Designed for commercial sites that need adjustable coverage, detailed full-color video, and durable outdoor protection, the DS-2CD2787G3T-LIZSY combines 8MP ColorVu imaging, a 2.8–12 mm motorized varifocal lens, HikAI-ISP image processing, Smart Hybrid Light, and deep learning-based person and vehicle classification.
The motorized varifocal lens allows installers to remotely adjust the field of view from a wide 112.3° horizontal view to a narrower 41.2° view. This flexibility makes the camera suitable for entrances, parking areas, loading zones, building approaches, and other locations where final framing may need to be adjusted after installation.
ColorVu technology, an F1.2 aperture, HikAI-ISP noise reduction, and scene-adaptive 130 dB WDR help maintain useful image detail across low-light, backlit, and changing commercial environments. Smart Hybrid Light combines infrared and white light with three supplemental lighting modes and a range of up to 40 meters.
The camera also supports Audio I/O, alarm input and output, face capture, onboard microSD storage up to 512 GB, IEEE 802.3af PoE, and ONVIF Profile S/G/T integration. Its metal housing, IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance, and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection support demanding commercial installations.
Motorized Varifocal Coverage Benefits
- Remote Field-of-View Adjustment – The 2.8–12 mm motorized lens allows installers to fine-tune wide or narrow coverage without manually changing the lens.
- 8MP Full-Color Imaging – 3840 × 2160 resolution and ColorVu technology support detailed color monitoring around the clock.
- Advanced Image Processing – HikAI-ISP noise reduction and scene-adaptive 130 dB WDR help improve image usability in difficult lighting.
- Adaptive Night Illumination – Smart Hybrid Light combines IR and white light with three lighting modes and a range of up to 40 meters.
- Relevant Target Classification – Deep learning-based person and vehicle detection supports more focused perimeter events.
- Durable Outdoor Construction – IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings support exposed and moderately corrosive commercial environments.
