§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS is an 8 MP ColorVu dome with a motorised PTRZ mechanism, designed to take the awkwardness out of aiming a camera.

PTRZ stands for pan, tilt, rotate and zoom, all driven by motors, so after the dome is on the wall you set the exact pan, tilt, image rotation and 2.8-12 mm zoom from the software.

There is no need to climb back up and physically adjust the gimbal, which makes it ideal for high or hard-to-reach mounting points on forecourts and large estates.

After dark it stays in colour.

ColorVu with a large F1.2 aperture captures full-colour images in very low light, and Smart Hybrid Light keeps discreet infrared on by default and switches to white light for full-colour footage up to 40 m when it detects a person or vehicle.

AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets so motion and perimeter rules - line crossing, intrusion, region entry and exit - stay focused on real activity, and the camera also captures faces.

A 130 dB WDR keeps detail against the harsh Australian sun and deep shadow.

One honest distinction so you choose the right product.

PTRZ is not the same as a speed dome (PTZ).

The motors are made for remote aiming during setup and the occasional repositioning, not for constant patrols or live auto-tracking, and the adjustment mechanism is rated for a limited number of cycles.

If you need a camera that pans and follows targets all day, choose a speed dome instead.

This camera also records audio only through a line-in connection - it has no built-in microphone or speaker - so it is not a talk-back camera.

Power it from PoE or 12 VDC and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR.

What the DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

40m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 40m, reaching further across a larger yard or laneway. Subjects appear in clear black-and-white, sharper and brighter as they get closer.

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS

Aim it from your desk

Motorised PTRZ sets pan, tilt, rotate and zoom remotely, so you frame high mounts without climbing back up.

Colour after dark

ColorVu with F1.2 and Smart Hybrid Light gives full-colour night footage up to 40 m on detection.

8 MP detail

A 4K sensor and 2.8-12 mm zoom let you set a wide overview or a tight reach for the scene.

Alerts that matter

AcuSense human and vehicle classification keeps motion and perimeter alarms on real threats.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

High or awkward mounts

Set the framing remotely on eaves, soffits and tall walls without a second visit.

Forecourts and driveways

Frame an entrance or forecourt precisely and keep vehicles and people in colour at night.

Large estates

Cover a wide approach in 8 MP with a zoom you can fine-tune from the office.

Commercial entrances

Watch a busy entry where the IK10 dome resists tampering and AcuSense filters false alarms.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the box

One DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS 8MP ColorVu PTRZ dome with mounting template and fixings. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable and any microSD card or junction box are supplied separately.

02

Installation requirements

Mount it on a wall, eave or ceiling over the area to cover and power it from a PoE switch or NVR or a 12 VDC supply. Connect the network, then set the pan, tilt, rotate and zoom and the Smart Hybrid Light and AcuSense rules remotely in the software, and add it to a Hikvision NVR for recording and event search.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS

Q.01

What does PTRZ mean on the DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS?

PTRZ stands for motorised pan, tilt, rotate and zoom. After the dome is mounted you set the exact pan, tilt, image rotation and 2.8 to 12 mm zoom remotely from the software, so you frame the shot without climbing back up to adjust the camera by hand.
Q.02

Is PTRZ the same as a PTZ speed dome?

No. PTRZ motors are designed for remote aiming during setup and occasional repositioning, not for constant patrols or live auto-tracking, and the mechanism is rated for a limited number of cycles. If you need a camera that pans and follows targets all day, choose a PTZ speed dome instead.
Q.03

Does it record in colour at night?

Yes. It is a ColorVu camera with an F1.2 aperture that holds colour in very low light, and Smart Hybrid Light switches to white light for full-colour footage up to 40 m when it detects a person or vehicle. By default it uses discreet infrared, so you get colour and deterrence when it matters.
Q.04

Does it tell people and vehicles apart from other movement?

Yes. AcuSense uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets, so motion alarms and perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion trigger on people and cars and ignore animals, rain and moving foliage. It also captures faces.
Q.05

Does it have two-way audio?

No. This base PTRZ model records audio only through a line-in input and has no built-in microphone or speaker, so it is not a talk-back camera. A different variant in the family adds a built-in mic and speaker, so check the model code if two-way audio is essential.
Q.06

How is it powered?

It runs on standard PoE or a 12 VDC supply, so you can power and network it over a single cable from a PoE NVR or switch, which suits high mounting points where running extra cabling is awkward.
Q.07

Is it suitable for outdoors?

Yes. It is rated IP66 against dust and heavy rain and IK10 against impact, so it stands up to the weather and to tampering on exposed walls, eaves and forecourts.
Q.08

Which recorder should I use with it?

Use a Hikvision AcuSense-compatible NVR so the human and vehicle event data and face captures are kept for faster searching. An 8-channel PoE NVR suits a small site; choose 16 channels for larger jobs.
