Hikvision 4 Channel CCTV Kit — 4x 4K AI Cameras, Night Vision, 4TB HDD — 8MP DarkFighter, Built-in Mic, DS-2CD2386G2H-IU PoE Turrets + DS-7604NI-M1/4P
AUD $1,894.00
A 4 camera CCTV system sized for a typical house or shopfront: four 8MP 4K security cameras (Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turrets), the DS-7604NI-M1/4P recorder that powers and records them, with a 4TB surveillance-grade hard drive supplied, bought on one order. Put one turret of the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit over the porch, the carport, the side path and the rear yard, run a cable from each back to the recorder, and those four spots are on camera from the first night.
What the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit gives you:
📹 Detail You Can Zoom Into on Playback — each turret records 3840 × 2160, about 8.3 million pixels a frame, so the logo on a caller’s jacket at the front door can be enlarged out of the wide shot; detail falls away with distance, as the spec table’s identify and recognise rows show.
🌙 Colour Under the Porch Light, Infrared Past It — the large 1/1.8″ DarkFighter sensor and F1.0 lens hold colour as the light drops, to 0.0008 lux, then Smart IR night vision takes over in darkness, reaching 30 m and easing off for a face close to the lens.
🎯 Virtual Tripwires for People and Cars — AcuSense on each turret classifies human and vehicle targets, and the line-crossing, intrusion and region rules you draw can be set to trigger on the classes you pick.
🎙️ What Was Said at the Front Step — a built-in microphone in each turret records the voice at the door and the clack of the side gate with the picture; it is one-way audio, for listening back.
📱 Watch Live From Work or Holidays — the Hik-Connect app brings up the four cameras live, replays what the recorder holds and pings your phone when a detection rule you have armed is triggered.
🔌 Mount on the Eave, Powered From the Recorder — the DS-7604NI-M1/4P has four PoE ports sharing 60 W; the four turrets draw 8 W each, 32 W between them, carried with the video down one Cat6 lead per camera.
💾 Local Recording on the Supplied Drive — a 4TB surveillance-grade drive is supplied with the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit, and H.265+ compression stretches how long the four cameras’ footage lasts on it, with no monthly fees for storage.
🌧️ Weatherproof Through Monsoon Rain and Hobart Frost — IP67-sealed metal turrets rated from -30 °C to 60 °C, suited to a shop awning, a garage wall or a second-storey fascia.
🏆 Genuine Hikvision, Sent From Melbourne or Sydney — Authorised Australian stock: the recorder and four turrets of the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit, backed by the manufacturer’s warranty and held in our own Australian warehouses.

