Hikvision 8-Channel 4K AcuSense NVR System with 4MP ColorVu Cameras and Audio
What would change if you could see important activity around your property in color—even after dark—instead of trying to interpret grainy black-and-white footage? This Hikvision system combines 4MP ColorVu cameras, built-in microphones and AcuSense human and vehicle recognition to help you capture more useful evidence with fewer irrelevant motion events.
Eight integrated PoE ports simplify installation, while Hik-Connect support gives you a convenient way to access and manage the system remotely. With expandable storage, efficient H.265+ compression and room for up to eight cameras, it provides dependable protection that can grow with your property.
Why Buyers Choose This Model

24/7 ColorVu Imaging — Preserve the Details That Matter
The 4MP cameras use an F1.0 aperture, a high-performance sensor and white supplemental lighting to produce full-color images during the day and at night.
Instead of being left with monochrome footage, you have a better opportunity to see useful color details in clothing, vehicles and surrounding objects.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Recognition — Spend Less Time Reviewing False Alarms
Would it be useful if your recorder could help separate people and vehicles from ordinary movement? The NVR’s Motion Detection 2.0 provides human and vehicle recognition across all channels at 4MP, helping reduce distractions caused by irrelevant motion.
This allows you to focus your attention on activity that may actually require a closer look.
4MP Video Resolution — Capture Clearer Visual Evidence
Each camera records at up to 2560 × 1440 resolution, providing more image detail than standard 1080p video.
When something happens, clearer footage can make it easier to understand the event instead of being left with video that raises more questions than it answers.
Built-In Microphones — Add Context Beyond the Image
The DS-2CD1047G0-LUF(C) cameras include built-in microphones and environmental noise filtering.
When audio recording is legally permitted, synchronized video and sound can provide additional context that silent footage may miss.
Up to 30m White-Light Range — Maintain Color in Dark Areas
The cameras can use smart white supplemental lighting at distances of up to 30 meters to support full-color nighttime imaging.
This helps the system continue collecting useful visual details when surrounding light becomes limited or disappears completely.
Eight Built-In PoE Ports — Simplify Camera Installation
Each compatible camera can receive power and transmit video through a single Ethernet cable connected directly to the NVR.
This reduces the need for separate camera power adapters and gives you an organized foundation for a system of up to eight cameras.
Hik-Connect Support — Stay Connected When You Are Away
Would greater peace of mind come from knowing you can access your security system without being physically beside the recorder? Hik-Connect support provides convenient remote system access and network management when the NVR is properly connected and configured.
Whether you are at work or traveling, your surveillance system does not have to become something you can only check after returning.
4K HDMI Output — View Footage on a High-Resolution Display
The recorder provides HDMI output at up to 3840 × 2160, allowing compatible monitors and televisions to display the system interface and camera layouts at up to 4K resolution.
The individual supplied cameras record at 4MP, while the higher-resolution NVR output helps create a detailed local viewing experience.
Smart Search and Playback — Find Relevant Footage Faster
Smart Search lets you select an area within recorded video, while Smart Playback helps improve review efficiency.
Instead of manually watching hours of uneventful footage, you can narrow your investigation and reach the moments that deserve attention sooner.
H.265+ Compression — Make Better Use of Your Storage
H.265+ compression can reduce required storage space by up to 75%, depending on the recording scene and configuration.
This helps you retain more footage with available storage while reducing the pressure to increase hard-drive capacity unnecessarily.
Dual-HDD Capacity — Build the Recording Retention You Need
The NVR has two SATA interfaces, each supporting a hard drive of up to 16TB.
That gives you the flexibility to configure up to 32TB of raw storage capacity based on your camera count, recording schedule and desired retention period.
Eight-Channel Synchronous Playback — Review Multiple Perspectives
The recorder can play back all eight channels simultaneously.
This makes it easier to follow movement between camera locations and understand how an event developed across the property.
120dB Wide Dynamic Range — Handle Difficult Lighting
The cameras use 120dB wide dynamic range to balance scenes containing bright and dark areas.
This can produce more usable images near entrances, windows and other locations where strong backlighting might otherwise hide important details.
IP67 Outdoor Protection — Dependable Coverage in Exposed Areas
The aluminum-alloy cameras are rated IP67 for resistance to water and dust and can operate from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F).
You gain flexible placement around entrances, driveways, yards and exterior business areas without limiting your protection to indoor spaces.
Expandable Camera Compatibility — Adapt as Your Needs Change
The NVR accepts cameras at recording resolutions up to 12MP and provides 80Mbps of incoming bandwidth.
You can begin with the selected 4MP ColorVu configuration and maintain flexibility for compatible camera additions or upgrades, subject to the recorder’s channel, bandwidth and decoding limits.

What This Helps You Avoid
A basic surveillance system may appear adequate until an incident happens after dark, the footage lacks color, or repeated motion events make finding the important moment unnecessarily difficult. At that point, the real problem is not simply that an event occurred—it is that the system failed to give you the clarity and context you expected.
“`
- Wasting time searching through hours of routine movement
- Relying exclusively on black-and-white nighttime footage
- Missing useful audio context when recording is legally permitted
- Installing separate power connections for every PoE camera
- Running out of channels when additional coverage becomes necessary
- Being limited to checking the recorder only while on the property
- Replacing equipment prematurely because storage or expansion options are too limited
- Struggling to understand an event that moved between multiple camera views
With detailed 4MP video, full-color nighttime imaging, intelligent event classification and centralized PoE recording, this system helps turn surveillance footage into information you can actually use. The result is a clearer understanding of what happened, faster access to relevant evidence and greater confidence in the protection surrounding your home or business.

Important Configuration Information
The supplied datasheets confirm the capabilities of the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P(D) NVR and DS-2CD1047G0-LUF(C) camera. Camera quantity, lens option, hard-drive capacity, cables and other package contents depend on the selected lot and should be verified before purchase.
The camera is IP67-rated but does not have specialized anti-corrosion protection for demanding environments such as immediate coastlines, docks or chemical plants.
