Hikvision PCI-LB18F12S 8MP Outdoor Bullet IP Security Camera with 12mm Lens and Built-In IR

Hikvision PCI-LB18F12S 8MP Outdoor Bullet IP Security Camera with 12mm Lens and Built-In IR

The Hikvision PCI-LB18F12S delivers exceptional long-range surveillance capabilities with 8 MP (4K) resolution and a 12mm telephoto lens specifically designed for detailed subject identification at extended distances. The narrow field of view concentrates pixel density over distance, enabling facial recognition and license plate capture beyond 150 feet while maintaining forensic-quality detail. This camera excels in applications requiring long-range perimeter monitoring, parking lot surveillance from elevated positions, building facade monitoring across large plazas, or any scenario where distant subject identification is critical. 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.

Advanced H.265+ compression technology reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by up to 50% compared to standard H.264, enabling extended retention periods or supporting additional cameras without infrastructure upgrades—particularly valuable when managing high-resolution 4K video streams. The 120 dB true WDR ensures perfectly balanced exposure across scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, such as monitoring distant gates with bright sunlight and shadowed approach areas, or capturing license plates against vehicle headlights at night. The camera's intelligent IR illumination extends up to 90 meters (295 feet) with smart brightness adjustment that prevents overexposure while maintaining visibility across the entire telephoto field of view.

Built for professional security installations in demanding outdoor environments, the ruggedized all-metal housing features IP67 weatherproofing for reliable year-round 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 false alarms and enabling automated responses to genuine security threats detected at long range. Enhanced professional features include dual alarm I/O for external sensor integration, two-way audio support, local microSD backup up to 256 GB for network failover, and ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance for seamless third-party VMS integration.

• 8 MP (4K) Resolution with 12mm Telephoto Lens: Concentrates pixel density for exceptional long-range detail capture; enables facial recognition and license plate reading at 100-300+ feet where standard lenses cannot provide adequate identification detail; ideal 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 subject identification in near-total darkness; intelligent human/vehicle classification eliminates up to 90% of false alarms by filtering out animals, vegetation movement, shadows, and weather conditions—critical for long-range monitoring where distant motion triggers are common.
• 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 overexposure of foreground objects while maintaining visibility of distant subjects, enabling 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 scenes; essential for monitoring distant gates or entry points where bright outdoor areas transition to shadowed approach zones, or capturing license plates against vehicle headlights at extended distances without blown-out highlights or lost shadow detail.
• H.265+ Advanced Compression: Reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to H.264 while preserving 4K forensic-quality image detail; particularly valuable for telephoto applications generating large video files, enabling longer retention periods on existing infrastructure or supporting more high-resolution cameras without costly network upgrades.
• 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 early warning time for threat assessment and response.
• 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 durability for elevated or exposed mounting positions common in long-range surveillance applications.
• Professional Integration & Redundancy: Supports two-way audio for remote communication with distant subjects, dual alarm I/O for external sensors and siren activation, local microSD storage up to 256 GB for network failover protection, audio exception detection, and ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliance for third-party VMS compatibility in enterprise security systems.
