Why Choose This Product?
Choose this Hikvision 4MP PoE CCTV kit when you want a wired camera system with useful event detection and the ability to communicate through the cameras. Its wide-angle turret cameras suit entrances, driveways, shops and other areas where both monitoring and interaction are useful.
This AcuSense CCTV system combines central recording with human and vehicle classification, helping you review relevant activity. Select the recorder size, camera quantity and storage capacity to suit your installation and any planned expansion.
4MP Image Quality and Wide-Angle Coverage
Each camera provides up to 2688 × 1520 resolution, with up to 25fps in 50Hz mode or 30fps in 60Hz mode. The fixed 2.8mm lens offers a 100° horizontal, 55° vertical and 120° diagonal field of view.
The F1.0 aperture supports low-light imaging, while 120dB Wide Dynamic Range helps balance bright backgrounds and shaded subjects. Plan camera positions around the detail you need; broad coverage does not guarantee identification throughout the entire scene.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
This AcuSense CCTV system supports human and vehicle classification for motion detection and perimeter events. Available perimeter rules include line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting.
Configure detection areas, schedules and sensitivity to suit each position. The cameras also support face capture, which records face images for use with compatible systems; face capture alone does not identify a person.
Two-Way Audio and Active Warnings
The integrated dual microphones and speaker make this a two-way audio CCTV kit, allowing you to listen and speak through supported Hikvision equipment and software.
White warning strobes and audible alarms can be linked to supported events. The /SL camera uses a white warning light; configure its operation to suit the property and the areas being monitored.
Infrared Night Vision
Infrared illumination reaches up to 30m, supporting black-and-white monitoring in darkness. The camera includes an IR-cut filter and smart supplementary-light control.
The white strobe is an event-warning function. Actual night-time detail depends on distance, scene conditions and installation; the illumination range is not a guaranteed identification distance.
Recording, Storage and Remote Viewing
Record centrally to the selected NVR hard drive and review footage through a connected monitor. H.265+ compression helps manage bandwidth and storage use, with recording duration depending on camera quantity, bitrate, frame rate and recording schedule.
Select a hard drive if you need NVR recording. The No HDD option requires a compatible drive to be fitted separately. Each camera also supports an optional microSD card up to 512GB for configured local recording.
Hik-Connect supports remote viewing and other compatible functions after activation, network setup and internet connection. Available audio, analytics and warning controls depend on the recorder, firmware, software and configuration.

Power planning: Each camera can draw up to 18W over PoE+. At maximum consumption, 4 cameras require 72W, 8 require 144W and 16 require 288W. Channel capacity does not guarantee sufficient built-in PoE power for every camera at maximum demand. Check the supplied recorder’s total PoE budget; additional correctly rated PoE+ equipment or suitable separate camera power may be required and is sold separately.
Storage selection: Only the selected HDD option is included. Two drive bays do not mean two hard drives are supplied. Recording duration and available analytics depend on the recorder, firmware and settings.

Installation & Compatibility
Connect the cameras using the supplied CAT5 cables and compatible IEEE 802.3at PoE+ connections. Check both individual port capability and total power budget before installing multiple cameras. If an additional network PoE+ switch is used, the recorder’s maximum camera-channel limit still applies.
Connect a compatible monitor using the supplied HDMI cable, then activate the system and configure recording, detection areas, audio and warning settings. Remote access requires an internet connection and suitable Hik-Connect configuration.
Keep the recorder indoors in a dry, ventilated location. IP67 protection applies to the camera housings; outdoor cable connections and entries must be properly protected against moisture. The cameras have manual aiming adjustment and fixed lenses.
Complete Your Installation
Add the Uniview MW3222-V-DT monitor for local live viewing and playback, or select a Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM21 back base for your mounting arrangement. The monitor and back bases are sold separately.
