Hikvision DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) 4 MP Smart Dual Light Dome IP Camera

Hikvision DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) 4 MP Smart Dual Light Dome IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) is a cutting-edge 4 MP Smart Dual Light Dome IP Camera designed to deliver superior surveillance performance with advanced imaging, integrated microphone support, intelligent illumination, and rugged construction. Perfect for both residential and commercial use, this dome camera blends reliability, flexibility, and intelligence into a compact design.

High-Resolution Imaging

At the heart of the camera is a 1/3″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor that captures images at a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440 (4 MP). This ensures every detail is preserved, whether monitoring a wide area or focusing on specific objects.

The minimum illumination rating of 0.005 Lux (Color, F1.6, AGC ON) ensures excellent low-light performance. In complete darkness, the camera switches to black-and-white with IR lighting for clear night vision. The integrated IR-cut filter enables seamless day/night switching, ensuring consistent video quality around the clock.

The camera supports two lens options:

• 2.8 mm lens: Wide field of view (98° horizontal, 54° vertical) for broader coverage.
• 4 mm lens: Narrower field of view (78° horizontal, 42° vertical) for detailed monitoring of specific zones.

This makes it highly adaptable to different surveillance requirements, from wide-area observation to focused monitoring.

Smart Dual Light Technology

One of the key features of this camera is its dual-light design, which combines infrared (IR) and white light illumination.

• IR Mode: Provides discreet, long-range black-and-white imaging in complete darkness.
• White Light Mode: Delivers full-color imaging at night, enhancing detail recognition.
• Smart Mode: Automatically switches between IR and white light based on detected activity, ensuring efficient operation and proactive deterrence.

The illuminator range extends up to 30 meters, offering dependable nighttime surveillance for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Video Performance

The camera supports real-time video streaming with multiple resolution options:

• At 50 Hz: 20 fps (2560 × 1440) and 25 fps (1920 × 1080, 1280 × 720).
• At 60 Hz: 20 fps (2560 × 1440) and 24 fps (1920 × 1080, 1280 × 720).

For sub-streaming, frame rates of up to 25/24 fps are supported at resolutions as low as 640 × 360 for bandwidth optimization.

The DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) utilizes advanced video compression standards, including H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264, ensuring efficient storage without compromising quality. Bitrates range from 32 Kbps to 8 Mbps, with support for CBR and VBR to adapt to varying network conditions.

Additional video features include:

• 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): Handles challenging lighting scenarios.
• 3D DNR, BLC, HLC: Enhances clarity by reducing noise and compensating for difficult light conditions.
• Region of Interest (ROI): Allows prioritization of key areas within the field of view.

Integrated Audio Features

Built with a microphone, this camera supports mono audio with noise filtering, ensuring clear audio capture alongside video streams. Audio compression options include G.711, G.722.1, G.726, AAC-LC, MP2L2, and PCM, with bitrates ranging from 16 Kbps to 160 Kbps, allowing flexible configurations based on quality and bandwidth needs.

Event Detection & Security Features

The camera supports multiple event detection capabilities such as:

• Motion detection with human and vehicle classification to reduce false alarms.
• Video tampering alarms and exception monitoring for operational reliability.

Event linkage methods include FTP upload, email alerts, notifications to surveillance centers, local recording (-F model), and capture triggers.

Security measures include password protection, strong encryption, watermarking, and MAC address authentication, ensuring safe integration into security networks.

Network & Integration

The DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) is fully compatible with ONVIF (Profile S, T, and G for -F models), ISAPI, and SDK, ensuring integration with third-party systems. It supports up to 32 users with multiple access levels and simultaneous live views of up to 6 channels.

Users can access and manage the camera through the iVMS-4200 software or the Hik-Connect mobile application. Live viewing is available on IE browsers, while local services are accessible on Chrome (57+), Firefox (52+), and other modern browsers.

Rugged Build & Design

Built with a combination of metal and plastic materials, the camera is designed for durability. It features:

• IP67 weatherproof rating for outdoor use.
• IK08 vandal resistance, protecting it against physical impact.

Compact in size (Ø121.4 mm × 97.7 mm) and weighing approximately 550 g, the camera blends discreetly into various environments while maintaining robust performance.

The -F variant also includes onboard storage (microSD up to 512 GB), providing redundancy in case of network interruptions.

Power & Efficiency

The camera supports 12 VDC ± 25% power input and PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) for flexible deployment. Power consumption remains efficient, with 6 W max (DC) and 7.5 W max (PoE).

Compliance & Certifications

The DS-2CD1143G2-LIU(2.8mm) complies with major international standards and certifications for EMC, safety, and environmental protection, including FCC, CE, UL, BIS, RoHS, WEEE, and REACH.
