Hikvision PCI-T18F4S 8MP Outdoor Turret IP Security Camera with 4mm Lens and Built-In IR

The Hikvision PCI-T18F4S delivers exceptional surveillance performance with 8 MP (4K) resolution and AcuSense technology that intelligently classifies human and vehicle targets to dramatically reduce false alarms. The 4mm fixed lens provides an optimized 87° horizontal field of view, ideal for monitoring building entrances, parking areas, or retail storefronts where balanced coverage and facial recognition capabilities are essential. Powered by DarkFighter low-light technology, this camera maintains color imaging in near-darkness at just 0.003 Lux, eliminating the washed-out appearance of traditional IR-only night vision for critical identification tasks.

Advanced H.265+ compression technology reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by up to 50% compared to standard H.264, enabling longer retention periods and lower infrastructure costs without sacrificing image quality. The 120 dB true WDR ensures perfectly balanced exposure when monitoring scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, such as doorways with bright outdoor sunlight and shadowed interiors, or vehicle headlights against dark parking lots. The camera's intelligent IR illumination extends up to 40 meters with smart brightness adjustment that prevents overexposure of nearby subjects.

Built for professional security installations, the rugged metal housing features IP67 weatherproofing for reliable outdoor operation in rain, snow, and dust. Deep learning-powered analytics enable sophisticated event detection including line crossing, intrusion detection, and region entrance/exit monitoring—all with human and vehicle classification to eliminate nuisance alerts from animals, shadows, or weather. Two-way audio support, alarm I/O connectivity, and microSD card backup (up to 256 GB) provide comprehensive functionality for integrated security systems.

• 8 MP (4K) Resolution with DarkFighter Technology: Captures exceptional detail for facial recognition and license plate reading even in challenging low-light conditions at 0.003 Lux; maintains color imaging where standard cameras switch to black-and-white, preserving critical identification details like clothing color.
• AcuSense Human & Vehicle Classification: Dramatically reduces false alarms by intelligently distinguishing people and vehicles from animals, moving vegetation, and lighting changes; enables security teams to focus on genuine threats rather than reviewing hours of irrelevant footage.
• True 120 dB WDR Technology: Balances extreme lighting contrasts in demanding scenes like storefronts with bright window displays and dark interiors, or parking entrances where headlights create severe backlight; ensures faces and license plates remain clearly visible in all lighting zones simultaneously.
• H.265+ Advanced Compression: Reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements by up to 50% compared to H.264, enabling longer retention periods on existing infrastructure or supporting more cameras on limited network capacity without quality degradation.
• 40-Meter Smart IR Illumination: Provides comprehensive night vision coverage with intelligent brightness adjustment that prevents IR overexposure of nearby subjects; distributes illumination evenly across the entire field of view rather than creating bright hotspots and dark corners.
• Perimeter Protection with Deep Learning: Delivers highly accurate line crossing and intrusion detection with human/vehicle classification, enabling automated alerts for unauthorized access to restricted areas; reduces security staff workload by filtering out non-threatening motion triggers.
• IP67 Weatherproof Metal Housing: Ensures reliable year-round outdoor operation in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C with complete protection against rain, snow, dust, and humidity; metal construction provides vandal deterrence for publicly accessible locations.
• Flexible Integration & Storage Options: Supports two-way audio for remote communication, alarm I/O for external sensors and sirens, local microSD backup up to 256 GB for network failover, and ONVIF compliance for third-party VMS compatibility.
