Product Overview
For larger homes, commercial sites and businesses that need active deterrence across multiple entry points, this Hikvision 8-camera AcuSense kit combines 8MP resolution with on-camera strobe and siren capability across every installation point. Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK turret camera delivers 4K imaging, 30m IR night vision, 120dB WDR, and DarkFighter low-light performance with a 2.8mm fixed lens. AcuSense deep learning filters detections down to human and vehicle targets, reducing nuisance alerts that standard motion detection generates. Built-in microphones and speakers enable two-way audio on every camera, while the active strobe and audible alarm can trigger instantly on a confirmed detection. The black finish suits sites where camera visibility forms part of the deterrence strategy. Paired with the Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16-channel Ultra Series PoE NVR and a 4TB surveillance hard drive, the system is ready to record from day one with room to expand coverage up to 16 cameras.
Key Capabilities
Active Strobe and Siren Deterrence
Every camera in this kit is equipped with a built-in strobe light and audible alarm. When AcuSense detects a human or vehicle, the camera can trigger both outputs simultaneously to warn intruders before any damage or theft occurs, rather than simply recording the event.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning on each camera classifies moving objects as human or vehicle targets before triggering alerts. This filters out animals, foliage and shadows that cause nuisance alerts on standard motion-detection cameras, making event logs and push notifications genuinely actionable.
8MP 4K Resolution with DarkFighter
At 8 megapixels, each camera captures enough detail to identify clothing, number plates and facial features at close to medium range. DarkFighter sensor technology maintains colour-accurate imaging in low ambient light conditions, improving after-dark footage quality without relying solely on IR illumination.
Two-Way Audio on Every Camera
Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL has both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker, enabling live two-way voice communication through the NVR or mobile app. Operators can challenge individuals at entry points without needing a separate intercom system at each location.
16-Channel PoE NVR with 4TB Pre-Installed
The DS-7616NI-M2/16P provides 16 PoE ports, meaning cameras draw power and transmit video over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera. The system ships with a 4TB surveillance-grade hard drive installed, so recording begins immediately without additional hardware purchases.
IP67 Weather Protection and Black Finish
The turret housing carries an IP67 ingress rating, protecting internal components against dust and temporary submersion. The black camera finish suits commercial and industrial sites where a visible, no-nonsense camera profile reinforces the active deterrence message of the strobe and siren.
Best For
- Commercial Perimeter and Multi-Entry Coverage: 8 cameras spread across loading docks, roller doors, carpark entries and pedestrian gates, each capable of triggering a strobe and siren independently on human or vehicle detection.
- Larger Residential Properties: Homes with multiple driveways, side gates and outbuildings benefit from 8 cameras feeding a single 16-channel NVR, with expansion capacity for up to 8 additional cameras as needed.
- Sites Requiring After-Hours Active Deterrence: Warehouses, storage yards and trade premises that are unoccupied overnight can use the AcuSense-triggered strobe and siren to deter intrusion attempts without relying on a monitored guard response.
- Installations Needing Remote Voice Capability: The built-in microphone and speaker on each camera allow operators to talk to delivery drivers, contractors or visitors at any covered point through a single app or NVR interface.
- Installers Wanting a Pre-Configured System: The 16-channel NVR is firmware-upgraded to handle AcuSense cameras, and the 4TB hard drive comes pre-installed, reducing on-site commissioning time for professional installers.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL 8-Camera AcuSense Kit
A standard 8MP kit records what happens. This kit is designed to interrupt it. The DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL cameras combine the AcuSense classification engine with physical deterrence hardware, meaning every camera can produce a strobe flash and a loud audible alarm the moment a confirmed human or vehicle target is detected. A basic IP camera kit at this resolution cannot do this. The 120dB WDR handles backlit scenes such as roller door openings and brightly lit carpark exits, and the DarkFighter sensor extends usable colour imaging further into low-light conditions. The DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR supports up to 16 cameras, so the system can grow with a site without requiring a recorder upgrade. With a 4TB hard drive pre-installed and the NVR firmware-ready for AcuSense cameras, this kit is available through Security Wholesalers as a complete, immediately deployable system for commercial and residential installations.
Package Inclusions
- 8 x DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL BLACK – 8MP Hikvision AcuSense Outdoor Turret Camera (2.8mm Lens, 30m IR, Strobe and Siren, IP67)
- 1 x DS-7616NI-M2/16P – Hikvision 16CH Ultra Series PoE NVR (16 PoE Ports, 4TB HDD Installed)
Buyer Decision Tips
Camera Count and NVR Headroom: This kit uses 8 cameras on a 16-channel NVR, leaving 8 ports free for future expansion. If your site already has more than 8 locations to cover, the NVR can accept additional AcuSense or compatible Hikvision IP cameras without a recorder change. Plan your cable runs to those future positions during the initial installation to avoid remedial work later.
