The Hikvision DS-2CD2466G2-I 6 MP cube camera offers sharp, detailed imaging and intelligent analytics in a compact form factor. With its 1/2.4″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor, it delivers a resolution of 3200 × 1800 and uses advanced AcuSense technology for accurate human and vehicle classification, reducing false alarms.
The 2.8 mm fixed lens provides a wide 105° horizontal field of view, making it suitable for covering small to medium-sized rooms. Its low-light capability (colour down to 0.003 lux, 0 lux with IR) ensures clear images in both day and night conditions.
The camera supports H.265+ video compression for efficient bandwidth and storage management, dual streaming, and flexible integration with NVRs or VMS platforms. Its minimalist cube design allows easy installation on desktops, walls, or ceilings, making it perfect for retail shops, office spaces, and residential properties requiring discreet monitoring.

Installer Tips
-
The 2.8 mm lens offers wide coverage — ideal for general indoor monitoring rather than long-distance viewing.
-
Mount at ~2.4 m height to maximise coverage and minimise glare or reflections.
-
Enable AcuSense analytics in setup to reduce false alerts from moving objects or pets.
-
Use H.265+ compression for efficient storage, especially on smaller NVRs.
-
For night use, ensure no reflective surfaces directly in front of the IR LEDs to prevent glare.
-
Configure motion detection zones to match room layout and lighting conditions.
-
Power via PoE when possible to reduce cabling and simplify installation.
-
Regularly clean the lens to maintain image clarity, particularly in dusty or kitchen environments.
