Hikvision DS-2CD2E43G2-U(2.8MM) 4MP (2688 × 1520) Recessed Dome Camera

This professional-grade recessed dome camera captures stunning 4MP (2688 × 1520) video, providing exceptional detail for forensic review and real-time monitoring. Equipped with a high-quality Fixed 2.8 mm lens, it delivers a broad field of view to minimize blind spots across your property. Integrated with Standard Low-Light Sensitivity technology, it excels in challenging lighting conditions by producing clean, noise-free images even in near-total darkness, while true 120 dB balances high-contrast scenes to prevent silhouetting.

Onboard artificial intelligence classifies human and vehicle targets, filtering out up to 90% of false alarms from pets, leaves, rain, and shadows. The camera is housed in a durable Flame-Retardant Polycarbonate enclosure designed for stable and professional indoor monitoring. With flexible power options via PoE or 12 VDC, local edge storage, and secure remote access, it offers a comprehensive, stand-alone security solution.

Ultra-High-Definition 4MP (2688 × 1520) Clarity

Capturing video at 4MP (2688 × 1520) resolution, this camera ensures that every frame contains dense pixel detail. Security operators can zoom in on live or recorded video to identify critical elements such as faces, logos, apparel details, or vehicle license plates with forensic accuracy, providing superior security verification.

Optimized Optics & Coverage

Featuring a Fixed 2.8 mm, the camera provides a balanced field of view. The lens is matched with a high-quality optical sensor to ensure edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal distortion, making it perfect for monitoring walkways, storefronts, and loading bays. This model features a fixed focal lens, offering a stable and calibrated field of view optimized for general area coverage, perimeter walls, and hallway passages.

Enhanced Low-Light & Wide Dynamic Range

The true 120 dB technology uses dual-exposure processing to restore details in both dark shadows and bright highlights simultaneously. This is critical for glass entryways, loading docks, and areas with reflective surfaces. Combined with Standard Low-Light Sensitivity technology, the camera maintains color fidelity and sharpness far longer into the night before switching to infrared mode.

Deep Learning Target Classification

Driven by smart motion detection algorithms, the camera intelligently processes motion events in the scene. By focusing on pixel-level movement, it alerts security personnel of real security changes, helping filter out noise and improve situational awareness.

High-Sensitivity Sensor for Ambient Lighting

Specifically designed for indoor environments with existing lighting, this camera utilizes a high-sensitivity sensor to capture clear images in low light. Unlike traditional cameras, it does not use infrared LEDs, preventing spiderweb attraction and visible red glow in decorative ceilings.

Weatherproof Design & Local Edge Storage

Housed in a durable Flame-Retardant Polycarbonate enclosure, this camera operates reliably. It includes an integrated microSD card slot supporting up to 256 GB of local edge recording, ensuring video backup during network outages.

Note: This camera is part of Hikvision's professional security line. To ensure full compatibility with NVR features, advanced deep learning analytics, and firmware updates, professional installation and network configuration are highly recommended.
