Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit — Build Your Own System — 8K Ultra PoE NVR Included. Cameras, Storage and Extras Optional
AUD $635.00
Build a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit around your property instead of taking a fixed bundle of eight identical cameras. The Hikvision 8 channel 8K Ultra Series PoE recorder is included as standard. Everything else is yours to choose in the configurator below, and the price adjusts as you add or remove each item, so what you see at checkout is the exact system you receive.
The product photo is a sample configuration — it shows what this kit can become, not what ships at the base price. Only the Hikvision 8 channel 8K Ultra PoE NVR is included as standard. Cameras, hard drives and accessories are optional. Select the ones you want below and the price updates to match the system you build.
Hikvision CCTV Security System Kit Contains:
1 x Hikvision 8 Channel 8K Ultra Series PoE Network Video Recorder (NVR) — DS-7608NI-M2/8P — included as standard
Add only what your property actually needs — every option below is part of the Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit:
📹 6MP AcuSense DarkFighter turret cameras — white or black, the everyday workhorse with sharp low-light colour and human and vehicle detection built in
🎥 8MP 4K AcuSense turret cameras — more pixels on faces and number plates across driveways, yards and car parks
🔴 Active deterrence cameras — red and blue strobe plus an audible warning that challenges intruders before they reach the door, in 6MP and 8MP
🌈 ColorVu 3.0 cameras — full colour at night in turret, mini bullet and mini dome bodies, with hybrid light that stays discreet until motion is detected
🔍 Varifocal zoom cameras — motorised 8MP domes and bullets that frame the shot precisely on a gate, long fence line or loading dock
↔️ 180° panoramic turret — one camera covers a whole yard, forecourt or shopfront frontage
💡 HiLook 6MP AI turret cameras — a value option for secondary positions, white or black
💾 Surveillance-grade hard drives — 4TB to 10TB, built for 24/7 recording
🔋 Hikvision UPS battery backup — keeps the recorder and every PoE camera recording through a power cut
💽 Two drive bays — up to 16TB each (HDD not included). The recorder is ready for a single drive today and a second drive whenever you want more retention.
Accessories to Suit This Kit:
Hikvision brackets & mounts: View Hikvision brackets and junction boxes — tidy cable entry and a clean finish on every camera position.

Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit — Build Your Own System — 8K Ultra PoE NVR Included
8 channels · 8 built-in PoE ports · 8K HDMI output · records cameras up to 32MP · AcuSense human and vehicle detection · two drive bays to 16TB each (HDD not included) · Authorised Australian Product
A fixed eight-camera bundle gives you eight of the same camera. Most properties are not built that way. The driveway wants number plates, the front door wants a face and a warning, the back fence wants a wide view in colour after dark, and the side path only needs a watchful eye. A Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit lets you put the right Hikvision camera in each of those positions and pay only for the cameras you actually mount, all recording to one Hikvision 8K Ultra Series PoE recorder that is included as standard.
If you arrived from one of our individual Hikvision camera or recorder pages, this is the page that turns those parts into a complete system. Tick the cameras, the hard drive and the accessories you want in the configurator and the price adjusts live. The recorder is the only fixed component. Everything else in a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit is your call.
How the Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit Works — Three Decisions and You Are Done
The first decision is made for you: the Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8 channel 8K Ultra Series PoE NVR is the base of every Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit, so recording, power delivery, remote viewing and AI event handling are already covered. Your second decision is cameras — how many, which resolution and which body for each position, with the choices explained below. Your third is finishing: a surveillance hard drive for the drive bays, brackets and junction boxes for a clean install, and a UPS or monitor if you want them. Each tick adds that item to the price. Add to cart when the total matches the system you want.
Nothing is locked in. Start with four cameras and add the rest next season. The Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit grows to eight cameras without replacing anything, because the recorder you buy today already has the ports, the bandwidth and the 8K output to handle a full loadout.
The product image on this listing is a sample configuration. It shows one way a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit can be built, and the base purchase is the recorder. Only the Hikvision 8 channel 8K Ultra PoE NVR is included as standard. Cameras, the hard drives and every accessory are optional add-ons selected in the configurator, and the total price adjusts to whatever you choose.
Included as Standard in Every Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit — the 8K Ultra Series PoE NVR
The Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P anchors every Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit. It records eight IP cameras at up to 32MP each with 128 Mbps of incoming bandwidth, so every camera in the configurator — including the 8MP 4K and varifocal models — records at full resolution and full frame rate at the same time. H.265+ compression cuts storage by up to 75% against H.264, so the same drive holds far more footage before it starts overwriting.
Plug a Hikvision camera into one of its eight built-in PoE ports and the recorder powers it, finds it and starts recording. The ports meet IEEE 802.3af/at with a 120W shared budget, enough to run eight active-deterrence cameras with their strobes and speakers. Independent HDMI and VGA outputs drive a local screen, with HDMI at up to 8K so a 4K camera wall displays without downscaling. Hik-Connect gives you live view, playback and push alerts on your phone from anywhere.
