Clear Images in Any Light
This 8MP PoE IP camera delivers 3840×2160 resolution — four times the detail of 1080p. The 120dB True WDR handles strong backlight, so you get clear images even with bright windows or direct sun. The Smart Hybrid Light uses IR LEDs for invisible monitoring most of the time, then switches to warm white light when motion is detected for full-color footage and active deterrence.
Smart Detection That Saves Time
Hikvision AcuSense technology processes video on-chip to distinguish people and vehicles from other motion. You get fewer false alarms from leaves, rain, or animals — only real threats trigger alerts. The camera also supports face detection, line crossing, and intrusion detection, making it a smart choice for residential and small business security.
Easy Installation, Reliable Operation
Powered by 12V DC or PoE (802.3af), this dome camera installs quickly with a single cable for both data and power. The built-in microphone captures audio in real time without extra hardware. With IP67 weatherproof rating and IK10 vandal-proof aluminum alloy housing, it survives rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -30°C to 60°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this camera good for outdoor night surveillance?
Yes. The Smart Hybrid Light provides IR night vision up to 30m for invisible monitoring, and switches to white light on motion for color footage. It's IP67 rated, so it handles rain and dust without issues.
Does this camera support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
Yes, it supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, so you can power it and transmit data over a single Ethernet cable. It also works with 12V DC if you prefer a separate power source.
Can I use this camera with a Hikvision NVR?
Yes, this is a genuine Hikvision camera, so it plugs and plays with Hikvision NVRs. It also supports ONVIF for compatibility with other brands.
Does the built-in microphone allow two-way talk?
No, the built-in microphone is listen-only. It captures audio in real time, but does not include a speaker. For two-way talk, you would need a model with a speaker or an external speaker.
How does AcuSense reduce false alarms?
AcuSense uses AI to classify humans and vehicles, ignoring motion from leaves, rain, animals, or passing headlights. You only get alerts for real threats, saving time reviewing footage.
