Product Overview
Combining motorised varifocal flexibility with dual-mode illumination and onboard AI, the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY is a premium 8 MP vandal dome camera built for demanding commercial and industrial outdoor environments. Featuring a 2.7-13.5 mm motorised lens, it enables remote framing adjustments across a wide range of coverage scenarios, from broad open perimeters to tightly framed entrance points, without any physical access to the camera. Equipped with Smart Hybrid Light, the camera switches automatically between infrared and white-light illumination to deliver clear imagery up to 40 m regardless of ambient conditions. Built on Hikvision’s HEOP AI platform with 1.5 TOPS of onboard processing, it supports human and vehicle classification, face capture, and intelligent perimeter detection at the edge. With 130 dB true WDR, H.265+ compression, IP67 weatherproofing, and IK10 vandal resistance, this model is suited to high-stakes sites including transport infrastructure, retail centres, industrial yards, and critical building perimeters.
Key Capabilities
8 MP 4K Resolution
At 3840 x 2160, the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY captures fine detail across wide scenes, supporting clear identification of faces, vehicles, and activity at distances where lower-resolution cameras would fall short. Forensic review and real-time monitoring both benefit from the increased pixel density.
Motorised Varifocal Lens 2.7-13.5 mm
Remote zoom and focus adjustment allows installers to dial in precise coverage for each site without physically repositioning the camera. The 5x optical range covers wide carpark overviews at the short end and tightly framed entrance or gate monitoring at the telephoto end, making it adaptable as site requirements evolve.
Smart Hybrid Light up to 40 m
The dual-light system blends IR and white-light output and switches between modes based on scene conditions. This delivers full-colour imaging when colour differentiation aids identification, and discreet IR when a lower-profile illumination approach is preferred, all within a 40 m effective range.
HEOP AI Platform (1.5 TOPS)
Hikvision’s embedded HEOP architecture processes deep-learning analytics at the edge, supporting human and vehicle classification, face capture, and perimeter intrusion detection. Onboard processing reduces bandwidth demand and enables accurate event-based alerts without relying solely on recorder-side analytics.
130 dB True WDR
In scenes where bright exterior light meets shadowed interior spaces, such as glass-fronted lobbies, covered loading bays, or building entrances, 130 dB WDR retains detail across both bright and dark zones simultaneously, avoiding the washed-out or blacked-out areas common at lower WDR ratings.
IP67 and IK10 Outdoor Protection
Full dust ingress protection and resistance to sustained water jets keep this camera operational in exposed outdoor positions. The IK10 vandal rating adds mechanical impact resistance, making the dome housing suitable for locations where deliberate interference or accidental contact is a genuine risk.
Best For
- Commercial Building Perimeters: The motorised varifocal lens allows precise framing of boundary lines, external walls, and wide property approaches, while Smart Hybrid Light maintains usable imagery at 40 m through the full night cycle.
- Transport Hubs and Infrastructure: IP67 and IK10 protection handle the exposure and vandal risk typical of stations, terminals, and publicly accessible walkways, while HEOP analytics support accurate classification of pedestrian and vehicle activity.
- Retail Entrances and Glass-Fronted Facades: The 130 dB WDR rating manages the high-contrast lighting conditions created when strong daylight meets indoor-lit reception areas or window-heavy storefronts, preserving face and clothing detail at entry and exit points.
- Industrial Sites and Logistics Yards: The rugged outdoor-rated dome profile and dual-light illumination make this model practical for warehouses, loading docks, and large open yards where fixed-lens cameras lack the targeting flexibility that motorised optics provide.
Why Choose the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY
The DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY is positioned above fixed-lens 8 MP dome cameras in situations where framing precision, AI-driven event filtering, and dual-mode illumination are all required in a single unit. A fixed-lens camera at a comparable resolution cannot be remotely re-aimed as site coverage requirements shift, and models without the HEOP AI platform require full reliance on recorder-side analytics, which adds processing load and may not match the accuracy of edge-based classification. The Smart Hybrid Light system removes the binary choice between a dedicated IR camera and a dedicated white-light model, adapting automatically to scene conditions across a 40 m range. Combined with 130 dB WDR on a 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, IK10 vandal resistance, and H.265+ compression for storage efficiency, this camera is a well-specified choice for sites where image quality and operational accuracy are non-negotiable. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY suits professional installations requiring long-term adaptability in both coverage and illumination.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lens Range Planning: At 2.7 mm the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY covers a wide scene suited to open areas and carpark overviews, while at 13.5 mm it frames a narrow, longer-distance view suited to gate entries and corridors. Before installation, confirm whether the mounting position and required coverage distance require wide, tele, or mid-range settings. This helps determine if the varifocal range is right for the application or if a fixed wide-angle lens at lower cost would do the same job.
AI Analytics and Recorder Compatibility: The HEOP platform enables edge-based human and vehicle classification and face capture directly within the camera. To make full use of event-triggered recording and search, confirm that the connected NVR or VMS supports HEOP-based smart event streams. Recorders without smart event support will still record video but will not benefit from the AI filtering that reduces unnecessary alerts.

