Hikvision 4-Camera G2 Live-Guard Active Deterrence CCTV Kit with 8-Channel PoE NVR — 6MP or 8MP
The Hikvision 4-Camera G2 Live-Guard Kit is a ready-to-install active-deterrence bundle for Australian homes, driveways, retail shops, offices and small commercial sites. Choose 6MP (DS-2CD2366G2H-IS2U/SL) or 8MP 4K (DS-2CD2386G2H-IS2U/SL) AcuSense Live-Guard turrets, paired with the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR. On AcuSense human/vehicle detection every camera fires a white-light strobe, sounds a built-in siren and lets you talk down live via two-way audio — stopping intruders instead of just recording them. Smart Hybrid Light delivers full-colour night imaging, and all four PoE ports power each camera over a single Cat6 run.

Live-Guard Active Deterrence
On AcuSense human/vehicle detection each camera flashes a white-light strobe, sounds a built-in siren and lets you talk down live via Hik-Connect — turning intruders away before they reach the door.
Smart Hybrid Light — Colour at Night
Switchable IR or white light (up to 30 m) delivers full-colour night imaging so you capture clothing and vehicle colour after dark, not grey IR. 8MP adds DarkFighter 2.0 for superior low-light performance.
8-Port PoE — Plug & Play
One Cat6 cable per camera carries power and video to the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies, no extra switch, commissioning in minutes.
AcuSense AI — Fewer False Alarms
Deep-learning analytics classify people and vehicles and ignore trees, shadows, rain and insects, so the strobe, siren and your phone alerts trigger on real events only.

Installation Notes
-
›Cabling: run solid-copper Cat6 from each camera back to the NVR's PoE ports for stable power and video over long distances.
-
›Weatherproofing: even at IP67, seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with weatherproof tape or a junction box to keep out moisture and salt air.
-
›Deterrence zones: set AcuSense detection zones on the highest-risk approaches so the strobe and siren trigger on real human/vehicle events only.

What's the difference between the 6MP and 8MP option?
The 8MP (DS-2CD2386G2H) records true 4K at 3840 × 2160 with a 1/1.8" sensor and DarkFighter 2.0 low-light colour. The 6MP (DS-2CD2366G2H) records 3200 × 1800 — both share Live-Guard strobe, siren, two-way audio and AcuSense AI.
What is Live-Guard active deterrence?
On AcuSense human/vehicle detection each camera flashes a white-light strobe, sounds a built-in siren and lets you open live two-way audio via Hik-Connect — actively turning intruders away.
Do these see colour at night?
Yes — Smart Hybrid Light switches between IR and white light (up to 30 m) for full-colour night imaging. The 8MP model adds DarkFighter 2.0 for superior ultra-low-light colour.
Is a hard drive included?
No — this kit ships without an HDD so you can size storage to your needs. The NVR has two SATA bays (up to 32 TB total); add a surveillance-grade drive to suit your retention.
How are the cameras powered?
Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies. Cat6 cabling is run on site and not included.
