Hikvision 2MP 1080P Turbo HD Analog Dome Camera - Wide Angle Coverage

Our review of the Hikvision 2MP 1080p Turbo HD analog dome camera finds it is best for users who need clear, reliable fixed-angle surveillance without moving to network systems. The single biggest reason to buy is its straightforward compatibility with multiple analog DVR formats and a sharp 2MP image that gives good daytime color and usable B/W night images up to about 60ft. It is a practical choice for small businesses, homes, or installers replacing older analog domes who want higher resolution while keeping existing DVR equipment.

Key Features

• 2MP 1080p resolution: Delivers clear, high-definition video that improves identification and detail compared with older analog 960H cameras.
• 2.8mm wide angle lens: Offers broad coverage from a single dome, reducing the number of cameras required to monitor a room or entry.
• Multi-format output: Works with HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS (960H) DVRs so it can be integrated into many existing analog systems.
• IR illumination up to 60ft: Provides usable black-and-white surveillance in low light or night conditions for typical residential and small commercial scenes.
• IP67 metal housing: Weatherproof and robust for indoor or outdoor installation where durability matters.

Who It's For

The camera is aimed at homeowners and small business owners who want to upgrade to 1080p HD imaging without replacing an analog DVR, or installers maintaining mixed analog fleets. Its fixed 2.8mm lens and compact dome form factor suit ceiling or soffit mounts where a wide field of view is needed.

It is not for users who require network cameras, remote PoE power and NVR features, or motorized/varifocal lenses. If you need panoramic coverage beyond a single wide-angle view or advanced analytics found in IP systems, a dedicated network camera would be more appropriate.
