Important — Site Suitability
The /SRB red & blue strobe is designed for commercial, industrial and rural premises. It is not intended for residential, strata or street-facing installation, where a police-style red/blue light may be restricted. Always check your local council and strata rules before deploying the red/blue strobe.
Red & Blue Active Deterrence
On AcuSense human or vehicle detection, each turret fires an alternating red & blue police-style strobe, sounds its 2 W speaker and lets you talk down live via Hik-Connect — a highly visible warning that stops trouble before it starts.
ColorVu 3.0 — True 24/7 Colour
A 1/1.8" sensor with F1.0 super-aperture delivers full-colour footage down to 0.0005 lux. Smart Hybrid Light adds white light or IR up to 30 m, so you capture clothing and plate colour all night — not grey IR.
8-Port PoE — Plug & Play
One Cat6 cable per camera carries power and video to the NVR's eight built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies and no extra switch. The cameras draw PoE+ (802.3at), which the NVR's af/at ports supply.
Built to Last Outdoors
IP67 and NEMA 4X rated with 130 dB WDR for harsh light, these turrets suit exposed commercial, industrial and rural perimeters. On-board microSD (up to 512 GB) adds edge recording redundancy.
When does the red & blue strobe activate?
It is event-triggered — the alternating red/blue light fires only when AcuSense classifies a human or vehicle in the detection zone, along with the speaker warning. It is not on continuously.
Do the cameras need PoE+?
Yes. Each camera draws up to 17 W and requires IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), not 802.3af. The supplied DS-7608NI-M2/8P delivers af/at from its eight ports, so no separate injector is needed.
Where can I install the red/blue strobe?
The /SRB model is intended for commercial, industrial and rural premises — not residential, strata or street-facing use, where a police-style red/blue light may be restricted. Check local council and strata rules first.
Is a hard drive included?
No — the kit ships without an HDD so you can size storage to your needs. Add a surveillance-grade drive (6TB+ suits most six-camera 8MP installs); the NVR has two SATA bays for up to 32 TB total.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes. The kit uses six of the NVR's eight channels and PoE ports, so you can add up to two more compatible Hikvision PoE cameras — eight in total.
Do these really see colour at night?
Yes — ColorVu 3.0 with an F1.0 super-aperture delivers full-colour images down to 0.0005 lux, with Smart Hybrid Light adding white light or IR up to 30 m as needed.
