Product Overview
For properties that need six fixed outdoor camera positions backed by intelligent detection and active deterrence, this Hikvision 8MP AcuSense CCTV kit delivers a complete and expandable solution. The package includes 6 x DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL turret cameras and a DS-7608NI-M2-8P 8-channel PoE NVR with a 4TB hard drive preinstalled. Each camera records at 8MP resolution with a selectable 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens, 30m IR night vision, IP67-rated weatherproof housing, a built-in strobe light, and an audible siren for active deterrence responses. AcuSense human and vehicle classification helps reduce unnecessary alert activity across outdoor zones where motion from trees, animals or passing light is common. Built-in microphones and speakers support two-way audio when configured through compatible equipment. The 8-channel NVR accommodates the 6 cameras with 2 spare channels available, making the system practical for staged expansion without replacing the recorder.
Key Capabilities
Six-Camera 8MP Outdoor Coverage
Six 3840 x 2160 turret cameras provide detailed fixed coverage across multiple outdoor zones simultaneously. With a DORI detect range of 56m, recognise range of 22m and identify range of 11m, each camera captures usable footage of faces and number plates at practical outdoor distances.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
AcuSense analyses motion events and classifies them as human or vehicle targets rather than triggering on every movement. This is particularly useful across driveways, yards and perimeter areas where vegetation, wind, animals and ambient light can cause excessive alerts with standard motion detection.
Strobe and Siren Active Deterrence
Each camera includes a built-in strobe light and audible siren. When triggered, these produce a visible and audible warning response that can discourage unwanted activity at driveways, gates, shopfronts and loading areas where recording alone may not be sufficient.
Two-Way Audio at Key Access Points
The included cameras have both a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling two-way audio communication when configured through compatible equipment. This is useful at front entries, delivery points, service doors and loading bays where hearing and speaking remotely adds practical value.
8-Channel PoE NVR with Expansion Room
The DS-7608NI-M2-8P features 8 PoE ports, 4K HDMI and VGA output, and 2 HDD bays. With 6 cameras connected, 2 channels remain available for future additions. The plug-and-play PoE design means cameras are powered and connected over a single network cable each.
H.265+ Compression and 4TB Storage Included
H.265+ compression reduces the storage and bandwidth demands of a six-camera 8MP system, extending how long footage can be retained on the included 4TB hard drive. This matters when continuous 4K recording across multiple channels would otherwise fill storage faster.
Best For
- Larger Homes: Six fixed camera positions allow coverage across the front driveway, main entry, side access paths, rear yard and garage without requiring separate channel upgrades.
- Small to Medium Businesses: Shopfronts, service entries, stock areas and external access points benefit from AcuSense detection and active deterrence across all six included cameras.
- Warehouses and Industrial Sites: Loading docks, roller doors, perimeter fence lines and vehicle movement zones are well suited to 8MP fixed turret coverage with strobe and audible warning capability.
- Staged Expansion Projects: Buyers who need 6 cameras now but may add up to 2 more later benefit from the 8-channel NVR without needing to replace the recorder at the next stage.
- Active Deterrence Installs: Sites where discouraging entry is as important as recording it, including gates, driveways and perimeter zones exposed to after-hours activity.
Why Choose This Kit
This 6-camera Hikvision AcuSense kit separates itself from basic outdoor CCTV packages through the combination of active deterrence, two-way audio and intelligent classification across every included camera. A standard non-deterrence kit records events but cannot issue a strobe or audible warning response. This system can do both, and all six DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL cameras include the strobe light, siren, built-in microphone and speaker as standard, without requiring upgrades or add-ons. The 4TB hard drive is included, so buyers do not need to source storage separately. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P NVR supports 4K output and retains 2 spare channels, giving the system practical room to grow. Available at Security Wholesalers, this kit suits homes and commercial sites where a capable multi-zone outdoor system with deterrence functionality is the priority.
Package Inclusions
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The DS-7608NI-M2-8P has 2 HDD bays and ships with 4TB installed. If your site needs longer retention across six 8MP cameras recording continuously, consider whether the second bay should be used to add a further drive. Recording retention depends on resolution settings, frame rate, whether recording is event-based or continuous, and how many cameras are active.
Buyer Tip: Active deterrence is most effective when cameras are mounted in positions where the strobe and siren are noticeable. If a camera is installed in a hidden or recessed location purely for covert monitoring, the deterrence features will have limited impact. Plan camera placement to match the intended outcome for each zone.

Ideal Use Cases
Front Driveway and Gate
The strobe and siren deterrence on the DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL is well suited to driveways and gate entries where after-hours vehicle approach is a concern. AcuSense vehicle classification can trigger deterrence responses specifically on vehicle detections rather than general motion.
