Product Overview
For medium to large installations requiring audio evidence, AcuSense classification, and 16-channel PoE recording in a single package, this Hikvision kit brings together 10 DS-2CD2366G2H-IU turret cameras and the DS-7616NI-I2/16P Pro Series NVR. Each camera captures 6MP footage at 3200 x 1800 resolution with a 2.8mm fixed lens, suited to eave, soffit, and wall-mounted positions across driveways, entry points, car parks, and building perimeters. Featuring AcuSense human and vehicle classification, Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance, 30m IR night vision, 120 dB true WDR, and IP67-rated housings, the cameras are built for demanding Australian outdoor conditions. Each unit includes a built-in microphone for synchronised audio recording. The DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR adds 16 built-in PoE ports, dual HDD bays, 4K HDMI and VGA output, and remote access via Hik-Connect. No HDD is included and must be selected separately.
Key Capabilities
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU uses AI-based classification to filter out irrelevant motion from animals, rain, and foliage, generating alerts only for confirmed human or vehicle activity. This makes event notifications actionable rather than constant across a 10-camera site.
6MP Resolution Across 10 Cameras
At 3200 x 1800 per camera, the kit delivers detailed footage across all monitored zones. The 1/2.4″ progressive scan CMOS sensor captures enough detail to support incident review for people and vehicle registration at typical eave and entry distances.
Powered-by-DarkFighter Low-Light Imaging
DarkFighter technology achieves a minimum colour illumination of 0.001 Lux, allowing the cameras to maintain visible colour detail in poorly lit conditions. 30m IR takes over in complete darkness, ensuring coverage around the clock at outdoor positions.
Built-In Microphone on Every Camera
Each camera records synchronised audio alongside video, providing a more complete record of events at entry points, car parks, and building perimeters. Audio evidence can assist with incident verification during playback on the NVR or via remote access.
16-Channel PoE NVR with Dual HDD Bays
The DS-7616NI-I2/16P powers all 10 cameras directly over Cat6 Ethernet via 16 built-in PoE ports, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at each camera position. Dual HDD bays allow the system to be scaled with significant local storage capacity as required.
4K Output and Remote Viewing
The NVR supports 4K HDMI and VGA display outputs for on-site monitoring via a connected screen. Remote live view and playback are available through Hik-Connect on compatible mobile and desktop devices when the system is connected to a network.
Best For
- Large Residential Properties: 10 cameras cover multiple entry points, driveways, garages, and perimeter zones with 6MP detail and DarkFighter low-light performance from eave and soffit mounts.
- Small to Medium Commercial Sites: Retail premises, warehouses, and light industrial sites benefit from AcuSense classification across multiple camera positions, reducing alarm fatigue from irrelevant motion events.
- Sites Requiring Audio Evidence: Built-in microphones on all 10 cameras make this kit appropriate where audio context alongside video footage is needed for incident documentation.
- PoE Installations Without Existing Infrastructure: The 16-port PoE NVR simplifies cabling by powering cameras directly over Ethernet, reducing installation time and the number of power points required.
- Systems Designed for Future Expansion: With 6 unused PoE channels available from the outset, the system supports the addition of further cameras as site requirements grow, up to the 16-channel NVR limit.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2366G2H-IU and DS-7616NI-I2/16P Kit
This kit separates itself from entry-level packages through the combination of AcuSense classification, DarkFighter low-light capability, and built-in microphones on every camera. Where a basic 2MP or non-AI kit records footage continuously without filtering, the DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras actively categorise motion as human or vehicle before triggering alerts, making the system far more practical to manage across a 10-camera deployment. The 120 dB true WDR handles high-contrast scenes such as entry doorways or bright sunlight on a car park. The DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR decodes at up to 2 channels at 12MP or 16 channels at 1080p simultaneously and supports two HDD bays for substantial local storage. Installers and integrators sourcing through Security Wholesalers can pair this kit with compatible Cat6 cable and junction box accessories to complete the installation efficiently.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
HDD Selection: The DS-7616NI-I2/16P supports up to 2 HDDs across its dual bays. With 10 cameras recording 6MP footage continuously, storage consumption is significant. At 6MP with H.265+ compression, plan for a minimum of 4TB per HDD bay for multi-day retention. Surveillance-rated drives (CMR, not SMR) are recommended for NVR use. Select your HDD at the time of purchase to avoid delays in commissioning the system.
Lens Choice and Camera Placement: All 10 cameras in this kit are supplied with 2.8mm fixed lenses, providing a wide-angle field of view suited to entry points, corridors, and open areas at close to medium range. If any camera positions require a narrower field of view for longer distances such as a driveway or gate approach beyond 10-15 metres, a 4mm lens variant may be more appropriate for those specific positions. Plan camera placements before ordering to confirm the 2.8mm lens suits every location on your site.

Ideal Use Cases
Multi-Zone Residential Perimeters
Larger homes with multiple entry points, side gates, garages, and rear yards benefit from 10 cameras covering every access point. IP67 weatherproofing and DarkFighter performance handle varied Australian outdoor conditions across all mounted positions.
