Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit — 6x 4K AI Turrets, Night Vision, 4TB HDD — Black DarkFighter, Person + Vehicle Alerts, DS-2CD2386G2H-IU-BLK + DS-7608NI-M2/8P
AUD $2,726.00
This 8MP CCTV kit puts six black security cameras, an 8 channel PoE NVR and a 4TB disk on one invoice. The Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit watches the porch, the drive, both fences, the back deck and the garage mouth, and still leaves two PoE ports free for a seventh and eighth outdoor turret on the same invoice.
Why the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit:
⬛ Black Turrets That Sit Under the Eaves — six DS-2CD2386G2H-IU-BLK housings in black, so the cameras read as part of the fascia on dark brick, charcoal cladding and stained timber rather than a row of white domes.
🔎 Crop the Driveway Shot and Still Read It — each turret records 3840 × 2160, so a wide 2.8 mm view of the front yard still holds the vehicle and the person at the bin when you zoom the playback later.
🌑 A Face at the Side Gate After Dark — the 1/1.8″ DarkFighter sensor and F1.0 lens keep colour down to 0.0008 lux; when the street light is gone, Smart IR to 30 m takes over and eases off for anyone standing close to the lens.
🚶 Phone Alerts for People and Cars — AcuSense on every camera sorts a person or a vehicle from wind-blown trees before the recorder bothers your phone.
🔉 The Knock Is on the Recording — each outdoor turret carries a mic, so a van idling on the concrete and the words at the door sit on the same 4K CCTV clip. One-way audio: the cameras pick up sound for the recording.
📲 Live View From the Office or the Ute — Hik-Connect on the phone shows live video, playback and the alerts you actually want to open.
🆓 Two Ports Still Empty — the DS-7608NI-M2/8P has eight PoE ports and this kit uses six, so a matching black turret on the lane or the warehouse roller door adds to this order rather than a second visit.
💾 Footage Stays in the House — recordings land on the 4TB surveillance-grade drive supplied with the recorder. No monthly cloud fee. The second SATA bay is empty if you want more days kept.
🌧️ Rated for an Australian Eave — IP67 metal turrets, −30 °C to 60 °C, mounted outside through a Sydney summer or a Melbourne winter.
🏆 Genuine AU Stock, Fast Delivery — three years’ manufacturer warranty on the recorder and every camera, dispatched from Melbourne and Sydney warehouses.

Why the Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit Is Worth Buying as a Kit
A six-camera job on an eight-channel recorder is the usual step up from a four-camera house: extra corners, a garage mouth, a side gate. Those pieces only work as a system if the recorder can power the turrets, decode six 4K streams at once and understand the AcuSense events they send. The Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit settles the match — six DS-2CD2386G2H-IU-BLK housings, the DS-7608NI-M2/8P sized for eight cameras, and a 4TB disk that arrives with the recorder, covered on the same warranty.
It also kills the quoting spreadsheet. One price, one dispatch from Melbourne and Sydney warehouses, and a single 3-year manufacturer term on the NVR plus every lens in the box. If you have been lining up cameras, a recorder and a drive on three tabs, the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit is the order that replaces them.
What the Cameras See — Black 8MP 4K AcuSense After Dark
Six DS-2CD2386G2H-IU-BLK cameras ship in the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit. Each writes 8MP (3840 × 2160) through a wide 2.8 mm F1.0 optic — 108.8° across — enough to hold a driveway from one eave, or a side path from the back corner. That pixel count is why a later crop of the yard still shows who stood by the bins. Doorways with the afternoon sun behind them, and cars that swing headlights across the lens, sit inside 120 dB WDR.
After sunset the large 1/1.8″ DarkFighter sensor keeps a colour picture in light down to 0.0008 lux, so a porch with a single wall light stays in colour. When that light is gone, 850 nm infrared covers 30 m and eases off for a face a metre from the glass, so whoever is waiting at the side gate stays readable.
The housings are black metal, IP67, rated −30 °C to 60 °C. They sit on charcoal brick and dark fascia as part of the eave line, and PoE feed to each outdoor turret tops out at 8 W.
Hear What Happens — Microphone in Every Black Turret
A still of someone at the door is useful. The same clip with the knock and the words that followed is what makes the timeline make sense. Every black housing in the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit carries a mic, so audio rides with the video in Hik-Connect and on the recorder. One-way audio applies: mics write sound onto the clip.
The Recorder — Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-Channel PoE NVR with Room to Grow
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P is an M Series 8K recorder with eight IEEE 802.3af/at PoE ports and a 120 W PoE budget. Six cameras at 8 W each draw 48 W, so the six that ship in the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit sit well inside that budget, and the two unused ports are there for a matching black turret on this order — a lane camera, a warehouse door, a second shopfront.
Two SATA bays, each taking a drive up to 16 TB. This kit supplies a 4TB surveillance-grade drive for the first bay; the second bay stays empty until you add another drive to the same order. H.265+ compression stretches how many days that first disk holds before the oldest night is overwritten. Footage stays on the premises. No monthly fee for keeping it.
Independent HDMI and VGA outputs drive a counter screen and a study monitor at the same time, with HDMI able to run a panel up to 8K. Eight-channel synchronous playback lines the same minute up across every camera. Hik-Connect is the phone path.
Smart AI That Reaches the Phone — AcuSense on Each Camera
A recorder that pings you for every moving branch trains you to ignore it. AcuSense runs on the turret and classifies the moving shape before anything is sent. Line-crossing, intrusion and region rules you set then fire only for the target type you chose. The Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit is built so a stranger on the driveway reaches your phone and the paperbark in the wind stays off it.
Who This Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit Suits
🏠 Corner blocks and two-storey homes — front entry, driveway, both side gates, back deck and the garage mouth in 4K, with two ports left for the lane or the pool fence.
🏢 Shopfronts, small warehouses and yard-based trades — entry, counter, stock door and the ute bay on an 8 channel PoE NVR that also feeds a screen at the desk, plus two spare ports for the roller door and the side alley.
🔧 Installers quoting an 8-channel job — a matched Hikvision set on one purchase order: one Cat6 lead per camera, drive supplied, black security cameras that disappear on dark fascia, three years covering the NVR and the six lenses, and the spec table below to drop into the quote.

Hikvision 8 Channel CCTV Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will six cameras cover a corner block?
A: That is the job this Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit is built for — entry, drive, both fences, the deck and the garage mouth. The two unused PoE ports are there if the lane or the pool fence also needs a matching black turret on this order.
Q: Can I add a seventh and eighth camera now?
A: Yes. Add a DS-2CD2386G2H-IU-BLK to this order for each free port. Six cameras draw 48 W against the recorder’s 120 W PoE budget, so two more at 8 W each still sit inside it.
Q: Is a hard drive supplied?
A: Yes — the Hikvision 8 channel CCTV kit comes with a 4TB surveillance-grade drive.
Q: Can I open live view from work?
A: Yes. Hik-Connect on iOS or Android shows live view, playback and person or vehicle alerts from this 4K CCTV system on any connection you trust.
Q: Do these cameras record the conversation at the door?
A: Yes — one-way audio from the mic in each housing. Sound is written next to the video and you hear it back in Hik-Connect or on the HDMI screen.
Q: How do the six cameras get their power?
A: From the recorder. Its eight PoE ports share a 120 W budget; each outdoor turret draws 8 W at most, and a single Cat6 run feeds that camera.
Q: What goes in the empty drive bay?
A: A second surveillance-grade drive, added to this order. The DS-7608NI-M2/8P has two SATA bays; this kit fills the first with 4TB and leaves the second ready.