Main Entry and Reception Approach
Two-way audio via the built-in microphone and speaker supports communication at front entries and delivery points. The 8MP resolution and DORI identify range of 11m makes this camera useful where face-level detail matters at a monitored access point.
Side Access and Perimeter Paths
Narrow side paths and external walkways can be monitored with the 110-degree field of view on the 2.8mm lens variant. AcuSense human detection keeps alerts focused on actual pedestrian movement rather than ambient triggers.
Loading Docks and Roller Doors
Vehicle classification through AcuSense and 8MP resolution make these cameras a practical choice for loading bays where vehicle movements, after-hours access and stock area security require clear recorded footage and smart event alerts.
Rear Yards and External Storage Areas
IP67-rated housings make all 6 cameras suitable for exposed outdoor positions including rear yards, external storage zones and uncovered areas where weather exposure is expected year-round.
Shopfront and Business Perimeter
Six camera positions give small business owners the ability to cover a shopfront, rear access, bin area, car park approach and staff entry simultaneously from one 8-channel NVR with 4TB of included storage and remote mobile access.
Choosing the Right Kit
- Choose this kit if: You need 6 outdoor camera positions with 8MP resolution, AcuSense human and vehicle detection, strobe and siren deterrence, two-way audio, an 8-channel PoE NVR and 4TB storage included as a single complete package.
- Choose a different kit if: You need all 8 recorder channels occupied from day one, as this system uses 6 of the 8 available channels and is not the most cost-efficient choice if a full 8-camera layout is required immediately.
- Choose a different camera type if: Your site requires remote pan, tilt and zoom control across wide open areas rather than fixed coverage from a turret-style camera, as the DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL is a fixed-lens camera with no motorised or remote directional control.
- Choose a non-deterrence kit if: All camera positions are in discreet or hidden locations where a strobe and audible siren would be impractical or where covert monitoring is the priority.
FAQs
- What cameras are included in this kit and what lens options are available?
The kit includes 6 x DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL 8MP AcuSense turret cameras. Each camera is available with either a 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens. The 2.8mm lens provides a wider 110-degree horizontal field of view, which suits tighter spaces and closer monitoring zones. The 4mm lens delivers a narrower view with greater reach, which is better for longer driveways or approaches where the camera is mounted further back.
- Does each camera in this kit include its own strobe light and siren?
Yes. All 6 included DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL cameras have a built-in strobe light and audible siren as standard. When AcuSense detects a human or vehicle and triggers a deterrence response, both the strobe and the siren can activate on the relevant camera. This means deterrence coverage is available across every camera position in the system, not just one or two dedicated units.
- How does AcuSense work in a six-camera outdoor system?
AcuSense classifies motion events as human or vehicle targets rather than treating all movement as an alert. In an outdoor system with six cameras, this matters because driveways, yards and perimeter zones can generate high volumes of motion events from trees, animals, changing light and weather. With AcuSense active, notifications and event searches can be filtered to focus on people and vehicles, which reduces the time spent reviewing irrelevant footage across all 6 channels.
- Does the kit include a hard drive, and how long will 4TB last?
Yes, a 4TB hard drive is included and preinstalled in the NVR. Retention time depends on the number of cameras recording simultaneously, whether recording is continuous or event-triggered, the resolution and frame rate settings, and H.265+ compression efficiency. Six 8MP cameras recording continuously at high frame rates will use storage faster than event-based recording at moderate frame rates. The NVR has a second HDD bay available if additional storage is needed later.
- Do the cameras support two-way audio?
Yes. The DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL cameras include both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, which allows two-way audio communication when the system is configured through compatible equipment. This is useful at front entries, delivery access points, service doors and loading bays where being able to speak and listen remotely adds practical value beyond video monitoring alone.
- Can the system be expanded beyond 6 cameras later?
Yes. The DS-7608NI-M2-8P is an 8-channel NVR with 8 PoE ports. With 6 cameras connected, 2 ports and 2 channels remain available for future camera additions. This means buyers can add up to 2 more cameras to the existing recorder without needing to replace or upgrade the NVR. This kit is available through Security Wholesalers and suits buyers planning to expand in stages.
- Are the cameras suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions?
Yes. Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL camera has an IP67-rated housing, which provides protection against dust ingress and submersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. This rating makes the cameras suitable for exposed outdoor positions including driveways, eaves, external walls and perimeter fence lines where rain, dust and humidity are typical.
- What is the night vision range and how does the camera perform in low light?
Each camera provides up to 30m of IR night vision range using an IR cut filter that switches automatically between day and colour mode and night and infrared mode. The minimum illumination is 0.003 Lux at F1.6 with AGC on, meaning the camera can capture usable footage in very low ambient light before the IR activates. For outdoor areas with no external lighting, the 30m IR range covers most driveway and entry zone depths at typical residential and small commercial properties.
