See Every Detail — Even in the Dark

The Hikvision TandemVu 8C uses dual 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensors to capture sharp 4MP video in both the panoramic and PTZ channels. With a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux in color mode, this camera keeps delivering clear footage long after the sun goes down. Whether you're monitoring a parking lot or a warehouse yard, you get reliable low-light performance without extra lighting costs.

Zoom In and Adjust Remotely

The motorized varifocal lens gives you remote control over zoom and focus. The PTZ channel offers a 6 to 252 mm focal length with a 42X optical zoom, so you can pull in distant details or widen the view — all from your smartphone or PC. No need to climb a ladder or physically adjust the camera. This flexibility makes installation faster and lets you fine-tune the coverage after mounting.

Handles Backlight and Extreme Weather

With 120dB True WDR, the TandemVu 8C captures clear images even when there's strong backlight — like a bright entrance behind a dark subject. The IP67-rated housing protects against rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -40°C to 70°C, so it's built for year-round outdoor use. Add IK10 vandal resistance, and this dome can take a hit and keep recording.

Smart Alerts That Actually Matter

Smart motion detection 4.0 filters out false alarms from leaves, rain, or animals. You only get alerts for people and vehicles crossing your defined zones. The camera also supports perimeter protection, line crossing, intrusion detection, and smart tracking — making it a solid choice for commercial or residential security. With H.265+ compression, you save bandwidth and storage without losing quality.
