How to Configure 2XX7G3 (LI/SL/2U) Camera Based on H13 Platform
This guide covers the key configuration options for the Hikvision 2XX7G3 series cameras (LI, SL, and 2U variants) running on the H13 platform. These cameras introduce several new features and interface changes compared to older models, including dual-Mic audio, smart hybrid lighting with configurable duration, Auto-WDR, EIS, rotate mode in perimeter mode, and image calibration.
Contents
1. Audio Configuration
Unlike older cameras’ two-way audio function, the new dual-Mic two-way camera supports volume adjustment during two-way audio. The volume adjustment interface has been moved from the linkage configuration interface to the Video/Audio > Audio interface.
| Setting | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Input Volume | 50 |
| Output Volume | 100 |
| Environmental Noise Filtering (Dual-Mic) | Enabled |
2. Smart Hybrid Light Configuration
The default Supplement Light Mode is White Light. After switching to Smart mode, the 2XX7G3 smart hybrid camera introduces a new configurable feature compared to older smart hybrid cameras: the white light supplement light on duration can be set between 10–300 seconds, with a default of 60 seconds.
| Setting | Default Value | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Supplement Light Mode | White Light | White Light / Smart |
| White Light Duration (Smart mode) | 60 seconds | 10–300 seconds |
| Light Brightness Control | Auto | Auto / Manual |
3. Image Settings
3.1 WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The 2XX7G3 camera supports Auto-WDR, with the default backlight mode set to Auto-WDR and a default level of 50. In this mode, the camera will automatically turn WDR on or off based on changes in scene lighting and other factors.
| Setting | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Backlight Mode | Auto-WDR |
| WDR Level | 50 |
3.2 EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation)
The 2XX7G3 camera supports EIS electronic image stabilisation, which is turned off by default. When the camera installation environment experiences shaking due to external factors (such as wind or vibration), EIS can be turned on to improve image quality and reduce motion blur.
| Setting | Default Value |
|---|---|
| EIS | Off |
3.3 Rotate Mode and Image Calibration
Rotate Mode
The 2XX7G3 camera supports rotate mode, which is turned off by default. Unlike older models such as the G5 platform—which require switching to normal monitoring mode to support rotate mode—the 2XX7G3 camera still supports rotate mode in perimeter mode. This is a significant improvement for corridor-view installations where smart event detection is also needed.
Image Calibration
The fixed-focus 2XX7G3 camera supports image calibration, which is turned off by default. If your scene requires image calibration, use the following recommended levels based on lens focal length:
| Lens Focal Length | Recommended Calibration Level |
|---|---|
| 4mm | Level 1 |
| 2.8mm | Level 2 |
| 2mm | Level 3 |