2.8mm Fixed Lens and Coverage Angle: The 2.8mm lens on each camera delivers a wide field of view suited to entry points, corridors and open areas within 6 to 10 metres of the camera. If any position requires coverage of a long driveway, fence line or narrow corridor beyond that range, a varifocal camera or different focal length would better serve that location. The strobe and siren are most effective at closer ranges where the deterrence effect is direct and immediate.

Ideal Use Cases
Warehouse and Industrial Yard Perimeters
8 cameras cover roller doors, pedestrian gates and open yard areas. The AcuSense-triggered strobe and siren on each camera directly challenges any confirmed human intruder after hours without requiring on-site personnel.
Commercial Car Parks
The 8MP resolution captures number plate detail at entry and exit lanes, while the 120dB WDR handles the high-contrast lighting typical of covered or partially lit car parks. Two-way audio lets operators interact with drivers at monitored locations.
Multi-Entry Retail and Hospitality Sites
Businesses with front entries, rear service access and outdoor seating or storage areas can assign a camera to each zone. The 16-channel NVR keeps all feeds on a single system, and the AcuSense filtering reduces irrelevant event alerts during business hours.
Schools and Childcare Facilities
The two-way audio on each camera supports communication at entry gates and classroom block access points. AcuSense human detection generates reliable after-hours alerts across the grounds without requiring multiple separate alarm zones.
Large Residential Properties
Properties with long driveways, multiple access gates, garages and outbuildings need broad coverage. The kit places 8 active deterrence cameras on a single NVR with 8 ports free, allowing further cameras to be added as the site requires without replacing the recorder.
Construction Sites
Temporary or semi-permanent installations on construction sites benefit from the IP67 weather rating and the active deterrence capability. The strobe and siren respond to after-hours intrusions autonomously, and the 4K resolution records usable evidence detail across material storage and equipment areas.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this kit if: You need 8 outdoor cameras with active deterrence (strobe and siren), AcuSense human and vehicle classification, two-way audio on every camera, and 4K resolution, all feeding a single 16-channel NVR with 4TB of storage already installed and room to expand.
- Choose a different model if: Your site needs cameras with longer IR range beyond 30m for monitoring extended driveways or fence lines. A bullet-style camera with a longer IR module or a varifocal lens option would provide better reach at those positions. Similarly, if active deterrence is not a requirement and budget is the primary concern, a standard 8MP turret kit without strobe and speaker hardware would reduce per-camera cost.
FAQs
- Does the strobe and siren trigger automatically, or does someone need to activate it remotely?
The strobe light and audible alarm on each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL can be configured to trigger automatically when AcuSense detects a human or vehicle target. They can also be activated manually through the NVR interface or mobile app. Automatic deterrence response does not require anyone to be watching the feed in real time.
- Can I mount these turret cameras on a wall bracket rather than directly on a soffit or ceiling?
Yes. The turret housing on the DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL is designed for surface mounting and is compatible with Hikvision wall brackets including the DS-1273ZJ-140 for G Series turret cameras. A junction box can also be used to conceal cabling behind the mount. Both accessories are available separately.
- How many PoE ports does the included NVR have, and can I add more cameras later?
The DS-7616NI-M2/16P has 16 PoE ports. This kit uses 8, leaving 8 ports available for additional cameras. Compatible Hikvision IP cameras can be added to those ports at any time without replacing the NVR, which makes this system practical for staged rollouts across a growing site.
- Is the 4TB hard drive a surveillance-grade drive, or a standard desktop drive?
The 4TB hard drive supplied in this kit is a surveillance-grade unit suitable for continuous 24/7 write cycles. Standard desktop drives are not designed for the constant recording demands of a multi-camera CCTV system and can fail prematurely in that environment.
- Does two-way audio work across all 8 cameras at the same time?
Each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL has its own built-in microphone and speaker, so two-way audio operates independently on each camera. Through the DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR or the Hik-Connect mobile app, you can access any individual camera’s audio channel to listen and speak. Simultaneous broadcast to all cameras at once depends on the NVR’s audio management configuration.
- What is AcuSense and how does it differ from standard motion detection on this kit?
AcuSense uses a deep learning processor built into each DS-2CD2386G2H-ISU/SL to classify detected objects as human or vehicle before raising an alert or triggering the strobe and siren. Standard motion detection responds to any pixel change, including animals, blowing vegetation and headlight sweeps. AcuSense limits active deterrence triggers and push notifications to confirmed human or vehicle events, making the system far more responsive to genuine intrusions.
- Where can I find the datasheet for the camera included in this kit?
The DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL datasheet is linked in the Additional Information section below. The kit is part of the Security Wholesalers range, and the product page for the individual camera also contains full technical specifications if you need to confirm compatibility with an existing installation.
