Key Features

1. High-Resolution 6MP Imaging
With a 6-megapixel CMOS sensor (3072 × 2048 resolution), the camera captures ultra-clear, detailed images—perfect for identifying fine details in wide or complex scenes.

2. Smart AcuSense Technology (Motion Detection 2.0)
The DS-2CD2163G2-IU features  with advanced classification capabilities, allowing the camera to intelligently distinguish people and vehicles from other moving objects, significantly reducing false alarms caused by rain, animals, or tree branches.

3. Built-in Microphone for Audio Recording
An integrated high-quality microphone captures synchronized audio with video footage, adding context to incidents and enabling real-time listening. Audio data is crucial in environments such as entrances, hallways, or reception areas.

4. IR Night Vision – Up to 30m
With EXIR 2.0 infrared LEDs, the camera provides crisp black-and-white imaging in total darkness up to 30 meters, ensuring 24/7 surveillance without compromise.

5. Wide Field of View
Equipped with a 2.8mm fixed lens, the camera offers a broad horizontal view angle of approximately 100°, allowing for efficient coverage of wide areas such as lobbies, parking lots, or corridors.

6. Rugged and Weatherproof Design
With an IP67-rated weatherproof and IK10-rated vandal-resistant dome housing, the camera is built to withstand harsh outdoor environments and physical impact, ensuring long-term durability.

7. Efficient H.265+ Compression
To reduce bandwidth and storage requirements, the camera uses H.265+ compression, enabling longer recording times while maintaining high image quality—ideal for systems with limited storage capacity.

8. Seamless Integration & Remote Access
The DS-2CD2163G2-IU is fully compatible with Hikvision NVRs, Hik-Connect, and third-party platforms via ONVIF. Users can view live footage or playback recordings remotely through smartphones, tablets, or PCs.
