Product Features
Technical Overview
This Hikvision camera utilizes Turbo HD analog video technology, transmitting high-definition 5MP video over coaxial cable via the TVI format, compatible with NTSC and PAL systems. The fixed 6mm lens offers a 45-degree field of view, providing a balanced perspective for monitoring specific areas without excessive distortion. Advanced imaging features include Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) and Digital Wide Dynamic Range (D-WDR) to enhance video clarity in challenging lighting conditions, such as backlight or low-light scenarios.
The camera supports day/night operation with a removable IR cut-off filter, automatically switching between color and monochrome modes for optimal image quality. Exposure control is managed through a shutter speed range from 1/30 to 1/50000 second, combined with auto gain control and automatic white balance for consistent video output. These technical specifications ensure the camera captures detailed, stable footage suitable for security review and evidence purposes.
Key Product Advantages
The DS-2CE16H5T-IT3E 6MM offers distinct advantages for outdoor surveillance deployments, combining high-resolution imaging with environmental resilience. Its 5-megapixel sensor captures finer details than standard HD cameras, improving the ability to identify license plates, facial features, and other critical details at a distance. The 20-meter infrared night vision extends monitoring capability into complete darkness, supported by built-in IR LEDs that activate automatically based on light levels.
Durability in Harsh Conditions
With an IP67 rating, this camera withstands dust, rain, and temporary water immersion, making it ideal for outdoor installations in variable climates. The operating temperature range from -40°F to 140°F ensures reliable performance in extreme cold or heat.
- IP67 protection against dust and water
- Wide temperature tolerance for all seasons
- Robust bullet housing for impact resistance
Enhanced Image Quality
Features like Digital Wide Dynamic Range (D-WDR) balance bright and dark areas in the same scene, reducing overexposure and underexposure. Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) minimizes graininess in low-light footage, delivering cleaner video for analysis.
- WDR for high-contrast lighting
- DNR for clear low-light video
- Auto white balance for natural colors
Deployment / Use Cases
This bullet camera is designed for fixed-position outdoor surveillance where high-resolution monitoring and environmental durability are priorities. Its conduit mount facilitates secure attachment to walls, poles, or eaves, providing a stable vantage point with reduced vibration. The wired connectivity ensures a reliable, uninterrupted video feed to DVRs or hybrid recorders supporting Turbo HD TVI input, suitable for both new installations and upgrades from older analog systems.
Common deployment scenarios include perimeter security for commercial properties, monitoring of entry and exit points, surveillance of parking areas and loading docks, and oversight of outdoor storage or equipment yards. The camera's 45-degree field of view and 6mm focal length make it effective for covering medium-range areas like driveways, walkways, or fenced boundaries, where detailed identification is required without excessive wide-angle distortion.
Commercial Perimeter Security
Install along building exteriors or fence lines to deter trespassing and document incidents. The high resolution aids in identifying individuals and vehicles, while the night vision ensures 24/7 coverage.
- Clear identification of subjects
- Continuous monitoring day and night
- Tamper-resistant mounting
Parking and Lot Surveillance
Monitor parking lots for safety and theft prevention. The camera's durability handles weather exposure, and the 5MP resolution helps capture license plates and vehicle details.
- Vehicle and license plate detail
- Weatherproof for outdoor lots
- Fixed focus for consistent coverage
Physical Profile
The camera features a bullet-style housing that provides a deterrent presence and protects internal components from weather and tampering. Weighing 1.50 pounds (680 grams), it is substantial enough for stable mounting without being overly heavy. The conduit mount allows for secure attachment to surfaces, with cabling routed through the mount for a clean, professional installation that minimizes exposure to the elements. The compact design integrates the lens, sensor, and infrared LEDs into a single unit, simplifying setup and maintenance.
