The Hikvision DS-2CD1027G3-LIU (2.8mm) represents the evolution of Hikvision's Value Series IP lineup. Traditional security cameras revert to grainy black-and-white infrared footage at night, stripping away vital identifying details like clothing color or vehicle paint. Powered by ColorVu 3.0 and Smart Hybrid Light architecture, the DS-2CD1027G3-LIU ensures your surveillance grid captures crisp, balanced, and colorful 1080p video alongside synchronized audio around the clock.
Expanded Key Features
Next-Gen ColorVu 3.0 & HikAI-ISP: Combines an ultra-large F1.0 aperture lens with a 1/2.8" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and HikAI-ISP noise reduction. It gathers four times more light than standard F2.0 cameras, delivering pristine 24/7 color imaging at a minimum illumination of 0.0005 Lux.
Smart Hybrid Light (30m IR & White Light): Choose between three flexible supplemental lighting modes up to 30 meters: 24/7 Full-Color mode, Infrared (B&W) mode, or Smart Mode. In Smart Mode, the camera stays in discreet IR mode and automatically activates its warm white LEDs when a person or vehicle enters the frame.
Motion Detection 3.0 (Person & Vehicle Classification): Intelligent deep-learning algorithms distinguish genuine human and vehicular movement from environmental triggers like rain, falling leaves, shifting shadows, or animals—drastically reducing false alarm notifications.
Expansive 2.8mm Wide-Angle Lens: Offers a broad 106° horizontal field of view (129° diagonal), making a single camera ideal for covering wide driveways, parking lots, warehouse loading bays, and building entrances.
Built-In Environmental Noise-Filtering Microphone: Record crystal-clear mono audio alongside your video stream. The integrated microphone captures ambient sound and conversations while filtering out background static for superior situational awareness.
120dB True WDR & 3D DNR: True 120dB Wide Dynamic Range balances extreme backlighting and harsh glare, while 3D Digital Noise Reduction keeps night footage sharp and grain-free.
Efficient H.265+ Compression & PoE Installation: H.265+ encoding slashes bandwidth and NVR hard drive storage requirements by up to 75% compared to H.264. Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) allows both power and data to run through a single Cat6 cable.
Why This Product Stands Out
The Hikvision DS-2CD1027G3-LIU stands out by upgrading standard 2MP surveillance with ColorVu 3.0 and HikAI-ISP processing. While older fixed-mode cameras force you to choose between constant night-time floodlights or black-and-white IR footage, this G3-series camera adapts dynamically to threats while adding high-clarity audio capture in an IP67-rated housing built to endure extreme heat, dust, and downpours.
