IP camera Hikvision DS-2CD23166G3-IS2UY/SL(2.8)eFO-STDBLACK — 6 MP, 2.8 mm lens, IR, PoE

The Hikvision DS-2CD23166G3-IS2UY/SL(2.8)eFO-STDBLACK is a 6 MP network camera that provides high-resolution video for indoor and outdoor surveillance. With a fixed 2.8 mm lens and integrated infrared illumination, the camera captures wide-angle scenes and maintains visibility in low-light conditions. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support simplifies installation by combining data and power over a single cable, making the unit suitable for perimeter monitoring, retail spaces, offices and small-to-medium business security systems.

Advantages

This IP camera delivers 6 MP resolution for detailed image capture while the 2.8 mm lens offers a broad field of view for general-purpose monitoring. Infrared LEDs enable night-time or low-light operation without external lighting. PoE compatibility reduces cabling complexity and installation time. The camera's design supports both indoor and outdoor placement and is intended for continuous video recording and remote monitoring via network connection.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and entrance monitoring
• Retail and point-of-sale surveillance
• Office and common area monitoring
• Small-to-medium business security systems

Key specifications

• Image sensor: 6 megapixel resolution for high-detail video
• Lens: fixed 2.8 mm for wide-angle coverage
• Infrared illumination: integrated IR for low-light monitoring
• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for single-cable installation
• Network: IP camera with remote viewing and recording capabilities
• Mounting: suitable for indoor and outdoor placement

How to use

Install the camera at the chosen location ensuring the field of view covers the intended area. Connect the camera to a PoE-capable switch or injector to provide power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. Configure network settings and recording options using compatible NVR software or the camera's web interface. Adjust angle and focus as required for optimal framing; the fixed lens does not require manual focal adjustments but may require repositioning for framing changes.

Recommendations

For reliable low-light performance, position the camera where infrared illumination is not obstructed and use PoE power from a managed switch or PoE injector to ensure consistent operation; consider mounting height and angle to balance coverage and detail at the 2.8 mm focal length.
