Designed for compact commercial installations that require discreet video monitoring and flexible audio integration, the DS-2CD2523G0-IS combines 2MP Full HD imaging, a built-in microphone, Audio I/O, smart event detection, and onboard recording in a low-profile mini dome design.
The camera records at up to 1920 × 1080 resolution and is available with 2.8 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm fixed lens options. Its 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range helps maintain usable image detail in areas with strong contrast, including glass entrances, reception areas, covered walkways, and parking access points.
Infrared illumination supports low-light and zero-light monitoring up to 10 meters. The camera also provides line crossing detection, intrusion detection, and face detection for commercial locations that need more event awareness than basic motion detection alone.
The DS-2CD2523G0-IS includes a built-in microphone, audio input and output connections, alarm input and output, and a microSD card slot supporting up to 128 GB. H.265+ compression, IEEE 802.3af PoE, ONVIF Profile S/G/T compatibility, IP66 weather protection, and an IK08-rated housing support flexible professional deployment.
