Product description

Hikvision DS-U04P: 2K USB webcam for clearer professional video communication

The Hikvision DS-U04P is a 4 MP USB webcam designed for professional video calls, online meetings and remote collaboration. Its 2560 x 1440 resolution provides more image detail than a conventional Full HD webcam, making it a practical choice for modern office workstations and hybrid working environments.

With a built-in microphone, plug-and-play USB connection and adjustable viewing angle, it combines essential video conferencing functions in a compact device that can be integrated into compatible computer setups.

2K QHD video for detailed online meetings

Present a clearer image during professional video calls with the webcam's 4 MP CMOS sensor and 2560 x 1440 maximum resolution. The additional detail of 2K QHD video is useful for individual conferencing, remote training and everyday business communication.

The camera supports up to 30 frames per second at 2560 x 1440 using MJPG video output. Full HD 1920 x 1080 video is also available at up to 30 fps, allowing users to select a resolution that suits their application.

Other supported resolutions include 1280 x 960, 1280 x 720, 640 x 480 and 640 x 360, with frame rates dependent on the selected video format.

Integrated microphone for convenient audio capture

The DS-U04P includes a built-in microphone, allowing users to transmit their voice during online meetings without connecting a separate desktop microphone.

With a specified 16 kHz audio sampling rate, the webcam combines video and microphone functions through its USB connection, helping simplify everyday workstation setups.

This integrated design is particularly useful for individual video conferencing, remote communication and online learning.

80° field of view with adjustable positioning

The camera offers an 80° horizontal field of view, alongside a 50° vertical and 88° diagonal viewing angle. This provides practical framing for a person seated at a desk or a small area around the workstation.

Its 360° pan adjustment and -15° to +15° tilt range allow users to adapt the camera direction to their position and workspace layout.

The manufacturer specifies a 3.6 mm lens and an object distance range from 10 cm to infinity, supporting a variety of desktop camera distances.

Plug-and-play USB connection for straightforward deployment

Connect the webcam to a compatible computer using its USB Type-A interface with USB 2.0 connectivity. The manufacturer specifies plug-and-play operation without the need to install additional driver software.

The integrated 1.5 m cable provides flexibility when arranging a monitor, computer and webcam on a desk.

Power is supplied through USB at 5 V DC ±5%, with a maximum consumption of 1.6 W, eliminating the need for a separate external power adapter.

Image adjustment and colour performance

The DS-U04P supports 24/7 colour imaging and automatic gain control, helping the camera adapt its brightness to changing lighting conditions.

Its minimum illumination specification is 0.1 lux at F1.2 with AGC enabled. This gives IT buyers a measurable reference when evaluating the webcam for workstations with different ambient lighting levels.

The manufacturer's product highlights also specify autofocus support. However, the detailed lens specification describes a fixed focal lens; this should be verified with Hikvision if autofocus is an essential purchasing requirement.

Compact construction for professional workstations

With dimensions of 80.16 x 48.6 x 42.18 mm and an approximate weight of 93 g, the webcam is compact enough for everyday office and home-working environments.

Its plastic housing includes a white operating indicator that illuminates during normal operation and switches off in standby mode.

The camera is designed to operate between -10°C and 45°C, with a maximum relative humidity of 90% in non-condensing conditions.

Applications and compatibility for hybrid working

The Hikvision DS-U04P is suited to corporate offices, hybrid workstations, remote meetings, online education and individual video conferencing. Its 2K image resolution, integrated microphone and USB connection make it a practical option for organisations equipping multiple desktop workspaces.

The manufacturer lists Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11; macOS 10.12 and later; Android 8.1 and later; Linux 4.14 and later; and Chrome OS among the recommended operating systems.

For Windows, the manufacturer notes that resolutions above 1080p require Windows 8.1 or later. Compatibility with individual conferencing applications should be verified separately, as the datasheet does not list specific Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet certifications.
