Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I 8MP DarkFighter PoE IP Turret Camera 2.8mm

The Hikvision DS-2CD2385G1-I is an 8MP Powered-by-DarkFighter fixed turret network camera designed to deliver ultra-high-definition surveillance with enhanced low-light performance. The camera uses a 1/2" progressive scan CMOS sensor capable of producing video resolution up to 3840 × 2160, allowing detailed identification of subjects in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Powered-by-DarkFighter technology improves low-light sensitivity, enabling colour imaging in minimal illumination and maintaining image clarity in challenging lighting environments. According to the specification table on page 2, the camera uses a fixed 2.8mm lens providing a wide 110.7° horizontal field of view, making it suitable for entrances, perimeter protection, and open-area monitoring. Infrared illumination provides night vision coverage up to 30 metres, ensuring reliable surveillance in complete darkness. The camera supports 120 dB true Wide Dynamic Range, allowing clear imaging in high contrast scenes such as doorways and areas with strong backlighting. H.265+ compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing video quality. The camera includes a built-in microSD card slot supporting up to 128GB for local storage. Power over Ethernet support simplifies installation by combining power and data transmission through a single cable. The IP67-rated full metal housing provides reliable outdoor protection against dust and water ingress.
