Dome IP security camera Hikvision Pro Series DS-2CD2383G2-LI2U (2.8 mm) Outdoor 8 MP 3840×2160 Wired Ceiling/Wall Black

Hikvision Pro Series DS-2CD2383G2-LI2U is an outdoor dome IP security camera offering 8 MP (3840×2160) resolution with a fixed 2.8 mm lens. Designed for wired Ethernet installations, the camera supports 30 fps video capture, a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor and a wide field of view (approximately 108° horizontal, 59° vertical). The device provides 360° mechanical rotation for flexible alignment and is supplied in a black weatherproof housing suitable for ceiling or wall mounting. Built-in illumination combines IR and white-light modes to maintain image quality across a range of lighting conditions.

Advantages

The camera delivers high-resolution imaging that helps retain detail for detection, observation and recognition at extended ranges. Integrated AcuSense deep-learning classification reduces false alarms by distinguishing humans and vehicles from other motion. Smart Hybrid Light merges infrared and white-light illumination for clearer night-time images while efficient H.265+ compression reduces bandwidth and storage demands. True WDR (120 dB) preserves usable detail in scenes with strong backlight. The IP67-rated housing and purpose-built mounting options support continuous outdoor operation.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and entrance monitoring for commercial properties
• Parking areas and access roads where vehicle and pedestrian detection is required
• Outdoor retail and public space surveillance
• Ceiling- or wall-mounted installations on buildings and facilities

How to use

Install the camera on a stable ceiling or wall surface using the included mounting hardware, orienting the lens to cover the desired field of view. Connect the device to a PoE-capable Ethernet switch or injector to provide power and network connectivity. Use a compatible Hikvision NVR or video management software to discover the camera on the network, perform basic configuration (date/time, resolution, and recording settings), and set detection zones and AcuSense parameters to tailor event triggers. Adjust illumination mode and audio settings as needed for the location.

Recommendations

Position the camera to avoid direct exposure to strong light sources to maximize WDR effectiveness and reduce glare. For reliable night-time performance, select an installation height and angle that keeps important scene elements within the specified detection and recognition ranges. Ensure the network and recording infrastructure support H.265+ streams to benefit from reduced bandwidth and storage usage. Regularly verify firmware updates and review AcuSense event settings to maintain detection accuracy.
