Hikvision DS-2CD6626B/E-HIR5 2MP Outdoor IR Bullet

Hikvision DS-2CD6626B/E-HIR5 2MP Outdoor Anti-Corrosion IR Bullet IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD6626B/E-HIR5 is a professional-grade 2MP outdoor bullet camera engineered for harsh environmental conditions where corrosion and extreme weather pose significant challenges. Built with 316L stainless steel construction and certified to WF2, C5-M, and NEMA-4X anti-corrosion standards, this camera delivers reliable surveillance in coastal, industrial, and high-salinity environments where standard cameras fail. The IP67 rating ensures complete protection against dust and water ingress, while the integrated infrared system with up to 100m range (11-40mm lens) provides 24/7 visibility in complete darkness.

Key Features

• 2MP 1/1.8" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with 1920×1080 maximum resolution
• Extreme low-light performance: 0.0002 Lux (B/W) and 0.002 Lux (color) at F1.2
• Varifocal lens options: 3.8-16mm or 11-40mm with motorized zoom and focus
• IR range up to 100m with motorized IR cut filter and auto day/night switching
• Triple stream capability: Main (50/60fps), Sub, and Third stream for flexible deployment
• Advanced 3D DNR and 120dB wide dynamic range for exceptional image clarity
• PoE powered with optional 24V AC external power support
• IP67 rated with integrated heater for sub-zero operation (-40°C to +60°C)

Technical Specifications

The camera supports multiple video codecs including H.264, H.265, MJPEG, and MPEG4, with bitrate control from 32 Kbps to 16 Mbps for optimized bandwidth management. Video compression profiles include Baseline, Main, and High H.264 profiles. Audio capabilities include G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, and PCM compression formats. The camera features up to 4 configurable regions of interest per stream with dynamic tracking support, enabling intelligent focus on critical areas and reducing storage requirements.

Intelligent video analytics include behavior analysis, line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance/exit detection, unattended baggage detection, object removal detection, and exception handling. Motion detection, tamper detection, network disconnect alerts, and storage error notifications provide comprehensive system monitoring. The camera supports local storage via Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 128GB and NAS integration (NFS, SMB/CIFS).

Connectivity includes 1 10M/100M Ethernet port, RS-485, RS-232 interface, composite video output, and alarm I/O. The camera integrates full ONVIF Profile S and G compliance with ISAPI support, ensuring seamless integration with third-party VMS platforms and network infrastructure.

Applications

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The DS-2CD6626B/E-HIR5 represents a specialized solution for environments where standard IP cameras rapidly deteriorate. The 316L stainless steel housing and WF2/C5-M certification specifically address galvanic corrosion in salt-spray and chemical environments—a critical advantage for maritime and petrochemical applications. The extreme low-light specification (0.0002 Lux) combined with 100m IR range ensures effective night monitoring regardless of lighting conditions.

Triple stream support enables simultaneous high-resolution recording, lower-bandwidth remote monitoring, and analytics processing without CPU bottlenecks. The motorized varifocal lens eliminates site visits for focus adjustment, reducing deployment costs in remote or hazardous locations. Integration of behavior analytics and region of interest tracking on-device minimizes network bandwidth while enabling intelligent event detection, making this camera suitable for large-scale surveillance deployments with bandwidth constraints.
