The DS-2CD2020F-I K17636 camera is dedicated for anyone who wants to build cost-effective IP CCTV system. The camera has been equipped with high quality 2 MP CMOS sensor providing perfect video even in low-light conditions and without visible lighting (in IR mode). A special feature of this model is very short housing, only 14 cm.

Thanks to H.264 compression, the data stream is minimized. The user can configure two independent streams (primary and secondary), as well as choose H.264 or MJPEG compression and limit the bandwidth within 32 kb/s to 16 Mb/s range.

The camera can operate outdoors or indoors. Its housing with high ingress protection rating (IP66) protects the electronics against adverse weather conditions. The built-in IR illuminator has a range of up to 30 m. The camera can be powered with a 12 VDC power source or via PoE (802.3af).

Ezviz (EasyVision) is a free service which can be activated in Hikvision NVRs and IP cameras. This free service allows less advanced users to easily access to the video from the cameras via the Internet, without forwarding router ports. To enable remote access, the user should only connect the device to the network (which requires a valid IP address and appropriate gateway settings). The next step is the creation of user account at the www.ezviz7.com website. The account can accommodate devices in a local area network (with activated Ezviz service). The devices will be available from anywhere via the Internet.
