Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the Hikvision DS-2CD2163G2-IU for IP CCTV projects that need higher 6MP image quality with AcuSense smart detection and built-in audio.
• It is suitable for offices, shops, schools, villas, entrances, corridors, parking areas, and public areas where accurate event detection and vandal resistance are important.
• The camera offers strong value with 6MP resolution, AcuSense technology, human/vehicle classification, built-in microphone, 120dB WDR, H.265+ compression, 512GB SD card support, IP67, and IK10.
• For wider scenes, Connect Gates recommends the 2.8mm lens; for narrower and more focused monitoring, the 4mm lens is more suitable.
• For projects that need a lower-cost dome option, Connect Gates recommends comparing it with the 4MP AcuSense dome models according to the required image detail and budget.
