The budget-friendly motorised-zoom 4MP bullet
The Hikvision DS-2CD2641G0-LIZSU is the previous-generation 4MP motorised-zoom IP bullet camera. It is what we install when the property genuinely needs zoom flexibility at one position, but the budget will not stretch to the latest 6MP G2H generation. Same 2.8 to 12mm zoom range as the current generation. Same remote zoom control from the NVR or Hik-Connect app. 4MP resolution, audio support, and the practical motorised-zoom feature set at a meaningfully lower price point.
You give up the 6MP detail of the current G2H generation, ColorVu full-colour night vision, and the latest AcuSense classification. What you keep is the core motorised-zoom capability, which for many properties is the deciding factor.
What this camera is actually good at
- 4MP resolution. Sharp at the centre of the frame across the zoom range.
- Motorised 2.8 to 12mm zoom. Approximately 4x optical zoom range, controlled remotely.
- Auto-focus. Refocuses automatically every time the zoom level changes.
- Built-in audio. Microphone captures audio alongside video.
- Up to 50m IR illumination. Total-darkness coverage at the longer focal lengths.
- 120 dB WDR. Handles harsh contrast scenes cleanly.
- IP67 weather-sealed. Built for full outdoor mounting.
- H.265+ compression. Doubles your effective recording capacity.
Where this camera belongs on your property
- Multi-purpose property positions needing flexibility between wide and tight views
- Cost-conscious smallholding setups where one motorised zoom can cover what would otherwise need two fixed cameras
- Existing system upgrades where you want to add zoom flexibility without the latest-generation premium
- Small business positions watching customer flow and entrances together
- Estate vehicle access points covering both the boom area and the approach road
If you want a step up in capability
- The DS-2CD2646G2HT-IZS 2.8 to 12mm is the current-generation 6MP version with full ColorVu and AcuSense. The right step up when the budget supports it and identification quality across the full zoom range matters.
- The DS-2CD2086G2H-I 8MP ColorVu swaps motorised zoom for a higher-resolution fixed lens.
If you want to compare motorised zooms at this level
- The DS-2CD2646G2-IZS is the G2 generation 6MP motorised zoom without ColorVu.
- The DS-2CD2647G2-LZS is an alternative motorised-zoom variant.
Pairs cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR. Our home CCTV installation guide covers system design.
Motorised zoom needs setup, not just installation
The zoom flexibility only delivers value when the preset positions, focus locks, and remote-control setup are configured. We do that work on every install across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg, and we show you how to drive the zoom from your phone before we leave.
Full 3-year Hikvision South Africa warranty through authorised distribution. Pricing on the CCTV installation prices page.
