CCTV Kits

These Hikvision analogue CCTV kits pair turret cameras with an AcuSense DVR, in 2MP, 5MP and 4K versions with either 2 or 4 cameras. The 2MP and 5MP kits use turrets with built-in audio, and the 4K kits use 8MP turrets with Smart EXIR night vision up to 60 m. The cameras in every kit have a 2.8 mm lens and IP67 weatherproofing.

Choosing CCTV Kits

Choose the resolution first, then the number of cameras, and plan the coax and power runs.

2MP kits

The 2MP kits come with 2 or 4 Full HD 1080p turrets. Their cameras have a built-in microphone with audio over coax, a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens, night vision up to 40 m and TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS output, and in the two-camera kit the lens covers around 106° horizontally. The AcuSense hybrid DVR filters motion alerts to people and vehicles, compresses with H.265 Pro+, has HDMI and VGA outputs and takes a single SATA drive of up to 10 TB.

5MP kits

The 5MP kits pair 2 or 4 fixed-lens 5 MP turret cameras with built-in audio and a 4-channel AcuSense hybrid DVR. They suit homeowners, shopkeepers, offices, workshops and light-industrial sites that want dependable security without the complexity of a fully managed cloud system. Both 5MP kits are designed to be easy to expand and are built for faster incident searches.

4K kits

The 4K kits use 2 or 4 8MP turrets with a 2.8 mm lens, Smart EXIR infrared up to 60 m and an IP67 rating, recording on a 4-channel AcuSense DVR that focuses alerts on people and vehicles, with H.265 Pro+ and up to 10 TB of storage. Both are analogue kits: the two-camera kit gives 4K without the complexity of a full IP system, and the four-camera kit gives 4K without changing your wiring. The four-camera kit runs coax/BNC video cabling and 12 VDC power to each camera.

What comes in a Hikvision CCTV kit?

Hikvision turret cameras, 2 or 4 of them, and an AcuSense DVR that records them.

The cameras are 2MP, 5MP or 8MP 4K turrets.
