Product Description
The DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF/SL is Hikvision's 8MP turret camera with Smart Hybrid Light — a dual illuminator combining infrared and white light on the same unit.
What the spec means in practice
- 8MP (3840 × 2160) — the 1/2.7" CMOS sensor captures enough detail for number plates or faces at reasonable range, not just wide overview.
- Smart Hybrid Light, up to 30m — the camera switches between IR (mono night view) and white light (colour night view) depending on what it detects, rather than running one fixed mode.
- Built-in microphone and speaker — two-way audio, so you can listen and talk through the camera itself; useful alongside the white-light deterrence.
- Human and vehicle detection — the onboard analytics engine filters out non-relevant motion, cutting alerts from blowing leaves or passing cats.
- H.265+ — compresses footage more efficiently than older codecs, easing storage and bandwidth demands.
Getting it running
Power comes via PoE (802.3af) or a 12V DC adapter — check your switch or NVR has a free PoE port and enough budget before adding this to an existing system. For standalone recording, it takes a microSD card up to 512GB. The housing carries an IP67 rating, so it's built for outdoor mounting. It works with Hikvision NVRs and other ONVIF-compatible platforms.
