Comparison Hikvision DS-2CD1123G2-IUF 2.8 mm vs Hikvision DS-2CD1323G2-IUF 2.8 mm

ONVIF in this case is a set of rules (protocols) for the interaction of different components of a video surveillance system. This set was developed by the organization of the same name (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and is widely used in equipment from different manufacturers. In the case of cameras, this means that an ONVIF-compliant camera will be able to work properly with any brand of equipment, as long as it also supports this standard.

Ruggedized housing providing enhanced protection against damage attempts.

The specific degree of strength may vary. For example, many manufacturers use the IK standard for impact resistance. The highest rating in this standard is IK10, providing protection against impact with an energy of up to 20 J, which corresponds to a 5 kg load falling from a height of 40 cm; more detailed information on IK can be found in special sources. At the same time, cameras that do not have IK certification can also be positioned as vandal-resistant.

Note that even the most vandalism-resistant housing does not provide absolute protection against damage. However, this feature, anyway, significantly complicates the attacker's task and may even force him to give up trying to permanently spoil the camera. And the purposeful removal of the camera from the system turns out to be a rather difficult and long matter. And in some models, the increased strength of the case can be combined with other features — for example, a sensor that sends an alarm when attempts are made to damage the camera.
