Applications
Ideal for enterprise campuses, industrial facilities, logistics hubs, and critical infrastructure requiring 24/7 color surveillance with intelligent object detection. The combination of high DORI reach, dual supplementary lighting, and AI perimeter protection makes this camera suitable for wide-area monitoring, access control zones, and rapid threat assessment in security-sensitive operations.

The DS-2CD3788G2T-LIZSU represents a significant advancement in outdoor dome camera technology. Its 0.0028 Lux ColorVu capability—paired with smart white light supplementation—eliminates the traditional trade-off between color fidelity and low-light performance, a critical advantage in forensic scenarios where color information aids identification. The F1.2 maximum aperture and intelligent shutter (1/3 s to 1/100,000 s) enable precise exposure control across extreme dynamic range scenes.
The integrated AI engine (1.5 TOPS computing power) supports Caffe, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX frameworks, enabling deployment of custom deep learning models for specialized threat detection. Built-in human/vehicle classification with face capture and people counting reduces analyst workload while the perimeter protection suite (line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit) provides proactive alerting rather than passive recording.
From an infrastructure perspective, PoE-only power (max. 15 W) simplifies deployment in remote outdoor locations, while the 2 GB eMMC and 350 MB smart RAM support onboard processing without requiring constant server communication. Dual audio input/output with environmental noise filtering adds context to video alerts. The varifocal motorized lens delivers impressive DORI metrics (216 m detection distance in tele mode), critical for large perimeter surveillance. IP67/IK10 certification ensures reliability in demanding environments—dust ingress protection and vandalism resistance are essential for unmanned outdoor installations.