Why the Hikvision 4 Channel CCTV Kit Is Worth Buying as a Kit
Bought piece by piece, a 4 camera CCTV system leaves you checking compatibility: will this recorder power these cameras, handle their 4K streams and pick up their detection events? Here the matching is already done — the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit brings four DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turrets, the DS-7604NI-M1/4P recorder chosen to run them, and a 4TB surveillance-grade drive, on one invoice.
For a homeowner, that means one price to weigh against an installer’s quote. For an installer, it means one parts list for the standard four-camera job, sourced and invoiced together.
What the Cameras See — 4K Detail Through a 2.8 mm F1.0 Lens
With the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit, each turret records 8MP at 3840 × 2160 through a 2.8 mm F1.0 lens, and its 108.8° horizontal field takes in a carport from one eave. That pixel count is what lets you enlarge part of the frame on playback and pick out a cap or the print on a shirt on someone near the turret; the identify and recognise rows of the spec table say how near that has to be. For a doorway lit from behind by the afternoon sun, 120 dB WDR evens out the glare so the caller’s features stay visible.
As daylight fades, the large 1/1.8″ DarkFighter sensor and the F1.0 aperture keep gathering colour down to 0.0008 lux, so a footpath under a street lamp is still recorded in colour. When the last light goes, the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit switches to black-and-white night vision through Smart IR, with 850 nm infrared reaching 30 m, and turns its output down when someone comes close, so a person right at the screen door is shown clearly instead of washed out.
The housings are IP67-rated metal, working from -30 °C to 60 °C, which covers a west-facing wall in a Perth February and a frosty Ballarat morning; each turret draws 8 W at most.
Hear What Happens — A Built-in Microphone in Each Turret
Pictures show what happened; sound often explains it — a shouted name, a car left idling at the kerb, someone rattling the side-gate latch. A built-in microphone sits in each turret of the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit, and the audio is saved alongside the footage, so the two play back together on the recorder and in the Hik-Connect app. The microphones give one-way audio: you hear the scene, and the turrets record it.
The Recorder — Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P With Four PoE Ports and a 4TB Drive Supplied
The DS-7604NI-M1/4P is a compact M Series NVR built for this loadout: four camera channels, four IEEE 802.3af/at PoE ports sharing 60 W, and 40 Mbps of incoming bandwidth. Four turrets at 8 W apiece draw 32 W, so the recorder powers the set with plenty left in its budget.
A 4TB surveillance-grade drive is supplied for the recorder’s SATA bay. H.265+ compression keeps each recording small, which stretches the number of days the four cameras’ footage lasts on the drive. Recordings from the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit stay on your property and carry no monthly fees.
Independent HDMI and VGA outputs let the recorder drive a TV behind a shop counter and a monitor in the home office at the same time, and the HDMI port supports screens up to 8K. Synchronous playback lines up the four cameras at the same moment, which makes it easy to follow one visitor from the gate to the front door, and the Hik-Connect app brings the live picture and recordings to your phone.
Smart AI — AcuSense Person and Vehicle Classification in Each Turret
Each DS-2CD2386G2H-IU in the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit runs AcuSense deep learning inside the camera itself. It classifies human and vehicle targets, and the line-crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting rules you set can be told to trigger only on the classes you choose — people on the side path, for example, and vehicles crossing a line at the driveway. The recorder receives those human and vehicle detection events from the cameras, and the Hik-Connect app can pass the ones you switch on to your phone.

🏠 Homes on a suburban block or a townhouse lot — a turret over the front step, one on the drive, one down the side and one facing the back fence, with sound on the recording and detail to crop.

Hikvision 4 Channel CCTV Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How far away can a face still be made out when I enlarge the clip?
A: It depends on distance. Each turret captures 3840 × 2160, roughly 8.3 million pixels, so a face close to the turret (someone standing on the porch) holds up when enlarged on playback where a 1080p camera would break into blocks sooner; the identify and recognise rows in the spec table give the distances for the 2.8 mm lens.
Q: What does the picture look like at 2 am?
A: Black and white, lit out to 30 m by each turret’s own 850 nm infrared night vision. Earlier in the evening, while a street lamp or porch light is on, the DarkFighter sensor keeps the image in colour down to 0.0008 lux.
Q: Is a hard drive part of the price?
A: Yes — the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit comes with a 4TB surveillance-grade drive.
Q: What does the phone app let me do while I’m at work?
A: The Hik-Connect app shows the four cameras live, plays back recordings from the recorder and pushes a notification to your phone when one of your armed detection rules trips.
Q: Do the turrets record voices, and can I speak through them?
A: They record voices — each turret has a built-in microphone, and the audio plays back alongside the picture. It is one-way audio: the turrets listen and record.
Q: Where do the turrets get their power?
A: From the recorder of the Hikvision 4 channel CCTV kit, over the same Cat6 lead that carries the video. Its four PoE ports share 60 W, and the four turrets need 8 W each, 32 W between them.
Q: Which extras are worth putting on the same order?
A: Junction boxes and mounting brackets to seal the cable entry behind each turret; pre-terminated Cat6 cables in lengths to suit each run; UPS battery backup so recording carries on through a power cut; and a matching surveillance monitor for a live four-way view at the counter or in the hallway.
