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-M2/8P 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.

What the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU features actually look like
Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.
8MP Ultra HD
8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.
30m IR Night Vision
Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.
False Alarm Reduction
Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.
Human/Vehicle Detection
Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.
IP67 Weatherproof
Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2386G2H-IU
Records audio too
A built-in microphone on every camera captures sound alongside the 4K video for a fuller record of events.
Fewer false alarms
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.
Retail and offices
Discreet turret coverage of entries, tills and corridors with 4K detail and recorded sound.
Car parks and yards
Wide, low-light coverage of bays, gates and approaches with human and vehicle alerts.
Multi-camera homes and businesses

06Setup
Installation & setup
-
01
In the box
Eight DS-2CD2386G2H-IU turret cameras, the DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR with a 4 TB drive fitted, power supply and mounting accessories. Connect a monitor for local viewing.
-
02
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.
-
03
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.
-
04
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.

Q.01
Is the kit ready to record out of the box?
Yes. It includes the eight 8 MP AcuSense turret cameras, the eight-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P PoE NVR and a 4 TB surveillance hard drive already fitted, so each camera connects on one network cable and the recorder captures all eight channels. Add a screen or use the Hik-Connect app to view.
Q.02
What is special about the F1.0 lens and DarkFighter?
The bright F1.0 lens lets in more light than a standard lens, and Powered-by-DarkFighter sensor technology turns that into clean, detailed images in low light. Where there is some ambient light, such as a street or porch light, these cameras hold strong colour detail at night, well above a basic camera.
Q.03
Do the cameras film in full colour all night?
Only where there is some ambient light, thanks to the bright F1.0 DarkFighter sensor. In complete darkness they switch to 30 metre infrared, so the image is black and white. They do not have a white-light supplement, so for guaranteed full-colour footage in total darkness you would choose a ColorVu kit.
Q.04
Do the cameras record sound?
Yes. The DS-2CD2386G2H-IU has a built-in microphone, so the kit records audio together with the video. It is a microphone-only camera, not a two-way intercom, so you cannot speak back through it. Confirm that recording audio is permitted for your site before enabling it.
Q.05
What does AcuSense do?
AcuSense uses on-camera deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets and ignore other movement such as rain, leaves or animals. The system alerts you to what matters, cuts false alarms, and lets you search recordings by human or vehicle events rather than scrubbing through footage.
Q.06
Is the kit full, or can I add more cameras?
The recorder is an eight-channel NVR and the kit uses all eight channels, so it is complete as supplied. To add more cameras you would step up to a larger recorder, such as a 16-channel NVR, and use a PoE switch for the extra ports.
Q.07
How much will the 4 TB drive store?
The included 4 TB surveillance drive gives generous everyday retention for eight 8 MP cameras, helped by H.265+ compression. Exact days depend on motion, frame rate and quality, and a larger drive can be fitted for longer retention.
Q.08
Are the cameras suitable for outdoors?
Yes. The turret cameras are IP67 rated against dust and water in a metal body, so they suit outdoor walls and eaves as well as indoor positions, with 30 metre infrared for night coverage and the three-axis turret mount for easy aiming.
