Hikvision PCI-LB15F12S 5MP Outdoor Bullet IP Security Camera with 12mm Lens and Built-In IR

The Hikvision PCI-LB15F12S delivers professional long-range surveillance with 5 MP resolution and a 12mm telephoto lens optimized for distant subject identification at a cost-effective price point. The narrow field of view concentrates pixel density over distance, enabling reliable facial recognition and license plate capture beyond 120 feet while maintaining excellent image quality. This camera provides an ideal balance of performance and value for applications requiring extended-range perimeter monitoring, large parking lot surveillance, building facade monitoring, or property boundary observation. Powered by DarkFighter low-light technology and AcuSense intelligent classification, it maintains color imaging in near-darkness at just 0.003 Lux while accurately distinguishing human and vehicle targets to eliminate false alarms.

Advanced H.265+ compression technology reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by up to 50% compared to standard H.264, enabling extended retention periods without infrastructure upgrades—particularly valuable when managing multiple high-resolution camera feeds. The 120 dB true WDR ensures perfectly balanced exposure across scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, such as monitoring distant gates with bright outdoor areas and shadowed approach zones, or capturing license plates against vehicle headlights at extended distances. The camera's intelligent IR illumination extends up to 90 meters (295 feet) with smart brightness adjustment that prevents overexposure of foreground objects while maintaining visibility of distant subjects throughout the telephoto field of view.

Built for demanding professional security installations, the ruggedized all-metal housing features IP67 weatherproofing for reliable year-round outdoor operation in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C with complete protection against rain, snow, dust, and humidity. Deep learning-powered perimeter protection delivers sophisticated line crossing and intrusion detection with human and vehicle classification, dramatically reducing nuisance alerts and enabling automated responses to genuine security threats detected at long range. Professional features include dual alarm I/O for external sensor integration and siren triggering, two-way audio support for remote communication, local microSD backup up to 256 GB for network failover protection, and ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance for seamless third-party VMS integration.

• 5 MP Resolution with 12mm Telephoto Lens: Delivers exceptional long-range detail for facial recognition and license plate reading at 100-250 feet; concentrates pixel density over distance for reliable subject identification where standard lenses cannot provide adequate detail; cost-effective solution for monitoring large parking lots, building perimeters, or property boundaries from centralized camera positions.
• DarkFighter Low-Light Technology with AcuSense: Maintains full-color imaging at 0.003 Lux for superior identification capabilities in near-total darkness; intelligent human/vehicle classification eliminates up to 90% of false alarms by filtering out animals, vegetation, shadows, and weather conditions—critical for long-range applications where distant motion triggers are common but not always security-relevant.
• 90-Meter Extended IR Range: Provides comprehensive night vision coverage up to 295 feet with smart illumination that automatically adjusts brightness distribution across the telephoto field of view; prevents IR washout of foreground objects while maintaining visibility of distant subjects, enabling reliable 24/7 perimeter monitoring without supplemental lighting infrastructure.
• True 120 dB WDR Technology: Simultaneously captures clear detail in extremely bright and very dark areas of long-range surveillance scenes; essential for monitoring distant entry points where bright outdoor sunlight transitions to shadowed approach zones, or capturing license plates against vehicle headlights at extended distances without losing critical identification detail.
• H.265+ Advanced Compression: Reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to H.264 while preserving forensic-quality image detail; enables longer retention periods on existing infrastructure or supports deploying additional high-resolution cameras without costly network capacity upgrades, particularly valuable for multi-camera long-range surveillance systems.
• Long-Range Perimeter Protection: Delivers highly accurate line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exit detection with human/vehicle target classification at extended distances; enables automated alerts for unauthorized access detected 100+ feet away while filtering non-threatening motion, providing security teams with critical early warning time for threat assessment and response coordination.
• IP67 Weatherproof All-Metal Construction: Ensures reliable outdoor operation year-round in extreme environments from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F) with complete protection against rain, snow, dust storms, and high humidity; rugged metal housing provides vandal deterrence and long-term durability for elevated or exposed mounting positions typical in long-range surveillance applications.
• Professional Integration & Redundancy: Supports two-way audio for remote communication with distant subjects or verbal warnings, dual alarm I/O for external PIR sensors and siren activation, local microSD storage up to 256 GB for network failover protection during connectivity interruptions, audio exception detection, and ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance for third-party VMS compatibility.
