Product Overview
Sites needing both proactive deterrence and thorough audio-captured coverage can get both from this Hikvision 6MP 8-camera kit, built around two distinct camera roles working together under one recorder. The kit pairs 2 x DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL LiveGuard turret cameras, each equipped with a built-in strobe light, speaker, and microphone for two-way audio deterrence, with 4 x DS-2CD2366G2H-IU AcuSense turret cameras that carry built-in microphones and AcuSense human and vehicle classification. All 6 cameras deliver 6MP resolution, 30m IR night vision, 120 dB True WDR, and IP67 weatherproof housing suited to outdoor eave, soffit, and wall mounting. Recording is handled by the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR, which connects all cameras over a single Cat6 run per camera with no separate power required. No hard drive is included and must be purchased separately before the system can record.
Key Capabilities
Active Deterrence on LiveGuard Cameras
The 2 DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL cameras use a built-in strobe light and speaker to respond to detected intrusions in real time. Two-way audio is supported via the built-in microphone and speaker combination, allowing voice interaction from a connected device when a detection event is triggered.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
All 6 cameras use Hikvision AcuSense technology to separate human and vehicle targets from background movement caused by animals, foliage, or lighting changes. This filters event alerts to motion that is more likely to require attention, reducing unnecessary notifications across all monitored zones.
6MP Resolution with 120 dB True WDR
Each camera captures at 3072 x 2048 on a 1/2.4″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with 120 dB True WDR. This handles demanding lighting conditions such as sun-facing driveways, shopfronts with bright window backlight, or covered entrances where interior and exterior light levels differ significantly.
Built-In Microphone Across All Cameras
All 6 cameras include a built-in microphone, meaning audio is captured at every coverage point in the system. The 4 DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras record audio alongside video for event context, while the 2 LiveGuard models extend this to full two-way audio capability via their built-in speakers.
8-Port PoE NVR with Plug-and-Play Setup
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR has 8 built-in PoE ports delivering power and data over a single Cat6 cable to each camera, removing the need for separate power adaptors at each install point. With 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth and support for up to 8-channel at 8MP decoding, the recorder handles the full 6-camera load with capacity spare.
H.265+ Compression and Dual HDD Bay Storage
H.265+ compression reduces file sizes compared to older codecs, stretching storage further on the same drive capacity. The NVR supports 2 HDD bays, giving the option to add two drives for extended retention or redundancy. No HDD is included in this kit and must be selected and added separately.
Best For
- Mixed Deterrence and Monitoring Layouts: Sites that need active deterrence at primary entry points but straightforward audio-capture monitoring at secondary zones benefit from the split camera roles in this kit.
- Residential Properties with Multiple Outdoor Coverage Points: Six turret cameras cover a home’s full perimeter across driveways, side gates, rear yard, and entry paths, all powered and recorded through a single 8-port PoE NVR.
- Small Commercial Sites Requiring Audio Evidence: Shopfronts, small warehouses, and office entries where audio context alongside video is useful for reviewing incidents benefit from microphone-equipped cameras at every position.
- Installers Wanting Single-Cable Simplicity: With all cameras PoE-powered from the NVR, installation requires only Cat6 cable runs to each camera position, with no secondary power cabling needed at any point.
- Sites with Challenging Backlit or High-Contrast Lighting: Driveways facing morning sun, shopfront windows, or covered carports with mixed light sources are handled by the 120 dB True WDR on every camera in the kit.
Why Choose the DS-62L4A8R-NOHDD Kit
What separates this kit from a standard 6-camera AcuSense package is the deliberate mix of camera types. The 2 DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL LiveGuard cameras bring strobe and speaker hardware that can respond to a detected person in real time, while the 4 DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras provide cost-efficient AcuSense coverage with built-in microphones across the remaining zones. A simpler kit would give you either deterrence across all cameras or monitoring-only across all cameras. This configuration lets you position the LiveGuard cameras at the highest-risk entry points and the IU cameras at secondary positions, all recording to the same DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR via PoE with no separate switching hardware needed. The NVR’s dual HDD bays also allow storage to be sized to the site’s actual retention requirements. This kit is available at Security Wholesalers and ships without an HDD, so storage capacity can be matched to the site before purchase.

Buyer Decision Tips
HDD Selection: This kit ships with no hard drive. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P supports 2 HDD bays and accepts standard surveillance-grade SATA drives. At 6MP resolution with H.265+ compression across 6 cameras, a 4TB drive provides several days of continuous recording. For longer retention or motion-event-based recording across busier sites, consider 6TB or 8TB drives and the option to fill both bays from the start.
Positioning the LiveGuard Cameras: The 2 DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL LiveGuard cameras are the only cameras in this kit with strobe and speaker capability. Place these at the locations where active deterrence adds the most value, such as the main driveway entry, front door, or rear gate access point. The 4 DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras cover supporting zones where audio recording is useful but a strobe response is not needed.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Full-Perimeter Coverage
A home with a front driveway, side access, rear yard, and 2 entry points can be covered by all 6 cameras. The 2 LiveGuard cameras at the driveway and main door add strobe and speaker response to those key zones, while the 4 IU cameras handle remaining positions with AcuSense detection and audio recording.
Retail and Small Commercial Shopfronts
A shopfront facing a public footpath benefits from LiveGuard cameras at the entry and rear loading area where deterrence matters most, and IU cameras covering the car park, side lane, and storage zone. The 120 dB True WDR on all cameras handles the high-contrast lighting common in shopfront and glass-facade environments.
Warehouse Perimeter and Entry Monitoring
An IP67-rated turret camera handles outdoor warehouse wall mounting reliably. Placing LiveGuard cameras at the main vehicle gate and pedestrian entry points, with IU cameras along the building perimeter and loading dock, gives coverage at all access points with active deterrence where it has the most impact.
Multi-Tenancy or Strata Properties
Shared driveways, communal entry points, bin areas, and visitor parking for a strata complex can be covered across 6 camera positions. AcuSense classification across all cameras helps keep recorded event lists focused on human and vehicle activity rather than triggering on pets or wind-moved foliage.
Childcare, School, or Community Facility Entry Areas
Facilities requiring both documentation and deterrence at key access points benefit from the kit’s mixed camera configuration. Built-in microphones on all 6 cameras capture audio context at covered walkways, drop-off zones, and playground gates, while the NVR’s dual HDD bay supports the extended storage retention these sites often require.
New Build or Renovation Installations
The single-cable PoE setup from the DS-7608NI-M2/8P suits new construction or renovation projects where Cat6 cabling is being run during the build phase. All 6 cameras draw power over the same run used for video data, removing the need to co-ordinate separate power circuits at each camera position.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a mix of active deterrence cameras and standard audio-recording AcuSense cameras in the same system, all connected to a single 8-port PoE NVR, and you want to choose your own HDD capacity rather than receiving a pre-fitted drive.
- Choose a different kit if: You want active deterrence with strobe and speaker capability at all 6 camera positions rather than just 2, in which case a full LiveGuard kit with 6 IS2U/SL cameras would be more appropriate.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site has more than 8 total coverage points to monitor, as this NVR supports a maximum of 8 channels and has no expansion capacity beyond that count.
- Choose a different kit if: You require colour night vision without IR switching, which is not a confirmed feature of the cameras in this kit. Only the standard IR night vision to 30m is specified.
FAQs
- Do all 6 cameras in this kit support two-way audio?
No. Only the 2 DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL LiveGuard cameras support two-way audio because they include both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker. The 4 DS-2CD2366G2H-IU cameras have a built-in microphone only, so they record audio but cannot play back voice from a connected device. - What hard drive do I need to add to get this system recording?
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR has 2 HDD bays and accepts standard 3.5″ SATA surveillance-grade hard drives. No drive is included in this kit. For 6MP continuous recording across 6 cameras with H.265+ compression, a minimum of 4TB is recommended for several days of footage, with 6TB or 8TB suitable for longer retention requirements. Both bays can be populated to extend capacity. - How does the AcuSense detection work on these cameras?
AcuSense analyses motion detected in the camera’s field of view and classifies the trigger as either a human, a vehicle, or other movement. Alerts and event recordings can be filtered to respond only to human and vehicle classifications, which reduces notifications caused by animals, wind-blown objects, or changes in ambient light that would otherwise trigger a standard motion detection system. - Can the LiveGuard strobe and speaker be triggered automatically on detection?
Yes. The DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL cameras can be configured through the NVR or Hik-Connect application to activate the strobe and audible warning automatically when an AcuSense human or vehicle detection event occurs. The trigger conditions, warning tone, and strobe behaviour can be adjusted in the camera settings. - Does this kit include wall brackets or junction boxes for the turret cameras?
No mounting accessories are included. These turret cameras can be surface-mounted directly to a flat ceiling or wall, or used with optional Hikvision brackets such as the DS-1273ZJ-140 wall bracket for G Series turret cameras. Junction boxes are available separately and help conceal cabling when surface-run conduit is not used. - What cable type is required to connect cameras to the NVR?
Standard Cat6 Ethernet cable is used for all camera connections. Each camera runs a single Cat6 cable back to the NVR’s PoE port, which delivers both power and video data over the same cable. Cable run lengths up to 100m per camera position are supported under standard PoE specifications. Pre-made Cat6 cables in various lengths are available through Security Wholesalers alongside this kit. - Can this NVR be viewed remotely on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR supports remote access via the Hik-Connect mobile application on iOS and Android. Live view, playback, and event notifications can be accessed remotely once the NVR is connected to the network and registered to a Hik-Connect account. Network configuration including port forwarding or P2P cloud connection is required for remote access to function.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 Ethernet cable is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. Cat5e is the minimum accepted standard but Cat6 is preferred for longer runs and future-proofing.
- Maximum Cable Run: Up to 100m per camera from the NVR’s PoE port under standard IEEE 802.3at PoE specifications. Runs beyond 100m will require a PoE extender or midspan injector.
- PoE Considerations: The DS-7608NI-M2/8P has 8 built-in PoE ports covering all 6 cameras included in this kit with 2 ports remaining available. No external PoE switch is required for this 6-camera configuration.
- Wiring Tips: Run cables through wall cavities or conduit where possible before fitting cameras to avoid exposed surface runs. Route the cable to where the camera base will be mounted, leaving enough tail length to connect the RJ45 plug after the camera is positioned. For outdoor wall runs, use UV-rated conduit or direct burial cable where exposed to weather.
