Hikvision 6 MP ColorVu 3.0 Turret Network Camera DS-2CD1367G3-LIUF/SL

The DS-2CD1367G3-LIUF/SL is the 6 MP ColorVu 3.0 turret in Hikvision’s 1-Series, and on most jobs it is specified for one reason: the /SL suffix, which means the camera answers a detection with a strobe and an audible alarm rather than quietly filing the clip. That changes what the position is for. A plain turret records a person walking through the scene; this one interrupts them.

It also sits directly beside a near-twin in the same range, and that is where the ordering mistakes happen. The DS-2CD1367G3-LIU/SL is the same 6 MP sensor, the same ColorVu 3.0 generation and the same active deterrence — it differs only in the imaging designation, LIUF here against LIU there. The two codes are one character apart and photograph identically, so we check the suffix against the shipping datasheet for the revision we quote before the price goes on paper. If you want the sibling side by side, the DS-2CD1367G3-LIU/SL is listed separately here.

Where it fits

This is a camera for positions where you want something to happen at the moment of detection, not at the morning review: a yard gate after hours, a loading bay, a compound side wall, a stock entrance nobody watches live. ColorVu 3.0 keeps the scene in colour after dark, which is what makes a description usable — clothing, vehicle colour, which of the three men was carrying something — and the /SL deterrence gives a response that does not depend on anyone being awake at the monitor.

The corollary is the part installers skip. A deterrent camera that nobody has configured to deter is just an expensive witness. The strobe and alarm fire on rules you set, so commissioning must include drawing the detection area and setting a schedule, or the client pays a deterrence price for a normal turret and a strobe that triggers at every passing cat.

Before you order — three things to confirm

• Which suffix the schedule means. LIUF and LIU/SL are separate lines. If a project mixes both, write the exact suffix against every position rather than “DS-2CD1367G3” — the site team cannot tell them apart from the box.
• Whether deterrence suits that position. A strobe facing a neighbouring residence, a pavement or a road is a complaint waiting to happen. Choose deterrence positions deliberately, not across the whole schedule because the part number was on offer.
• Who commissions the rules. Detection areas, arming schedule and alarm behaviour need someone with access to the recorder or the camera’s configuration. Agree in advance whether that is you or the client’s IT.

Figures from Hikvision’s published datasheet for this model family — any value that can differ between variants is confirmed against your exact ordering code. We confirm the revision in stock when we quote.

Compatibility

As a standard Hikvision IP camera it records to Hikvision NVRs and is managed through the usual Hikvision software and app. Deterrence behaviour is configured on the camera or through the recorder, so confirm your recorder’s firmware exposes those settings before committing a large batch to an older head end. With a third-party VMS, check it passes the alarm and light controls through, not only the video stream.

What’s in the box

The camera itself. We do not list brackets, power supplies or cabling as included — Hikvision revises carton contents without notice, so the contents of the revision we hold are confirmed on your order before it ships.

Common questions

Is the LIUF the same camera as the LIU/SL?
Not officially. Same 6 MP ColorVu 3.0 turret with the same active deterrence, different imaging designation. We confirm which one you are getting against the datasheet for the batch in stock rather than guessing from the family name alone.

Can the strobe and siren be switched off?
The deterrence is rule-driven, so it can be scheduled, narrowed to a smaller detection area or left effectively dormant. Confirm the exact options for your firmware on the datasheet before promising a client specific behaviour.

Can I mix LIUF and LIU/SL units on one site?
Yes — they record to the same system. Keep the suffixes straight on the as-built drawings, because a replacement ordered two years later from an ambiguous schedule is how sites end up with mismatched pairs.
