Corrosion selection

No specific anti-corrosion protection is assigned to this model. The generic top-level and moderate-grade examples are not this model rating.

Selection notes

• Manufacturer family reference for the explicitly listed complete models only; confirm the supplied lens, colour, hardware and firmware.
• DS-2CD2163G2-IS (-S audio and alarm interfaces only). These suffix-specific references do not apply to the base family member.
• Select the lens and colour explicitly; a Black ordering entry does not confirm the supplied colour. DORI distances are references, not identification guarantees.
• Third-stream operation depends on settings. External audio and alarm equipment require compatibility and load checks.
• Enclosure ratings do not establish coastal or chemical-corrosion suitability. Mounting parts and package contents require confirmation.
• ISD supplies products only. Confirm availability, price, lead time and local warranty separately.
• External line-audio interfaces do not establish a built-in microphone or speaker. Face detection is not face recognition.
