Clear Images Even in Harsh Backlight

Strong backlight ruins most security footage — not this one. The 120dB True WDR on this Hikvision dome camera captures every detail even when bright sunlight or headlights flood the scene. You get usable, identifiable footage in conditions where standard cameras produce silhouettes. That means fewer missed license plates and clearer facial details when it matters most.

AI That Filters Out False Alarms

Leaves blowing, rain, passing animals — traditional motion detection catches all of it. The AcuSense platform on this camera uses on-chip AI to distinguish people and vehicles from everything else. You only get notified when a real threat enters the scene. This saves hours of reviewing useless footage and ensures you respond fast to actual incidents.

Built for Outdoor Installation

This dome camera handles the elements. The IP67-rated housing survives rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -30°C to 60°C. The IK10 vandal-proof aluminum body resists impacts and tampering. Install it on a wall, ceiling, or pole — it keeps working year after year. Power it with 12V DC or PoE (802.3af) for flexible setup.

Flexible Audio and Storage Options

Connect external speakers and microphones through the audio I/O interface for two-way communication. The built-in microSD slot supports up to 512GB for weeks of local recording — no cloud subscription required. With H.265+ compression, you store more footage using less bandwidth and storage space.

FAQ

What does the AcuSense AI feature actually do?

AcuSense filters out false alarms by distinguishing humans and vehicles from other motion like leaves, rain, or animals. You only get alerts when a person or vehicle enters the monitored area.

Can I use this as a live home camera?

Absolutely. Connect it to your network via PoE and view live footage through the Hik-Connect mobile app. You can watch real-time video from anywhere, plus receive motion alerts on your phone.

What is 4K night vision quality like on this camera?

This camera delivers 8MP (3840x2160) resolution — true 4K clarity. At night, the 30m IR illumination combined with the 1/2.8" sensor produces detailed black-and-white footage you can actually identify people and vehicles from.

How does the 120dB WDR help in real-world situations?

If you mount this camera facing a bright entrance, window, or parking lot, WDR balances the exposure so you don't get blown-out highlights or dark silhouettes. Both bright and dark areas of the scene remain visible and identifiable.
