Hikvision 4MP ColorVu 16-Channel PoE Security Camera System with Audio
What would it mean to see useful color details at night instead of trying to interpret a grainy black-and-white image after something happens?
This system combines DS-2CD1347G2-LUF 4MP ColorVu cameras with the DS-7616NI-Q2/16P(E) NVR, giving you centralized recording, built-in camera audio, human and vehicle detection, and remote access through Hik-Connect.
With 16 built-in PoE ports and room for two hard drives, it is designed to protect your property today while leaving space to expand your coverage later.
The result is a system that helps you see more, understand what triggered an event, and find important footage without unnecessary guesswork.
Why Buyers Choose This Model

24/7 ColorVu Imaging — See More Useful Details at Night
The cameras combine an F1.0 aperture, a high-performance image sensor, and white supplemental lighting to produce color images around the clock. This can make details such as clothing, vehicles, and objects easier to interpret when reviewing nighttime activity.
4MP Resolution — Review Events with Greater Clarity
Each camera records at up to 2560 × 1440 resolution. You receive more visual detail than standard 1080p video, helping you understand what occurred without relying on an unclear image.
Human and Vehicle Detection — Focus on Relevant Movement
The cameras can trigger motion events based on specified human and vehicle target types. Instead of treating every movement the same, the system helps bring attention to activity that may matter more to your property.
Built-In Microphone — Add Context Beyond the Image
The DS-2CD1347G2-LUF includes a built-in microphone with environmental noise filtering. Recorded mono audio can provide additional context, helping you better understand an interaction or event instead of relying on video alone.
120 dB WDR — Preserve Detail in Difficult Lighting
Entrances, garages, storefronts, and windows can create bright and dark areas in the same scene. The camera’s 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range helps balance strongly backlit images so important areas remain more visible.
Up to 30-Meter White Light — Extend Color Coverage After Dark
The integrated white supplemental light reaches up to 30 meters, or approximately 98 feet. Smart supplemental-light support helps the camera maintain usable color imaging when available ambient light is not enough.
16 Built-In PoE Ports — Simplify Installation and Expansion
The NVR provides 16 independent PoE interfaces that carry power and network data to compatible cameras. This creates a more organized installation while giving you capacity to add coverage as your security needs change.
Up to 160 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth — Manage Multiple Cameras Reliably
The recorder accepts up to 160 Mbps of incoming bandwidth. This gives the system the network capacity required to manage video from multiple connected IP cameras.
H.265+ Compression — Use Storage More Efficiently
H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75%, according to the supplied NVR datasheet. That means your available hard-drive space can be used more efficiently without abandoning recorded video quality.
Dual SATA Storage — Build the Recording Capacity You Need
The NVR supports two SATA hard drives with capacities of up to 8 TB each. This gives you room to configure storage around your number of cameras, recording settings, and desired retention period.
Smart Search and Playback — Reach Important Footage Faster
When an incident occurs, how much time could be lost searching through hours of ordinary video? Smart search and smart playback are designed to improve playback efficiency, helping you investigate events with less manual review.
4K HDMI Output — View the System on a High-Resolution Display
The recorder provides HDMI output at up to 4K resolution and can display through HDMI and VGA simultaneously. This makes it easier to monitor or review your cameras using compatible high-resolution displays.
Hik-Connect Support — Stay Connected When Away
Hik-Connect support allows convenient network-based system management. You can remain connected to your security system without having to be physically positioned in front of the recorder.
IP67 Protection — Dependable Indoor or Outdoor Coverage
The camera enclosure is resistant to water and dust under its IP67 rating. It also operates in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F), making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor installations.
Local Camera Storage — Add Another Recording Option
The DS-2CD1347G2-LUF includes a memory-card slot supporting microSD cards up to 512 GB. This provides an additional on-camera storage option when configured with a compatible card.
Flexible Lens Options — Match the View to the Location
Choose the 2.8 mm lens for a wider 96° horizontal field of view or the 4 mm lens for a narrower 75° view with greater DORI distances. This lets the camera’s perspective better match the area you need to protect.

What You Gain
- Color video around the clock for more informative nighttime footage.
- Visual and audio context when reviewing recorded incidents.
- Human and vehicle filtering for more relevant motion events.
- Centralized power, recording, playback, and camera management.
- Capacity for as many as 16 IP cameras as coverage requirements grow.
- Flexible local storage with two NVR hard-drive bays and camera microSD support.
- Remote connectivity through Hik-Connect.
- Weather-resistant cameras for suitable indoor and outdoor locations.
What This Helps You Avoid
A security system becomes far less useful when nighttime footage lacks color, bright entrances hide important details, or every ordinary movement creates another event to review.
Then, when something important happens, you may be left searching through hours of footage only to find that the image does not provide enough context.
This system addresses those problems with 24/7 ColorVu imaging, 120 dB WDR, recorded audio, human and vehicle detection, and smarter playback tools.
Instead of wondering what happened, you gain a clearer visual record, more relevant event information, and a practical way to monitor multiple areas from one expandable platform.
Important Model Information
The supplied recorder datasheet is for the DS-7616NI-Q2/16P(E), which supports recording resolutions up to 8 MP. It is not the DS-7616NI-I2/16P, and the supplied documentation does not support describing the recorder as a 12MP model.
The exact number of cameras and whether hard drives, memory cards, mounts, cables, or other accessories are included must be confirmed from the seller’s package contents.
