Product Overview
For sites that need flexible framing without sacrificing night-time colour detail, the DS-2CD2767G2HT delivers 6MP Smart Hybrid Light surveillance in a vandal-resistant dome housing. Equipped with a 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens, the field of view can be adjusted remotely after installation, making it well suited to building entrances, retail ceilings, car park columns, and covered outdoor areas where getting the angle right from a ladder is impractical. Featuring Hikvision’s ColorVu Smart Hybrid Light technology, the camera uses an F1.0 Super Aperture sensor and automatically switches between infrared and warm white LED illumination depending on scene activity, capturing full-colour footage when it matters most. It also integrates AcuSense human and vehicle classification to reduce nuisance alerts. Built with IP67 weather resistance and IK10 vandal protection, this dome is designed to handle both exposed outdoor conditions and high-traffic indoor environments where physical durability is a priority.
Key Capabilities
Smart Hybrid Light Switching
The camera automatically transitions from infrared to warm white LED illumination when motion is detected. This means key events are recorded in full colour even in complete darkness, while reducing unnecessary light pollution during quiet periods.
Motorised Varifocal Lens
The 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens allows remote zoom and focus adjustment after the camera is mounted. This is particularly useful on ceiling or high-wall dome installations where physically repositioning the lens would require repeated access.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
AcuSense deep learning classifies moving objects as human or vehicle, filtering out triggers caused by animals, foliage, or weather. This reduces nuisance alerts and makes event search faster during playback review.
130dB Wide Dynamic Range
With 130dB WDR, the DS-2CD2767G2HT handles scenes with extreme contrast, such as building entrances with bright exterior light and a darker interior, maintaining detail across both zones simultaneously.
IP67 and IK10 Rated Housing
The dome housing carries both IP67 ingress protection for dust and water resistance and IK10 impact resistance. This combination suits outdoor soffit mounting, covered car parks, and indoor areas exposed to physical contact or cleaning equipment.
H.265+ Efficient Compression
H.265+ compression reduces the bandwidth and storage footprint compared to standard H.264 recording. For sites running multiple cameras or limited NVR storage, this keeps recording durations longer without sacrificing resolution.
Best For
- Building Entrances and Lobbies: The 130dB WDR handles the contrast between outdoor light and darker interior spaces at doorways, while the motorised lens lets the installer fine-tune coverage after mounting.
- Retail and Commercial Ceilings: The IK10 vandal-resistant dome housing suits exposed ceiling positions in retail environments, and AcuSense classification helps filter genuine incidents from routine customer activity.
- Covered Car Parks and Walkways: Smart Hybrid Light switching provides full-colour footage of movement events in low-light covered areas without leaving white light on continuously overnight.
- Perimeter Walls and Soffits: IP67 weather resistance combined with the motorised zoom makes this dome suited to exposed outdoor mounting positions where the exact focal length cannot be determined until after installation.
Why Choose the DS-2CD2767G2HT
The DS-2CD2767G2HT separates itself from standard fixed-lens dome cameras through the combination of a motorised varifocal lens and Smart Hybrid Light technology in a single IK10-rated housing. A basic dome at the same resolution locks you into a fixed field of view and typically relies on either IR-only or always-on white light. This model gives installers the flexibility to dial in the exact coverage zone remotely after mounting, and lets the camera decide at runtime whether infrared or white light is more appropriate based on detected motion. The AcuSense layer adds meaningful event filtering that makes alert management practical on sites with background movement. At 6MP with a 1/1.8″ sensor and F1.0 aperture, the image quality in low light is genuinely strong for a dome at this price point. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD2767G2HT is a well-specified choice for integrators and property owners who need installation flexibility alongside consistent night-time colour capture.
Buyer Decision Tips
Motorised Lens and Installation Height: The 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal range gives a wide angle at 2.8mm for broad corridor or ceiling coverage, narrowing to 12mm for tighter focal scenes such as a till area or entry point further from the camera. If your mounting height is above 4 metres or access after installation is difficult, the motorised adjustment is a practical advantage over a manual varifocal or fixed-lens dome. Confirm your NVR or VMS supports remote focus and zoom control via the camera’s web interface or SDK to take full advantage of this feature.
Smart Hybrid Light Mode vs Always-On White Light: In Smart Hybrid mode the camera runs on infrared by default and only activates white light when motion triggers are detected. This extends LED lifespan and avoids continuous illumination of outdoor areas overnight. If full-colour recording at all times is required rather than event-triggered colour, configure the camera to white light mode permanently, noting this will increase visible light output and reduce LED longevity compared to hybrid operation.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Ceilings
Ceiling-mounted dome installations in retail benefit from the IK10 housing and the ability to remotely adjust the 2.8-12mm varifocal lens to cover specific zones such as checkout areas or high-value product bays without remounting.
