The DS-2CD2183G0-I is an 8MP vandal-resistant dome camera designed for commercial surveillance environments that require detailed video, durable protection, and reliable day-and-night monitoring.
Featuring an 8MP image sensor and a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens, the camera provides broad scene coverage for areas such as building entrances, office lobbies, retail spaces, hallways, and public access areas where wider monitoring coverage is required.
The camera combines Smart IR illumination with 120 dB WDR technology to maintain usable image detail in changing lighting conditions, including bright entrances, glass areas, shadows, and low-light environments.
Built for commercial installations, the IK10 vandal-resistant housing and IP67 weather protection support use in exposed indoor and outdoor locations. H.265+ compression, PoE connectivity, onboard storage support, and network integration features provide flexibility for professional surveillance deployments.
