Description

Hikvision 4K 8MP Turbo HD CCTV Kit Overview

The Hikvision 4K 8MP Turbo HD CCTV Kit is a professional surveillance system available with up to 16 cameras, Hikvision AcuSense DVR options and optional storage up to 8TB.

This configurable wired security system uses genuine
Hikvision DS-2CE78U0T-LTS 8MP fixed turret cameras.
Each camera features a wide-angle 2.8mm lens, Smart Hybrid Light technology, a built-in microphone and speaker, and compatible two-way audio over coax.

The included Hikvision AcuSense DVR uses intelligent human and vehicle classification to help reduce unnecessary alerts caused by non-target movement. Live viewing, recorded playback and supported notifications can also be accessed remotely through the Hik-Connect app when the recorder is connected to the internet.

Suitable for homes, shops, offices, warehouses and other commercial premises, this flexible system can be configured for anything from a small entrance-monitoring setup to a complete 16-camera installation.

Configure your CCTV system:

  • Choose the number of Hikvision 8MP turret cameras required
  • Select a 4, 8 or 16-channel Hikvision AcuSense DVR
  • Choose optional surveillance storage up to 8TB
  • All cameras are supplied with a 2.8mm fixed wide-angle lens

What’s Included?

Your CCTV kit is assembled according to the camera quantity, DVR and storage options selected when ordering.

  • Selected quantity of genuine
    Hikvision DS-2CE78U0T-LTS 8MP turret cameras
  • Selected Hikvision 4, 8 or 16-channel AcuSense DVR
  • One 18m combined BNC video and power cable for each selected camera
  • Matched camera power supply or power-distribution equipment
  • 1 × HDMI cable for connecting the DVR to a compatible monitor or television

Recommended Junction Box

For a cleaner and more professional camera installation, we recommend using the genuine


Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-TR13 Junction Box

.

The junction box provides space for cable connections behind the camera and helps create a neater installation on suitable walls and ceilings.
Compatibility and installation suitability should be checked before ordering.

Why Choose This Hikvision CCTV Kit?

Crystal-Clear 8MP 4K Video

The Hikvision DS-2CE78U0T-LTS produces video at up to
3840 × 2160 resolution.
The increased image detail can make it easier to review faces, vehicles, clothing and activity around your property.

Smart Hybrid Light Technology

Smart Hybrid Light gives you a choice of infrared, white-light or intelligent lighting modes.
Infrared provides discreet monochrome monitoring, while white light enables colour imaging in darkness and visibly illuminates the monitored area.

The camera provides infrared and white-light illumination at distances of up to approximately 40 metres under suitable installation conditions.
Actual performance depends on the environment, mounting position, weather, reflective surfaces and available ambient light.

Built-In Two-Way Audio

Each camera includes a built-in microphone and 2W speaker, supporting compatible two-way communication through the same coaxial connection used for video.

This allows you to listen and speak through the system when it is correctly connected to a compatible Hikvision DVR and configured for remote access.
It can be useful for greeting visitors, providing instructions or verbally challenging unwanted activity.

AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection

Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep-learning algorithms to classify people and vehicles.
This helps reduce unwanted event notifications caused by movement such as foliage, changing light and other non-target activity.

Motion Detection 2.0

Motion Detection 2.0 helps classify recorded events as human or vehicle activity on supported analogue channels.
This can make event searches more useful and reduce the time required to review recorded footage.

Remote Viewing with Hik-Connect

Connect the DVR to a suitable broadband router and use the Hik-Connect app for compatible live viewing, recorded playback and supported notifications on smartphones and tablets.

Remote access depends on a suitable internet connection, correct network configuration, app compatibility and sufficient upload and download speed.

Efficient H.265 Pro+ Recording

H.265 Pro+ video compression helps reduce storage and bandwidth requirements compared with older compression formats.
Recording duration will depend on the number of cameras, selected resolution, frame rate, bitrate, motion activity and recording schedule.

Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

The cameras feature an IP67 weather-resistance rating, making them suitable for properly installed indoor and outdoor surveillance applications.

Expandable up to 16 Cameras

Choose the number of cameras required for your current installation and select a recorder with enough channels for the complete system.
A DVR with spare channels may also allow more cameras to be added later.

8MP CMOS Image Sensor

The camera uses a 4K CMOS image sensor and provides a maximum output resolution of 3840 × 2160.
The camera can output 8MP HDTVI video at up to 12.5fps in PAL mode.
The final recording frame rate is determined by the selected DVR, channel and recording configuration.

2.8mm Wide-Angle Fixed Lens

The 2.8mm fixed lens provides an approximate horizontal field of view of
113°, a vertical field of view of 62° and a diagonal field of view of 134°.

This wide field of view makes the camera well suited to general surveillance where broad coverage is more important than narrow long-distance identification.

Infrared and White-Light Illumination

The camera supports Smart, infrared and white-light illumination modes.
Both the infrared and white-light ranges are rated at up to approximately 40 metres under suitable conditions.

Built-In Microphone and Speaker

A built-in microphone records compatible audio through the coaxial connection, while the integrated 2W speaker enables supported two-way communication.

The specified microphone pickup and speaker range is up to approximately five metres under suitable conditions.
Echo cancellation, AI noise reduction and automatic gain control help improve communication quality.

Flexible Turret Adjustment

The turret camera design allows flexible positioning during installation, with 360° pan, up to 75° tilt and 360° rotation adjustment.

Image Enhancement

Digital WDR, backlight compensation, highlight compensation, Smart IR and digital noise reduction help improve image usability in challenging lighting conditions.

IP67 Weather Resistance

The IP67-rated housing protects the camera against dust and water when correctly installed, making it suitable for year-round indoor and outdoor use.

Does the camera support two-way audio?

Yes. The camera includes a built-in microphone and speaker and supports compatible two-way audio over coax when used with the DVRs offered in this kit.

Is this a ColorVu camera?

No. The DS-2CE78U0T-LTS is a Smart Hybrid Light camera.
It supports infrared and white-light illumination and can provide colour images using its white-light mode, but it should not be described as a ColorVu model.

Which DVR should I choose?

Choose a 4-channel DVR for up to four cameras, an 8-channel DVR for up to eight cameras, or a 16-channel DVR for up to sixteen cameras.
You may choose a larger DVR if you want spare channels for future expansion.

Can I add more cameras later?

Yes, provided the selected DVR has unused analogue camera inputs and the additional cameras are compatible with the recorder.

Does the kit include a hard drive?

A hard drive is included only when a storage option is selected.
The kit can be ordered without storage or with an available surveillance hard drive up to 8TB.

How long will the hard drive record?

Recording time depends on camera quantity, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, compression settings, motion activity and whether the system records continuously or only during events.

Are the cameras suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The cameras have an IP67 weather-resistance rating and are suitable for correctly installed indoor and outdoor applications.

Does the kit record full-frame-rate 4K video?

No. The cameras output 8MP HDTVI video at up to 12.5fps in PAL mode, while the DVRs encode 8MP recordings at up to 8fps.
A lower recording resolution may provide a higher frame rate where supported.

Can I use network cable instead of BNC cable?
