Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-2CD2043G2-LI2U/SL delivers a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, which is classified as 4 MP. This level of resolution allows the camera to capture fine details such as facial features, clothing, and vehicle characteristics more clearly than standard 1080p cameras. The higher pixel density is especially useful for reviewing footage after an incident. It also supports multiple stream resolutions to balance image quality with bandwidth and storage needs.
This camera uses Smart Hybrid Light technology, which combines infrared (IR) light and white light. The system can automatically switch between IR and white light depending on the scene and event triggers. This helps maintain usable nighttime footage while also enabling color images when white light is active. The supplement light range extends up to 40 meters, providing effective illumination for outdoor areas.
Yes, the DS-2CD2043G2-LI2U/SL supports deep learning–based human and vehicle classification. This feature allows motion detection and perimeter protection alarms to be triggered only by specified target types, reducing false alerts from animals, rain, or moving foliage. By focusing on people and vehicles, the camera helps users respond more efficiently to real security events. This capability is part of the camera’s AcuSense technology.
The camera includes a built-in arrayed dual-microphone for audio recording. It supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3, and AAC-LC. Environment noise filtering is also supported to help improve audio clarity. This makes the camera suitable for situations where audio context is important alongside video footage.
The DS-2CD2043G2-LI2U/SL supports H.265, H.264, H.265+, and H.264+ video compression. These formats help reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. The camera also supports multiple streams, allowing different compression and resolution settings per stream. This flexibility is useful when viewing live video remotely or recording long-term footage.
Yes, the camera is designed for outdoor use and carries an IP67 protection rating. This rating indicates resistance to dust and protection against water immersion. The operating temperature range is from -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F), allowing reliable operation in a wide range of environmental conditions.
The camera can be powered using 12 VDC or Power over Ethernet (PoE). It supports IEEE 802.3at PoE Class 4, with a maximum power consumption of 16 W when using PoE. Reverse polarity protection is included for added safety. These options provide flexibility for different installation environments.
Yes, the DS-2CD2043G2-LI2U/SL includes a built-in memory card slot. It supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards with a capacity of up to 512 GB. This allows local recording directly on the camera if network storage is unavailable. Memory card encryption and health detection are also supported when used with compatible cards.
The camera is available with fixed focal lens options of 2.8 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm. The 2.8 mm lens provides a wide horizontal field of view of 101°, while the 4 mm offers 82°, and the 6 mm offers a narrower 52° field of view. These options allow users to choose wider area coverage or longer-distance focus depending on the installation needs.
The camera supports a range of smart events, including line crossing, intrusion detection, face detection, and motion detection with human and vehicle classification. Alarm linkage options include uploading to FTP, NAS, or memory card, sending email notifications, triggering recordings, audible warnings, and flashing lights. These features allow the camera to actively respond to detected events rather than just recording them.
