Ceiling IP Camera: Hikvision Hikvision DS-2CD1H23G0-IZ (2 MP, 2.8-12mm Motozoom, 0,01 lx, IR up to 30m, H.265/H.264)

The Hikvision DS-2CD1H23G0-IZ ceiling camera is dedicated for use in CCTV systems based on IP NVRs. The camera is fitted with an 2 MP 1/2.7” CMOS sensor and an IR illuminator with a range up to 30 m ensuring proper visibility in low- EXIR 2.0 technology. It has a varifocal 2.8-12 mm Motozoom type lens, enabling remote viewing angle change in the range 108.5-33.2°. The IP67 rated housing protects the inside electronic components from adverse weather conditions. The camera can be powered conventionally with 12 VDC or through PoE (compliant with the 802.802.3af standard).

The camera implements several video compression methods, H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264, MJPEG. Compared to H.264, the H.265 standard can reduce the data stream by half, which translates into proportional disk space savings and extended data retention time. H.265+ and H.264+ are Hikvision compression standards based on the original systems and optimized for CCTV applications. They further minimize the streams in typical video surveillance scenarios, compared to H.265 and H.264. With some video compression methods implemented, the camera can be used in CCTV systems based on modern NVRs implementing the H.265 standard (the DS-76/77/96NI-I/K series supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264). Legacy devices using the H.264 (the DS-76/77NI-E series supports H.264+, H.264) are also supported.

With the support of ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment), an IP camera with a memory card can record videos even in the absence of network connection. Once the network connection is restored, the recordings will automatically synchronize with the material recorded with the NVR. This ensures a continuous coverage of events, even in the event of communication problems between the camera and the NVR.

Various applications intended for the installers and operators/users of video surveillance systems based on Hikvision devices are described in our library.

SADP (Search Active Device Protocol) is a free, easy-to-use utility designed to search for Hikvision IP cameras and DVRs/NVRs in the local network. The network device search tool can also be used to modify device network parameters, e.g. to change or recover default passwords. Detailed information on the software, its use and password recovery (par. 8) can be found in the following article: SADP application - LAN tool for organizing CCTV systems based on Hikvision devices.
