Hikvision DS-2CD2643G2-IZS 4MP AcuSense Outdoor PoE Bullet Camera with Motorized Lens

The DS-2CD2643G2-IZS delivers a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, which equals 4 megapixels. This level of detail allows clearer identification of people, vehicles, and activities compared to standard 1080p cameras. The camera supports multiple frame rates depending on region, with up to 25 fps at 50 Hz or 30 fps at 60 Hz. This ensures smooth video for both live viewing and playback while maintaining high image clarity.

Yes, this model includes AcuSense technology with deep learning–based human and vehicle target classification. Motion detection, line crossing detection, and intrusion detection can all distinguish between people, vehicles, and non-relevant objects. This helps reduce false alarms caused by things like rain, shadows, or animals. The result is more reliable alerts that focus on real security events.

The camera uses an integrated IR illuminator with a range of up to 60 meters for night surveillance. It has a minimum illumination of 0.005 lux in color mode and can operate at 0 lux with IR enabled. An IR cut filter (ICR) ensures accurate color during the day and clear black-and-white images at night. This makes it suitable for both dimly lit and completely dark environments.

This camera is equipped with a motorized varifocal lens ranging from 2.8 mm to 12 mm. The motorized design allows installers to adjust zoom and focus remotely, reducing setup time and the need for physical adjustments. Depending on the focal length, the horizontal field of view ranges from approximately 95.8° to 29.2°. This flexibility allows the camera to cover wide areas or focus on specific zones as needed.

Yes, the DS-2CD2643G2-IZS supports 120 dB true Wide Dynamic Range. This feature helps balance bright and dark areas within the same scene, such as entrances with strong backlighting or headlights at night. WDR improves visibility of faces and objects that might otherwise appear too dark or washed out. It is especially useful in environments with challenging lighting conditions.

The camera supports H.265, H.264, H.265+, and H.264+ compression on the main stream. Sub-stream and third-stream options also support combinations of H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. The advanced “plus” codecs help reduce bandwidth and storage usage while maintaining image quality. This makes the camera more efficient for long-term recording and network performance.

Yes, the camera includes a built-in microSD card slot that supports cards up to 512 GB. This allows for edge recording directly on the camera without relying solely on a network video recorder. It can be used as primary storage or as a backup if network connectivity is interrupted. The datasheet also lists support for ANR (auto network replenishment) when using network storage.

The DS-2CD2643G2-IZS can be powered using 12 VDC or Power over Ethernet (PoE). It supports PoE under the IEEE 802.3at standard (Class 4). Maximum power consumption is approximately 13 W with 12 VDC or up to 15 W when using PoE. This flexibility allows for simpler installations using a single Ethernet cable when PoE is available.

Yes, the camera is designed for outdoor use with an IP67 weather resistance rating. This means it is protected against dust and heavy rain. It also carries an IK10 impact rating, indicating resistance to vandalism and physical impact. The aluminum alloy body further enhances durability in exposed or public-facing installations.

The camera supports a range of smart events, including motion detection with human and vehicle classification, line crossing detection, and intrusion detection. It also includes face detection capabilities. Event linkage options include triggering recordings, capturing images, sending emails, or uploading files to FTP, NAS, or a memory card. These features allow the camera to actively respond to security events rather than just record video.
