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 (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.
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.
