Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD1343G2-LIU(F) is a feature-rich 4MP fixed turret network camera from Hikvision's Value Series, engineered to deliver professional-grade surveillance performance at an accessible price point. Powered by a 1/3" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, it captures crisp, detailed footage at a maximum resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, enabling clear identification of faces, licence plates, and other critical details.
At the heart of its night vision capability is Smart Hybrid Light technology, which combines 850nm infrared illumination and white light into a single intelligent system with a range of up to 30 metres. The camera automatically adjusts between IR and white light modes depending on the environment, ensuring consistently high-quality footage at all times — day, night, or low light.
Powered by Hikvision's built-in AI engine, the DS-2CD1343G2-LIU(F) supports human and vehicle classification-based motion detection, distinguishing people and cars from irrelevant triggers such as animals, swaying branches, or passing headlights. This dramatically reduces false alarms and ensures that alerts are meaningful and actionable. Event-based linkage actions include FTP upload, email notification, surveillance centre alerts, and — on the -F model — memory card recording and trigger capture.
The camera incorporates a built-in microphone for real-time audio capture alongside video, providing a richer situational awareness for operators. The -F variant adds a reset key and a built-in microSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot supporting up to 512GB of local storage, enabling standalone operation without an NVR or DVR and making it ideal for smaller installations or standalone deployments.
Video compression is handled by H.265+, Hikvision's advanced encoding technology that reduces storage requirements and network bandwidth consumption by up to 50% compared to standard H.265, without sacrificing image quality. The camera supports multiple stream configurations and bit rate controls (CBR/VBR) for flexible integration into various network environments.
Image quality is further enhanced by a 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for balanced exposure in scenes with mixed lighting, 3D Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), BLC and HLC for challenging backlight and highlight conditions, and 4 programmable polygon privacy masks for compliance and privacy protection.
The wide-angle F1.6 aperture and availability in 2.8mm (98° FOV) and 4mm (78° FOV) lens variants make it suitable for different coverage requirements. Its 360° pan / 75° tilt / 360° rotation angle adjustment allows precise positioning during installation.
Connectivity is provided via a standard RJ45 10/100M Ethernet port, with PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) support for single-cable installation and an optional 12VDC power input. The camera's compact Ø110mm × 89.2mm turret form factor in metal and plastic construction, combined with its IP67 dust and water resistance and a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to 60°C, make it suitable for virtually any indoor or outdoor installation.
Remote access is available via Hik-Connect (mobile app) and iVMS-4200 (PC client), with ONVIF Profile S, T, and G (on -F models) compliance ensuring broad third-party VMS integration. Up to 6 simultaneous live view channels and 32 user accounts are supported for multi-operator environments.
