DS-2CD6425G2-C1 Hikvision Box IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD6425G2-C1 is a 2MP separated network camera designed for high-quality video monitoring with advanced image processing and efficient compression. It uses a 1/2.7″ progressive scan CMOS sensor and supports a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080. For low-light performance, the datasheet specifies a minimum illumination of Color: 0.005 Lux at (F1.2, AGC ON). The camera features 120 dB true WDR to help maintain clarity in high-contrast scenes, such as strong backlight conditions. To reduce bandwidth and storage requirements, it supports H.265+ (and H.265/H.264) video compression, with configurable bit rate control (CBR/VBR) and Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for H.264 and H.265.

In addition to video, the camera includes a mono audio interface (1 input / 1 output) and an alarm interface (2 inputs / 1 output). It offers HEOP support (Hikvision Embedded Open Platform), including the ability to import third-party applications. Onboard compute resources include 4 TOPS computing power, 60 MB system memory, 375 MB smart RAM, and 2 GB eMMC for sharing resources. The camera supports up to 20 simultaneous live view channels and provides extensive network compatibility and security features, including multiple authentication options and TLS support. Smart event capabilities include line crossing, intrusion, and region entrance/exit detection, plus face capture support under deep learning functions.
