Exceptional Low-Light Performance with 1/1.8" Sensor

This Hikvision turret camera uses a large 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor that captures more light than standard sensors. The result is clear, usable video even in challenging low-light conditions — without relying solely on IR. Combined with a fast F1.0 aperture, it delivers strong low-light performance that helps you identify details when it matters most.

Hear What's Happening — Built-in Microphone

Unlike many security cameras that only record video, this model includes a built-in microphone for one-way audio monitoring. You can hear footsteps, voices, or glass breaking alongside the video feed — no extra hardware required. This real-time audio adds an extra layer of awareness to your surveillance system, especially useful for monitoring entry points or sensitive areas.

Smart Detection That Reduces False Alarms

Powered by Hikvision's AcuSense technology, this camera processes video on-chip to distinguish people and vehicles from other motion. It filters out false triggers from leaves blowing, rain, animals, or passing headlights — so you only get notified when a real threat is detected. This saves hours of reviewing useless footage and helps you respond faster to actual incidents.

Built for Outdoor Use — IP67 Weatherproof

Rated IP67, this turret camera is fully protected against dust ingress and water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C, making it suitable for year-round outdoor installation. The metal housing adds durability, and flexible power options (12V DC or PoE 802.3af) simplify wiring on any job site.
