Built for commercial perimeter and exterior access monitoring, the DS-2CD2043G2-I combines 4MP video, human and vehicle target classification, long-range Smart IR illumination, and local edge storage in a fixed bullet design.
The camera captures video at up to 2688 × 1520 resolution and is available with 2.8 mmfixed lens options. These lens choices support different deployment needs, from wider building entrances and loading areas to narrower views along drive lanes, exterior walls, and perimeter approaches.
Human and vehicle classification helps focus motion and perimeter events on relevant targets. The camera also supports line crossing detection, intrusion detection, and face detection, while 120 dB WDR, BLC, HLC, and 3D DNR help maintain useful image detail in challenging lighting conditions.
Smart IR illumination provides nighttime visibility up to 40 meters. The DS-2CD2043G2-I also supports H.265+ compression, onboard microSD storage up to 512 GB, IEEE 802.3af PoE, ONVIF Profile S/G integration, and IP67 weather protection for professional outdoor surveillance deployments.
