IP security camera Hikvision DS-2CD2T43G2-4I Bullet, 4 MP (2688×1520), 2.8 mm, IR 80 m, WDR, PoE, IP67

The Hikvision DS-2CD2T43G2-4I is a 4 MP bullet IP security camera designed for outdoor and indoor ceiling or wall installation. It features a 2.8 mm fixed lens with a diagonal field of view of 122°, progressive CMOS sensor, H.265 video compression and a maximum resolution of 2688 x 1520 at 30 fps. The camera supports day/night operation with IR illumination up to 80 m, Wide Dynamic Range and built-in privacy masking. Power can be supplied via DC or Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), and the housing is aluminium with an IP67 rating for weather resistance.

Advantages

This bullet camera provides high-resolution 4 MP video with efficient H.265 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage usage. Outdoor-ready IP67 construction and aluminium housing ensure durability in harsh environments. Built-in IR LEDs and a low-light capable CMOS sensor enable continuous surveillance both day and night. Network features such as PoE support, QoS and web-based management facilitate easy integration into wired security systems, while on-board microSDHC storage (up to 256 GB) allows local recording.

How to use

Mount the camera on a ceiling or wall using appropriate fasteners and orient the fixed 2.8 mm lens toward the monitored area. Connect network and power via Ethernet using PoE or supply 12 V DC with capable power source; connect the RJ-45 port to the network for video streaming and web-based management. Configure image settings, motion detection, IVS rules (intrusion/line crossing/face detection) and privacy masking through the camera web interface. Insert a compatible MicroSDHC card for local recording if required.

Recommendations

Install the camera at a height and angle that maximize coverage while minimizing obstructions; enable WDR and IR as needed for scenes with strong backlight or low light. Use PoE for simplified power and network cabling, and configure QoS on the network to prioritise video traffic. Regularly check firmware and secure access with strong passwords and HTTPS to maintain system security.
