Hikvision constantly brings advanced technology to the realm of top-class surveillance systems. The latest in the line is the Hikvision DS-2CD2143G0-I, meant to succeed the field-favorite DS-2CD2142FWD-I. The 4MP IP Vandal Dome Camera with H.265+ compression, EXIR night vision, and True WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) features makes it most suitable for outdoor surveillance. The article will cover the main features, specifications, and general positives about making this model an upgrade.
Key Features of the Hikvision DS-2CD2143G0-I
1. Enhanced Video Quality with 4MP Resolution
The DS-2CD2143G0-I gives footage sharp and clear with its 4MP (2688 x 1520) resolution. It means you can get even the finer details. This higher resolution is a significant upgrade for just about anyone who wants superior image clarity for object and person identification.
2. H.265+ Video Compression
By using H.265+ compression technology, the DS-2CD2143G0-I saves bandwidth and storage space by more than 75% compared with H.264. The advanced technology increases the recording time without compromising the quality of the video and makes the system cost effective for large-area surveillance installations.
3. EXIR Night Vision Technology
The IR illumination is enhanced with built-in EXIR technology which provides the camera with night vision up to 30 meters (98 feet). Imaging would be bright and equally illuminated in total darkness making the camera suitable for 24-hour outdoor monitoring.
4. True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Thanks to the True WDR feature (120 dB), light and dark areas in the video frame can be balanced to capture bright or shadowed scenes in optimum clarity. This function proves extremely beneficial for locations with difficult lighting conditions such as an entrance or parking lot.
5. Durable Vandal-Resistant Design
DS-2CD2143G0-I is encased in vandal-proof construction, IK10 standard. The device is tamper-proof and resistant to physical damage, making it highly suitable for high-risk locations in which malicious damage is a concern.

6. 2.8mm Fixed Lens for Wide-Angle Coverage
This model is equipped with a 2.8mm fixed lens that provides a wide field of view, up to 103°. This wide field of vision clearly eliminates several potential blind spots, guaranteeing that fewer cameras will be needed for complete coverage.
7. Weatherproof for Outdoor Use
The camera has an IP67 rating for weatherproofing and can therefore confront harsh environmental conditions, being affected by rain, dust, and extreme temperatures. This feature makes the camera perfect for outdoor installation inside residential and commercial buildings.
