HIKVSION DS-2CE76D0T-ITPF (2 MP Indoor Fixed Turret Camera 30M)

Key Features:

1. Resolution:

   • The camera features 2 Megapixels (1920×1080 resolution), which provides Full HD video quality. This ensures that you get sharp and detailed images for surveillance.

2. Lens:

   • The fixed lens typically comes with a 3.6mm focal length, though other lens options might be available. This provides a good balance between field of view (FoV) and image clarity, making it suitable for general surveillance purposes in indoor areas.

3. Infrared Night Vision:

   • The IR (infrared) LEDs on the camera provide a 30-meter (98 feet) night vision range. This allows for effective surveillance in low-light or completely dark environments, ensuring that you can monitor activity around the clock.

4. Turret Design:

   • The turret camera design is a type of dome camera with a ball-joint mount. It offers better flexibility than a traditional fixed bullet camera as it can be easily adjusted to change the camera’s field of view. This design is more discreet compared to bullet cameras, which makes it ideal for indoor areas where you want a less conspicuous surveillance camera.

5. Weatherproofing:

   • While this camera is designed for indoor use, it’s built with high durability, and it features IP66 weatherproofing, which makes it resistant to dust and moisture. This could be an advantage if the camera is used in an area with exposure to the outdoors (e.g., under an eaves or porch).

6. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR):

   • The camera supports Digital WDR, which is useful for balancing exposure levels in scenes with both bright and dark areas. For example, it can help with situations where there’s both strong light and shadows in the same frame (such as windows in view), allowing for clearer images in such conditions.

7. Compression Technology:

   • The H.264 video compression ensures that the video stream is compressed efficiently, allowing for optimal storage space and bandwidth usage without sacrificing video quality. The camera may also support H.265+ compression for even more efficient storage.

8. Video Output:

   • The DS-2CE76D0T-ITPF is part of the Turbo HD series, which means it uses analog coaxial cabling (BNC connectors) to transmit high-definition video. This makes it compatible with traditional analog CCTV systems while delivering HD video quality.

9. Vandal Resistance:

   • This camera is designed with durability in mind and offers some degree of vandal resistance thanks to its sturdy build. Although not as tough as specialized vandal-proof cameras, its robust construction helps it withstand physical impacts.

10. Easy Installation:

• The turret camera is easy to install, and its compact design allows for flexible placement. It is typically wall- or ceiling-mounted, offering users a range of installation options depending on the surveillance needs.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Indoor Surveillance: The DS-2CE76D0T-ITPF is primarily designed for indoor use, making it ideal for monitoring areas such as:
  • Offices: Secure the main office space or entrances.
  • Retail: Store aisles or checkout areas.
  • Homes: Monitoring the interior of a house or apartment, such as hallways, living rooms, or entrances.
  • Warehouses or Small Business Areas: Indoor spaces where good video quality is essential, but a discrete camera is preferred.
• Discreet Surveillance: The turret camera’s design allows for low visibility, which is useful in environments where a more subtle security solution is required.

Advantages of the Turret Design:

• Wide Field of View: The turret design typically offers a slightly wider field of view compared to traditional bullet cameras, which is useful for general surveillance purposes.
• Flexible Mounting: The camera is easier to mount at different angles, allowing you to adjust it after installation for optimal coverage.
• Discreet Appearance: The turret camera is generally less noticeable than larger, more prominent bullet cameras, making it ideal for surveillance without drawing too much attention.
