The DS-2CD2720F-I K1737 camera comes from a new series of Hikvision products – HiWatch. This series of low-budget devices IP cameras and IP NVRS is dedicated for anyone who wants to build low-cost high-resolution IP CCTV system. The DS-2CD2720F-I ceiling camera has been equipped with high quality 2 MP CMOS image sensor providing perfect video even in low-light conditions.

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 kbps to 8 Mbps range.

The DS-2CD2720F 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).

The camera has microSD card slot. In connection with Hikvision IP NVRs the ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) solution developed by Hikvision company limits the recording on the card only to the periods of problems with connectivity between the camera and NVR. After the end of the failure the emergency recordings are automatically transferred to the NVR. The recording redundancy significantly increases the reliability of video surveillance systems.

Key features:

• Resolution: 2 MP (1920×1080)
• Functions: 3DDNR DWDR BLC
• IP rating: IP66
• IR range: up to 30 m
• microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card slot supporting cards up to 64 GB
• mechanically switching IR filter

The degree of protection (IK rating) provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against external mechanical impacts is defined in the EN 62262 standard. The EN 62262:2003 standard specifies the conditions of the testing procedure.
