Product Overview
Combining active deterrence with deep learning detection across 6 cameras, this Hikvision kit pairs 2 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP ColorVu 3.0 turret cameras with 4 x DS-2CD2366G2-IU 6MP AcuSense turret cameras, all recorded by the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR with a pre-installed 4TB hard drive. The ColorVu 3.0 cameras deliver full-colour night imaging with a built-in strobe, speaker, and microphone for two-way audio and real-time deterrence at entry points, driveways, or shopfronts. The AcuSense cameras use deep learning to classify humans and vehicles at 6MP, providing targeted alerts across garages, yards, or secondary access zones. Featuring 30m IR, IP67 weather resistance, 130dB WDR on the ColorVu units, 120dB WDR on the AcuSense units, H.265+ compression, and 8 PoE ports for single-cable installation, this kit suits residential properties, retail premises, small warehouses, and mixed-use commercial sites where both active deterrence and intelligent monitoring are needed across one unified recording platform.
Key Capabilities
ColorVu 3.0 Full-Colour Night Imaging
The 2 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL cameras use a supplemental light source to produce full-colour 8MP video at night without switching to black-and-white IR mode. Entry points and driveways remain clearly identifiable around the clock.
Active Deterrence via Strobe and Speaker
The ColorVu 3.0 cameras integrate a built-in strobe light and speaker alongside a built-in microphone, enabling two-way audio communication and audible or visual warnings when triggered, without relying on a separate external device.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
The 4 x DS-2CD2366G2-IU cameras apply deep learning to classify moving targets as humans or vehicles. This reduces notifications triggered by animals, foliage, or environmental movement, keeping event logs focused on what matters.
Mixed-Resolution Recording on One NVR
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P handles up to 8ch at 8MP decoding simultaneously, meaning both the 8MP ColorVu and 6MP AcuSense cameras record at their native resolutions with no downgrade, across a single 128Mbps bandwidth platform.
8-Port PoE for Single-Cable Installation
All 8 PoE ports on the NVR power and connect cameras via a single Cat5e/Cat6 run per camera. This significantly reduces cable management complexity, particularly across multi-point installations spanning eaves, garages, and shopfronts.
4TB Pre-Installed Storage with H.265+ Compression
The NVR ships with a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD already installed. H.265+ compression reduces file sizes compared to H.264 recording, extending the usable retention period across 6 active channels without needing an immediate storage upgrade.
Best For
- Residential Properties with Multiple Entry Points: 2 ColorVu 3.0 cameras with strobe and speaker can cover the front driveway and main entry, while the 4 AcuSense cameras monitor side gates, rear yards, and garage access with human/vehicle filtering.
- Retail and Shopfront Monitoring: The 8MP ColorVu cameras at the front entrance provide full-colour facial and clothing detail at night, while the AcuSense cameras cover stockrooms, loading entries, and car park zones with classification-based alerts.
- Small Warehouses and Light Industrial Sites: IP67-rated cameras handle outdoor exposure across loading bays and yard perimeters, with the AcuSense detection filtering vehicle movement from worker foot traffic for more accurate event reporting.
- Installers Seeking a Pre-Matched PoE System: The 8 PoE ports, 4TB pre-loaded HDD, and camera-NVR compatibility are confirmed at point of purchase, removing the component matching step for straightforward mid-tier commercial installations.
- Sites Needing 2 Spare PoE Channels: With 6 cameras and an 8-channel NVR, 2 ports remain available for future camera additions without requiring a recorder upgrade.
Why Choose the Hikvision DS-82C4A8R-3TB Kit
What separates this kit from a standard all-same-camera bundle is the deliberate combination of two camera technologies serving different roles. The 2 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL ColorVu 3.0 cameras at 8MP deliver full-colour imaging, active strobe deterrence, and two-way audio at the highest-priority locations. The 4 x DS-2CD2366G2-IU AcuSense cameras at 6MP extend coverage across secondary zones with human and vehicle classification at a resolution suited to wider monitoring. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR supports both camera types simultaneously at full resolution with 128Mbps bandwidth, 8K HDMI output, and a pre-installed 4TB hard drive. A basic kit with lower-tier cameras would lack the active deterrence capability, the classification accuracy, or the bandwidth headroom to record all cameras at native resolution. Available through Security Wholesalers, this kit is matched and tested as a complete system ready for installation without additional component sourcing.

- 1 x Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8CH PoE NVR – 8-channel NVR, 8 PoE ports, 4TB pre-installed HDD, 4K HDMI/VGA output, H.265+
Buyer Decision Tips
Camera Placement Planning: The 2 ColorVu 3.0 cameras are best positioned at high-priority locations where full-colour identification and active deterrence matter most, such as the front door, driveway entry, or main shopfront. The 4 AcuSense cameras are better suited to secondary zones where human/vehicle classification is the priority rather than full-colour night imaging. Plan your camera positions before purchasing to confirm this split suits your site layout.
