FAQ
What is the video resolution of the Hikvision DS-HD2 camera?
The DS-HD2 captures video at a maximum resolution of 1536 x 1536, which is considered Full HD. This resolution provides clear, detailed footage suitable for identifying faces, license plates, or other critical details in surveillance scenarios. The camera uses H.264 and H.265 video compression formats to efficiently manage bandwidth and storage while maintaining high image quality.
How far does the night vision reach on this camera?
The infrared night vision on the DS-HD2 extends up to 16.4 feet (5 meters). This range allows the camera to monitor areas effectively in complete darkness, using infrared LEDs to illuminate the scene without visible light. The night vision type is infrared, ensuring reliable performance for overnight security applications in residential or commercial settings.
Can this camera be used outdoors?
Yes, the DS-HD2 is designed for outdoor use with an IP65 ingress protection rating.
