Hikvision DS-2CD1321G0-I 2MP Turret camera

The DS-2CD1321G0-I(2.8mm) is a classic 2 MP (1080p) entry-level turret camera from Hikvision’s Value Series. It is widely considered the “workhorse” of small residential and retail installations in Egypt due to its reliability and extremely low cost.

While it lacks the advanced AI of the newer G2 and G3 series, it remains a top choice for projects where budget is the primary concern but professional IP quality is still required.

Hikvision DS-2CD1321G0-I: 2 MP Entry-Level Fixed Turret

Reliable 1080p Surveillance. Cost-Effective. Professional Night Vision.

This model is the ideal “starter” camera. It features a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens that provides a generous 94° horizontal field of view, making it perfect for monitoring small rooms, apartment entrances, or office corridors. Its turret design is preferred over standard domes for outdoor use because it effectively prevents IR glare from rain or dust on the lens.

Key Features & Benefits

• Full HD 1080p Resolution: Delivers crisp 1920 × 1080 video, providing clear general surveillance for day-to-day monitoring.

• Efficient Night Vision (EXIR 2.0): High-quality infrared technology provides clear black-and-white images in total darkness up to 30 meters, with better light uniformity than older LED styles.

• H.265+ Compression Support: Reduces bandwidth and storage usage by up to 75%, allowing you to store more footage on your NVR’s hard drive.

• 3D DNR & Digital WDR: Advanced image processing helps reduce “graininess” in low light and balances exposure in areas with tricky lighting (like a hallway near a bright door).

• Weatherproof IP67 Rating: The rugged housing is fully protected against the dust and rain of Egypt, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting.

• PoE (Power over Ethernet): Simplifies installation by allowing a single cable to provide both power and data, reducing the need for extra power sockets.
