RTMP stream and AAC codec support require the installation of dedicated
RTMP firmware, available in the "Available Downloads" tab.
The Hikvision DS-2CD2443G0-IW K17181 Cube camera is dedicated for use in CCTV systems based on IP DVRs. This model is based on a quality 4 MP image sensor and offers superior picture with high fidelity of color reproduction and low noise in the absence of lighting. Built in IR illuminator with 10 m range, based on EXIR technology ensures proper operation in low lighting conditions. The camera has an intelligent analysis function: face detection, virtual line crossing, detection of an intruder in a specific area. It offers customisable ROIs (the part of the image that will be transmitted with a higher quality than the rest of the frame). It is designed for indoor uses. The camera can be powered conventionally with 12 VDC or through PoE (compliant with the 802.802.3af standard).
Dedicated for video streaming (e.g. YouTube)
Once a special firmware (available in the "Available Downloads" tab) is installed, the camera will be able to support the RTMP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) stream, as well as AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) compression, allowing the data stream to be sent directly from the camera to the user's live streaming account on YouTube. The solution is particularly often used to stream church services in real time to large audiences.
Models that support the RTMP protocol and the AAC standard
Built-in microphone and speaker
The built-in microphone and speaker of the camera can be used for videoconferencing. The minimum requirements for the other side include a suitable PC with microphone and speaker/headphones, capable of receiving the video and voice via a browser or dedicated application.
PIR motion sensor
The built-in PIR motion sensor provides more reliability than video motion detection, especially in the case of an environment with reflections, objects moving in the wind, moving pets etc. The detection of motion by the PIR sensor can trigger e.g. recording of the video from the camera on a memory card (the camera supports microSD cards up to 128 GB) or by an NVR, or can activate the alarm output.
Wi-Fi or wired connection
The camera can be connected wirelessly (Wi-Fi, IEEE802.11 b/g/n) or via Ethernet port. The use of wireless connection is not recommended for applications in professional CCTV systems with video recording, due to a risk of interference and the influence of obstacles. The wireless connection is convenient in the case of live monitoring and videoconferencing.

More technologies supported
EasyIP 2.0plus
The model belongs to a new series, EasyIP 2.0plus, that can be placed somewhere between Easy IP 2.0 a Easy IP 3.0. The cameras of the series support modern compression methods (H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264), has housings like the EasyIP 3.0 series, including EXIR IR illuminators. The models with fixed or variable focal length use 1/2.7", 1/2.8" or 1/3" image sensors with 2, 4, 6 or 8 MP resolution. The integrated image analysis functions (VCA) including face recognition, intrusion and line crossing detection, allow for applications in advanced video surveillance projects.
H.265(+) compression

H.265(+): greater compression with H.264 video quality
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.
Continuous recording guaranteed with the ANR function

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 DVR.
Convenient client software
iVMS-4200 is a client software dedicated for the management of Hikvision systems such as NVRs (IP, TurboHD), video intercoms, access control, decoders, etc. The software makes it easy and convenient to control all the systems, providing a live view from IP cameras, remote playback, remote configuration, alarm event support, two-way audio transmission, e-maps, HDD recording, and many other functions. The app allows to manage up to 256 devices and streamed footage from 64 cameras on up to 4 monitors.
Access via mobile devices
Hikvision devices can be operated via mobile phones with Android or iOS using the dedicated Hik-Connect mobile application. It can be used for remote live viewing from DVRs, NVRs, IP cameras, video intercoms over the WiFi, 2G or 3G and to view saved recordings. Operating video intercoms with the application provides also remote opening of the electric strike, receiving notifications and transferring calls from the entrance panel to the phone in the absence of the subscriber. The application supports connectivity over IP and a P2P cloud. Hik-Connect is also the name of the cloud service that provides access to devices in the absence of an external IP address.
Advanced applications for organizing and operating CCTV systems
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.
