The DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF delivers a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160, which equals 8 megapixels. According to the datasheet, this high resolution allows the camera to capture fine details suitable for identifying people, vehicles, and important scene elements. It uses a 1/2.7" progressive scan CMOS image sensor to maintain image clarity. This makes it well suited for applications requiring detailed video evidence.

Yes, the datasheet confirms that the DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF supports alarm triggering by specified target types, including humans and vehicles. This intelligent detection helps reduce false alarms caused by irrelevant motion such as animals or environmental changes. Detection events can be linked to actions like recording or sending notifications. This improves overall alarm accuracy and efficiency. 

Smart Hybrid Light combines infrared and white light illumination in a single system. According to the datasheet, the camera can intelligently switch between IR and white light based on the scene and detected events. The illumination range is up to 30 meters. This helps maintain visibility at night while minimizing unnecessary light usage. 

The camera is designed for reliable low-light performance. The datasheet specifies minimum illumination of 0.01 lux in color mode and 0 lux when infrared lighting is enabled. With Smart Hybrid Light support, the camera can adapt to nighttime environments automatically. This ensures continuous monitoring even in complete darkness. 

Yes, the DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio security. According to the datasheet, it supports mono sound with environmental noise filtering. It also supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, and AAC-LC. This allows synchronized audio and video recording when supported by the system. 

Yes, the “-F” variant of this model supports on-board storage. The datasheet states that it includes a built-in memory card slot supporting microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to 512 GB. This allows local video recording directly on the camera. It can also serve as backup storage if the network connection is interrupted. 

The DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF is available with fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm or 4 mm. According to the datasheet, the 2.8 mm lens provides a 113° horizontal field of view, while the 4 mm lens provides a 90° horizontal field of view. Both lenses use a fixed F2.0 aperture. These options allow users to choose between wider coverage or a more focused viewing area. 

Yes, the camera is designed for outdoor environments. The datasheet lists an IP67 rating, indicating protection against dust and water ingress. It also supports operating temperatures from -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). These specifications make it suitable for most standard outdoor installations.

The DS-2CD1383G2-LIUF supports efficient video compression technologies. According to the datasheet, the main stream supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264, while the sub-stream supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. These formats help reduce bandwidth and storage usage. This is especially beneficial for high-resolution and long-term recording. 

The camera supports both 12 VDC power input and Power over Ethernet. According to the datasheet, it is compatible with IEEE 802.3af PoE, Class 3, with a maximum power consumption of 6.5 W. It also supports 12 VDC ±25% with reverse polarity protection. This dual-power design provides flexibility during installation.
