Detailed Features & Benefits
6MP High-Resolution Surveillance
The Hikvision DS-2CD2166G2H-ISU captures video
at up to 3200 × 1800 resolution,
providing detailed security footage for professional
surveillance applications.
The high-resolution image is suitable for monitoring
building entrances, commercial premises, driveways,
warehouses and outdoor security areas.
Powered by DarkFighter Technology
Hikvision's Powered by DarkFighter technology
is designed to improve image quality in
challenging low-light environments.
Advanced sensor technology and image processing
help maintain useful image detail when
available lighting is limited.
When ambient light is insufficient, the camera
uses infrared illumination to support
black-and-white night-time surveillance.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Detection
Hikvision AcuSense technology uses
deep-learning algorithms to classify
humans and vehicles.
This helps distinguish important security
events from general environmental movement,
reducing unnecessary notifications.
Human and vehicle classification is particularly
useful for monitoring entrances, car parks,
driveways and commercial outdoor areas.
30m Infrared Night Vision
The camera incorporates infrared illumination
with a manufacturer-specified range
of up to 30 metres.
Infrared night vision allows surveillance
to continue in darkness without requiring
visible white-light illumination.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
The DS-2CD2166G2H-ISU features
120dB True WDR
to help balance bright and dark areas
within the same scene.
This is particularly useful for
doorways, building entrances and
locations exposed to strong backlighting.
Built-In Microphone
The integrated microphone supports
audio capture through compatible
Hikvision recording and monitoring systems.
Audio recording must be configured
and used in accordance with applicable
privacy and surveillance regulations.
2.8mm and 4mm Fixed Lens Options
The camera is available with
2.8mm and 4mm fixed-lens options.
The 2.8mm lens provides wider coverage,
while the 4mm lens offers a narrower
field of view.
The correct lens should be selected
according to the installation location
and required surveillance coverage.
H.265+ Video Compression
Hikvision H.265+ compression helps
reduce video storage requirements
and network bandwidth consumption
when used with compatible equipment.
This supports efficient recording
of high-resolution surveillance footage.
Local microSD Recording
The camera supports compatible
microSD cards up to
512GB.
Local storage can provide an additional
recording option alongside compatible
network video recorders.
Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet allows the camera
to receive network communication
and electrical power through
a compatible Ethernet connection.
This simplifies installation and
reduces the need for separate
power cabling.
IP67 Weather Protection
The camera features IP67-rated
protection against dust and
water ingress.
This makes it suitable for
properly installed indoor and
outdoor CCTV applications.
IK10 Vandal-Resistant Housing
The durable IK10-rated dome housing
provides enhanced protection against
physical impacts.
This makes the camera suitable
for exposed installation locations
where vandal resistance is important.
