2MP IP Cameras – Turret, Dome & PTZ for Installers
5 products in our Cameras range — trade-grade UK stock from CCTV Line.
2MP IP cameras
2MP (1080p) covers the widest mix of formats in one range here: analogue-compatible turrets, PoE IP turrets and domes, and a long-throw PTZ. Pick by signal type first, then by lens/optical requirement and power method.
How to choose
- Signal/interface — analogue-friendly AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS units suit upgrades on existing coax runs; native IP/PoE turrets and domes (Hikvision DS-2CD1327G2-LUF, DS-2CD2723G0-IZS) suit structured cabling installs.
- Lens type — fixed 2.8mm turrets (ColorVu, HDoC ranges) for set framing; motorised varifocal (DS-2CD2723G0-IZS) where zoom needs adjusting on site.
- Low-light tech — ColorVu and DarkFighter models are built for colour retention or extended range in low light; EXIR 2.0 covers standard IR illumination.
- PTZ requirement — the DS-2DE4A225IW-DE(S6) (PoE, 25× zoom) and DS-2AE5225TI-A-E (HD-TDVI, 25× zoom) cover pan-tilt-zoom coverage over wide areas, one IP one analogue/Turbo HD.
- Audio/covert — the Unbranded HD Audio Turret adds audio pickup; the smoke-alarm-form-factor unit suits discreet placement.
- Environmental rating — IP66/IP67-rated turrets and domes are specified for external mounting.
Cross-checking PoE budget, connector type (BNC vs RJ45) and NVR/DVR compatibility against existing infrastructure remains the key sizing step before order.
2MP — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the PoE and analogue-compatible 2MP cameras in this range?
PoE models (e.g. DS-2CD1327G2-LUF, DS-2CD2723G0-IZS) run over RJ45 network cable with power and data combined; AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS units run over coax for upgrading existing analogue systems.
Which 2MP camera is best for wide-area coverage rather than a fixed view?
The Hikvision DS-2DE4A225IW-DE(S6) PoE PTZ and the DS-2AE5225TI-A-E Turbo HD PTZ both offer 25x zoom for scanning larger areas, one over IP and one over analogue/HD-TVI.
What does ColorVu or DarkFighter mean on these product names?
They're Hikvision's low-light imaging technologies, built into models such as the DS-2CE72DF3T-PIRXOS and the 25x DarkFighter speed dome, aimed at improved colour or range in low-light conditions.
