Product Overview
Combining 8MP AcuSense turret cameras with a 4-channel 4K PoE NVR, this Hikvision CCTV kit is built for residential and small commercial properties that need a complete, pre-matched system straight out of the box. The DS-48MP4CH-NOHDD bundles 4 x DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turret cameras with a DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR, eliminating the compatibility guesswork that comes with sourcing components separately. Each camera features a 2.8mm fixed lens, 30m IR night vision, IP67 weatherproofing, a built-in microphone, hybrid light capability, and AcuSense deep learning to distinguish people and vehicles from other motion triggers. The NVR delivers 4K output, 4 built-in PoE ports, and supports 4-channel synchronous playback at up to 8MP. No hard drive is included, so storage capacity can be matched to the site’s recording requirements. H.265+ compression keeps footage sizes manageable without sacrificing image detail.
Key Capabilities
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning on each DS-2CD2386G2H-IU camera filters out motion from animals, foliage, and passing headlights, triggering alerts only when a person or vehicle is detected. This reduces unwanted notifications and keeps event logs focused on activity that matters.
8MP 4K Resolution Across All 4 Cameras
Each camera captures at 8MP, delivering wide-field coverage with enough detail to identify faces, number plates, and clothing at typical residential and small commercial distances. The NVR supports 4-channel synchronous playback at 8MP for review without resolution trade-offs.
4 Built-in PoE Ports on the NVR
The DS-7604NI-I1/4P powers and connects all 4 cameras over a single Cat6 cable run per camera, removing the need for separate power supplies at each mounting point. This simplifies installation considerably in both new builds and retrofit scenarios.
Hybrid Light and DarkFighter Low-Light Performance
Each camera uses DarkFighter sensor technology alongside a hybrid light system, providing usable night footage in low ambient light conditions. IR illumination extends to 30m, covering typical driveway, entry point, and perimeter distances for homes and small commercial sites.
IP67 Weather Resistance on Every Camera
All 4 turret cameras carry an IP67 rating, meaning they are fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand sustained water exposure. This makes them suitable for exposed eave, soffit, and external wall mounting without additional housing.
Best For
- Residential Properties: The 4-camera count covers the most common entry points of a house, driveways, and backyard access points, with IP67 housings handling outdoor exposure and AcuSense reducing false motion alerts from pets and trees.
- Small Retail and Commercial Premises: AcuSense human and vehicle detection keeps event logs relevant in shopfront and car park environments where background movement is constant throughout the day.
- Installers and Integrators: Pre-matched Hikvision cameras and NVR eliminate compatibility risk, and the 4 PoE ports on the NVR simplify commissioning to a single cable run per camera position.
- Sites Without an Existing Hard Drive: The no-HDD configuration allows buyers to choose a surveillance-rated hard drive sized to their specific retention requirement rather than accepting a fixed storage tier bundled into a kit price.
Why Choose the DS-48MP4CH-NOHDD
The DS-48MP4CH-NOHDD is a fully matched Hikvision system where every component has been verified for compatibility before purchase. The DS-2CD2386G2H-IU cameras bring 8MP resolution, DarkFighter low-light capability, 120dB true WDR, IP67 weatherproofing, hybrid light, a built-in microphone, and AcuSense human and vehicle classification to each of the 4 positions. The DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR supports H.265+ compression to keep storage consumption down, outputs at 4K, and delivers 4-channel synchronous playback at 8MP. A generic or lower-resolution 4-camera kit at a comparable price will not deliver AcuSense classification or DarkFighter low-light performance at every camera position. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers and comes without a pre-installed hard drive, giving the buyer full control over storage capacity based on the number of days of footage retention required at the site.
Package Inclusions
- 4 x DS-2CD2386G2H-IU Hikvision 8MP AcuSense Turret Camera – 2.8mm, Hybrid Light, IP67, IR, Built-in Microphone
- 1 x DS-7604NI-I1/4P Hikvision 4-Channel 4K PoE NVR – NO HARD DRIVE
Buyer Decision Tips
Hard Drive Sizing: The DS-7604NI-I1/4P supports a single 3.5-inch surveillance hard drive. With 4 cameras recording at 8MP using H.265+ compression, a 4TB drive typically provides around 14 to 20 days of continuous recording depending on scene activity. Sites requiring longer retention, such as commercial properties with audit or insurance obligations, should budget for a 6TB or 8TB surveillance-rated drive. A hard drive can be added to this order and will be pre-installed in the NVR before dispatch.
Fixed Lens and Camera Placement: Each DS-2CD2386G2H-IU ships with a 2.8mm fixed lens, which produces a wide angle of view suited to entry points, driveways at close to mid-range, and internal areas. This lens is not adjustable. For locations that require a tighter view across a longer distance, such as a narrow laneway or a car park exit 15 to 20 metres away, a camera with a 4mm or 6mm fixed lens would be more appropriate and this kit’s fixed 2.8mm configuration may not deliver the required detail at distance.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Home Coverage
4 IP67-rated turret cameras cover front driveway, front door, rear access, and side gate positions at a typical residential property. AcuSense prevents false alerts from animals and moving vegetation, keeping mobile notifications relevant to actual people or vehicles entering the property.
