8 × 8MP AcuSense Kit
Hikvision 8 × 8MP 4K AcuSense CCTV Kit with 8-Channel 8K NVR
The Hikvision 8-Camera 8MP AcuSense Kit is a ready-to-install bundle for Australian homes and businesses — houses, shops, warehouses, offices and small commercial sites. It pairs eight DS-2CD2386G2-IU 8MP 4K AcuSense turret cameras with a DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel 8K NVR. AcuSense deep-learning AI classifies people and vehicles to cut false alarms, and all 8 PoE ports power each camera over a single Cat6 run.

A 1/1.8" sensor captures 3840 × 2160 detail with the headroom to digitally zoom into recorded footage and still identify a face or number plate.
AcuSense AI — Fewer False Alarms
Deep-learning classification separates people and vehicles from animals, foliage and shadows, so only real events trigger alerts and recording.
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.

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.
-
›Storage sizing: eight 4K channels use significant bandwidth — fit a surveillance HDD sized to your needs, up to 32 TB total across both bays for 30+ days of retention.
