Product SKU: Hikvision DS-2CD6944G1-IHSUY
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY 16MP Panoramic Turret Camera is designed for wide-area surveillance where a broad stitched view is required from a single camera position. It features a 180° panoramic stitched view, 2.8mm fixed lens and up to 20m IR illumination, making it suitable for open indoor or covered outdoor scenes such as foyers, entrances, retail floors, warehouses, car parks, corridors, schools and commercial facilities. The panoramic design helps reduce blind spots compared with standard narrow-view cameras. This model is best selected where wide scene awareness and high-resolution fixed coverage are required without installing multiple separate cameras.
Key Capabilities
16MP Panoramic Imaging
The DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY provides high-resolution panoramic surveillance for sites requiring broad visual coverage and clear scene awareness.
180° Stitched View
The 180° stitched panoramic view helps monitor wide areas from one camera position, reducing the need for several standard fixed cameras.
2.8mm Fixed Lens
The 2.8mm fixed lens supports wide-angle coverage, making it suitable for open spaces, entries and broad monitoring zones.
20m IR Illumination
Up to 20m IR illumination helps support night-time and low-light monitoring in suitable scenes when installed and aligned correctly.
Turret Camera Design
The turret form factor provides a practical fixed-camera design for professional CCTV installations requiring broad-area coverage.
Best For
- Wide-Area Surveillance: Suitable for monitoring broad scenes from one camera location.
- Retail and Commercial Spaces: Practical for shop floors, showrooms, receptions and open business areas.
- Warehouses and Facilities: Useful for aisles, loading areas, dispatch zones and operational spaces requiring panoramic awareness.
- Building Entrances and Lobbies: A good option where a 180° stitched view can help cover wide entry points and visitor movement.
- Camera Count Reduction: Best where one panoramic camera can replace multiple narrow-view cameras in suitable layouts.
Why Choose the DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY
The DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY is a strong choice when a CCTV installation needs wide-angle panoramic coverage with high image detail. Its 16MP resolution and 180° stitched view make it suitable for locations where broad scene awareness is more important than zooming into one narrow target area. The 2.8mm fixed lens supports wide coverage, while 20m IR assists monitoring in lower-light scenes where suitable. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, this camera should be selected after confirming mounting position, scene width, viewing distance, recorder compatibility, bandwidth, storage requirements, lighting conditions and whether panoramic stitched viewing suits the final surveillance objective.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 16MP panoramic turret camera with a 180° stitched view, 2.8mm fixed lens and up to 20m IR.
- Choose a different camera if: The site needs PTZ zoom, long-range identification, thermal detection, licence plate recognition, active deterrence, narrow corridor focus or a lower-bandwidth standard fixed camera.
- Check before ordering: Confirm the required view width, mounting height, target distance, NVR compatibility, network bandwidth, storage requirements, lighting conditions and whether a panoramic stitched view suits the site layout.
FAQs
- What is the Hikvision DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY used for?
The DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY is used as a 16MP panoramic turret network camera for wide-area surveillance. It is suitable for lobbies, entrances, retail floors, warehouses, corridors, open commercial areas and other locations where broad 180° scene coverage is required. - What does 180° stitched view mean?
A 180° stitched view means the camera provides a wide panoramic image by combining its viewing coverage into a single broad scene. This is useful when one camera needs to monitor a large area instead of using multiple narrow-view cameras. - What resolution does this camera provide?
This model provides 16MP panoramic imaging, giving it high-resolution scene coverage for wide overview monitoring and security review. - What lens does the DS-2CD6944G1-IHS/UY use?
The camera uses a 2.8mm fixed lens. This supports wide-angle coverage, making it suitable for panoramic monitoring rather than narrow long-distance zoom applications. - How far does the IR reach?
The camera supports up to 20m IR illumination. Actual night-time performance depends on the scene layout, mounting height, reflective surfaces, weather, lighting conditions and camera configuration. - When should I choose this instead of a standard turret camera?
Choose this model when the site needs broad 180° coverage and high-resolution panoramic awareness. A standard turret camera may be better for narrower views, longer target distances or lower-bandwidth installations. - Where should this panoramic camera be installed?
It can be installed in wide entrances, lobbies, retail spaces, warehouses, corridor intersections, schools, commercial buildings and broad monitoring zones. For systems supplied through Security Wholesalers, placement should be planned around full scene width, camera height and recorder capacity. - What should be checked before installation?
Before installation, confirm mounting height, view width, target distance, lighting conditions, IR reflection risks, network bandwidth, NVR compatibility, storage capacity, privacy masking requirements and whether 180° stitched panoramic coverage is the best fit for the location.