It handles the smart events from AcuSense and ColorVu 3.0 cameras across the system — human and vehicle detection, line crossing, intrusion and the deterrence triggers — and records the event clips with the target type marked, so you search by person or vehicle instead of scrubbing through hours of swaying trees. Four alarm inputs and one alarm output are on the rear panel for gates, sirens and external sensors.
Choose Your Cameras — Match the Camera to the Job It Has to Do
This is where a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit earns its keep. Every camera below is a Hikvision camera from our Hikvision IP camera range, mixed to suit the position rather than forced to match each other.
| Camera type | What it is for |
|---|---|
| 6MP AcuSense DarkFighter turret (white or black) | The everyday choice for eaves, entries and side paths — sharp low-light colour with human and vehicle detection so alerts only fire for what matters |
| 8MP 4K AcuSense turret (white or black) | Driveways, car parks and wide yards — four times the pixels of 1080p for readable plates and faces at distance |
| Active deterrence turret with strobe and audio (6MP or 8MP) | Front doors, gates and sheds — flashes red and blue and sounds a warning the moment a person or vehicle crosses the line, with two-way talk |
| ColorVu 3.0 turret, mini bullet and mini dome (6MP or 8MP) | Positions where colour after dark matters — clothing, vehicle colour, the shade of a car in a black-and-white world |
| Motorised varifocal 8MP dome and bullet | Long fence lines, loading docks and gates — zoom the frame in from the recorder to put the pixels exactly where the action is |
| 4MP 180° panoramic turret | One camera for a whole backyard, forecourt or shopfront — a seamless wide view from a single camera position |
| HiLook 6MP AI turret (white or black) | A value option for secondary positions — the carport, the bin area, the back of the shed — that still gets human and vehicle detection |
Every camera offered in a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit is built for outdoor mounting and runs on the recorder’s PoE, so a single Cat6 cable per camera carries power and data. Mix bodies freely: a deterrence turret at the front door, a 4K turret on the driveway, ColorVu at the back and a panoramic over the yard all record side by side on the one screen.
Storage, Power and Screen — Finishing Your Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit
Recording needs a drive. The recorder has two drive bays and takes surveillance-grade drives up to 16TB in each, so a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit scales from a 4TB starter to 32TB of retention. Pick a 4TB, 6TB, 8TB or 10TB surveillance hard drive in the configurator. With eight cameras recording continuously in H.265+, a 6TB drive is the comfortable middle ground for most homes and shops; choose larger if you run several 4K cameras or want longer retention.
Two options are worth a moment. A UPS battery backup keeps the recorder and every PoE camera running through a power cut, which is exactly when you most want footage. A monitor on the recorder’s HDMI output gives you a local live view without a phone or PC. Brackets and junction boxes hide the cable tail behind each camera and finish the position properly.
8 Built-In PoE Ports — One Cable Per Camera, Power and Data Together
Each of the eight ports delivers power and data over one Cat6 run, so every camera in a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit installs with a single cable back to the recorder. There is one power point to find — the recorder’s — and the whole system sits on one UPS if you add it. That is what makes an eight-camera install a weekend job rather than a rewire.
It keeps the system honest over time, too. Wired PoE stays on when Wi-Fi drops, the cameras draw power and data down the cable so they stay up as long as the recorder does, and the recorder shows a port going down the moment a cable is cut or a camera is knocked out. For a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit that is expected to run for years, that reliability is the point.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hikvision 8 Channel Customisable CCTV Kit
Q: What exactly do I receive if I buy this at the base price?
You receive the Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8 channel 8K Ultra Series PoE recorder on its own. The photograph is a sample configuration showing what a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit can be built into — cameras, the hard drives and every accessory in it are optional. Whatever you tick in the configurator is added to the price shown, so the total you see at checkout is the system you will actually receive.
Q: Do I have to fill all eight channels, and can I add cameras later?
Start with as many as you need — four is a common first order. Every port on the recorder is live from day one, so adding a camera later is a cable and a click in Hik-Connect. Any Hikvision or HiLook PoE camera in our range plugs straight into a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit, so the second round of cameras can be different bodies again.
Q: Can I mix 6MP, 8MP and ColorVu cameras on the one recorder?
Yes. The recorder accepts cameras up to 32MP on every channel and records them all at full resolution and frame rate at once. Put the 4K where you need detail, ColorVu where you need colour at night and 6MP everywhere else — they all appear on the one live view and the one app.
Q: Should I choose this or a ready-made Hikvision 8 channel kit?
Choose the ready-made kit when eight of the same camera suits the property and you want the fastest checkout. Choose a Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit when the positions differ — deterrence at the door, 4K on the drive, colour at the back — or when you want to start smaller and grow. Same recorder, same warranty, same Australian stock; the difference is that you decide the cameras.
Complete the Installation
Finish your Hikvision 8 channel customisable CCTV kit properly. Run pre-terminated Cat6 CCTV cables — one per camera, carrying power and data together from the recorder’s PoE ports. Add brackets and junction boxes to hide cable tails and finish each position properly. Prefer a fixed loadout? Browse the ready-made Hikvision 8 channel kits. And to cover the doors, windows and rooms your cameras cannot see, pair the system with a Hikvision AX Pro wireless alarm system.
