Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY 6MP ColorVu Smart Hybrid Light Dome Camera 2.8mm — Full Colour Night Vision, Human & Vehicle Detection

The Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome is built for sites that need usable footage 24 hours a day. Where a standard camera drops to black-and-white after dark, ColorVu’s F1.0 super-aperture and high-performance 1/1.8″ sensor hold onto true colour — so you keep number plates, clothing and vehicle colours instead of grey silhouettes. It is a discreet, vandal-resistant dome that suits entrances, carparks and shopfronts equally well.

24/7 Full Colour Night Vision — Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu Dome

Full colour night vision is the reason most buyers choose this camera. The Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome pairs an F1.0 super-aperture with Smart Hybrid Light, so the scene stays bright and in colour even in near-darkness. You get faces and colours you can act on, not a washed-out monochrome image.

Smart Hybrid Light offers three modes: discreet infrared for low-key monitoring, continuous white light for unbroken 24/7 colour, or a hybrid mode where the white light flashes only when AI detects a person or vehicle. In that hybrid mode the white light is an event-triggered flash and a visible deterrent — not constant illumination — so select the continuous white-light mode wherever you want colour all night, every night.

Human & Vehicle Detection — Deep-Learning AI That Cuts False Alarms

The Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome runs on-camera deep-learning to classify people and vehicles and ignore everything else. Swaying branches, rain, possums and headlights sweeping a wall no longer trigger endless notifications — only a genuine person or vehicle does. You end up actually checking your alerts instead of muting the app after the first night.

Classification happens on the camera itself, so target detection works the same whether you record to a Hikvision NVR or a third-party ONVIF recorder. Perimeter functions — line crossing, intrusion and region entry — can each be tied to human or vehicle triggers, with motion-triggered recording, snapshot capture and email or surveillance-centre notification.

6MP Detail with Wide Dynamic Range — Sharp Faces in Backlit Scenes

At 3200×1800, the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome resolves enough detail to identify a face at a doorway or read a plate across a driveway, with room to digitally zoom into recorded footage after an incident. Six megapixels strikes the practical balance between identification detail and sensible storage and bandwidth for most sites.

On the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome, 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range keeps the bright and dark parts of a scene exposed at the same time — a face stepping in from a sunlit carpark, or a figure against a glass shopfront at night. Scene-adaptive WDR, HikAI-ISP noise reduction and EIS image stabilisation keep the picture clean and steady as the light changes.

Tough Weatherproof Dome — IP67, IK10 Vandal-Resistant & NEMA 4X

Built into an aluminium-alloy housing, the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome is sealed to IP67 against dust and heavy rain, rated IK10 against impact and tampering, and carries NEMA 4X corrosion resistance. It operates from -30°C to 60°C, holding up through Australian summers and frosty mornings alike.

That NEMA 4X rating sits at Hikvision’s moderate protection tier — a real step up on a non-rated outdoor camera, well suited to coastal areas within a couple of kilometres of the shore, plus general commercial and light-industrial sites. Power is single-cable PoE 802.3af, so it installs on any standard PoE switch or Hikvision NVR port with no PoE+ upgrade, and the onboard microSD slot takes up to 512GB for local backup if the network drops.

Where This Camera Earns Its Place Across Australia

🏠 Homes & driveways — Mounted under an eave or over a garage, the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome keeps the front of the property in full colour all night. Human and vehicle detection alerts you when someone walks up the drive, not every time a possum crosses the lawn.

🏪 Retail & small commercial — At a shop entrance or counter, the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome captures clear faces with 6MP detail and 130 dB WDR even against a bright glass storefront. The low-profile dome is harder to knock out of alignment than a bullet, and the arrayed microphone adds an audio record of any dispute at the till.

🏭 Warehouses & industrial sites — The Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome shrugs off dust, washdown and knocks with IK10 vandal resistance and IP67 sealing, while NEMA 4X corrosion resistance suits coastal and light-industrial yards. The wide 2.8mm view covers loading docks and aisle ends from a single mounting point.

🏢 Offices & commercial buildings — Covering lobbies, lifts and rear doors, the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome delivers full-colour night footage and on-camera AI that give security staff usable evidence and far fewer false call-outs after hours.

⚡ Electricians & security installers — Single-cable 802.3af PoE, an M16 fixed lens and standard Hikvision mounting accessories make for a fast, predictable install. For multi-camera jobs, the Project Supply Desk handles project pricing and bill-of-materials supply.

Both lens options share every feature of the Hikvision DS-2CD2167G3 6MP ColorVu dome — the only difference is coverage. Choose the wider 2.8mm for broad scenes, or the 4mm for reach down a longer, narrower view:
