Hikvision DS-2CD2523G2-IS 2.8mm 2MP AcuSense Dome IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD2523G2-IS is a high-performance 2MP AcuSense dome IP camera designed for indoor and outdoor surveillance. With a 2.8mm fixed lens, it delivers a wide 107° horizontal field of view, making it ideal for monitoring open areas. Powered by Hikvision's AcuSense technology, it accurately distinguishes humans and vehicles from other moving objects, reducing false alarms and improving security efficiency. The camera features 120 dB true WDR for clear imaging in high-contrast scenes, and IR illumination up to 30m for 24/7 monitoring. Its IP67 and IK08 ratings ensure durability against dust, water, and vandalism. The camera supports H.265+ compression to save bandwidth and storage, and includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. With PoE (802.3af) and 12VDC power options, it offers flexible installation. The integrated microSD slot supports up to 256GB for local storage.
