Offering 8 MP (3840 x 2160) resolution and wired Ethernet connectivity, this white dome camera combines Hikvision ColorVu low-light imaging, Smart Hybrid Light and Motion Detection 2.0 to deliver clear daytime and enhanced low-light video while distinguishing people and vehicles from other motion.

Advantages

The camera provides high-quality 8 MP imaging with efficient H.265+ compression to reduce storage and bandwidth usage. On-board storage is supported via an SD card slot (up to 512 GB). Built-in microphone enables real-time audio monitoring. The device is weatherproof and vandal resistant (IP67, IK08), making it suitable for varied environments. Additional features include up to 30 m night vision (IR), a wide horizontal viewing angle (approximately 113°), and reliable wired network connectivity.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business indoor surveillance
• Outdoor perimeter monitoring under shelter or ceiling mounts
• Common areas such as lobbies, corridors and parking entrances

If local recording is needed, insert an SD card (up to 512 GB) into the on-board slot and format it through the camera interface.

Recommendations

For reliable detection and image quality, position the camera to cover the primary area of interest with minimal obstructions, keep firmware up to date, and use a stable wired network connection. Enable Smart Hybrid Light and ColorVu settings for improved low-light performance and activate human/vehicle detection to reduce false alarms.
