Hikvision - IP66 Rated CCTV Cameras

IP66 means a camera is dust-tight and rated against powerful water jets, so these Hikvision models can be mounted in exposed outdoor positions. The range includes speed-dome PTZ cameras with 15× and 25× optical zoom, compact mini PTZ domes, motorised PTRZ domes, a motorised turret, a Wi-Fi bullet and a covert camera, and several, such as the DS-2DE3404W-DE(T5), also carry IK10 vandal resistance.

Choosing Hikvision - IP66 Rated CCTV Cameras

Start with how much of the scene the camera must cover and how far it must see, then check power, cabling and mounting.

Speed-dome PTZ cameras

For car parks, yards and perimeters, a PTZ can pan, tilt and zoom onto a target. The DS-2DE4215IW-DE(T5) is a 2 MP network PTZ with 15× optical zoom, 100 m of infrared and AcuSense human and vehicle classification, and the DS-1618ZJ wall bracket is supplied in the box. The DS-2DE5225W-AE (T5) steps up to 25× optical zoom with DarkFighter low-light imaging, IK10 vandal resistance and power from 24 VAC or PoE+. On Turbo HD systems, the DS-2AE4215TI-D(E) gives 15× zoom and IR up to 100 m, and the DS-2AE5225ITG gives 25× zoom and IR up to 150 m with switchable analogue outputs.

Mini PTZ and PTRZ domes

The DS-2DE3404W-DE(T5) is a compact mini PTZ with a 4 MP sensor, a 2.8–12 mm varifocal lens with 4× optical zoom, IK10 and PoE or 12 VDC power. The DS-2DE3A400BW-DE(F1)(T5) is a 4MP PTZ with 24/7 colour imaging, white light up to 30m, a built-in microphone and speaker. PTRZ domes pan, tilt, rotate and zoom by motor for easier installation: the DS-2CD2746G2H-IPTRZS2U/SL and DS-2CD2786G2H-IPTRZS2U/SL use DarkFighter for low light and add an active strobe light and audio alarm, and the DS-2CD2747G2H-LIPTRZS2U/SL uses ColorVu with smart hybrid light.

Turret, bullet and covert models

The DS-2CD2H26G2-IZS is a 2 MP AcuSense turret with a motorised 2.8–12 mm lens, IR up to about 40 m and IP66 and IK10 ratings. The DS-2CV2041G2-IDW is a 4MP bullet that connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and has two-way audio. The DS-2XM6825G1/C-IS(2MM) covert camera is rated IP66 and IK08.

Frequently asked questions

What does IP66 mean on a camera?

IP66 usually means a camera is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. In the code, the first six is the top grade for dust and the second six covers strong jets such as driving rain or a hose. For a camera that may be briefly submerged, look for a rating whose second digit is seven or eight instead.

Can IP66 CCTV cameras be used outdoors?

Yes, an IP66 CCTV camera is typically built for outdoor mounting, because the rating covers dust and heavy rain. Fit it under an eave where you can, keep cable joints dry, for example inside a junction box, and check the operating temperature range for exposed sites. The range here includes PTZ and dome cameras, a turret and a bullet camera.

What types of IP66 CCTV camera are there?

IP66 CCTV cameras include fixed bullets, turrets and domes, motorised PTRZ domes, and speed domes that pan, tilt and zoom by remote control. A fixed camera suits a set view such as a doorway or drive, while a PTZ can follow activity across a large open site. Some IP66 cameras also carry an IK10 rating for vandal resistance.
