Hikvision DS-2CD1083G2-LIU 8MP Smart Hybrid Light PoE Bullet Camera

DS-2CD1083G2-LIU is Hikvision's 8MP fixed bullet with Smart Hybrid Light — spec it where full-colour evidential capture plus discreet IR monitoring is required on the same install.

Key specs

• Sensor/resolution: 8MP progressive scan CMOS, 3840 × 2160
• Lens: fixed 2.8mm, wide-angle FoV — general perimeter/entrance coverage, not a varifocal
• Illumination: Smart Hybrid Light, IR + white light, range up to 30m — switches to white light on motion trigger for colour ID, falls back to IR for covert night operation
• Audio: built-in mic for synced audio-with-video recording
• Compression: H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264 — H.265+ for bandwidth-constrained NVR channel budgets
• Power: PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 12V DC — standard PoE injector/switch port budgeting applies, no need for a dedicated high-PoE port
• Enclosure: IP67 — rated for external mounting, dust and jetting water ingress protection
• Image processing: WDR, 3D DNR, BLC, HLC

Compatibility

Integrates with Hikvision NVR systems and third-party ONVIF video management platforms — confirm ONVIF profile support against your VMS before spec'ing into a mixed-vendor system.

On the job

Single Cat5e/6 run covers power and data via 802.3af, cutting local power-supply runs on perimeter bullet positions. The 12V DC fallback covers sites without PoE infrastructure. Fixed 2.8mm focal length means field of view is set at install — plan camera position accordingly, no zoom adjustment on site.
