Hikvision DS-2CD1327G3-LIU 2MP ColorVu IP Camera
The Hikvision DS-2CD1327G3-LIU is a 2MP ColorVu 3.0 fixed turret network camera designed for reliable 24/7 surveillance in homes, offices, shops, commercial buildings and outdoor areas. It combines a 1/2.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, F1.0 aperture and Smart Hybrid Light technology to provide clear and colorful images in challenging lighting conditions. Hikvision officially lists person and vehicle detection, H.265+ compression, built-in audio support, PoE connectivity and IP67 protection for this model.
2MP Full HD ColorVu 3.0 Imaging
The camera uses a 1/2.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and delivers a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. Its ColorVu 3.0 technology is designed for 24/7 colorful imaging, while the large F1.0 aperture improves light collection for low-light surveillance.
Hikvision specifies a minimum color illumination of 0.0005 Lux at F1.0 with AGC enabled, with 0 Lux when supplemental illumination is active. This allows the camera to maintain useful color information in very low-light environments.
Smart Hybrid Light for Night Surveillance
The DS-2CD1327G3-LIU features Smart Hybrid Light, combining IR and white-light illumination with a supplemental light range of up to 30 meters. The smart illumination system is designed to provide appropriate lighting according to the surveillance environment.
This makes the camera suitable for entrances, retail stores, homes, offices, warehouses, parking areas and other locations requiring continuous day-and-night monitoring.
Fixed Lens with Wide Viewing Angle
The camera is available with 2.8mm and 4mm fixed focal lens options. The 2.8mm lens provides a 106° horizontal field of view, while the 4mm lens provides an 88° horizontal field of view.
The official DORI specifications list detection distances of up to 44 meters with the 2.8mm lens and 53 meters with the 4mm lens, depending on the selected lens configuration.
Person and Vehicle Detection
The DS-2CD1327G3-LIU supports person and vehicle detection, helping surveillance systems distinguish human and vehicle targets from general motion. This can make security monitoring more relevant by reducing unnecessary motion-related events.
The camera also supports event functions and image features designed for practical security monitoring in residential and commercial installations.
H.265+ Video Compression
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 compression for the main stream, while the sub-stream supports H.265, H.264 and MJPEG. H.265+ can help reduce bandwidth and storage requirements compared with conventional video compression technologies.
The main stream supports up to 25fps at 50Hz or 30fps at 60Hz at 1920 × 1080 resolution. ROI encoding and scalable video coding are also supported for compatible H.264 and H.265 configurations.
Built-in Audio and PoE Connectivity
The DS-2CD1327G3-LIU supports mono audio and environmental noise filtering, with compatibility with several audio compression formats including G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3 and AAC-LC.
For networking, the camera uses a 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interface and supports IEEE 802.3af Class 3 PoE. PoE allows compatible network infrastructure to provide both data and power through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
IP67 Protection for Outdoor Installation
The DS-2CD1327G3-LIU is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for outdoor as well as indoor surveillance applications. Its turret design allows flexible positioning, with adjustment of pan 0°–360°, tilt 0°–75° and rotation 0°–360°.
The camera is designed to operate across a broad temperature range and can therefore be used in a variety of residential, retail, office and commercial environments.
