Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW

Ultra high resolution matrix

The device is a modern high-level model focused on home video surveillance. The camera is distinguished primarily by the ultra-high resolution of the photosensitive matrix - as much as 3 megapixels, while this is a rarity among compact cameras. Such a high resolution makes it easy to see small details on an enlarged image fragment: denominations of bills, inscriptions and numbers, fine facial features, details of people's clothes, etc. important nuances.

Even at the maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536, the camera records video at an acceptable rate of 20 frames per second, and when working at Full HD resolution of 1920x1080, the frame rate increases to 25 per second. This makes it possible not only to shoot smooth video, devoid of discreteness, but also to successfully “grab” the desired frame from the video sequence, where fine details and nuances of the recorded event are best seen. Thanks to these features, the camera is perfect for security surveillance. It is appropriate to use it not only at home, but also in offices or shops for detailed surveillance of suspicious visitors so that they do not "pull" something inadvertently.

Security functions and push messages to a smartphone

Among the security functions of the camera are motion detection, offline video recording to a memory card when there is no network connection, immediate notification of an attempt to close the camera or disable it on the owner’s smartphone, etc. With the help of a built-in passive IR motion detector, the camera is able to detect a creeping person even in complete darkness, and infrared LED illumination makes it possible to record an intruder on video for visual identification. The range of the motion sensor and the IR sensor are the same - 10 m, which makes it possible to "close" almost any room or a small hall with surveillance.

If the camera performs the functions of security video surveillance, then when an alarm event is detected, it immediately sends the corresponding push messages to the owner's smartphone and performs video recording. Even if the connection with the local Ethernet network is interrupted for some reason, the camera will record information on a microSD memory card if it is previously installed in the device.

Mobile app

The case of the device has a very high-quality assembly and small size, despite the abundance of technical elements placed on the front panel - they fit the lens, motion sensor, backlight, microphone and speaker. An important advantage of the model over similar webcams is the presence of a speaker, thanks to which the interlocutor can hear you without special technical means. If the camera is installed at home, the built-in microphone and speaker allow it to be used for full audio-visual communication, similar to an intercom.

The camera easily connects to a wired computer network or a wireless Wi-Fi network, and an intuitive web browser interface or mobile application provides easy and convenient operation of the device. Remote interaction with the camera is carried out through the proprietary free cloud service Ezviz. The application allows not only to view the image from the camera in order to monitor young children or the elderly in the house, but also provides the possibility of "live" voice communication in real time. At the same time, Ezviz provides password protection and data encryption is carried out to prevent unauthorized access by unauthorized persons to the user's files.
