IP Cameras: PoE Network Cameras 2MP–8MP

This IP range covers 20 network cameras, mostly turret and bullet styles, built for PoE (Power over Ethernet) recorders. Resolutions run from 2MP up to 8MP, so image detail scales with how much you need to zoom in during playback.

What the specs mean

• Resolution (2MP–8MP): higher megapixel counts give more detail when you crop or zoom footage, but need more storage and network bandwidth.
• ColorVu / Smart Hybrid Light: several models use these Hikvision lighting features for colour footage in low light — check each listing for the exact spec before assuming behaviour across the whole range.
• Turret vs bullet body: turret cameras suit discreet indoor or eave mounting; bullet styles suit visible deterrent placement.
• Built-in mic: some models list audio capture, useful where audio evidence matters.

How to choose

• Match camera count and channels to your recorder's PoE port budget.
• Pick resolution based on how far you need to identify faces or plates, not just overall scene size.
• Check lens focal length listed per model — it decides field of view.
• Confirm your recorder supports the megapixel count and any audio feature before buying.

All cameras in this range are IP (network) type, distinct from analogue CCTV, and need a compatible NVR (network video recorder) or PoE switch to run.
