8MP IP Cameras – 4K ColorVu PoE Turret & Bullet
13 products in our Cameras range — trade-grade UK stock from CCTV Line.
8MP IP cameras: 4K resolution for detail-critical scenes
8MP (3840×2160, commonly marketed as 4K) IP cameras give roughly four times the pixel density of a standard 1080p/2MP sensor, which matters when a scene needs number-plate or facial detail across a wide field of view. This range covers turret and bullet formats, single- and dual-lens panoramic designs, and both standard PoE and PoC (power-over-coax) power options.
How to choose within this range
- Power method: most models are standard PoE; the Hikvision 4K ColorVu range here is PoC, for coax retrofits without new Cat5e runs.
- Low-light approach: ColorVu and Dual/Hybrid Light models (UKVISION, Hikvision) use supplementary illumination for colour-at-night; DarkFighter (Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I) relies on sensor sensitivity instead.
- Field of view: panoramic dual-lens options (Hikvision DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL, ANNKE I91DX) suit wide entrances and yards; fixed 2.8mm turrets suit standard coverage zones.
- Audio: built-in mic/audio is standard across most models in this range, useful where audible deterrence or evidence audio is required.
- NVR compatibility: the UKVision 8MP PoE bullet is listed as Hikvision-compatible, easing mixed-estate integration.
Fixed lens focal lengths are specified only where stated (2.8mm on two models); confirm coverage distance against the install brief before quoting.
8MP — frequently asked questions
What does 8MP mean for an IP camera?
8MP refers to the sensor resolution (3840×2160, marketed as 4K), giving finer image detail than 2MP/1080p at the same distance.
Are these cameras PoE or PoC powered?
Most models in this range are standard PoE; the Hikvision 4K ColorVu fixed turret cameras are PoC, running power and video over coax.
What's the difference between ColorVu and DarkFighter models here?
ColorVu and Dual/Hybrid Light models add supplementary illumination for colour night images, while the Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I DarkFighter model uses sensor sensitivity for low-light performance instead.
