Product Overview
For commercial and industrial installations where a fixed lens cannot cover the full range of possible scene widths, the DS-2CD2667G2HT offers a practical answer. This outdoor bullet camera combines a 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens with 6MP resolution, allowing installers to tune the field of view remotely from a wide 108 degrees down to a focused 34 degrees without repositioning the housing. Featuring Smart Hybrid Light with both IR and white light modes, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, 130dB WDR, and a built-in microphone, it suits warehouse loading bays, commercial perimeters, driveways, retail access points, and car parks where both coverage flexibility and event clarity are priorities. Built with IP67 weather resistance and IK10 vandal resistance, it is designed for exposed outdoor mounting on walls, soffits, and brackets across demanding site conditions.
Key Capabilities
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.8-12mm motorised lens allows remote zoom and focus adjustment from wide scene coverage down to a tighter directional view. This is a significant advantage on sites such as loading docks, gates, and long driveways where the ideal framing cannot always be confirmed before the camera is mounted.
6MP Outdoor Resolution
At 3072 x 2048, the 6MP sensor captures scene detail suited to identifying individuals and vehicles at commercial entrances, warehouse exteriors, and perimeter access points. The larger sensor size of 1/1.8″ also contributes to low-light sensitivity in outdoor conditions.
Smart Hybrid Light
Smart Hybrid Light combines IR illumination for discreet night monitoring with white light activation for full-colour imaging when needed. In smart mode, the camera can switch lighting behaviour automatically when a human or vehicle is detected, supporting more useful night-time footage.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
AcuSense deep-learning classification filters out movement from animals, trees, rain, and shadows, focusing alerts specifically on people and vehicles. In busy outdoor environments such as car parks or perimeter zones, this makes event review and notification management far more focused.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
The 130dB WDR manages high-contrast scenes where bright sunlight and deep shadow occur in the same frame, such as undercover car parks, loading bay entrances, and gated access points. This helps maintain usable image detail across both bright and dark areas simultaneously.
IK10 and IP67 Outdoor Protection
The IP67-rated housing resists rain and dust in exposed outdoor locations, while the IK10 impact rating adds a level of physical durability for higher-risk mounting positions. This combination suits commercial perimeter walls, industrial yards, and entry points where the camera may be exposed to both weather and tampering risk.
Best For
- Warehouse and Industrial Sites: The motorised varifocal lens allows coverage to be tuned across large open areas, vehicle lanes, and loading zones after the camera is already fixed in position.
- Commercial Perimeters and Gates: AcuSense filtering and 60m IR make this a practical choice for boundary lines, side access paths, and entry gates where human and vehicle activity is the priority.
- Car Parks and Driveways: Smart Hybrid Light and 130dB WDR help maintain scene visibility across mixed-lighting conditions common in open-air parking and vehicle access areas.
- Installations with Uncertain Viewing Angles: Wherever the ideal focal length is difficult to predict before mounting, the remote motorised zoom gives installers control without needing to remount or reposition the camera body.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2667G2HT
The DS-2CD2667G2HT stands out from standard fixed-lens outdoor bullet cameras by combining a remotely adjustable 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens with a 1/1.8″ 6MP sensor, AcuSense classification, Smart Hybrid Light, and a 130dB WDR rating in a single IK10 and IP67-rated housing. A basic fixed-lens bullet at 2.8mm or 4mm cannot be refined after installation, meaning a poorly chosen angle stays that way. The motorised varifocal design avoids that limitation entirely. The addition of IK10 vandal resistance sets it apart from outdoor cameras rated to IP67 alone. Available at Security Wholesalers, this model suits installers and end users who need a long-term, adjustable, and physically durable outdoor camera solution for commercial and industrial environments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: If you are not certain whether a 2.8mm wide view or a tighter 6mm-plus focal length is needed for your site, the 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens on this camera means you can decide after installation. This is especially useful on long driveways, loading bay approaches, and commercial gates where the subject distance affects how much detail is captured.
Buyer Tip: This is a bullet-style camera with a visible housing profile, which works in its favour for deterrence-focused outdoor positions such as perimeter walls, fence lines, and loading dock entries. If a lower-profile appearance is needed for a soffit, eave, or residential application, a turret or dome form factor may be more appropriate for that specific location.

Ideal Use Cases
Warehouse Loading Bays
The motorised varifocal lens can be adjusted from a wide coverage view across the full bay to a tighter focus on roller doors, vehicle number plates, or pedestrian access points, without any physical repositioning of the camera.
