Hikvision launches first 16 MP Network Cameras for the SMBs market

October 30, 2025 – Hikvision, a global leader in the AI-powered Internet of Things (AIoT), has unveiled its first 16 MP network cameras designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The new series offers a step forward in image clarity for SMB security applications, providing an option for scenarios that require higher resolution than traditional 4 MP and 8 MP cameras. Available in both Live Guard and standard models, the series sets a new benchmark for image clarity and performance in its class.

Advanced imaging technologies for superior clarity

The new 16 MP camera series (2x166G3 models) incorporates several of Hikvision's most advanced imaging technologies:

 

  • 16 MP ultra-high definition: It delivers video output at resolutions up to 4608 × 3456, enabling the capturing of extreme details, significantly improving post-event forensics and analysis efficiency.
  • Powered by DarkFighter: Hikvision's advanced low-light imaging technology enables the cameras to capture clear and detailed imaging in low-light conditions. With enhanced light intake and deep learning algorithms, they maintain clear imaging without compromising brightness—breaking the limits often seen in high-resolution cameras under dim conditions.
  • Enhanced Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): An advanced image processing technique that automatically turns on or off to ambient lighting, balancing bright and dark areas within the same frame. It provides exceptional image quality across the full frame, minimizing underexposure or overexposure even in challenging high-contrast scenes where light and shadow intersect.

Designed for reliability and sustainability

  • The cameras feature NEMA 4X-rated protection, a standard for corrosion resistance, making them ideal for various environments.
  • Their eco-friendly & tamper-free design minimizes environmental impact while simplifying upgrades and pre-configuration.

Versatile applications across SMB scenarios

With enhanced brightness, clarity, and color reproduction accuracy, the new series is ideal for a variety of SMB settings:

 

  • Retail and commercial spaces – In malls, supermarkets, and retail stores, the cameras deliver sharp, high-resolution footage of product displays, cashiers, and security events. This enables more organized merchandise management and loss prevention.
  • Parking and facility management – In parking areas, the cameras can clearly capture occupancy status and license plate details from a distance—significantly enhancing management efficiency and safety.

"The 2x166G3 series will help SMBs upgrade to next-level video security with professional-grade image quality that was previously only accessible to enterprise customers," said Rubio Hong, the Product Director at Hikvision. "The 16 MP resolution combined with our AI-powered imaging technologies ensures that businesses can capture the critical details they need, whether for live view or post-event investigation."
