Product Overview
Covering an entire property with 8 points of active deterrence, the Hikvision DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL and DS-7608NI-M2/8P kit delivers a complete 6MP Smart Hybrid Light surveillance system in a single box. Each of the 8 ColorVu 3.0 turret cameras uses an F1.0 super-aperture lens and a 1/1.8-inch sensor to maintain full-colour imaging down to 0.0005 Lux, switching between discreet IR and white light automatically depending on whether a person or vehicle has been detected. Built-in strobe and a 110dB speaker on every camera respond to rule breaches in real time, while AcuSense analytics filter out false alerts caused by animals, weather, or foliage movement. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR powers all 8 cameras over a single Cat5e or Cat6 run per camera, records continuously to a pre-installed 4TB drive, and outputs 4K over HDMI. Lens options of 2.8mm or 4mm allow the kit to be tailored to wide-area or more focused coverage requirements.
Key Capabilities
ColorVu 3.0 with F1.0 Super-Aperture
The 1/1.8-inch sensor combined with an F1.0 glass lens captures full-colour footage at 0.0005 Lux, meaning driveways, yards, and building perimeters stay in colour detail throughout the night without requiring any additional lighting infrastructure.
Smart Hybrid Light Switching
Each camera operates in IR mode by default to avoid light pollution, then automatically switches to white light only when AcuSense confirms a person or vehicle is present. Once the subject leaves frame, the white light extinguishes, making this system considerate of neighbouring properties.
Active Deterrence on Every Camera
All 8 cameras include a built-in strobe light and a 110dB speaker that can trigger spoken warnings or alarm tones when a detection event occurs. This gives the system a proactive response capability across every covered zone rather than just passively recording.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Deep-learning classification distinguishes people and vehicles from irrelevant motion such as pets, insects, or wind-blown vegetation. This means the 8-camera system generates targeted alerts rather than a constant stream of notifications from environmental triggers.
8-Channel PoE NVR with 4TB Storage
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P provides 8 built-in PoE ports at 128Mbps total bandwidth, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch. The pre-installed 4TB surveillance-grade drive supports continuous 24/7 recording across all 8 cameras at full 6MP resolution with H.265+ compression.
Two-Way Audio and Built-In Microphone
Dual arrayed microphones and a built-in speaker in each camera support two-way audio communication, allowing operators to speak directly through the camera via the Hik-Connect app or the NVR interface, useful for directing deliveries, warning intruders, or managing access remotely.
Best For
- Large Residential Properties: 8 camera positions cover front yards, driveways, side access paths, rear yards, and garage approaches simultaneously, all recording to a single 4TB NVR.
- Retail and Hospitality Sites: Strobe and speaker deterrence on each camera lets staff respond to after-hours intrusion attempts without requiring a manned guard, while 6MP resolution supports post-incident review.
- Warehouses and Light Industrial Sites: AcuSense filters forklift and equipment movement during operating hours so after-hours human intrusion alerts remain actionable, and IP67 protection handles dusty or wet environments.
- Multi-Tenancy and Strata Properties: 8 PoE ports in the NVR allow coverage of shared car parks, building entries, bin enclosures, and common corridors from a single central recorder.
- Sites Needing Plug-and-Play Installation: PoE delivery from the NVR directly to each camera means a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera carries both power and data, simplifying cable management and reducing installation time.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL + DS-7608NI-M2/8P Kit
Where standard PoE camera kits record passively and notify after the fact, this system responds at the moment of detection. The DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL cameras carry strobe lights and 110dB speakers on every unit, not just as an NVR-side feature, which means all 8 positions in this kit are capable of independent deterrence without requiring a hub trigger. The ColorVu 3.0 F1.0 aperture and 1/1.8-inch sensor genuinely distinguish this generation from earlier 2MP or 4MP ColorVu models: colour is maintained at 0.0005 Lux rather than degrading to greyscale IR. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR adds dual HDD bays, allowing future storage expansion without replacing hardware. Two-way audio across all 8 cameras is supported out of the box via the Hik-Connect app. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers with a 4TB drive pre-installed, tested, and ready to record on connection.

Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection: You can specify a mix of 2.8mm and 4mm lenses across the 8 cameras at checkout by noting your preference in the order comments. Use the 2.8mm (108.8 degree horizontal FOV) for wide coverage zones such as open yards, car parks, and large retail floors. Use the 4mm (93.3 degree horizontal FOV) where you need more reach, such as building entries, long driveways, or corridors where you want more facial or plate detail at distance.
Storage Planning: The DS-7608NI-M2/8P has 2 HDD bays, but this kit ships with only 1 HDD bay occupied by the 4TB drive. If 8 cameras recording continuously at 6MP will exceed your desired retention period, the second bay accepts a second surveillance-grade drive without any hardware changes. H.265+ compression on the NVR reduces storage consumption by up to 75% compared to standard H.264, which meaningfully extends usable recording time from the same 4TB drive.

