IP security camera Hikvision DS-2CD1043G2-LIU (4 MP, 2.8 mm, IP67, PoE, 30 m IR)

Hikvision DS-2CD1043G2-LIU is a 4 MP bullet IP security camera with a fixed 2.8 mm lens, 2560×1440 maximum resolution and up to 25 fps. The camera supports wired connectivity via Fast Ethernet and power via PoE or 12 V DC. It features an IP67-rated housing for indoor and outdoor installation, 30 m IR night vision (850 nm), 120 dB wide dynamic range and 3D noise reduction to improve image clarity in varied lighting conditions.

Advantages

The camera provides high-resolution 4 MP video with H.265 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage. Its IP67 weatherproof housing and bullet form factor enable ceiling or wall mounting for versatile placement. Built-in security features include motion detection, privacy masking, digital watermarking and multiple user access levels. PoE support simplifies installation by combining data and power over a single Ethernet cable.

Suitable for

• Indoor surveillance of offices, shops and corridors
• Outdoor monitoring of entrances, parking areas and building exteriors
• Perimeter observation where extended IR night vision is required

How to use

Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling using appropriate fixtures and orient it within its pan (0–360°) and tilt (0–90°) ranges to cover the desired scene. Connect network and power using an Ethernet cable to a PoE switch or connect 12 V DC if PoE is not available. Access the camera via its web-based management interface or a compatible NVR/software to configure resolution, frame rate, motion detection, privacy masking and user accounts. Ensure network settings (IP, gateway, DNS) are configured to allow remote viewing when required.

Usage recommendations

Avoid direct contact with water and follow outdoor mounting best practices: place the camera under a small overhang if possible, seal cable entries, and use surge protection for exposed installations. Regularly check firmware updates and use strong passwords and appropriate user access levels to maintain security.
