Third-stream reference

10 fps at 1920 × 1080, 1280 × 720, 640 × 480 or 640 × 360 under both frequency configurations, only under certain settings. Confirm actual stream configuration.

Main-stream compression

H.265, H.264, H.264+ and H.265+ are listed for the main stream. Check actual recorder/client mode.

Sub-stream compression

H.265, H.264 and MJPEG are listed for the sub-stream.

Third-stream compression

H.265 and H.264 are listed for the third stream, only under certain settings. No plus-codec entitlement is inferred on that stream.

Video bitrate range

32 Kbps to 16 Mbps configurable video bitrate; not guaranteed internet throughput or recording duration.

Bitrate control

CBR and VBR bitrate-control modes are listed; storage usage depends on actual settings and scene.

Scalable video coding

SVC is listed for H.264 and H.265 encoding; check actual recorder/client capabilities.

Region of interest

One fixed ROI region is listed for the main stream and sub-stream.

Built-in microphone

A built-in microphone is listed. The source does not specify microphone quantity, array configuration or an included external microphone.

Audio compression

G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, MP3 and AAC-LC are listed. Confirm actual recorder/client support.

Audio sampling

Audio noise filtering

Environment noise filtering is listed; no field-performance guarantee is implied.

Protocol-profile reference

The manufacturer lists Profiles S and G for Open Network Video Interface, plus ISAPI, SDK and ISUP. Confirm actual recorder/VMS functions; this is not universal interoperability.

One self-adaptive 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port; not Gigabit Ethernet.

On-board storage

A microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC slot up to 512 GB is listed for this exact model. A memory card is not assumed included; capacity alone does not determine retention days.

Reset key

A reset key is explicitly listed for this exact model.

Impact protection

IK10 is listed to IEC 62262:2002; not guaranteed resistance to every impact, damage or installation condition.

Anti-corrosion category

No specific anti-corrosion protection is assigned in the manufacturer application table. Check corrosive or coastal-site suitability separately.

Optional mounting references

Selection notes

• These references apply to the complete printed DS-2CD2163G2-IU model and its 2.8 mm or 4 mm fixed-lens choices. Confirm the supplied full label, region, hardware, firmware, lens, power and recorder configuration.
• Manufacturer references do not confirm stock, price, ETA, local warranty, authorisation, current firmware or Malaysian compliance. ISD supplies products only.
• Lens choices, memory cards, power supplies, mounts, mounting adapters, cables, software and recording services are not assumed included.
• Reference DORI and up-to light distances do not guarantee site identification or classification accuracy. Manual orientation is not motorized PTZ.
• Third-stream availability depends on settings. Confirm exact mounting assembly, power budget, lens, memory and recorder functions before ordering.
• The built-in microphone row does not state microphone count, array construction, speaker or two-way audio.
