Hikvision DS-2CD1353G0-I 5MP Outdoor Turret IP Camera with IR Night Vision, PoE, H.265+, 120dB WDR Security Surveillance Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD1353G0-I supports a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1920, which is equivalent to 5 megapixels. This higher resolution allows the camera to capture more detailed images compared to lower-resolution cameras, helping improve clarity when reviewing footage. The camera can deliver up to 20 frames per second at the full 5 MP resolution and up to 25 or 30 frames per second at lower resolutions such as 2560 × 1440 or 1920 × 1080. This flexibility allows the camera to balance image detail and smooth motion depending on recording needs.

Yes, the DS-2CD1353G0-I includes built-in infrared illumination for nighttime monitoring. The camera uses IR LEDs with a wavelength of 850 nm and provides night coverage up to 30 meters. When lighting conditions become very dark, the camera automatically switches from color mode to black-and-white night mode using an IR cut filter. This allows it to continue capturing visible footage even when there is no ambient light available.

Yes, the camera is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. It carries an IP67 rating according to IEC 60529 standards, meaning it is protected against dust and water ingress. The camera also supports operating temperatures from -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F), allowing it to function in a wide range of weather conditions. These environmental specifications make it suitable for exterior building monitoring and exposed locations.

Yes, the DS-2CD1353G0-I supports Power over Ethernet using the IEEE 802.3af standard (Class 3). With PoE, both power and network connectivity are delivered through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation because it reduces the need for a separate electrical outlet near the camera location. The camera can also operate using a 12 VDC power supply if PoE is not used.

The camera is available with either a 2.8 mm or a 4 mm fixed focal lens. The 2.8 mm lens provides a wider field of view, offering approximately 98° horizontal coverage and 127° diagonal coverage. The 4 mm option provides a narrower field of view with approximately 75.3° horizontal coverage. Both lenses use an M12 mount and have a fixed iris with an F2.0 aperture.

The DS-2CD1353G0-I supports several video compression formats including H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 for the main video stream. These compression technologies help reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements while maintaining video quality. The sub-stream also supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG formats. The video bit rate ranges from 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps depending on configuration.

Yes, the camera includes several basic event detection features. These include motion detection, video tampering detection, and exception alerts. When an event occurs, the system can trigger responses such as uploading files to an FTP server, notifying a surveillance center, or sending email alerts. These event features help notify users when unusual activity is detected.

Yes, the DS-2CD1353G0-I supports remote monitoring through network connections. It works with Hikvision client software such as iVMS-4200 and the Hik-Connect platform. The camera supports multiple network protocols including TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTP, and IPv6 for compatibility with many systems. It also allows up to six simultaneous live view channels.

Audio capability depends on the model version. The DS-2CD1353G0-IUF variant includes a built-in microphone and supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, and AAC. It also supports environment noise filtering and audio sampling rates of 8 kHz and 16 kHz. The base DS-2CD1353G0-I model does not include a built-in microphone.

Local storage is available on the DS-2CD1353G0-IUF model. This version includes a built-in memory card slot that supports microSD cards up to 256 GB. Local storage allows the camera to record footage directly to the card without relying entirely on a network video recorder. This can be useful as a backup recording option or for smaller surveillance setups.
