Surveillance Camera Hikvision DS-2CD2383G2-LI2U 2.8mm

The Hikvision DS-2CD2383G2-LI2U 2.8mm is an 8MP IP surveillance camera designed for reliable image capture in a variety of environments. Equipped with a 2.8mm wide-angle lens and advanced imaging sensor, the camera delivers high-resolution video suitable for detailed monitoring. It supports efficient H.265+ video compression and includes integrated IR illumination and low-light optimization to maintain clear footage day and night. The camera housing is weatherproof, allowing installation in both indoor and outdoor locations, and its network features enable remote viewing and event notification.

Advantages

This model offers high-resolution 8MP imaging combined with a 2.8mm lens for broad scene coverage, reducing the number of cameras required to monitor an area. H.265+ compression lowers storage needs and bandwidth consumption while preserving image detail. Built-in night vision and low-light algorithms ensure usable footage in poor lighting conditions. The weatherproof enclosure provides protection against rain and dust for outdoor deployments, and integrated motion detection supports event-based recording and alerts.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and outdoor area monitoring
• Indoor surveillance of retail, offices or corridors
• Parking lots and driveways
• Remote monitoring of entrances and public spaces

Key specifications

• Sensor resolution: 8 megapixels
• Lens: 2.8 mm fixed wide-angle lens
• Video compression: H.265+ (with backward-compatible codecs)
• Low-light performance: integrated IR illumination and enhanced low-light processing
• Network: IP camera with remote access capability
• Housing: weatherproof design suitable for outdoor use
• Motion detection: built-in motion-triggered event support

How to use

Choose an installation location that provides the desired field of view and mounting surface, considering the 2.8mm wide-angle lens for scene coverage. Mount the camera securely and connect to a PoE-enabled switch or provide appropriate power and network cabling. Configure the camera through the network interface or compatible management software to set resolution, compression (H.265+), exposure and motion detection parameters. Verify IR/night settings and test remote access to ensure live view and recording function correctly.

Usage recommendations

For optimal coverage, position the camera to take advantage of the wide-angle lens while avoiding direct exposure to strong light sources. Use H.265+ compression to reduce storage requirements and configure motion detection zones to minimize false alerts. Regularly check weather seals after outdoor installation and update firmware via the official management interface to maintain security and performance.
