A 3M model of the WDR fisheye network camera is also available - the DS-2CD6332FWD-I(S)(V). This 3M model features a 1/3” progressive scan CMOS sensor, 120 dB WDR (wide dynamic range), and streams video of up-to 1536 x 1536 resolution at 30 fps.

It's all about seeing more with just one camera than with multiple cameras. Case in point, a single 6M/3M IR fisheye network camera does the work of multiple cameras in both indoor and outdoor surveillance environments. Hikvision’s fisheye is designed to capture images from every corner of a particular location and eliminate blind spots with only its single camera. Both models are equipped with IR functionality, offering up-to 15m IR distance of visibility under low or even zero-light conditions. Features such as these make both fisheyes a great choice for detailed coverage of wide, open areas like airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices, restaurants, classrooms, and more. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art housing unit and IP66 rating protect the camera against outdoor elements like rain and dust, and allows it to confidently withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C.

The 6M/3M IR fisheye network camera supports multi-display (several viewing) modes, including the aforementioned 360° overview (in 6 megapixel resolution and 3 megapixel resolution, respectively), a horizontal panoramic view, PTZ quad window, and PTZ multi-window modes. Customers can also utilise this smooth PTZ functionality to easily zoom, and focus, on any region of interest (ROI).

Multiple streaming--MJPEG and H.264--video compression formats are supported. Additionally, these cameras feature multiple H.264 compression profiles, allowing users to optimise bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality. Furthermore, supporting ONVIF, PSIA, and CGI standards, both fisheye models offer the ability to easily integrate with other video surveillance equipment and systems.

Other features include a built-in micro SD/SDXC slot (with a total capacity of up-to 64Gb), a DI/DO interface to connect to alarm devices for further security control purposes, and an inbuilt high-quality audio intercom that allows two-way communication.

To further benefit the users, Hikvision has launched a fisheye camera and IP PTZ dome camera combo which elegantly provides a panoramic's 360° surround view while offering the capability for a detailed regional view from a speed dome; a solution designed to monitor wide areas in the great detail.
