Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit — 8x 4K Cameras, Colour at Night, 8TB HDD, AI + Two-Way Talk, DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 2.8mm PoE Turrets + DS-7608NI-M2/8P

Why the Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit Is Worth Buying as a Kit

Sourcing a premium eight-camera system part by part means lining up channel counts, PoE+ ratings, codecs and storage, and these turrets ask for 802.3at power to run the speaker, the strobe and the white light. Our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit settles the matching: eight channels and eight 802.3at ports, H.265+ at both ends and an 8TB drive, on one invoice and in one delivery. The ports share the recorder’s 120 W budget, so where several turrets run the light, strobe and speaker together, the power question below gives the 12 VDC option.

Think of a double-storey home on a street corner: a turret over the front door, one on the driveway, one on each side passage, then the back deck, the pool gate, the garage roller door and the clothesline corner. A shop with a yard maps out the same way — the entrance, the till, the back door, the loading bay and the staff parking. Our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit puts the recorder’s eight channels to work from the first night.

What the Cameras See — 4K Detail and ColorVu 3.0 Colour After Sunset

Grainy grey night footage tells you something moved; it seldom tells you who. Each DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL turret in our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit relies on F1.0 glass and a 1/1.8″ sensor to hold colour in light as faint as 0.0005 lux, so a porch globe or a streetlight down the road can be enough to keep the picture in colour. Darker corners are handled by Smart Hybrid Light: in its smart mode, IR keeps a discreet watch and a white light reaching 30 m comes on for the people and vehicles the camera classifies, so the clip of that event is recorded in colour, and the light goes off again afterwards. That is full colour night vision on detection, easy on the neighbours between events. Hikvision’s ColorVu demo from 1:24 shows a pitch-black scene coming up in colour by 1:32.

Resolution from each turret of our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit reaches 3840 × 2160 — 4K CCTV with four times the pixel count of 1080p — so when you pause on the moment someone reaches the letterbox, enlarging the frame keeps the detail. The 2.8mm lens takes in 108.8° across, and 130 dB WDR balances a sunlit driveway against a shaded carport in the same shot.

Each housing is metal, sealed to IP67 and rated NEMA 4X against corrosion, and it keeps working between -30 °C and 60 °C — suited to a balcony or a west-facing wall in January. Each turret also takes a microSD card as large as 512 GB for recording on the camera itself.

Strobe and Warning Tone at the Rules You Set — Strobe Light and Audio Alarm

Footage shows you what happened; a warning can change what happens next. Our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit equips each turret with a strobe light and a speaker that reaches 110 dB at 10 cm for an audible warning, and both can be tied to people and vehicle triggers on the lines and zones you draw. Someone climbing the side fence at 3 am is met with a flashing light and a warning sound — a plain sign that the property is watched.

Arm the deterrence on a schedule — from 10 pm until the alarm clock, say — and let it rest while the kids play in the yard or customers come and go through the shop door.

Hear What Happens and Answer It — Two-Way Audio in Each Turret

Each turret has a two-microphone array and its own speaker, so two-way talk runs straight through the Hik-Connect app: answer a courier who is unsure about the side gate, or let a visitor in the car park know the area is recorded. Sound is stored with the video, so a raised voice or a car door at the kerb is part of the clip when you play back footage from our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit.

The Recorder — Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8K Ultra Series PoE NVR with 8TB Drive Supplied

At the heart of our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit sits the DS-7608NI-M2/8P, an eight-channel recorder from Hikvision’s 8K Ultra line with PoE inside. Its eight PoE+ ports meet IEEE 802.3af/at and share a 120 W budget, with 128 Mbps coming in and recording at up to 32MP per channel, so the turrets are stored at their native 4K.

With H.265+ compression keeping each stream lean, the 8TB surveillance-grade drive that comes with our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit holds a long local history from eight 4K streams, and a second SATA bay on the recorder leaves room for another drive. HDMI at up to 8K plus a separate VGA output puts the live grid on a screen at the front desk or in a spare room, and eight-channel synchronous playback lines the cameras up side by side when you trace someone’s path around the property.

On a phone, Hik-Connect for iOS or Android puts push alerts, live view, recorded playback and two-way talk from our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit onto your screen, and iVMS-4200 covers a desktop at the office.

Smart AI — Person and Vehicle Detection on Every Camera

Each turret in our Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit classifies a moving shape as a person or a vehicle using deep-learning human and vehicle detection on board. Line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance and region-exiting rules can then be set to trigger on people, on vehicles or on both, and those triggers decide when your phone gets a push alert and when the strobe and warning sound fire. Draw a line across the driveway entrance, and a car turning in after midnight raises an alert with the clip attached, while face capture can save a still of a face that comes into view.

Who This Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit Suits

🏠 Large homes on wide or corner blocks — eight views from the front porch to the back fence, with the side passages, garage and pool gate in between, and colour clips when someone is detected after dark