Ideal Use Cases
Large Family Homes
8 camera positions cover all entry points, including front yard, driveway, side gates, rear yard, and garage. The Smart Hybrid Light system switches to white light only on confirmed human detections, keeping the property well-lit for evidence without light constantly annoying neighbours.
Retail Stores and Shopfronts
130dB WDR handles the contrast between bright shopfront windows and darker interior spaces, while AcuSense filters customer foot traffic during trading hours to focus alerts on after-hours human intrusion. Strobe and speaker on each camera provide a deterrent without requiring a guard on-site.
Warehouses and Storage Facilities
IP67 and NEMA 4X housing handles dust, moisture, and temperature extremes common in warehouse environments. AcuSense separates forklift and goods movement from human-only intrusion alerts after hours, and 6MP resolution allows forensic zoom into specific shelving areas or bays.
Strata and Multi-Tenancy Buildings
8 PoE ports in the DS-7608NI-M2/8P allow a body corporate to cover shared car parks, building entries, lift lobbies, bin areas, and common hallways from a single centrally-managed NVR, with 4TB capacity providing a meaningful retention buffer across all zones.
Hospitality and Cafe Venues
Two-way audio on all 8 cameras enables staff to communicate through the cameras via Hik-Connect during deliveries or after hours. The 2.8mm wide-angle lens option covers open dining areas without needing to mount multiple cameras per zone.
Construction Sites and Temporary Compounds
microSD slots (up to 512GB each) in all 8 cameras provide local backup recording if network connectivity drops on site. The NEMA 4X-rated metal housing tolerates site dust and weather, and strobe-and-speaker deterrence activates without requiring a monitoring centre response.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 8 fully covered positions with active deterrence (strobe and speaker) on every camera, full-colour night imaging without permanent white light, and a PoE NVR that requires no separate switch, all in a pre-configured, storage-ready system.
- Choose a different kit if: You need more than 8 camera positions, in which case an NVR with 16 or more channels would be more appropriate. If only passive recording is needed and active deterrence features are not a priority, a lower-tier ColorVu kit without strobe and speaker hardware would reduce cost per camera.
- Choose a different kit if: Your site requires cameras with a motorised varifocal or optical zoom lens for long-distance coverage adjustments after installation, as the DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL uses a fixed focal length lens only.
FAQs
- Does the Smart Hybrid Light keep the white light on all night?
No. By default, each DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL camera operates in IR mode to avoid unnecessary light output. The white light only activates when AcuSense confirms a person or vehicle has entered the detection zone. Once the subject leaves, the light turns off automatically. This keeps colour imaging active on detections while avoiding light pollution during quiet periods. - How many cameras can run simultaneously at full 6MP on the DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR?
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P supports 128Mbps total incoming bandwidth across 8 channels. All 8 DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL cameras record at 6MP (3200 x 1800) at 25fps simultaneously within this bandwidth allocation, with H.265+ compression managing the data rate efficiently. - Can I mix 2.8mm and 4mm lenses across the 8 cameras in this kit?
Yes. If you require different lens sizes for different camera positions, you can note your preferred combination in the order comments at checkout. The cameras are otherwise identical in all other specifications regardless of the lens chosen. - Is the two-way audio feature usable remotely from a phone?
Yes. All 8 cameras include dual arrayed microphones and a built-in 110dB speaker, and two-way audio is accessible through the Hik-Connect mobile app once the NVR is connected to the internet. This allows you to listen and speak through any camera in the system from a remote location. - What happens to recordings if the network goes down?
Each DS-2CD2367G3-LIS2UY/SL camera includes a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 512GB. In the event of network or NVR connectivity loss, cameras can continue recording locally to the microSD card, providing a secondary backup of footage for that period. - Is the included 4TB HDD pre-installed and ready to use?
Yes. The 4TB surveillance-grade drive arrives pre-installed in the DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR and is optimised for continuous 24/7 CCTV recording workloads. The NVR is formatted and configured to begin recording on connection without requiring manual drive initialisation. This kit is available at Security Wholesalers with the drive included as standard. - What is the DORI detection range for each lens option?
For the 2.8mm lens: Detection 89m, Observation 35m, Recognition 17m, Identification 8m. For the 4mm lens: Detection 109m, Observation 43m, Recognition 21m, Identification 10m. These figures indicate the effective distances for different levels of forensic detail in ideal conditions. - Can the DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR be expanded with a second hard drive later?
Yes. The NVR has 2 HDD bays and ships with 1 bay occupied by the included 4TB drive. A second surveillance-grade HDD can be added to the empty bay at any time without any hardware modification, allowing storage capacity to be increased as required without replacing the recorder.
