4 MP Smart Hybrid Light with ColorVu Fixed Turret Network Camera

The specs, translated

• 4 MP (megapixels): the camera's picture resolution.
• 130 dB WDR (wide dynamic range, measured in decibels): keeps detail visible when strong back light, such as daylight behind a doorway, sits in the same frame as shadow.
• The lighting method called Smart Hybrid Light with ColorVu is said to offer long-distance coverage.
• Human and vehicle classification: deep-learning analysis that focuses on people and vehicles.
• H.265+: a compression format that reduces video file size, so footage takes up less drive space.
• IP67: water and dust resistant, so it suits an outdoor position.
• -U: a built-in microphone for real-time audio security.

What else the system needs

The 4 MP Smart Hybrid Light with ColorVu Fixed Turret Network Camera (DS-2CD2347G2H-LIU) is a network camera. It connects to an IP recorder or network video software, not to an analogue recorder.

Pick a recorder that supports H.265+ if you want the smaller files. Then size the drive: multiply the number of cameras by the days of footage you want to keep.

It is a fixed turret, so the view is set when you mount it. Decide where it will point before you drill. If you do not need sound at that spot, the -U microphone is a feature you will not use.