Retail and Small Commercial Premises
AcuSense classification filters nuisance alerts on busy shopfronts and car parks, flagging only human and vehicle events. Built-in microphones on each camera support audio recording at till areas, entry doors, and loading zones.
Warehouses and Light Industrial Sites
With 10 turret cameras covering internal and external zones, the kit addresses stock monitoring, vehicle movements at loading docks, and perimeter access. The 16-port PoE NVR keeps cabling consolidated to a single recorder location.
Car Parks and Driveways
Vehicle classification through AcuSense detects cars and people entering and exiting, with 120 dB WDR managing the bright ambient light common in open car park environments during daylight hours.
After-Hours Monitoring of Business Premises
DarkFighter and 30m IR provide consistent coverage through the night at entrances and around building exteriors. AcuSense ensures that after-hours human intrusion events trigger alerts rather than ambient movement from wind or passing animals.
Sites Planning Future Camera Additions
The DS-7616NI-I2/16P supports 16 PoE channels and this kit uses 10, leaving 6 ports available for additional cameras as the site expands. The dual HDD bays allow storage to be increased independently as the number of recording cameras grows.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: Your site requires 10 camera positions, AcuSense AI classification, synchronised audio recording on every camera, and a 16-channel PoE NVR with room to expand, all sourced as a matched system.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site only needs 4 to 6 cameras, in which case a smaller channel NVR kit would reduce both upfront cost and unused capacity. If active deterrence with strobe and siren is a priority, an alternative kit with AcuSense cameras featuring built-in alarm output would be more appropriate for that requirement.
- Consider a different lens configuration if: Any camera positions require coverage beyond 15 metres along a narrow corridor, driveway, or fenceline, where a 4mm lens would provide a tighter field of view better suited to that distance.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive for the NVR?
No. The DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR is supplied without an HDD. You will need to select a compatible surveillance-rated hard drive separately at the time of purchase. The NVR supports up to 2 HDDs across its dual bays. Given that 10 cameras are recording at 6MP, a minimum of 4TB per drive is recommended for practical retention periods.
- What does AcuSense do and why does it matter across a 10-camera system?
AcuSense analyses motion detected by each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera and classifies the trigger as either a human, a vehicle, or an irrelevant object such as an animal or blowing foliage. Only human and vehicle events generate push alerts. Across 10 cameras monitoring busy outdoor areas, this significantly reduces the volume of false notifications and makes event search during playback faster and more targeted.
- Can I add more cameras to this system in the future?
Yes. The DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR has 16 PoE ports and this kit uses 10 of them, leaving 6 ports available for additional Hikvision IP cameras. Cameras added must be compatible with the NVR. Storage capacity may also need to be increased as additional cameras are added, which can be addressed by installing a second HDD in the unused HDD bay.
- Do all 10 cameras record audio as well as video?
Yes. Every DS-2CD2366G2H-IU in this kit includes a built-in microphone that records audio synchronised to the video stream. This audio is stored on the NVR alongside the video footage and is accessible during playback. Note that audio recording laws vary by state in Australia, so confirm your obligations regarding audio surveillance in your jurisdiction before enabling this feature.
- How does DarkFighter differ from standard IR-only cameras at night?
Standard IR cameras produce monochrome footage in low-light conditions by switching to black-and-white infrared mode. DarkFighter technology allows the DS-2CD2366G2H-IU to maintain colour imaging at extremely low light levels (0.001 Lux), with the 30m IR range activating in complete darkness. This means colour detail such as clothing or vehicle colour may still be visible in dimly lit outdoor areas where a standard camera would show only greyscale footage.
- What cabling do I need to connect the cameras to the NVR?
Each camera connects to the DS-7616NI-I2/16P via a single Cat6 Ethernet cable, which carries both data and PoE power from the NVR. No separate power cabling is required at each camera position. Cat6 is recommended over Cat5e for runs approaching the 100-metre maximum. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available through Security Wholesalers to suit different installation distances.
- Can I view the cameras remotely from my phone?
Yes. The DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR supports remote access via the Hik-Connect application on compatible mobile and desktop devices. When the NVR is connected to a network with internet access, live view, event playback, and system notifications can be accessed remotely. Network configuration including port forwarding or Hik-Connect cloud registration is required during setup.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera runs from the NVR to each DS-2CD2366G2H-IU camera position. Cat6 provides adequate bandwidth for 6MP streams and sufficient conductors to carry PoE power reliably.
- Maximum Cable Run: The maximum recommended single Ethernet cable run for PoE is 100 metres. Runs beyond this length will result in power delivery issues and potential signal degradation. Plan camera positions to ensure each location is reachable within this limit from the NVR location.
- PoE Considerations: All 16 PoE ports on the DS-7616NI-I2/16P are built in, so no separate PoE switch is required for up to 16 cameras. The total PoE budget of the NVR should be considered if a full 16-camera load is deployed. Confirm the NVR PoE budget against the total camera power draw when fully populated.
- Wiring Tips: Use a junction box such as the Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM21 at each camera position to provide a neat cable termination point and protect the cable entry from moisture ingress, particularly at outdoor eave and wall-mount locations. Where cables pass through cavities or exposed outdoor runs, use appropriate conduit to protect the cable from UV degradation and physical damage.