Commercial Building Entrances
Entrance doors and reception areas with high contrast between outdoor and indoor light are well served by the 130dB WDR, which maintains visible detail in both the bright exterior and darker entry zone within the same frame.
Covered and Multi-Level Car Parks
Smart Hybrid Light switching activates white LEDs only when motion is detected in low-light covered areas, providing full-colour event capture without leaving lights running all night. AcuSense filters vehicle activity from irrelevant triggers.
School and Campus Corridors
Long indoor corridors with ceiling mounting suit the IK10 vandal-resistant dome housing. The motorised varifocal lens can narrow the field of view to monitor the length of a corridor from a single mounting position rather than needing multiple fixed cameras.
Outdoor Perimeter and Soffit Mounting
The IP67 weatherproof rating handles direct exposure to rain and dust on eave, soffit, or wall mount positions. The motorised lens is useful where the installation point is fixed but the exact zoom level needs to be confirmed once the camera is in position.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation needs a vandal-resistant dome with a motorised varifocal lens for post-installation framing, combined with Smart Hybrid Light for event-triggered colour night vision and AcuSense alert filtering on a site with background movement.
- Choose a different model if: Your mounting position is fixed and the field of view is already confirmed, in which case a fixed-lens dome at the same resolution will cost less and deliver comparable image quality without the motorised mechanism. If you need active audio deterrence with a built-in speaker and siren, a fixed-lens dome or turret with built-in active deterrence features would be more appropriate, as this model includes only a built-in microphone.
FAQs
- What does Smart Hybrid Light actually do differently from a standard IR dome?
A standard IR dome uses infrared illumination at all times in low light, producing monochrome footage. The DS-2CD2767G2HT’s Smart Hybrid Light runs in IR mode by default but automatically switches to warm white LED illumination when a motion event is detected. This means triggered events are recorded in full colour while background periods remain in IR, balancing colour capture with reduced light pollution and extended LED life. - Can I adjust the zoom and focus of the motorised lens remotely without accessing the camera physically?
Yes. The 2.8-12mm motorised varifocal lens supports remote zoom and focus adjustment through the camera’s web interface or a compatible NVR. This is particularly useful for ceiling or high-wall dome installations where returning to the mounting point after cabling is impractical. Confirm your recording platform supports the camera’s remote focus function before relying on this during commissioning. - Is the IK10 rating sufficient for an outdoor or publicly accessible mounting position?
IK10 is the highest standardised impact resistance rating, indicating the housing can withstand a significant mechanical impact. Combined with IP67 weather resistance, the DS-2CD2767G2HT is rated for outdoor use and for locations where the dome may be subject to deliberate contact. For extreme elevated-risk environments, consider whether a recessed or junction box mount adds additional physical protection. - What is AcuSense and does it require a specific NVR to work?
AcuSense is Hikvision’s deep learning classification that distinguishes human and vehicle movement from other motion sources such as animals, swaying trees, or rain. The detection and classification processing occurs within the camera itself, so alert filtering is available even when the camera is viewed directly. Full integration of AcuSense search and event management typically requires a compatible Hikvision NVR or VMS, so confirm compatibility with your recording platform if you want to use smart search features. - What is the night vision range of the DS-2CD2767G2HT?
In Smart Light Mode the camera provides illumination coverage up to 30 metres. The actual effective range in a given scene will vary with reflectivity of surfaces, ambient light levels, and the focal length selected on the motorised lens. At the tele end of the zoom range, DORI detection distance extends to 216 metres under natural or artificial scene light, though active illumination remains at 30 metres. - Does this camera support two-way audio?
The DS-2CD2767G2HT includes a built-in microphone, confirming audio capture at the camera end. There is no built-in speaker confirmed for this model, so two-way audio is not supported out of the box. Audio from the microphone can be recorded and monitored through a compatible NVR or VMS, but voice announcements back through the camera are not available on this unit. - Where can I find the datasheet and install documentation for the DS-2CD2767G2HT?
The product datasheet and user manual are linked in the Additional Information section of this page. The DS-2CD2767G2HT is part of the Security Wholesalers range, and technical queries about compatibility, installation accessories, or NVR pairing can be directed to the Security Wholesalers team directly.