Commercial Perimeter Walls
IK10 and IP67 protection makes this camera suitable for exposed perimeter mounting where both weather and physical impact are considerations. AcuSense filtering helps keep alerts focused on genuine human and vehicle activity along boundary lines.
Car Parks and Access Roads
130dB WDR manages the mixed lighting conditions common in car parks, particularly near entry barriers or undercover transitions. The tele end of the varifocal lens is useful for focusing on a specific vehicle lane or access control point.
Retail and Commercial Entrances
Smart Hybrid Light activates colour imaging when a person or vehicle is detected near the entrance at night, supporting more identifiable footage than IR-only cameras in the same position. The built-in microphone adds ambient audio context to recorded events.
Industrial Yard and Fence Line Monitoring
The 60m IR range and DORI tele detection distance of 216m make this camera suitable for longer outdoor viewing corridors such as fence lines, yard approaches, and side access paths where movement needs to be detected at a distance before it reaches critical areas.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 6MP outdoor bullet camera with remote motorised zoom control, Smart Hybrid Light, AcuSense human and vehicle filtering, IK10 vandal resistance, and built-in microphone audio, particularly where the final viewing angle is difficult to confirm before installation.
- Choose a fixed-lens bullet if: The viewing angle for your site is already confirmed and consistent, and you do not need the added cost or complexity of a motorised varifocal mechanism for a straightforward doorway or single-approach view.
- Choose a turret or dome camera if: A lower-profile housing is needed for a residential eave, soffit, or indoor-adjacent position where the visible bullet form factor is less appropriate for the mounting environment.
- Choose a varifocal design like this one if: The camera will be mounted at height or in a position that is difficult to access for future adjustments, since the motorised lens allows focus and zoom changes to be made remotely through compatible software after installation.
FAQs
- What does the motorised varifocal lens actually allow you to do on the DS-2CD2667G2HT?
The 2.8-12mm motorised lens lets an installer adjust both the zoom level and focus of the camera remotely, through compatible software, after the camera is physically mounted. This means the viewing angle can be narrowed or widened without touching the camera body, which is especially useful for high-mounted positions on warehouse walls, gate posts, or loading bay ceilings where physical access after installation is inconvenient. - What is the difference between the IR mode and the white light mode on this camera?
In IR mode, the camera uses infrared illumination that is invisible to the human eye, producing monochrome night footage. In white light mode, the camera activates a visible warm LED that illuminates the scene in colour. Smart Hybrid Light allows the camera to switch between these modes automatically, activating white light when a human or vehicle is detected, which can produce more identifiable colour footage for those specific events. - Is the DS-2CD2667G2HT suitable for mounting in fully exposed outdoor locations?
Yes. The camera carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance and an IK10 rating for impact resistance. IP67 means the housing can withstand sustained water exposure, making it suitable for exposed walls, eaves, and external mounting positions in Australian weather conditions. The IK10 rating provides additional durability against physical contact or tampering at the camera housing itself. - How far can the camera detect movement at night?
The IR illuminator supports a range of up to 60m. Using the DORI tele-mode specification, the camera can detect movement at up to 216m in daylight. At night with IR active, real-world detection range depends on the zoom position, scene reflectivity, ambient light levels, and subject size. The tele end of the lens increases the effective range for a narrower target area, while the wide end gives broader scene awareness at shorter distances. - Does AcuSense mean the camera will only notify me about people and vehicles?
AcuSense classification is designed to filter detection events so that alerts are tagged by target type, specifically humans and vehicles, rather than triggering on general motion from wind, rain, animals, or passing shadows. When configured on a compatible recorder or NVR, this allows event searches and push notifications to be filtered by target type, which makes reviewing footage from busy outdoor sites such as car parks or loading yards significantly more efficient. Security Wholesalers stocks compatible Hikvision recorders that support AcuSense-based filtering alongside this camera. - Does this camera support two-way audio?
No. The DS-2CD2667G2HT includes a built-in microphone for recording ambient audio alongside video, which adds contextual sound to event playback. It does not include a built-in speaker, so two-way voice communication is not a feature of this camera. The microphone is useful near loading docks, access points, and entry zones where recorded audio can support incident review. - What WDR rating does this camera have and why does it matter for outdoor use?
The DS-2CD2667G2HT is rated at 130dB WDR. This is relevant in scenes where bright areas and deep shadows appear in the same frame simultaneously, such as a car park entry where sunlight is behind a vehicle, or a doorway with bright exterior light and a darker interior behind it. The 130dB rating allows the camera to maintain usable detail across both extremes in a single image, rather than overexposing the bright areas or underexposing the dark ones.
