Hikvision 8MP Bullet vs 6MP Bullet vs 8MP Turret

vs Hikvision 6MP bullets: 8MP captures 33% more pixels at the same IR range. Choose 8MP for driveways and licence plate capture; 6MP for general fence-line perimeter at lower storage cost.

vs Hikvision 8MP turrets: same resolution; bullets have larger IR arrays (60m vs 30m typical) and visible deterrent profile. Choose bullet for outdoor perimeter at 20m+, turret for under-eave residential at shorter ranges.

Cross-brand: Dahua 8MP bullets offer TiOC active deterrence variants Hikvision does not match — choose Dahua HFW3849T1-AS-PV if siren + strobe matters at 4K bullet.

4K Detail at 60m IR Range
The DS-2CD2T86G2 series combines 3840×2160 resolution with 60-metre IR illumination — capturing licence plate detail at typical residential driveway distances and clear faces at fence-line ranges in night-time conditions.

ColorVu Available at 8MP
-LSU/SL ColorVu variants add F1.0 super-aperture lens and warm white LED for full-colour night vision down to 0.0005 lux. Useful where night-time clothing colour and vehicle paint identification matters more than IR-only black-and-white.

Motorised Varifocal -Z Variants
DS-2CD2H86G2 and similar -Z variants offer 2.7-13.5mm remote zoom adjustment from Hik-Connect or NVR. Ideal when the optimal field of view is uncertain at install or driveway lengths vary.
