Hikvision DS-2CD1063G2-LIU(4mm) 6MP Smart Hybrid Light Bullet Camera

The DS-2CD1063G2-LIU is the "detail" step on the bullet ladder: 6 MP of resolution with the same full smart package — a built-in microphone, person and vehicle classification, and Smart Hybrid Light (infrared + a white light that gives you colour on an event). In practice 6 MP means two things: you cover a wider area with a single camera, and you can zoom further into the recording before the picture falls apart.

The ladder arithmetic: above the DS-2CD1043G2-LIU (4 MP) — pay the difference if you are covering a wide frontage or the distance to the subject is beyond 10 metres. And below the DS-2CD1083G2-LIU (8 MP, 4K) — and here is a piece of genuine money-saving advice: for most homes and shops the jump from 4 to 6 MP is one you can feel, but the jump from 6 MP to 4K only shows up when you zoom hard into the recording — and 4K eats far more hard-disk space along the way. 6 MP is the practical summit of this ladder.

Where it actually gets used

A wide villa fence line: one 6 MP camera covers an area that used to need two 2 MP cameras — a saving on cameras and on cabling. A yard or a large garage: readable detail in every corner of the frame. A commercial building entrance: clear faces even with constant traffic.

Frequently asked

How much hard-disk space does 6 MP eat? Roughly a third more than 4 MP — and H.265+ makes up a good part of that. If you are recording continuously on many cameras, work the storage out with us before you buy.

Why not jump straight to 4K? If you are never going to need heavy zoom into the recording, the price difference plus double the storage consumption are not justified. We sell both — and we tell you the truth.

Is there a dome version? Yes — the DS-2CD1163G2-LIU, same resolution and same package for a small difference, for mounting under ceilings.
