Product Overview
For installations where a discreet dome profile is needed alongside consistent colour imaging around the clock, the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY delivers a 6MP fixed dome camera suited to ceiling and wall mounting across indoor and outdoor environments. Built around a 1/1.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor, this model resolves 3200 x 1800 pixels and uses ColorVu 3.0 technology to maintain full-colour imaging down to 0.0005 lux. The Smart Hybrid Light system switches between white light and IR as conditions demand, ensuring colour detail is retained in low ambient light without wasting illumination. Featuring a built-in microphone for audio capture, person and vehicle classification to reduce false alerts, and a choice of 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens to match the viewing angle required, this dome is built to handle entrances, retail floors, office corridors, and covered outdoor areas. An IP67 weather rating combined with IK10 vandal resistance means it stands up equally well ceiling-mounted indoors or mounted under an eave outside.
Key Capabilities
6MP 1/1.8″ CMOS Sensor
The large-format 1/1.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor captures 3200 x 1800 resolution, providing enough pixel density across entrances and open retail floors for clear subject detail in both still and moving footage.
ColorVu 3.0 Full-Colour Night Vision
ColorVu 3.0 maintains vivid colour imaging down to 0.0005 lux, meaning indoor scenes with minimal ambient light and dimly lit building entrances are captured in colour rather than switching to black-and-white IR footage.
Smart Hybrid Light
The Smart Hybrid Light system combines white light and IR illumination, allowing the camera to adapt its lighting mode based on the scene. This gives installers flexibility across different ceiling heights and ambient lighting conditions without additional fixtures.
IP67 and IK10 Rated Housing
The IP67 dust and water ingress rating makes this dome suitable for covered outdoor mounting, while the IK10 vandal resistance rating provides meaningful protection against impact in public-facing indoor locations such as corridors and lift lobbies.
Person and Vehicle Classification
Built-in person and vehicle classification filters motion events by target type, reducing false alerts triggered by trees, animals, or lighting changes. This keeps recorded events and notifications relevant to genuine activity at monitored locations.
Best For
- Retail Floor Coverage: The 2.8mm lens option provides a wide field of view suited to ceiling-mounted positions above retail floors, capturing customer movement and product areas in 6MP colour detail.
- Building Entrances and Lobbies: The IK10-rated dome housing resists impact in high-traffic public areas, and ColorVu 3.0 maintains colour imaging through varying entrance lighting conditions including low-level night-time illumination.
- Office Corridors and Internal Passageways: The low-profile dome form factor suits flush ceiling installation in corridors, with the 4mm lens providing a narrower field of view for focused coverage down a defined path.
- Covered Outdoor Areas: IP67 weather protection makes this dome practical for mounting under eaves, carport ceilings, or covered walkways where it can monitor outdoor approaches while remaining protected from rain and dust.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY
The DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY sits above standard 4MP and entry-level 6MP domes through its combination of a large 1/1.8″ sensor, ColorVu 3.0 imaging, and Smart Hybrid Light in a single IK10-rated housing. Where a basic dome would switch to greyscale IR at night, this model holds full colour at 0.0005 lux, giving investigators usable colour information from evening and low-light events. The person and vehicle classification layer means fewer irrelevant recordings compared to cameras using basic motion detection. The option to choose either a 2.8mm or 4mm fixed lens at the time of ordering means the same camera model covers both wide open-plan areas and focused corridor runs without requiring a different product range. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY suits installers who need a capable all-condition dome without stepping up to a more complex motorised or active deterrence model.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Selection – 2.8mm vs 4mm: Choose the 2.8mm variant when the camera will be ceiling-mounted at height over an open area such as a retail floor, foyer, or car park bay, where a wider horizontal angle is needed to cover the space. Choose the 4mm variant when the camera monitors a defined corridor, driveway approach, or building entrance where a narrower angle provides more subject detail at the target distance. The lens variant cannot be changed after purchase, so confirm the mounting height and required field of view before ordering.
