Higher-resolution footage can assist when reviewing:
- People
- Clothing
- Vehicles
- Driveways
- Entrances
- Property Activity
- Commercial Areas
- Objects
- Security Incidents
Powered-by-DarkFighter Technology
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU features Hikvision's Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, designed to improve image performance in challenging low-light environments.
The combination of a high-performance 1/2.4-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and ultra-wide F1.0 aperture enables the camera to capture more available light.
Hikvision specifies minimum illumination of:
Colour: 0.001 Lux @ F1.0, AGC ON
B/W: 0 Lux with IR
This makes the camera particularly suitable for areas where ambient lighting may be limited.
Ultra-Wide F1.0 Aperture
The camera incorporates an exceptionally bright F1.0 fixed-aperture lens.
The wide aperture allows more available light to reach the image sensor, supporting better image quality in challenging low-light environments.
Typical applications include:
- Driveways
- Car Parks
- Building Entrances
- Warehouses
- Side Access
- Commercial Properties
- Property Perimeters
- Low-Light Outdoor Areas
Deep-Learning Human & Vehicle Classification
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU uses deep-learning technology to distinguish between human and vehicle targets during supported security events.
Rather than treating all movement within the scene as equally important, the camera can focus supported event detection on:
- Humans
- Vehicles
This can help reduce unnecessary security events caused by irrelevant movement such as:
- Animals
- Leaves
- Rain
- Shadows
- Changing Lighting
- Other Non-Target Movement
Intelligent Motion Detection
Human and vehicle target classification can be used with compatible motion detection functions to provide more meaningful security events.
When correctly configured with a compatible Hikvision NVR or surveillance platform, this can help improve:
- Event Accuracy
- Security Notifications
- Recorded Event Searching
- CCTV Monitoring Efficiency
Intelligent Perimeter Protection
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU supports intelligent security functions including:
- Line Crossing Detection
- Intrusion Detection
- Region Entrance Detection
- Region Exit Detection
Supported events can classify specified human and vehicle targets.
This allows professional installers to create intelligent monitoring rules around:
- Driveways
- Gates
- Property Boundaries
- Side Access
- Restricted Areas
- Car Parks
- Loading Areas
- Building Entrances
Face Capture
The camera supports face capture functionality.
Face capture should not be confused with facial recognition. Face capture allows the camera to capture facial images, while facial recognition and database matching depend on compatible back-end equipment and system configuration.
120dB True Wide Dynamic Range
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU features 120dB True WDR, helping maintain usable image detail where bright and dark areas appear simultaneously within the same scene.
This is particularly useful around:
- Building Entrances
- Garage Entrances
- Covered Driveways
- Shopfronts
- Loading Areas
- Areas Facing Bright Daylight
- High-Contrast Indoor/Outdoor Scenes
Smart IR Night Vision – Up to 40m
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU incorporates 850nm infrared supplementary lighting with a specified range of up to 40 metres.
This provides greater IR reach than many standard fixed turret cameras and makes the mini bullet particularly suitable for monitoring longer outdoor areas.
Smart Supplement Light technology helps optimise IR illumination according to the monitored scene.
Typical applications include:
- Long Driveways
- Side Access
- Building Perimeters
- Car Parks
- Warehouses
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Properties
- Outdoor Access Routes
Built-In Microphone
The -IU version includes a built-in microphone for real-time audio security.
This allows compatible Hikvision recording systems to capture audio together with surveillance footage, providing additional context when reviewing security incidents.
Integrated audio can be useful around:
- Building Entrances
- Driveways
- Warehouses
- Retail Premises
- Offices
- Workshops
- Commercial Properties
Audio recording should always be configured and used in accordance with applicable privacy and surveillance requirements.
2.8mm & 4mm Fixed Lens Options
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU is available with 2.8mm and 4mm fixed lens options.
2.8mm Lens
Approximate field of view:
- Horizontal: 114.8°
- Vertical: 60°
- Diagonal: 143.5°
The 2.8mm lens is generally suitable for wider surveillance areas such as:
- Driveways
- Front Yards
- Entrances
- General Outdoor Areas
- Wide Indoor Areas
4mm Lens
Approximate field of view:
- Horizontal: 94°
- Vertical: 50.2°
- Diagonal: 112°
The 4mm lens provides a narrower field of view for more concentrated surveillance areas.
DORI Distance
Hikvision specifies approximate DORI performance as follows:
2.8mm Lens
- Detect: 64m
- Observe: 25m
- Recognise: 12m
- Identify: 6m
4mm Lens
- Detect: 77m
- Observe: 30m
- Recognise: 15m
- Identify: 7m
Actual performance depends on camera position, installation height, lighting, target movement and environmental conditions.
H.265+ Video Compression
The camera supports Hikvision's efficient H.265+ video compression technology, helping reduce network bandwidth and recording storage requirements.
Supported compression includes:
- H.265+
- H.265
- H.264+
- H.264
- MJPEG on supported streams
The main video stream supports a configurable bit rate from 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps.
Multiple Video Streams
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU supports multiple video streams for different recording and viewing requirements.
These can be used for:
- High-Resolution NVR Recording
- Remote Viewing
- Mobile Viewing
- Secondary Monitoring
- Bandwidth Management
A third stream is supported under certain camera settings.
Hik-Connect Remote Access
When connected to a compatible Hikvision system and correctly configured, the DS-2CD2066G2H-IU can form part of a remote surveillance system using Hik-Connect.
Depending on the complete system configuration, users can access functions such as:
- Live Viewing
- Recorded Playback
- Event Monitoring
- Security Notifications
- Audio Monitoring
PoE Network Connectivity
Power over Ethernet allows both network data and operating power to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable when connected to compatible PoE equipment.
This simplifies professional installation and makes the camera suitable for connection to:
- Hikvision PoE NVRs
- PoE Network Switches
- Professional IP CCTV Networks
IP67 Weather Resistance
The DS-2CD2066G2H-IU carries an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, making it suitable for properly installed outdoor CCTV applications.
Typical locations include:
- Driveways
- Building Entrances
- Car Parks
- Warehouses
- Loading Areas
- Commercial Buildings
- Side Access
- Property Perimeters
Compact Mini Bullet Design
The compact mini bullet form factor provides a professional and clearly visible CCTV presence without requiring the larger housing of a traditional full-size bullet camera.
The adjustable mounting design allows:
- Pan: 0° to 360°
- Tilt: 0° to 90°
- Rotation: 0° to 360°
This provides flexibility when positioning the camera for walls, ceilings and other suitable mounting surfaces.
