IP security camera Hikvision DS-2CD2723G2-IZS 2 MP (1920×1080), 2.8–12 mm varifocal, IR 40 m, IP67, IK10, PoE, MicroSD up to 256 GB

The Hikvision DS-2CD2723G2-IZS 1920 x 1080 is an outdoor dome IP security camera designed for wired surveillance installations. It provides Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution from a CMOS sensor and a motorized varifocal lens with a focal length range of 2.8–12 mm. The camera offers a wide horizontal field of view and a near-full rotational coverage, supporting ceiling or wall mounting in a white, weather-suitable housing.

Advantages

This camera delivers Full HD imaging at up to 30 fps, combining a wide horizontal viewing angle with a 355° rotation capability to cover large areas with fewer devices. The varifocal 2.8–12 mm lens allows on-site adjustment between wider scenes and more detailed close-ups without changing the camera. Wired Ethernet connectivity provides a stable network connection for continuous recording and remote monitoring. Motion detection is built in to enable event-triggered recording and alerts.

Suitable for

• Perimeter surveillance of residential or commercial properties
• Parking lots and outdoor vehicle storage areas
• Building entrances, pathways and courtyards
• Ceiling- or wall-mounted monitoring where wide coverage is required

How to use

Mount the camera to a suitable ceiling or wall surface using the manufacturer-recommended bracket and fasteners. Connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch or a compatible power source and to the network via Ethernet cable for both power and data if Power over Ethernet is available; otherwise use the specified wired power option. Access the camera through the integrated web interface or supported video management software to set resolution, frame rate, exposure and motion detection zones. Use the motorized 2.8–12 mm lens to adjust the field of view and focus, and perform test recordings to verify coverage and image quality.

Recommendations

For reliable outdoor operation, install the camera under a protective overhang where possible, use suitable weatherproof cable entries, and ensure correct camera angle and lens zoom to balance area coverage and identification distance. Configure motion detection sensitivity and schedules to reduce false alarms and integrate the camera with a network video recorder or cloud service for continuous archival and remote access.
