Technical Specifications
Detailed Features & Benefits
8MP 4K Ultra HD Surveillance
The Hikvision DS-2CD3687G3-LIZSUY/SL captures high-resolution video at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels.
Its 8MP resolution provides detailed security footage for monitoring commercial buildings, driveways, warehouses, car parks and perimeter areas.
The camera supports up to 25fps at full 8MP resolution in Australian 50Hz mode.
Advanced ColorVu Imaging Technology
The camera incorporates Hikvision's advanced colour imaging technology to improve image quality in challenging lighting conditions.
Its high-performance image sensor, large-aperture lens and supplementary lighting system work together to support detailed security monitoring throughout the day and night.
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light Performance
The DS-2CD3687G3-LIZSUY/SL features DarkFighter 2.0 imaging technology.
Combined with its F1.2 aperture, the camera is designed to capture more available light and improve image visibility in low-light environments.
HIK AI-ISP Image Processing
Hikvision HIK AI-ISP technology provides advanced image processing and noise reduction.
This helps improve image clarity and preserve useful security details in challenging scenes.
2.7–13.5mm Motorised Varifocal Lens
The camera features a 2.7–13.5mm motorised varifocal lens that allows the field of view to be adjusted remotely.
At the wide end, the camera provides approximately 112.3° horizontal coverage.
At the telephoto end, the horizontal viewing angle narrows to approximately 41.2°.
This flexibility allows installers to refine the monitored area without manually changing the lens focal length.
Smart Hybrid Light Technology
Hikvision Smart Hybrid Light combines infrared and white-light illumination within one camera.
The system provides three supplementary lighting modes, allowing the camera to use different lighting strategies according to its configuration.
The maximum specified supplementary illumination range is 60 metres.
Infrared Night Vision
The camera includes integrated infrared illumination for night-time surveillance.
Infrared operation allows the camera to capture black-and-white footage when ambient light is insufficient.
White-Light Colour Monitoring
The integrated white-light illumination can support colour imaging in dark environments.
Actual night-time colour performance depends on lighting mode, installation conditions and available light.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
The camera features 130dB Wide Dynamic Range to help maintain image detail in scenes containing both bright and dark areas.
This is particularly useful for entrances, loading docks, shopfronts and locations exposed to strong backlighting.
Hikvision AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses deep-learning algorithms to classify human and vehicle targets.
This helps distinguish relevant security events from unrelated movement.
AcuSense classification is particularly useful for driveways, entrances, car parks and building perimeter monitoring.
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The camera supports intelligent perimeter monitoring functions including line crossing and intrusion detection.
Human and vehicle classification helps improve the relevance of supported alerts.
Active Strobe Light Deterrence
The DS-2CD3687G3-LIZSUY/SL includes an integrated active strobe light.
The strobe can be linked to supported security events to provide a visible warning at the monitored location.
Built-In Audible Warning
The camera includes an integrated speaker for audible security warnings.
Compatible event settings can activate configured warning sounds when security conditions are met.
Dual Microphones and Two-Way Audio
The camera features an arrayed dual-microphone system for audio monitoring.
A built-in speaker supports two-way communication through compatible Hikvision systems.
Audio recording and communication must comply with applicable Australian privacy and surveillance regulations.
External Audio and Alarm Interfaces
The camera provides external audio input and output connections.
It also supports two alarm inputs and two alarm outputs for compatible security system integrations.
H.265+ Video Compression
Hikvision H.265+ compression helps reduce recording storage requirements and network bandwidth consumption when used with compatible equipment.
This supports efficient recording of high-resolution 8MP security footage.
Local microSD Recording
The camera includes a memory card slot supporting compatible microSD cards up to 512GB.
Local recording provides an additional storage option alongside compatible Hikvision NVR systems.
IP67 Weather Protection
The camera features IP67-rated protection against dust and water ingress.
This makes it suitable for properly installed indoor and outdoor security applications.
IK10 Vandal Resistance
The DS-2CD3687G3-LIZSUY/SL features IK10-rated impact resistance.
This provides additional protection for installations where the camera may be exposed to physical impact.
NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion Protection
The -Y version includes additional anti-corrosion protection meeting NEMA 4X requirements.
This provides enhanced environmental resistance compared with standard camera constructions.
Installation suitability should still be assessed according to local environmental conditions.
Professional PoE+ Connectivity
The camera supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ for power and network communication through compatible Ethernet infrastructure.
The selected PoE switch or NVR must provide sufficient power for the camera's operating requirements.
