The DS-2CD2083G2-I is an 8MP AcuSense fixed bullet network camera designed for commercial perimeter monitoring that requires detailed 4K video, human and vehicle classification, and dependable outdoor performance.
Its 2.8 mm fixed lens provides wide-area coverage for entrances, parking access points, loading areas, walkways, and building exteriors. AcuSense technology helps focus supported motion and perimeter events on people and vehicles.
120 dB WDR helps preserve image detail in scenes with strong backlight, while H.265+ compression helps reduce bandwidth and recording storage requirements.
The IP67-rated housing supports exposed outdoor installations in warehouses, offices, retail properties, schools, and industrial facilities.