Smart Hybrid Light Configuration: After installation, run a night-time test to confirm how the Smart Hybrid Light system is operating in your specific scene. White light produces colour footage but is visible to occupants, while IR is invisible and produces monochrome output. If the installation location benefits from visible illumination at night (such as a monitored entry point), configuring white light mode will maintain the full-colour output that ColorVu 3.0 provides. Adjust the mode to suit the privacy and lighting requirements of the site.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Stores
Ceiling-mounted above product aisles or point-of-sale areas, the 6MP resolution captures subject detail across the retail floor. The 2.8mm lens covers wider zones from standard ceiling heights, and ColorVu 3.0 maintains colour during early morning or late-night trading hours with low lighting.
Office and Corporate Premises
The low-profile dome housing suits flush ceiling installation in offices and meeting room corridors without drawing attention. Person and vehicle classification reduces alert noise in busy working environments, focusing recordings on relevant activity rather than ambient movement.
Building Entrances and Foyers
The IK10 vandal-resistant housing withstands impact in public-facing entry points. Scene-adaptive WDR handles the high-contrast lighting that is common at building entrances where bright outdoor light meets shaded interiors, maintaining usable footage across the frame.
Covered Outdoor Areas
IP67 weather protection makes this dome suitable for installation under carport ceilings, covered walkways, and building eaves. Smart Hybrid Light keeps coverage active after dark, with white light enabling full-colour output in monitored outdoor zones.
Lift Lobbies and Corridors
The compact dome profile fits ceiling-mounted positions in lift lobbies and internal corridors where space is limited. The 4mm lens option provides a focused field of view suited to defined passageways, and the built-in microphone captures audio context alongside video in these enclosed spaces.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: you need a 6MP dome with full-colour night vision, IK10 vandal resistance, and a built-in microphone for ceiling-mounted indoor or covered outdoor use, and the fixed 2.8mm or 4mm lens options suit your target viewing distance.
- Choose a different model if: your installation requires motorised zoom or varifocal adjustment after mounting to dial in the framing precisely. A fixed-lens dome locks in the field of view at installation, so sites where the ideal angle is uncertain before mounting would benefit from a varifocal lens model instead.
- Choose a different model if: the installation is fully exposed outdoors without an overhead cover. While this dome is IP67 rated, a bullet or turret camera with a sun shield may be more appropriate for positions subject to direct rainfall and extended UV exposure.
FAQs
- What does Smart Hybrid Light mean on the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY?
Smart Hybrid Light refers to the camera’s ability to use both white light and IR illumination, either together or independently, depending on the scene. White light supports the ColorVu 3.0 full-colour output in dark conditions, while IR provides invisible illumination when visible light is not appropriate. The mode can be configured to suit the installation environment and any privacy requirements at the site.
- Does this camera produce colour footage at night without any external lighting?
Yes. ColorVu 3.0 technology allows the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY to maintain full-colour imaging at illumination levels as low as 0.0005 lux. Combined with the Smart Hybrid Light system, the camera can activate its own white light to support colour capture even in complete darkness, down to 0 lux with the light engaged.
- Which lens variant should I order for a standard retail or office ceiling installation?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wider horizontal field of view and is generally better suited to ceiling-mounted positions above open areas such as retail floors, foyers, and open-plan offices. The 4mm lens delivers a narrower angle with more subject detail at distance, making it more appropriate for corridors, entry passages, and focused monitoring positions. The lens variant cannot be swapped after purchase, so confirm your mounting height and required coverage area before ordering.
- Is the DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, with some installation conditions to observe. The camera is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection and IK10 for impact resistance, making it suitable for covered outdoor positions such as under eaves, carport ceilings, and covered walkways. Cable entries must be correctly sealed to maintain the IP67 rating. Positions subject to direct rainfall without overhead cover may benefit from a bullet housing with an integrated sun shield instead.
- Does this variant have a built-in microphone?
Yes. The DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY specifically includes a built-in microphone for audio recording, which is confirmed by the product designation. This adds audio context to monitored events, which can be useful in reception areas, retail environments, and corridors. The product data confirms a built-in microphone for this variant; note that not all variants in this camera family carry a microphone.
- What video compression formats does this camera support, and does it help with storage?
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 video compression. Using H.265+ provides the most efficient compression of the available options, reducing both storage requirements and network bandwidth usage compared to H.264 while maintaining the 6MP image quality. Configuring H.265+ on compatible NVR systems is recommended to get the most from this camera’s resolution without excessive storage consumption. The DS-2CD2167G3-LIS2UY is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is compatible with Hikvision NVR platforms that support H.265+ decoding.
