§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU is
This Hikvision 8 MP 8-channel kit is a complete eight-camera system supplied ready to record, built around the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turret.
It combines eight of these cameras with an eight-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P PoE NVR and a 4 TB surveillance hard drive already fitted, so each camera connects on a single network cable and the recorder is set up to capture all eight channels from the start.
The turret cameras are a strong all-rounder.
Each is an 8 MP (4K) camera with a bright F1.0 lens and Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light imaging, which is the standout here: with even a little ambient light, such as a street lamp or porch light, they hold clean, detailed images at night.
AcuSense deep learning classifies human and vehicle targets so alerts and searches ignore rain, shadows and animals, and 120 dB wide dynamic range balances bright and dark areas.
Each camera also has a built-in microphone, so the kit records audio alongside the video; being a microphone-only camera, it is not a two-way intercom.
A couple of honest notes so it is set up correctly.
These are infrared cameras with a 30 metre range, so in complete darkness the night image is infrared black and white; the F1.0 DarkFighter sensor gives the best low-light colour where some ambient light is present, but this is not a white-light ColorVu kit that films in full colour all night.
The IP67 metal bodies suit outdoor walls and eaves.
The 4 TB drive is included as standard, and H.265+ compression keeps storage efficient, with room to fit a larger drive later.

AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps alerts and searches focused on people and vehicles, not weather or animals.
Complete and ready to record
Eight 8 MP turrets, an eight-channel PoE NVR and a fitted 4 TB drive arrive set up, so a single cable per camera gets it running.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Homes with some street lighting
Make the most of porch and street light for strong night colour around the house with audio.

§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
In the box
Eight DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turret cameras, the DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR with a 4 TB drive fitted, power supply and mounting accessories. Connect a monitor for local viewing.
Cabling
Run one network cable from each camera to a PoE port on the NVR. Standard Ethernet runs apply, and a PoE switch can extend reach for distant cameras.
Mounting
Fix each turret to a wall or eave covering an entrance, driveway or open area within the 30 metre infrared range, and aim using the three-axis turret movement.
Setup
Connect the NVR to a screen and the network, add the cameras on the plug-and-play PoE ports, set the AcuSense rules, recording schedule and audio recording where permitted, and set up remote viewing in the Hik-Connect app.
