Key Capabilities
12MP Ultra High Definition
At 4608 x 2592 resolution on a 1/1.8″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with an F1.2 aperture, this camera captures the fine scene detail needed for reviewing vehicle movements, identifying persons and supporting digital zoom at perimeter distances.
Smart Hybrid Light Dual Illumination
Integrating both IR and white light modes into a single unit, Smart Hybrid Light provides up to 60m supplemental lighting range. The three switchable modes allow the installer to select the most appropriate night-time output for the specific scene, including full-colour white light for colour-critical areas.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.7-13.5mm motorised varifocal lens spans a horizontal field of view from 102° down to 44°, allowing the installer to frame the scene from the NVR interface during commissioning. This is particularly useful across varied perimeter approaches, long driveways and vehicle entry points where fixed lenses require guesswork.
Deep Learning Person and Vehicle Classification
AI-driven classification filters perimeter events by person and vehicle targets for line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting. This reduces alert noise from general motion triggers such as animals, vegetation or lighting changes, making event review more focused for commercial sites.
Active Strobe and Audio Alarm
A built-in active strobe light and audio alarm trigger on compatible perimeter events to provide an immediate on-site deterrence response. Combined with built-in dual microphones and a built-in speaker supporting two-way audio, the camera supports both automated and operator-initiated responses at the installation point.
Industrial-Grade Protection
IP67 weather resistance, IK10 vandal resistance and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection give this bullet camera the physical durability for fence lines, loading docks and exposed outdoor walls operating from -30°C to 60°C. The combination of all three ratings in a single unit reduces the need for additional protective housings.

Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: At 12MP with H.265+ compression, this camera will consume more storage and bandwidth than lower-resolution models. Before deployment, confirm your NVR supports 12MP channel recording, that your PoE switch or injector meets IEEE 802.3at Class 4 at up to 22W, and that the hard drive capacity and recording schedule are sized for the bitrate. Sites running 4 or more of these cameras at full resolution should plan NVR storage carefully.
Buyer Tip: The active strobe and audio alarm functions require compatible event configuration in the NVR or VMS. Confirm that the management platform supports AI event triggers linked to deterrence output actions before relying on automated deterrence at the installation. Manual two-way audio response through the built-in speaker and microphones is available separately through supported Hikvision interfaces.

Ideal Use Cases
Industrial Yard Perimeters
Mounted on warehouse walls or boundary poles, the bullet housing provides directional long-range coverage with Smart Hybrid Light up to 60m. Person and vehicle classification keeps perimeter alerts focused on relevant targets across large outdoor areas.
Vehicle Entry Gates
The motorised varifocal lens allows precise framing across vehicle lanes from wide angle to narrower tele during commissioning, while 12MP resolution supports detailed vehicle review. DORI tele detection reaches 79.2m, supporting early identification of approaching vehicles.
Loading Docks and Service Areas
The 130dB WDR manages the high-contrast lighting common at loading docks where bright overhead lights meet shadowed vehicle bays. Built-in two-way audio and audio alarm add an active response capability without requiring separate audio hardware at the location.
After-Hours Deterrence Zones
Active strobe and audio alarm functions triggered by perimeter intrusion or line crossing events make this camera suited to car parks, vacant lots and building exteriors where a visible deterrent response after hours is part of the security plan.
Coastal and Corrosive Environments
NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection combined with IP67 sealing and IK10 impact resistance extends the usable life of this camera in coastal installations, chemical storage areas or sites with exposure to moisture, salt air or cleaning agents.
Long Driveway and Approach Monitoring
Installed at the entrance to a long private or commercial driveway, the 2.7-13.5mm motorised varifocal lens can be tightened to the tele end to extend identification range, supported by the 60m supplemental light reach and face capture capability.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The site requires a 12MP outdoor bullet camera with motorised varifocal framing, Smart Hybrid Light dual illumination, AI person and vehicle classification, and built-in active deterrence including strobe and audio alarm from a single unit.