Small Retail Shopfront
The 2.8mm wide-angle lens suits close-range internal coverage of a shopfront, counter area, and rear exit. AcuSense human detection creates accurate event logs without nuisance triggers from display movement, fans, or passing street traffic visible through windows.
Small Office or Strata Building Entry
The built-in microphone on each DS-2CD2386G2H-IU captures audio at entry points, corridors, and reception areas. Combined with 8MP resolution and 30m IR range, the cameras record footage with sufficient detail for reviewing incidents at building entry and exit positions.
Car Park or Driveway Monitoring
AcuSense vehicle classification on each camera allows the system to trigger vehicle-specific alerts, making this kit practical for driveways, small car parks, and loading areas where distinguishing vehicle movement from background activity improves the usefulness of recorded events.
New Build or Renovation Installation
With 4 PoE ports on the DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR, this kit is straightforward to install during a build or renovation where Cat6 cable runs can be planned in advance. A single cable per camera position carries both power and data back to the recorder, avoiding the need for separate power drops at each camera location.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a 4-camera 8MP system with AcuSense human and vehicle detection, IP67-rated turret housings, 30m IR night vision, and a matched 4K PoE NVR where camera-to-recorder compatibility is confirmed and PoE simplifies the cable run at each mounting point.
- Choose a different kit if: You need more than 4 camera positions now or anticipate adding cameras in the near future. A kit built around an 8-channel NVR would provide spare channels for expansion without requiring a recorder upgrade. Similarly, if the primary coverage locations are long-distance approaches where a 2.8mm lens will not resolve sufficient detail, a kit with a longer fixed focal length lens would be more appropriate.
- Choose a different kit if: Full-colour night vision in zero-IR-light conditions is a priority. The DS-2CD2386G2H-IU uses hybrid light and DarkFighter technology with IR illumination rather than a dedicated white-light or full-colour night mode. Sites where colour identification at night is critical may require cameras with a confirmed full-colour capability.
FAQs
- Does this kit include a hard drive?
No. The DS-48MP4CH-NOHDD is supplied without a hard drive. The DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR accepts a single 3.5-inch surveillance-rated hard drive. A compatible hard drive can be added to the order at checkout and will be pre-installed in the NVR before the unit is dispatched, so the system is ready to record upon installation.
- How much storage do I need for 4 x 8MP cameras?
With H.265+ compression and 4 cameras recording continuously, a 4TB drive typically provides around 14 to 20 days of footage depending on how much motion activity occurs in each camera’s field of view. Higher-activity sites such as retail premises or busy driveways will consume storage faster. A 6TB or 8TB drive is worth considering for sites with insurance or compliance-related retention requirements.
- What does AcuSense do on the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU cameras?
AcuSense uses deep learning on the camera itself to classify detected motion as either a person or a vehicle. This means push notifications and event recordings are only generated when a human or vehicle is identified, rather than for every motion trigger such as an animal, blowing leaves, or shifting shadows. It does not require the NVR to perform this classification.
- Can I mount these cameras on a wall rather than a ceiling or soffit?
Yes. The DS-2CD2386G2H-IU is a turret-style camera with a ball-and-socket head that can be aimed in multiple directions after mounting. Compatible Hikvision wall brackets and junction boxes are available separately and are listed in the accessory section of this product page. Wall mounting is a common installation approach for external eave edges and building corners.
- Do the cameras require power supplies in addition to the NVR?
No, provided all 4 cameras are connected directly to the DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR. The NVR has 4 built-in PoE ports that supply both power and network connectivity to each camera over a single Cat6 cable per camera. No separate power injectors or adapters are needed for this 4-camera configuration.
- Is this kit supported by the Hikvision Hik-Connect app for remote viewing?
Yes. The DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR is compatible with Hikvision’s remote access platform. Once the NVR is connected to your network and a Hik-Connect account is configured, live and recorded footage from all 4 cameras can be accessed remotely via smartphone or desktop. Network setup including router port configuration may be required depending on your internet service.
- Where can I find datasheets for the cameras and NVR in this kit?
Datasheets for both the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU camera and the DS-7604NI-I1/4P NVR are linked in the Additional Information section of this page. These documents confirm full technical specifications including sensor size, compression formats, audio inputs, and NVR network and storage specifications. This kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range of matched Hikvision systems.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat6 is recommended for all camera-to-NVR runs. Cat5e is compatible but Cat6 provides better headroom for PoE power delivery and reduces the risk of signal degradation on longer runs.
- Maximum Cable Run: The IEEE 802.3 PoE standard supports a maximum cable run of 100m from NVR PoE port to camera. Runs exceeding this distance will require a PoE extender or midspan switch.
- PoE Considerations: The DS-7604NI-I1/4P has 4 built-in PoE ports with a combined PoE power budget. Each DS-2CD2386G2H-IU camera draws power via the PoE port on the NVR. No external power supply is required per camera when connected directly to the NVR within the 100m cable run limit.
- Wiring Tips: Run individual Cat6 cables from each camera mounting position back to the NVR location rather than daisy-chaining cameras. Use pre-terminated patch cables for short internal runs or pull-through Cat6 cable for in-wall or in-ceiling installations. Allow sufficient cable length at the camera end to permit repositioning the turret head during commissioning.
