## Long description

Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I(4MM) is a 4 MP bullet IP security camera designed for outdoor ceiling or wall mounting. It provides up to 2688 x 1520 resolution with Full HD 1080p video, a fixed 4 mm lens and a 1/3" CMOS sensor. The camera supports wired Ethernet with PoE and is built in a metallic housing with IP66 weather protection for reliable external use.
Advantages
The camera delivers high-resolution images up to 4 megapixels and supports dual video streams and H.264+ compression for efficient storage and transmission. It includes 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range and 3D Digital Noise Reduction to improve image clarity in challenging lighting, plus backlight compensation and an IR illumination reaching up to 30 m for low-light monitoring. The device features 3-axis adjustment for flexible installation and supports both DC12V and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Suitable for
Outdoor perimeter and property surveillance
Parking lots, entrances and building facades
Commercial sites requiring fixed-angle, weatherproof monitoring

How to use
Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling using the provided bracket and adjust its 3-axis position to set the required field of view (approximately 83° for the 4 mm lens). Connect the camera to a network switch or recorder via Ethernet; PoE can be used to supply power over the same cable, or connect a DC12V power source if PoE is not available. Configure video stream, encoding (H.264+ recommended for storage efficiency) and WDR/IR settings through the recorder or Hikvision web/manager software. Verify night-time coverage by checking IR activation and adjust angle if necessary.
Usage recommendations
Install the camera under a small overhang or use a sunshield to reduce direct rain and sun exposure. For best image quality in mixed-light scenes enable WDR, and select H.264+ to reduce bandwidth and storage needs. Ensure PoE power budget and network capacity are sufficient for the number of cameras connected.
