10-Camera G3 System · 8MP 4K · 16CH PoE NVR · Live-Guard
Hikvision 10-Camera 8MP 4K ColorVu 3.0 Live-Guard CCTV Kit with 16-Channel 8K NVR
This premium Hikvision system combines 10 × DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL 8MP 4K turret cameras with a DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16-channel NVR. It suits larger Australian homes, retail, warehouses, offices and strata sites where fine recorded detail and post-event digital zoom matter. Ten PoE ports are used now, leaving six spare channels for expansion.
Every camera combines ColorVu 3.0 low-light imaging, Smart Hybrid Light, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, a white strobe, dual microphones and a built-in speaker. Choose white or black cameras and either a recorder without a hard drive or a fitted 4TB surveillance HDD.

Why Choose the 8MP Kit?
The cameras record at 3840 × 2160 4K UHD, providing roughly 33% more pixels than the 6MP sibling. Choose this system when you expect to crop or digitally zoom recordings, or when larger areas need stronger evidence detail. The 6MP version is the better-value choice where lower storage and bandwidth use matter more.
4K Evidence Detail
Eight-megapixel recording preserves more detail across entrances, parking areas, shop floors and wider scenes, giving you more useful pixels when reviewing footage.
Colour When It Matters
The F1.0 lens and 1/1.8-inch sensor support excellent low-light colour. Smart Hybrid Light can use discreet infrared normally, then add white light when a person or vehicle is detected.
Active Deterrence
On a configured event, the camera can flash its white strobe and play an audible warning. Dual microphones and a speaker support two-way audio through a compatible Hikvision system.
Room to Expand
The 16-channel recorder includes 16 PoE ports. Connect the ten supplied cameras directly and retain six channels for later additions.

Variant Guide
| White cameras |
Best for light soffits, ceilings and most residential exteriors. |
| Black cameras |
Best for dark façades, exposed beams and discreet commercial installations. |
| No HDD |
Choose this only if you already have a compatible surveillance hard drive or your installer will supply one. The recorder cannot retain footage without storage. |
| 4TB surveillance HDD |
A ready-to-record starting point. Ten 8MP cameras can generate substantial data, so consider larger storage where longer 24/7 retention is required. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit include a hard drive?
Only the 4TB variants include a fitted surveillance HDD. Select No HDD if storage will be supplied separately.
Is 4TB enough for ten 8MP cameras?
It is a practical starting point, particularly with event-based recording. For long 24/7 retention, use the NVR’s second bay or choose higher-capacity drives after calculating the required retention.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes. The 16-channel NVR has six spare channels after the ten supplied cameras are connected.
Are the cameras 2.8mm?
Yes. The kit uses the wide-angle 2.8mm version, suited to general property coverage.
Does it include cables or installation?
No. Cabling, monitor, installation and mounting accessories are separate so the system can be matched to the site.
Should I choose 6MP or 8MP?
Choose 8MP for maximum recorded detail and stronger digital zoom. Choose 6MP for lower storage use and better value across ten cameras.
