This range covers 8MP (8 megapixel) cameras. 8MP is also called 4K, which means an image of 3840 × 2160 pixels. That gives more detail when you zoom into recorded footage. The range includes turret and bullet cameras from Hikvision.
How to choose
- Lens: a 2.8mm lens gives a wide view, which suits a room or garden. The DS-2CD2H83G0-IZS has a motorised varifocal lens, so you can adjust the view without swapping the lens. The dual lens model stitches two images into one wide picture.
- Night vision: ColorVu models are built for colour images in low light. DarkFighter is Hikvision's low-light label. Smart Hybrid Light models add built-in lighting.
- Audio: some models have a microphone. Others list two way audio, so you can speak through the camera.
- Weather rating: IP67 means dust-tight and protected against short immersion in water. The DS-2CD2085G1-I carries it.
- Body style: turrets and bullets both suit walls and ceilings. Check the product page for mounting details.
What else you need
Most models here are PoE (Power over Ethernet) IP cameras. One network cable carries data and power. You need a PoE switch or recorder with enough ports and power budget. The mini bullet is PoC (Power over Coax), so it needs matching PoC equipment. 4K footage also fills drives faster, so size your storage to suit.
8MP — frequently asked questions
Is 8MP the same as 4K?
Yes. 8MP cameras record at 3840 × 2160 pixels, which is commonly called 4K.
What does PoE mean for an 8MP camera?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) sends power and video over one network cable. Your switch or recorder must supply enough power for every camera.
What is the difference between fixed and varifocal lenses?
A fixed lens, such as 2.8mm, has one set field of view. A motorised varifocal lens lets you change the view after installation.
