Hikvision DS-2XC6142FWD-IS 4MP Outdoor Anti Corrosion 316L Stainless Steel Dome Camera with IP67 & IR 10m 2.8mm 4mm 6mm

Product SKU: DS-2XC6142FWD-IS

Product Overview

The Hikvision DS-2XC6142FWD-IS is a 4MP anti-corrosion fixed dome network camera designed for outdoor surveillance in locations where salt, moisture and corrosive environmental conditions can shorten the service life of conventional camera housings. Its enclosure uses 316L stainless steel with an anti-corrosion coating, together with IP67 and NEMA 4X protection on the current C revision. A 1/3-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor delivers up to 2688 × 1520 resolution, with fixed 2.8 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm lens options available to suit different viewing requirements. True 120 dB WDR helps manage strongly backlit scenes, while integrated infrared provides night illumination. The current C revision specifies IR up to 15 metres, while earlier DS-2XC6142FWD-IS documentation lists 10 metres. PoE, onboard microSD storage and intelligent event functions complete the camera’s professional surveillance capabilities.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Coastal properties: 316L stainless steel and anti-corrosion protection suit installations exposed to salt-laden air and elevated corrosion risk.
• Ports and marine environments: Provides a more suitable camera enclosure where conventional metal housings can deteriorate more quickly.
• Industrial sites: Useful around manufacturing, processing and other locations where corrosive environmental conditions need to be considered.
• Outdoor commercial surveillance: IP67 protection, WDR and intelligent event functions support entrances, loading areas and external operational zones.
• Compact vandal-resistant-style installations: The stainless dome format provides a discreet fixed-camera footprint without relying on a large external housing.

Why Choose the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS

The DS-2XC6142FWD-IS is intended for surveillance projects where the camera enclosure itself needs to withstand more demanding environmental conditions than a standard outdoor model. Its 316L stainless-steel construction, anti-corrosion coating, IP67 protection and NEMA 4X rating on the current revision make it particularly relevant around coastal and industrial sites. The camera also provides practical surveillance features including 4MP resolution, true 120 dB WDR, fixed-lens options, IR night imaging, smart event detection, PoE and onboard storage. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is a strong option where long-term resistance to corrosion is a primary selection criterion rather than simply choosing a conventional dome based on resolution alone.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose the 2.8 mm version if: You need the broadest current field of view at approximately 98.5° horizontally.
• Choose the 4 mm version if: You want a more balanced field of view with greater target detail than the widest lens.
• Choose the 6 mm version if: You need a narrower 49.1° horizontal view and greater pixel density on a more distant area.
• Choose another camera if: The project requires built-in audio, active deterrence, motorised zoom or newer human and vehicle deep-learning classification.

FAQs

1. Is the Hikvision DS-2XC6142FWD-IS a 4MP camera?
   Yes. The current DS-2XC6142FWD-IS(C) specification uses a 1/3-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and provides a maximum resolution of 2688 × 1520, which is approximately 4MP. In a 50 Hz system it supports up to 25 fps at 2688 × 1520, 1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720. This makes it suitable for detailed general surveillance where corrosion resistance is as important as image resolution.
2. What lens options are available for the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS?
   The current C revision is available with fixed 2.8 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm lenses. The 2.8 mm option provides a 98.5° horizontal field of view, the 4 mm option provides 78.8°, and the 6 mm option provides 49.1°. Choose the lens around the required scene width and target distance rather than assuming the widest option is automatically best.
3. How far does the infrared night vision reach?
   Hikvision’s current DS-2XC6142FWD-IS(C) datasheet specifies infrared illumination up to 15 metres. Earlier DS-2XC6142FWD-IS documentation specified 10 metres, so installations using older stock may differ from the current C revision. If the exact IR distance is important to the project, confirm the supplied hardware revision before installation.
4. Is the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS suitable for corrosive outdoor environments?
   Yes. The camera uses a 316L stainless-steel enclosure with an anti-corrosion coating and is rated IP67 for resistance to dust and water ingress. The current C revision also carries NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection. These characteristics make it suitable for demanding outdoor environments where a conventional painted aluminium camera may not provide the preferred level of corrosion resistance.
5. Does the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS have built-in audio?
   No built-in microphone, speaker or audio input/output is specified in the current DS-2XC6142FWD-IS(C) datasheet. The camera does provide one alarm input and one alarm output for external event integration. Buyers should therefore treat this model as a video-focused anti-corrosion camera rather than assuming the “-IS” suffix means integrated audio hardware.
6. What smart analytics are built into the camera?
   The camera supports line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance detection, region exiting detection, scene change detection, unattended baggage detection and object removal detection. It also provides conventional motion detection, video tampering alarms and system exception events. These functions can help focus monitoring on defined activity around the protected scene without requiring a separate analytics appliance for basic event rules.
7. How much onboard storage does the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS support?
   The current C revision includes a built-in memory-card slot supporting microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 128 GB. Local storage can be used for recording and event capture and can complement supported NAS and Auto Network Replenishment functions. Storage capacity and card endurance should be selected around the actual recording workload rather than capacity alone.
8. What power and operating conditions does the DS-2XC6142FWD-IS require?
   The camera supports 12 V DC power at up to 5 W or PoE using IEEE 802.3af Class 3. It is specified for startup and operation from -30°C to 60°C with humidity below 95% non-condensing. When planning the camera through Security Wholesalers, also confirm the exact lens and hardware revision so IR range, mounting and accessory selection match the supplied unit.
