Hikvision DS-2CD3688G2T-LIZS 8MP Smart Dual-Light Varifocal Bullet Camera

Why Buyers Choose This Model

• 8 MP resolution — gives you sharper footage and more usable detail, so when something happens you have a better chance of reviewing faces, clothing, vehicles, and scene activity without feeling like the image falls apart when it matters most.
• Motorized 2.7 to 13.5 mm varifocal lens — lets you adjust the field of view during setup, which helps you dial in the scene more precisely and avoid the frustration of ordering a fixed-lens camera that is either too wide or too tight for the job.
• Smart Dual-Light with up to 60 m range — helps you hold onto clearer nighttime coverage, giving you more confidence that the scene stays visible after dark instead of turning into a blur of shadows and guesswork.
• 120 dB WDR — improves visibility in harsh backlight, which matters at entrances, overhead doors, loading docks, and other spots where bright light can wash out the very details you are trying to capture.
• Deep-learning human and vehicle classification — helps the camera pay attention to the motion you actually care about, which can save time, reduce nuisance alerts, and make footage review far less draining.
• H.265+ compression — helps reduce bandwidth and storage pressure, which means you can keep strong image quality without feeling like every camera upgrade creates a new storage problem.
• microSD support up to 512 GB — gives you local edge recording flexibility, which can be useful for backup recording or for installations where you want another layer of retention at the camera itself.
• PoE support — simplifies installation by reducing cable clutter and making deployment cleaner, faster, and easier to manage in real-world jobs.
• IP67 and IK10 protection with metal construction — gives you a tougher outdoor camera that is built for weather exposure and vandal resistance, so you are not buying something that only looks good on paper but struggles in the field.
• Face capture and people counting — adds extra intelligence for sites that need more than basic video, helping security and operations teams get more value from a single device.