Storage Retention Estimate: The included 4TB HDD with H.265+ compression across 6 channels will deliver varying retention depending on motion frequency, camera resolution, and recording schedule. Sites with high traffic across all 6 cameras may see shorter retention windows. If extended retention is a priority for your application, consider the upgrade HDD options listed below the specifications before completing your order.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Driveway and Front Entry
A ColorVu 3.0 camera at the driveway provides full-colour 8MP imaging at night with strobe and two-way audio capability, making it possible to see and communicate with visitors or respond to intrusions without leaving the property.
Retail Shopfront and Car Park
The 8MP ColorVu camera captures full-colour detail at the shopfront entrance after hours, while AcuSense cameras covering the car park classify vehicle movements separately from pedestrian activity for more relevant notifications.
Small Warehouse and Loading Bay
IP67-rated AcuSense cameras mounted at loading dock entries filter vehicle arrivals from incidental motion, while the 128Mbps NVR records all 6 cameras at native resolution without dropping frames during peak delivery periods.
Multi-Access Residential or Strata Property
With 6 cameras across an 8-channel NVR, this kit covers multiple entry and exit points across a property with 2 spare PoE channels held in reserve for future camera additions without replacing the recorder.
Office Building Perimeter and Reception
ColorVu 3.0 cameras at front entry and car park access provide full-colour after-hours identification, while AcuSense cameras along the building perimeter alert only to confirmed human movement rather than triggering on passing traffic.
Hospitality Venue or Food Premises
Full-colour 8MP coverage at entry and outdoor dining areas gives operators clear visual records for incident review, while the built-in microphones on the AcuSense cameras provide audio context alongside the video record.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need a mixed-technology system where 2 high-priority locations require full-colour night imaging, active strobe deterrence, and two-way audio (ColorVu 3.0), and 4 additional zones require AI-based human/vehicle filtering at 6MP, all managed through one 8-channel PoE NVR with pre-installed 4TB storage.
- Choose a different kit if: All 6 or more cameras need to be the same type, for example all ColorVu with active deterrence across every position, or all AcuSense for a uniform detection-only setup. In those cases, a single-camera-type kit will provide consistent capability across all channels rather than a split configuration.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires more than 8 camera positions, as this NVR is limited to 8 channels. A 16-channel NVR-based kit would be needed for larger installations without adding a second recorder.
FAQs
- Why does this kit include 2 different camera types rather than 6 of the same model?
The split is intentional. The 2 x DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL ColorVu 3.0 cameras add active deterrence capability including strobe, speaker, and two-way audio that the AcuSense cameras do not have. The 4 x DS-2CD2366G2-IU AcuSense cameras provide human and vehicle classification at 6MP for coverage zones where deterrence is less critical. The combination lets you position each camera type where it performs best.
- Do the AcuSense cameras also support two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2366G2-IU has a built-in microphone only, which records audio alongside the video. Two-way audio requires both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker. Only the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL ColorVu 3.0 cameras include both, enabling real-time voice communication in both directions.
- Can the ColorVu cameras be set to trigger the strobe only when a human is detected, rather than on all motion?
The DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL supports configurable alert triggers. The strobe and audio alarm can be linked to detection events rather than all motion, allowing more targeted deterrence responses. Configuration is managed via the NVR interface or Hik-Connect app.
- How many cameras can I add to this system in the future?
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P has 8 channels and 8 PoE ports. With 6 cameras already connected, 2 PoE ports remain available for additional cameras without replacing the NVR. Any compatible Hikvision IP camera within the 128Mbps bandwidth budget can be added to those spare ports.
- What is the expected video retention with the 4TB HDD across 6 channels?
Retention depends on recording mode, motion frequency, and compression settings. H.265+ recording at continuous mode across 6 cameras will consume storage faster than motion-triggered recording. Using scheduled or motion-only recording significantly extends retention. For sites needing longer archival periods, the HDD upgrade options listed on this page can increase storage before installation.
- Is the NVR compatible with cameras from other Hikvision kits or existing Hikvision installations?
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P is compatible with Hikvision IP cameras using ONVIF or Hikvision protocol, subject to bandwidth and resolution limits. Cameras must fall within the 128Mbps incoming bandwidth and 8ch at 8MP decoding capacity. Adding cameras from an existing Hikvision installation to the spare PoE ports is possible provided these limits are not exceeded. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers with full documentation for reference.
- Do the turret cameras in this kit require a wall bracket for outdoor eave installation?
Both the DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL and DS-2CD2366G2-IU turret cameras can be surface-mounted directly to flat ceiling or wall surfaces. For eave-mounted or angled wall installations, compatible Hikvision junction boxes and wall brackets are listed in the Optional Camera Mounts section below and are sold separately.
