Hikvision IP Camera DS-2CD2043G2-I(2.8mm)

Hikvision IP camera DS-2CD2043G2-I is a professional surveillance device with AcuSense technology, with high quality design and functionality. It is a bullet model, recommended both in industrial areas, as well as in home systems or small businesses. The small size of the casing with retained excellent image quality, as in industrial series, is an undoubted advantage of this camera model.

IP cameras are used in variable observation conditions, so they are equipped with a number of technologies ensuring insensitivity and active adaptation to a heterogeneous monitoring environment.

The Hikvision DS-2CD2043G2-I IP camera has a progressive scan 1/3" CMOS sensor, which records images at 4 MP (2688×1520). It has a fixed 2.8 mm lens and a viewing angle of 103° horizontally and 55° vertically.

Additionally, the device has a built-in slot for SD/ SDHC/ SDXC cards with a capacity of up to 256 GB.

The camera housing is IP67-rated, which provides effective protection against the weather (full dust and water resistance). The camera can be used both indoors and outdoors.

The camera can be powered in a conventional way (using a 12 V power supply) or via PoE technology that enables transmission of data and power via a single cable, using an appropriate DVR or switch. The device has a built-in SMART IR illuminator up to 40 m, which allows to obtain good quality images in difficult conditions, such as at night or without any lighting.

The camera is part of the EasyIP 2.0 Plus series from AcuSense, so it has an H.265+ compression algorithm and the ability to use 3 VCA (intelligent video content analysis) analytics. Using deep learning algorithms, the device can classify objects by human/vehicle category. In addition, it detects movement, recognises faces, crossing a virtual line or trespassing into an area. This significantly increases productivity by eliminating false alarms.

Key features of IP cameras

• The motion detection system is an intelligent function that enables video recording to be started when objects are detected moving within the device's operating area. This reduces the viewing time of the video footage to a minimum and gives you the option to receive a notification if there is movement in the field of view of the camera.
• D-WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) wide dynamic range of exposure, i.e. compensation of strong contrasts and brightness differences. It improves the reproduction of the scene in the case of large differences in the level of illumination of different parts of it. This technology perfectly copes with image recording in the presence of non-uniform exposure of the frame.
• 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) digital noise reduction function. It filters the pixels of the sensor in order to remove noise in the recording caused by interference (e.g. from changes in signal intensity) and the correct rendering of colours by the camera. This allows for clear and transparent recordings both during the day and at night.
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) is an advanced function that allows the system to increase the signal level. The correction, applied on an ongoing basis, ensures stable image quality captured under changing observation conditions.
• AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter) function, which guarantees appropriate exposure of the material regardless of changes in lighting.
• BLC (Back Light Compensation) function preserves clarity and detail of objects in both the foreground and background of the observed scene.

EasyIP - security system adapted to your needs!

Hikvision EasyIP surveillance camera is a modern device characterised by an easy to use video system. Easy IP camera is easy to install thanks to the built-in hidden connection box and the use of super PoE technology.

Hikvision is releasing more and more technologically advanced devices that enable detailed images and offer practical video analytics options. Data compression functions reduce the amount of transmitted and stored data.

The intelligent algorithm used and developed by Hikvision significantly reduces the use of network bandwidth. By radically reducing the amount of data needed to establish a connection, the storage space requirements can be reduced while image quality is increased. H.265+ is the latest video compression standard called HEVC ( High Efficiency Video Coding). The H.265+ codec reduces the size of recorded data by over 80% compared to the first generation. Thanks to the use of intelligent analysis, predictive coding, background noise suppression and adaptive bandwidth control, the gain over the popular H.264 compression is on average 30%.

One cable - two functions!

Thanks to technology that allows data and power to be transmitted over a single cable, you don't have to worry about an additional power cable! All you need is a suitable DVR or switch and everything works!

Functional menu and free software

The modern and intuitive menu in Hikvision cameras allows you to test the camera at any time and conveniently view live images. Setting image parameters is extremely intuitive. The stability of the camera's operation is ensured by the option to back up settings, and the preventive function of the automatic camera restart secures the daily effectiveness of monitoring. The possibility to set and select built-in analytics, such as line crossing, vehicle/human object discrimination provides countless analytical possibilities of the recorded image, or to trigger external logic. Higher camera models in line with the decentralisation trend have built-in analytics. As edge network devices, some cameras have built-in analytics based on artificial intelligence AI algorithms and already from this level they analyse the image and send all the information to the DVR.

SADP Tool is software that allows you to find Hikvision devices in your local network, activate them and change basic network parameters. Now it is possible to conduct monitoring from almost any place and at any time.

Hikvision provides free software for users of monitoring cameras iVMS-4200, which makes the configuration and management of devices intuitive and easy. The use of the access application guarantees immediate notification of the user about a possible duplication of the IP address of the camera or a loss of connection with the device, which significantly protects the proper operation of the video surveillance system and maintains its efficiency.

The main options include: video recording from cameras, live image viewing, extensive alarm and access control functions. In one application you can control monitoring systems, access control or video door entry systems. Extensive settings functions allowing to change them to a full extent are invaluable. The software can use intelligent functions of video analysis.

The cameras send images to the NVR, which collects the recordings. If the device uses built-in analytics, recordings can be easily found by any defined parameters. From the application level it is possible to search for specific recordings, e.g. where an object has crossed a line, intruded into the area of vision, or more advanced ones, such as face detection or disappearance of an object from the field of view.

The modern design of the Hikvision iVMS application and its availability in many languages, including Polish, are additional advantages of this solution. The iVMS software is commonly used in small and medium scale monitoring. In the case of more complex systems, a useful function of the application is the ability to create accounts with different levels of authorisation.

A free user application (Android, iOS) prepared by Hikvision is Hik-Connect. It is designed for users who want to effectively use and manage their security devices via a smartphone or tablet. Hik-Connect is a cloud-based service that gives access to Hikvision devices from virtually anywhere in the world.

Push notifications send you real-time information about the status of your devices. Live monitoring informs the user about what is happening at their facility. The application is extremely intuitive, the registration of the device is done easily through a web browser or via QR codes. 

An additional advantage is that the Hikvision P2P service does not require additional port forwarding or a permanent external IP number. The cloud monitors the status of devices through a unique ID number, always knowing if the device is online and informing the user of any problems.
