Advanced Camera Features
8MP 4K Ultra HD Video Quality
The Hikvision DS-2CD2183G2-LIS2U captures video at a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels.
This provides high-resolution footage for monitoring entrances, driveways, retail stores, warehouses and commercial properties.
At full 8MP resolution, the supplied specifications list a maximum main-stream frame rate of 20fps.
At supported lower resolutions, the camera can provide up to 30fps in 60Hz mode.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep-learning algorithms to help distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects.
Supported intelligent functions include:
- Human detection
- Vehicle detection
- Line crossing detection
- Intrusion detection
- Target-based motion event triggering
This helps improve the relevance of security alerts compared with basic motion detection alone.
Smart Hybrid Light Night Vision
The DS-2CD2183G2-LIS2U features Smart Hybrid Light, integrating infrared and white supplemental lighting.
The camera supports four supplemental lighting modes for different nighttime monitoring requirements.
Depending on configuration, the camera can use infrared illumination, white light or intelligent lighting behaviour.
The specified supplemental lighting range is up to 30 metres (98 feet).
Colour nighttime imaging depends on lighting conditions and the selected illumination mode.
2.8mm Wide-Angle Fixed Lens
This product features the 2.8mm fixed lens configuration.
Viewing angles include:
- Horizontal: 108°
- Vertical: 59°
- Diagonal: 127°
The wide-angle lens is suitable for monitoring entrances, storefronts, hallways, driveways and other areas requiring broad coverage.
Built-In Arrayed Dual Microphones
The DS-2CD2183G2-LIS2U includes two built-in microphones designed to capture environmental audio.
Supported audio features include:
- Arrayed dual-microphone audio capture
- Environmental noise filtering
- Multiple audio compression formats
- Audio recording with compatible recording configurations
Supported audio codecs include G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3 and AAC-LC.
Important: The built-in microphones provide audio capture. Two-way audio is not established for this specific model by the supplied specifications.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
The camera supports 120dB True WDR, helping improve image detail when bright and dark areas appear in the same scene.
This is particularly useful for:
- Store entrances
- Building lobbies
- Glass doorways
- Parking garage entrances
- Areas with strong backlighting
H.265+ Efficient Video Compression
Hikvision H.265+ technology helps reduce video storage and network bandwidth requirements while maintaining suitable image quality.
Supported main-stream compression formats include:
- H.265
- H.265+
- H.264
- H.264+
Actual storage savings depend on scene complexity, recording settings and system configuration.
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The camera supports intelligent perimeter events including:
Line Crossing Detection: Detects configured target types crossing a virtual line.
Intrusion Detection: Identifies specified human or vehicle targets entering a configured region.
These functions can help support security monitoring around building entrances, restricted areas and property boundaries.
Face Detection
The DS-2CD2183G2-LIS2U supports face detection events.
This feature detects faces in supported video scenes but should not be confused with facial recognition or identity matching.
Local MicroSD Storage Up to 512GB
The camera includes a built-in memory card slot supporting:
- microSD
- microSDHC
- microSDXC
Maximum supported capacity is 512GB.
The camera also supports network storage through compatible NAS configurations and Auto Network Replenishment (ANR).
Memory cards are sold separately unless explicitly included in a product bundle.
IP67 Weatherproof and IK10 Vandal-Resistant Design
The camera features:
- IP67 dust and water protection
- IK10 impact resistance