Ideal Use Cases
Building Perimeter and Boundary Walls
The motorised varifocal lens frames specific sections of a perimeter with precision, while Smart Hybrid Light at 40 m ensures clear imaging well beyond what a standard IR dome achieves. HEOP perimeter detection adds intelligent alerts without depending on recorder-side processing.
Retail Centres and Shopfront Entrances
130 dB true WDR handles the bright-to-dark contrast typical of glass-fronted retail environments, preserving usable detail at entry and exit points. The compact dome profile is unobtrusive in customer-facing locations while still offering vandal-rated hardware protection.
Transport Terminals and Platforms
IK10 impact resistance and IP67 weatherproofing suit exposed transit environments where cameras face both physical contact risk and the elements. Human and vehicle classification through the HEOP platform supports accurate activity monitoring across busy public zones.
Industrial Yards and Loading Docks
Wide carpark-style coverage at 2.7 mm or targeted dock entry framing at 13.5 mm can be configured remotely. Smart Hybrid Light provides coloured or IR illumination through full darkness, and H.265+ compression reduces storage consumption on high-channel industrial NVR systems.
Critical Infrastructure and Government Sites
8 MP resolution combined with edge AI analytics and a ruggedised vandal dome form factor suits high-security applications where both image detail and event intelligence are requirements. The HEOP platform supports face capture and classification for access point monitoring at critical sites.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The installation requires 8 MP resolution with remote lens adjustment, dual-mode IR and white-light illumination, and edge-based AI analytics in a vandal-rated outdoor dome form factor. Sites with evolving coverage requirements or complex lighting conditions will benefit directly from the motorised varifocal range and 130 dB WDR.
- Choose a different model if: The mounting position is fixed and the required field of view is already known and stable. In that case, a fixed-focal-length dome at the same resolution will deliver equivalent image quality at a lower cost and without the motorised mechanism. Similarly, if the location is low-risk and indoor only, the IK10 and IP67 ratings in this model represent capability beyond what the site requires.
FAQs
- What does Smart Hybrid Light do differently from a standard IR camera?
A standard IR camera uses infrared illumination only, which produces monochrome night images. The DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY uses Smart Hybrid Light to switch automatically between IR and white-light modes based on scene conditions. White-light mode produces full-colour imagery, which is more useful for identifying clothing colours, vehicle colours, and skin tones. The camera selects the appropriate mode without manual intervention.
- Can the motorised lens be adjusted after installation without accessing the camera physically?
Yes. The 2.7-13.5 mm motorised varifocal lens supports remote zoom and focus adjustment through a connected NVR interface or Hikvision’s configuration software. This is a significant practical benefit for cameras installed at height or in difficult-to-access outdoor positions, as lens framing can be refined after mounting without a second site visit.
- What is the HEOP platform and how does it affect analytics?
HEOP is Hikvision’s embedded open platform that runs deep-learning analytics directly within the camera using onboard processing (rated at 1.5 TOPS for this model). This enables human and vehicle classification, face capture, and perimeter detection at the edge, reducing the processing burden on the connected recorder and allowing accurate event-based alerts even on recorders without built-in AI capabilities.
- Is the IK10 rating relevant for outdoor dome cameras?
IK10 indicates the camera housing can withstand a 20-joule impact, which corresponds to deliberate physical interference or significant accidental contact. For outdoor sites where cameras are mounted at reachable heights, such as carpark columns, building corners, or transport platforms, IK10 protection reduces the risk of a camera being put out of service by a direct strike to the dome.
- How does 130 dB WDR compare to standard WDR performance?
Many mid-range cameras offer WDR in the 100-120 dB range. At 130 dB, the DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY handles a wider contrast ratio, which is relevant in scenes with both strong direct sunlight and deep shade, or where interior lighting meets bright exterior windows. In these scenes, standard WDR cameras may still produce blown highlights or blocked shadows, while 130 dB WDR preserves detail across both zones.
- What NVR or recorder is needed to use the AI analytics features?
The DS-2CD3786G2HT-LIZSUY processes human/vehicle classification, face capture, and perimeter detection within the camera itself. A compatible Hikvision NVR that supports smart event streams from HEOP-enabled cameras will allow event-triggered recording and AI-based search. Basic recording to any ONVIF-compatible NVR is supported, but smart event filtering requires recorder-side compatibility with the HEOP event types. Security Wholesalers can advise on compatible recorder options to match this camera.
- Does the 8 MP resolution significantly increase storage requirements compared to a 4 MP camera?
An 8 MP stream at comparable quality settings uses more storage than a 4 MP stream. The H.265+ compression used in this camera is more efficient than H.264 and reduces the bitrate considerably relative to the resolution, helping to manage storage consumption. The actual storage impact depends on motion activity, scene complexity, recording schedule, and the bitrate settings configured in the NVR. H.265+ substantially reduces the gap between 4 MP and 8 MP storage requirements compared to older compression standards.
