The Hikvision 8MP 4K Ultra HD Dome Camera represents the pinnacle of analog CCTV technology. At 8 megapixel (3840×2160) resolution, this camera captures four times the detail of a standard 1080p camera — making face identification, number plate reading, and fine detail recognition possible even when zooming into a specific area of the recording.
ColorVu Technology is the most exciting feature. Unlike standard cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, ColorVu uses a large F1.0 aperture lens and a supplemental white light to capture full-colour footage 24/7 — even in near-complete darkness. This dramatically improves the evidential value of night-time footage where colour information (clothing, vehicle colour) is critical for identification.
The 40-metre white light range means your camera illuminates the scene naturally, with no obvious IR glow that can alert intruders to camera positions. The light intensity automatically adjusts to avoid overexposing nearby subjects.
For critical surveillance points — main entrance gates, cashier areas, bank entrances, ATM surrounds, or high-value storage areas — the 4K resolution provides the detail necessary to stand up in court or insurance claims.
In Kottayam's busy commercial areas, this camera is the choice for businesses that need definitive proof of incidents.
You need a 4K-compatible DVR (e.g., Hikvision iDS-7208HQHI-M2/FA or higher). Standard DVRs will work but cap the resolution at their maximum supported resolution.
Yes! The built-in white light LED illuminates the scene in complete darkness. The camera captures full-colour footage where regular cameras would show black-and-white.
For most home uses, 4MP is sufficient. 4K (8MP) is recommended for wide areas where you need to digitally zoom into specific parts of the footage, or for critical entry points.
Yes, modern DVRs support mixed resolutions. Each channel is configured independently.
The light is soft and directional. For sensitive locations, you can reduce the intensity or use smart supplement light mode that only activates during motion events.
