What This Helps You Avoid
Missed details. False alerts. Footage that looks fine until you actually need it. Many cameras promise performance but fall apart in low light, harsh lighting, or busy environments. This model is built to remove those frustrations—so you’re not second-guessing alerts, scrubbing unusable video, or explaining why the camera “didn’t catch it.” Instead, you get consistent clarity, smarter alerts, and confidence that your system is doing its job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This model is part of Hikvision’s ColorVu lineup and is designed to deliver full-color imaging even in very low-light environments. It uses a large 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with an F1.0 aperture lens, allowing more light to reach the sensor. When ambient light is insufficient, the built-in white light can illuminate the scene up to 30 meters. This helps preserve color details that are often lost with traditional infrared-only night cameras.
The camera captures video at a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, which is commonly referred to as 8 megapixels or 4K. This high resolution allows for finer details such as faces, clothing, and objects to be seen more clearly. Multiple resolution and frame rate options are available depending on system requirements. This flexibility helps balance image quality with bandwidth and storage usage.
Yes. The camera uses deep learning algorithms to classify targets as human or vehicle. This allows motion alarms to be filtered so they are triggered by relevant activity instead of things like rain or moving shadows. The system supports perimeter protection features such as line crossing and intrusion detection. These capabilities help reduce false alarms and improve event accuracy.
The built-in Smart Hybrid Light system supports both infrared and white light illumination. The effective illumination range is up to 30 meters. This allows the camera to maintain visibility and image clarity when there is little or no ambient light. The smart lighting adjusts automatically based on scene conditions.
Yes. The -SU variant includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. It supports multiple audio compression formats and configurable sampling rates. Audio recording can provide additional situational context alongside video footage. Use of audio features should always comply with local laws and regulations.
Yes. The camera is rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor environments. It also carries an IK10 rating, which indicates strong vandal resistance. The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy for durability. These protections make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where physical exposure is a concern.
The camera can be powered using 12 VDC or Power over Ethernet (PoE). It supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, Class 3, with a maximum power consumption of 9.5 W. PoE allows both power and data to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable. This can simplify installation and reduce wiring requirements.
Yes. The camera includes a built-in microSD card slot. It supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards with capacities up to 512 GB. This allows for local recording without requiring an external NVR in some use cases. The datasheet also notes support for memory card health detection and encryption when using compatible cards.
The camera supports H.265, H.264, H.265+, and H.264+ compression formats. These options help reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. Different streams can be configured with different codecs and resolutions. This makes the camera adaptable to a wide range of system designs.
According to the datasheet, this model has no specific anti-corrosion protection. It is best suited for environments where no special corrosion resistance is required. Typical applications include offices, retail spaces, schools, parking areas, and warehouses. It is not specifically designed for harsh coastal or chemical environments without additional protection.
