8 × 8MP AI-Search Kit
Hikvision 8 × 8MP 4K AI-Search CCTV Kit with AcuSeek VPro NVR & 8 AcuSense Turrets
The Hikvision 8-Camera 8MP AI-Search Kit is a premium, evidence-grade bundle for Australian businesses that need to find footage fast — retail, offices, clinics, hospitality, warehouses and multi-tenant sites. It pairs eight DS-2CD2386G2-IU 8MP 4K AcuSense turret cameras with the DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPro 8-channel AcuSeek AI NVR. Instead of scrubbing through hours of recordings, you simply describe what you're looking for in plain English — "a person in a red jacket near the front gate" — and the NVR returns matching clips across all 8 channels in seconds. AcuSense AI on every camera classifies people and vehicles to cut false alarms, and the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports power each camera over a single Cat6 run.

AcuSeek — Search Footage by Description
Powered by Hikvision's Guanlan large-scale AI model, AcuSeek lets you type what you're looking for in plain English and returns matching clips across all 8 channels in seconds — no manual scrubbing, no event tagging in advance. Image-based AcuSearch also finds every other appearance of a person or vehicle from a single reference photo.
True 4K (8MP) Evidence Detail
A 3840 × 2160 sensor on every camera captures the detail needed to digitally zoom into recorded footage and still identify a face or number plate — court-ready 4K evidence across the whole site.
AcuSense AI — Fewer False Alarms
On-camera deep-learning classification separates people and vehicles from animals, foliage and shadows, so only real events trigger alerts and recording — typically ~90% fewer nuisance notifications than motion-only systems.
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. Two SATA bays accept up to 32 TB total for weeks to months of 4K retention.

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 (up to ~100 m).
-
›Weatherproofing: even at IP67, seal outdoor RJ-45 joins with weatherproof tape or a junction box to keep out moisture and salt air.
-
›Storage sizing: eight 4K channels use significant bandwidth — fit a surveillance HDD per bay (up to 32 TB total) for weeks to months of retention.

What is AcuSeek and how does it work?
AcuSeek is Hikvision's natural-language video search powered by the Guanlan AI model. Describe what you're looking for in plain English — "a person in a red jacket at the front gate" — and the NVR returns matching clips across all 8 channels in seconds, no manual scrubbing.
Does the kit come with a hard drive?
The NVR ships chassis-only by default. Add a surveillance-grade HDD per bay (2 TB to 16 TB each, up to 32 TB total). We recommend Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple for 24/7 reliability.
How does AcuSense reduce false alarms?
Deep-learning AI on each camera classifies motion as human, vehicle or other, so leaves, animals and shadows don't trigger alerts — only real events reach your phone.
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.
Are there ongoing subscription fees for the AI?
No. AcuSeek, AcuSearch and facial recognition all run on-board the NVR — no cloud fees, no facial data leaving your premises, ever.
