Hikvision 4K ColorVu AcuSense 16-Channel PoE Security Camera System
What would change if you could see important activity in vivid 4K color—even after dark—instead of trying to interpret a blurry black-and-white recording?
This system combines Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-LU 8 MP ColorVu cameras with the powerful DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16-channel PoE NVR.
Human and vehicle classification helps bring meaningful activity to your attention, while built-in microphones add audio context to recorded events.
With room for up to 16 cameras and two high-capacity hard drives, it gives you a surveillance platform that can expand as your security needs grow.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
When something happens around your property, how valuable would it be to have clear details instead of unanswered questions?
```8 MP 4K Detail — See More of What Matters
Each DS-2CD2087G2-LU camera records at up to 3840 × 2160 resolution, giving you detailed video that makes it easier to review people, vehicles, clothing, and activity around the property.
ColorVu Technology — Vivid Color Around the Clock
An F1.0 super-aperture lens, high-performance 1/1.2-inch sensor, and supplemental white light work together to produce colorful images in extremely low-light conditions. Instead of losing useful color information after dark, you can retain more visual context when reviewing an incident.
40-Meter White Light — Extended Low-Light Visibility
The camera’s white supplemental light reaches up to 40 meters, helping illuminate driveways, entrances, yards, parking areas, and other spaces where ordinary ambient light may not be enough.
Human and Vehicle Classification — Focus on Relevant Activity
Deep-learning classification allows the camera to distinguish human and vehicle targets during supported events. This helps you focus on activity that may deserve attention instead of treating every detected movement the same way.
Perimeter Protection — Know When Important Boundaries Are Crossed
Line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance, and region-exit detection help you monitor the areas that matter most. Would knowing when someone enters a defined driveway, doorway, or restricted space give you more control over how you protect the property?
Built-In Microphone — Add Context Beyond the Image
The DS-2CD2087G2-LU includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio security. Audio can provide additional context that video alone may not capture when you need to understand what occurred.
130 dB WDR — Clearer Images in Difficult Lighting
Strong sunlight, bright entrances, and deep shadows can hide important details. The camera’s 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range helps balance these challenging scenes so both bright and dark areas remain more useful.
16 Built-In PoE Ports — Simpler Camera Connections
The NVR provides 16 independent PoE ports that can carry power and data to compatible cameras through network cabling. This creates a cleaner installation while giving you room to expand the system to as many as 16 cameras.
Up to 32 MP Camera Support — Built for High-Resolution Surveillance
The recorder supports camera inputs with resolutions up to 32 MP, while the DS-2CD2087G2-LU cameras included with this system deliver 8 MP 4K video. You get detailed 4K coverage now without limiting the recorder to lower-resolution cameras.
256 Mbps Bandwidth — Manage Multiple Detailed Video Streams
Up to 256 Mbps of incoming and outgoing bandwidth gives the recorder the capacity required to manage multiple high-resolution camera streams across a larger surveillance installation.
8K HDMI Output — Review Footage on a High-Resolution Display
The NVR supports HDMI output at up to 7680 × 4320 at 30 Hz. This allows compatible monitors to display high-resolution live views and recorded video with exceptional clarity.
16-Channel Synchronous Playback — Review the Complete Situation
Instead of reviewing one camera at a time and trying to reconstruct the sequence later, you can play back as many as 16 channels simultaneously to see how an event moved across the property.
H.265+ Compression — Use Storage More Efficiently
H.265+ compression can reduce required storage space by up to 75% compared with conventional compression conditions described by the manufacturer. This helps you retain more footage without sacrificing the advantages of high-resolution recording.
Up to 32 TB Internal Storage — More Room for Recorded Evidence
Two SATA interfaces support hard drives with capacities of up to 16 TB each. With compatible drives installed, the recorder can provide up to 32 TB of internal storage for your surveillance footage.
Hik-Connect Support — Stay Connected Remotely
Hik-Connect support gives you a convenient way to access and manage the system remotely. Whether you are away from home or managing a business, you can remain connected to your surveillance system instead of wondering what is happening.
IP67 Metal Cameras — Dependable Outdoor Coverage
The cameras use metal front and rear housings with IP67 weather protection. Their operating range of -30°C to 60°C helps them handle demanding outdoor environments where indoor cameras would not be appropriate.
Local Camera Storage — Added Recording Flexibility
Each camera includes a memory-card slot supporting cards up to 512 GB. Automatic Network Replenishment can also help restore footage to compatible network storage following a temporary connection interruption.
Flexible Lens Choices — Match the View to the Location
Choose a 2.8 mm lens for wider coverage, a 4 mm lens for a more balanced view, or a 6 mm lens for a narrower view of more distant areas. The right option helps you cover the intended space instead of forcing one field of view into every location.
What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering that something happened overnight, only to find footage that is too dark, too soft, or missing the color details you needed. Then consider the added frustration of searching through constant motion events caused by activity that had nothing to do with a person or vehicle.
```- Struggling to interpret low-detail or black-and-white nighttime footage
- Losing useful color information that could help explain an event
- Treating every movement as equally important
- Reviewing cameras individually when you need to understand a complete sequence
- Managing separate power connections for every compatible PoE camera
- Replacing the recorder simply because your property later needs additional cameras
- Running out of storage options as recording requirements increase
- Being away from the property without a supported remote-access option
Now picture the alternative: detailed 4K views, vivid nighttime color, audio context, intelligent human and vehicle classification, and synchronized playback from one expandable recorder.
The result is not merely more recorded video. It is a clearer and more manageable record of what happened, helping you move from uncertainty to informed action when an important event occurs.
```Is This the Right System for You?
If you want detailed surveillance without limiting yourself to a small recorder, this combination gives you 4K ColorVu imaging today and room for up to 16 cameras as your coverage needs change.
It is especially well suited to homes, retail locations, offices, parking areas, warehouses, and other properties where nighttime color, audio, and human or vehicle detection can make recorded footage more useful.
