Hikvision DS-2CE76D0T-EXIPF | 2 MP IR Analog Turret Camera 2.8mm

The DS-2CE76D0T-EXIPF(2.8mm) 2MP IR Analog Turret Camera ,is a security camera with a dome-shaped housing (turret design), suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. It offers high-definition video and night vision capabilities.

Components:

• Lens: (2.8mm likely refers to the focal length) This captures light from the scene being monitored. A 2.8mm lens typically offers a wider field of view.
• Image Sensor: This electronic device converts light into an electrical signal. The 2MP (megapixel) indicates the resolution of the camera (number of pixels captured).
• Image Processor: This chip processes the electrical signal from the image sensor to create a digital video image.
• Infrared (IR) Illuminator LEDs: These LEDs emit infrared light invisible to the human eye but can be picked up by the camera sensor. This allows the camera to capture images even in low-light or nighttime conditions.
• Network Interface Card (NIC): This chip allows the camera to connect to a computer network and transmit video data over Ethernet cable.
• Housing: The weatherproof housing protects the camera’s internal components (dome-shaped in this case).

How it Works:

1. Light Capture: The lens focuses light from the scene onto the image sensor.
2. Signal Conversion: The image sensor converts the light into an electrical signal.
3. Image Processing: The image processor processes the electrical signal to create a digital video image.
4. Daylight Operation: In well-lit conditions, the camera captures color images.
5. Low-Light Operation: In low-light conditions, the IR illuminator LEDs turn on and emit infrared light. The camera sensor can pick up this infrared light, allowing it to capture black and white images even in the dark.
6. Video Transmission: The camera transmits the digital video data over the network using the Ethernet connection. This data can be viewed live on a monitor or recorded for later playback.

Uses:

• Home Security: Monitoring entrances, exits, and common areas inside or outside a residence.
• Business Security: Surveillance of storefronts, offices, warehouses, and other commercial properties.
• Public Safety: Monitoring public spaces like parks, parking lots, and building exteriors.
• Remote Monitoring: Checking on a property remotely through a network connection and internet access.
