§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD2787G2HT-LIZS is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2787G2HT-LIZS is an 8MP 4K motorised varifocal dome camera with ColorVu and Smart Hybrid Light, built to deliver clear, full-colour footage day and night.

The hybrid lighting stays on discreet infrared until a person or vehicle is detected, then switches to white light to capture vivid colour detail.

Its 2.8-12mm motorised lens lets you set the exact field of view remotely, while 130 dB WDR keeps images clear against strong backlight.

Housed in an IP67, IK10 vandal-resistant dome and powered over PoE or 12V DC, it installs easily outdoors across Australia.
