Hikvision 2MP Covert IP Camera 2.8mm 2m

The Hikvision 2MP Separated Network Camera with a 2.8mm lens is designed for discreet and flexible video surveillance installations where a compact camera head and separate main body are required. It delivers Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, clear image quality and reliable network connectivity for security monitoring.

Equipped with 120 dB True WDR, the camera helps capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions, including scenes with strong backlighting. Its H.265+ compression technology helps reduce bandwidth and storage requirements, while 3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D DNR) minimises image noise for cleaner footage.

The 2.8mm lens provides a wide viewing angle, making it suitable for monitoring indoor areas and other locations where broad scene coverage is needed. The camera also supports audio and alarm connections, MicroSD card storage of up to 256GB, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and a range of intelligent event detection functions.
