Description
This is a 5.0 Megapixel 4 camera IP CCTV system by HIKVision, that is more than two Million pixels (100%) better than 1080P High Definition!
Night Vision
The cameras provide amazing image quality in full colour during the day and when it gets
dark the camera will automatically switch over to night vision mode - where it can see in total darkness up to 30 metre's.
Indoor or Outdoor?
The DS-2CD2155FWD-I is IP67 rated, this means the camera is weather resistant so can be installed outdoors with no concerns of getting damaged by the rain, you can of course install them indoors also.
When installing this camera outdoors, as with all domes, you need to protect the glass dome from the elements or else you might have night vision issues everytime it rains. So either install the camera so it is covered from rain, or try the wall mount brackets so the dome is facing down instead of outwards. There is also a rain proof cap (DS-1250ZJ) available.
Tip
Sleek Modern Design + IK10 Vandal Resistant
The cameras are quite small and compact so should not stand out like a sore thumb - they are also IK10 impact rated meaning they can take quite a beating, ideal if you need to position the camera low down where it might be subject to some vandalism.
Easy Installation
On top of the better than HD resolution, this is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) System. That means if the cameras are connected
directly to the PoE ports on the rear of the recorder - they do NOT need a power supply, but will be powered directly from the NVR.
This has many benefits, not least it can make installation extremely easy as all you need to do is run 1 Ethernet cable from each
camera to the recorder. Be aware PoE has a maximum working distance of 100 metre's.
The cameras can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and then pointed in the desired direction.
Internet / SmartPhone
All of our HIKVision IP systems can be connected to your router and configured so you can remote view them over the internet from a PC /
Mac or even your iPhone / Android.
PC / Mac software usually comes on a CD with the NVR or can always be downloaded from the
HIKVision website here - called iVMS-4200.
For your iPhone or Android phone you can visit your app store and download iVMS-4500.
Watching the Footage
Apart from viewing your cctv systems over the network or internet, the NVR also has a VGA and HDMI output meaning you could connect
a computer monitor (VGA) and / or HD TV (HDMI) directly to the NVR. If required, using the options above, you can add a HD or VGA Monitor to your
system.
When viewing your footage on one of these monitors you can select multiple views including one camera full screen and a split
view of all four cameras at once.
