in a home-run topology. Avoid daisy-chaining cameras between ports. Label all cable ends at installation to simplify future fault-finding and expansion. For outdoor runs, use weatherproof conduit or cable rated for direct burial where appropriate.
