Read on to find out more about some of the IP cameras on offer with us.

 

Hikvision PoE IP PTZ Cameras

Hikvision IP PTZ Cameras

Hikvision’s IP PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) cameras use PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology which allow these cameras to be powered by the same ethernet that provides the network connection. This means that there’s no need for external power sources which in turn allows for more flexible video surveillance. With Hikvision’s PoE IP PTZ cameras you can deploy your camera between 50-100m away from a power source, with infrared LEDs and automatic IR cut filters providing effective remote day and night monitoring for operation in spaces such as forests, stadiums and and railways as well as large concert venues, airports and railways. In fact, the 1/2.8"progressive scan CMOS chip for real-time 1920×1080 resolution, and 15× optical zoom lens on cameras such as the DS-2DE4A215IW-DE2MP15×Network IR PTZ Camera, will ensure you’re offered greater optical detail over expansive areas.

 

Hikvision IP Dome Cameras

Hikvision IP Dome Cameras

Hikvision’s IP Dome cameras are the ideal choice for use with IP services and modern installations. These particular IP cameras offer robust and reliable indoor CCTV security with weather-proof, vandal-proof domes housing the camera lens. Much like their IP PTZ cameras, Hikvision’s IP Dome cameras are available with a variety of 2.8mm, 4mm and Grey 2.8mm lens options, coupled with Hikvision’s 1/2.8" HD progressive scan CMOS chip for high megapixel resolutions. Network dome cameras such as the DS-2CD2125FWD-I IP Dome Camera offer great ultra low light capabilities and provide smart feature sets including behaviour analysis, face detection, line crossing detection, intrusion detection and even object removal detection. This last feature can be particularly useful for monitoring objects in a pre-defined area such as in a museum or exhibition for example. The smaller form factor of these cameras can make it the camera of choice over slightly larger turret cameras.

 

Hikvision IP Turret Cameras

Hikvision IP Turret Cameras

Hikvision IP Turret cameras are a great choice for outdoor video surveillance use as they are weather-proof and offer ultra low-light capabilities. Turret cameras, sometimes known as ‘eyeball cameras’ have an added advantage of being versatile cameras without the risk of any potential glare from a glass housing. Hikvision’s DS-2CD2325FWD-I Ultra-low Light 2MP Turret Camera with IR for example provides SD card expansion for onboard storage as well as enhanced infrared capabilities along with Hikvision’s 1/2.8" HD progressive scan CMOS chip and progressive smart feature set such as intrusion detection and face detection.

 

Hikvision IP ANPR Cameras

Hikvision IP ANPR Cameras

Hikvision’s ANPR series of cameras such as the Hikvision DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS-P ANPR Camera offer ultra low-light capabilities and are able to capture vehicles and recognise vehicle number plates in low light conditions utilising Hikvision’s Darkfighter night vision technology to offer stunning colour and a wide dynamic range in near dark environments. Hikvision’s Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras successfully support capture and recognition of vehicles both approaching and leaving at speeds of up to 120km/h. For law enforcement, car park management and monitoring traffic flows these cameras are ideal, with capture rates exceeding 99% and recognition rates exceeding 98% in European regions.

 

Hikvision IP Thermal Bullet Cameras

Hikvision IP Thermal Bullet Cameras

Hikvision Thermal Bullet cameras provide thermal imaging and intelligent behaviour analysis. In-built pre-alarm systems can help discover unexpected events immediately. A valuable feature that can help protect against property loss. These IP cameras can be powered via Ethernet and contain leading image processing technology, as well as Hikvision’s advanced fire detection algorithm, bi-spectrum image fusion and picture in picture previews. These IP Thermal Bullet cameras are especially useful for perimeter security, commercial and rural settings, as well as airports, railways and power stations for example.

 

Hikvision Network Video Recorders

Hikvision Network Video Recorders

Hikvision’s series of 4K plug and play Network Video Recorders (NVRs) let you store, record, remotely view and manage your IP camera recording and settings from one central location. Manage settings such as configuration, information import/export, real-time information display and two-way audio. Hikvision’s NVRs such as the DS-7608NI-K2/8P 2 Bay 8 Channel Network Video Recorder support multiple IP cameras and up to 8MP resolution. NVR systems can be more versatile than DVR systems. They incorporate the newest technology and ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) technology suitably enhances the storage reliability even when the network is disconnected. These NVRs are also connectable to third party IP camera brands too, so if you have an existing IP camera, these NVRs are a flexible solution for network recording. Offering a variety of disk sizes, Hikvision are sure to please any budget.