- Choose a fixed-lens model if: The mounting position and viewing angle are fixed and will not change after installation. A fixed-lens bullet camera at the same resolution will typically cost less where remote lens adjustment is not needed.
- Choose a turret or dome format if: The mounting location requires a lower-profile or ceiling-flush housing rather than the extended directional bullet body. Turret and dome formats can be less visually prominent on soffit or ceiling mounts.
- Check PoE switch class before ordering: This camera draws up to 22W via PoE IEEE 802.3at Class 4. Standard 802.3af switches at 15.4W will not power it correctly. Confirm switch or injector specifications before installation.
- Check NVR and storage capacity: 12MP recording at up to 20fps requires more storage capacity and bandwidth headroom than 4MP or 8MP cameras on the same NVR. Confirm channel licensing, codec support and drive size before commissioning.
FAQs
- What does the DeepinView designation mean for this camera?
DeepinView is Hikvision’s classification for cameras built around larger sensors with enhanced low-light performance. The DS-2CD36C7G3-LIZSU/SL(Y) uses a 1/1.8″ Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with an F1.2 aperture, which captures more light than smaller sensors at the same resolution class. This contributes to the 0.0008 Lux minimum illumination in colour mode and supports usable colour imaging in challenging outdoor lighting conditions. - How does Smart Hybrid Light differ from standard IR illumination?
Standard IR illumination produces monochrome night-time footage. Smart Hybrid Light integrates both IR and white light into the one camera, allowing the installer or system to select between IR-only for monochrome coverage, white light for full-colour night imaging, or a combined adaptive mode. This gives a single outdoor bullet camera the flexibility to match the night-time monitoring requirement of the specific site without needing separate supplemental lighting. - Is the motorised varifocal lens adjusted remotely or physically at the camera?
The 2.7-13.5mm motorised varifocal lens is adjusted remotely through a compatible Hikvision NVR or configuration interface. The installer does not need to physically access the lens or housing to change the zoom or focus, which simplifies commissioning at height or in difficult-to-reach mounting positions such as high perimeter walls or poles. - What PoE specification does this camera require?
The DS-2CD36C7G3-LIZSU/SL(Y) requires PoE IEEE 802.3at Class 4 at a maximum of 22W when powered by PoE. Standard 802.3af switches supply a maximum of 15.4W, which is insufficient. Confirm that the switch port or PoE injector is 802.3at rated before deployment. Alternatively, the camera can be powered by 12VDC at up to 18W using a separate power supply. - Does the active strobe and audio alarm trigger automatically?
Yes, when configured with compatible AI event rules such as intrusion or line crossing, the camera can automatically activate the strobe light and audio alarm when a classified person or vehicle target triggers the rule. Configuration is managed through the NVR or camera interface. Confirm that your NVR or VMS supports linking AI perimeter events to the camera’s deterrence output actions during setup. - Can this camera record to a local memory card without an NVR?
Yes. The camera includes a microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC slot supporting cards up to 512GB for local edge recording. This can function as standalone recording or as a backup to NVR-based recording. Card recording behaviour, such as overwrite settings and event-based capture, is configured through the camera’s interface or compatible software. - What AI detection events are supported?
The camera supports line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting, each with alarm filtering by person and vehicle target classification. Face capture is also supported. These functions help reduce the volume of irrelevant perimeter alerts triggered by general motion, making event-based monitoring more manageable for commercial and industrial sites. - What should I confirm before purchasing this camera?
Confirm that your NVR supports 12MP IP channel recording and has the correct firmware for compatibility with this model. Check that your PoE switch or injector meets IEEE 802.3at Class 4. Plan recording storage to accommodate 12MP bitrates across all channels. Verify the mounting position and lighting conditions suit the 2.7-13.5mm varifocal range and 60m illumination reach. Security Wholesalers supplies this model for Hikvision IP CCTV systems requiring high-resolution outdoor coverage with integrated deterrence.
