User Manual
FAQ
What is ColorVu technology and how does it improve night vision?
ColorVu is Hikvision's proprietary technology that enables the camera to capture full-color video in low-light conditions without switching to black-and-white infrared mode. It uses a large aperture lens (f/1) and advanced sensor technology to maximize light capture, providing color imagery with enhanced detail during nighttime surveillance. This allows for better identification of clothing colors, vehicle details, and other visual information that would be lost in traditional infrared night vision.
What resolution does this camera support and what are the benefits of 8MP?
This camera supports up to 8-megapixel resolution with a maximum video resolution of 5120 x 1440. The 8MP capability provides significantly more detail than standard 1080p cameras, allowing for clearer identification of faces, license plates, and other important details at greater distances. The higher resolution also enables digital zoom without losing critical detail, making it ideal for applications where forensic review of recorded footage is important.
How does the 180° field of view benefit surveillance installations?
The 180° horizontal field of view provides panoramic coverage that can monitor large areas with a single camera. This reduces the number of cameras needed for comprehensive coverage, lowering both equipment and installation costs. The wide-angle perspective minimizes blind spots and provides continuous monitoring of expansive spaces like parking lots, warehouses, and building perimeters without requiring multiple cameras with overlapping fields of view.
What power options are available for this camera?
This camera supports both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and direct DC power input. The PoE capability allows the camera to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. For locations where PoE switches are not available, the camera can also be powered directly using a 12V DC power supply. This flexibility makes the camera suitable for both new installations and retrofits into existing infrastructure.
Is this camera suitable for extreme weather conditions?
Yes, this camera is designed for outdoor use in challenging environmental conditions. It features an IP67 rating, meaning it's completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The camera operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -22°F (-30°C) to 140°F (60°C) and handles humidity up to 95%. This makes it suitable for year-round outdoor installation in most climate zones.
What video compression formats does this camera support?
The camera supports multiple modern video compression formats including H.265+, H.264+, H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. The H.265+ and H.264+ formats are particularly efficient, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to standard H.264 compression while maintaining high image quality. This efficiency is important for surveillance systems with multiple cameras or limited network bandwidth, allowing for longer retention periods without requiring excessive storage capacity.
What storage is included?
The system includes Memory Card of storage for applications, files, and everyday business data.
