Hikvision IP CCTV Products — Cameras, Recorders & Accessories
Hikvision is the world’s largest manufacturer of video surveillance equipment, and for good reason: their IP camera and NVR range covers everything from a single-camera home install to a fully AI-integrated commercial system — with the technology to match. CommsDirect stocks an authorised range of Hikvision IP CCTV products, supplied through Australian distribution channels with full warranty support.

📷 Hikvision Network Cameras
The core of any Hikvision system. Turret, dome, bullet, mini bullet and PTZ form factors — across ColorVu (full-colour night vision), AcuSense (AI human and vehicle detection), and DarkFighter (extreme low-light) technology lines. Available in 4MP, 6MP and 8MP resolutions with PoE power. This is where you start when building a new system or adding cameras to an existing one.
🖥️ Hikvision NVRs
The recording and management engine behind your camera network. Hikvision NVRs store footage locally, run AcuSense AI centrally across connected cameras, and provide Smart Search and AcuSearch for fast footage retrieval. Available from 4-channel PoE units for residential use through to high-channel commercial recorders with multi-bay storage and RAID.
🔧 Hikvision CCTV Accessories
Mounting brackets, junction boxes, wall mounts, pole mounts and installation hardware. Choosing the right mount for your camera model and install environment matters — the wrong bracket compromises both camera angle and weatherproofing. Genuine Hikvision accessories are designed and rated to match the cameras they support.
Why Hikvision IP Over Analogue CCTV
🎨 ColorVu — Full Colour Night Vision Without Floodlights
ColorVu cameras use a wide-aperture lens and supplemental white light to produce full-colour footage in near-total darkness. Unlike traditional IR cameras that capture black-and-white footage at night, ColorVu delivers the clothing colour, vehicle colour and scene detail that makes footage actually useful after an incident.
🧠 AcuSense — AI That Filters Out Noise
AcuSense uses deep learning to classify detected objects as human, vehicle, or other — before triggering any alert. Cameras, NVRs, or both can run AcuSense depending on the model. The result is dramatically fewer false alerts from animals, wind-blown foliage and passing headlights, and Smart Search that lets you filter recorded footage by target type rather than scrubbing through hours of timeline.
🌑 DarkFighter — Low-Light Performance for Demanding Environments
Where ColorVu uses supplemental white light, DarkFighter achieves colour or near-colour imaging in very low ambient light through large-format sensors and wide-aperture optics — with no visible illumination. Suited to environments where covert operation is required or external lighting is unreliable.
💡 Smart Hybrid Light — Colour on Detection, IR the Rest of the Night
Smart Hybrid Light cameras run in IR mode by default at night. The moment a person or vehicle is detected, the white light activates automatically — capturing full-colour footage of the event — then switches back to IR when the area clears. You get colour detail where it counts without lighting up the scene all night.
📡 PoE — One Cable Does Everything
Hikvision IP cameras run on Power over Ethernet — a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable carries both power and data. No separate power supply needed for camera runs. Pair with a PoE NVR and you have a clean, single-cable system from camera to recorder.
🔒 Scalable From 1 Camera to 64+
A Hikvision IP system starts small and scales without replacing hardware. Add cameras to an existing NVR up to its channel limit, or upgrade the NVR independently. The same cameras, cabling and Hik-Connect app work across the full range.
