Crystal-Clear Imaging in Any Light
This Hikvision dome camera delivers 8MP Ultra HD resolution (3840 × 2160) for sharp, detailed footage. The 120dB True WDR handles challenging backlight — you get clear images even when bright sunlight streams through windows or doorways.

Smart Detection That Saves You Time
AcuSense AI technology classifies humans and vehicles directly on the camera. You stop wasting hours reviewing false alerts from swaying trees, passing cars, or stray animals. Only real threats trigger notifications, so you can respond faster and focus on what matters.
Built-In Audio and Smart Lighting
A built-in microphone captures real-time audio alongside video — no extra hardware needed. The Smart Hybrid Light automatically switches between invisible IR and warm white light when motion is detected. You get discreet monitoring most of the time and clear color footage when it counts.
Built Tough for Outdoor Installations
Rated IP67 and IK10, this camera withstands rain, dust, and physical impact. Install it in parking lots, warehouses, or building perimeters without worrying about weather damage. The dome form factor makes it discreet yet durable for commercial and residential use.
