Hikvision DS-2CD6984G0-IHS 32MP 180° Panoramic Dome

Hikvision DS-2CD6984G0-IHS 32MP 180° Panoramic Multi-Sensor Dome IP Camera

The Hikvision DS-2CD6984G0-IHS is an ultra-high-definition panoramic surveillance camera engineered for large-scale outdoor monitoring. Featuring eight 4MP sensors that collectively deliver 32MP resolution with an expansive 180-degree horizontal field of view, this multi-sensor dome eliminates blind spots and reduces infrastructure complexity. The seamless image stitching technology creates a unified panoramic view, providing comprehensive coverage ideal for parking facilities, perimeter security, transportation hubs, and commercial complexes.

Key Features

• 32MP total resolution (8x4MP multi-sensor configuration)
• 180° panoramic field of view with 95° vertical coverage
• 2.8mm fixed focal length lenses with F1.4 aperture
• Maximum resolution: 8160 × 3616 pixels at 30fps
• IR illumination with four IR LEDs (850nm) for 20m range
• Exceptional low-light performance (0.0009 Lux B/W with IR)
• H.265/H.264 video compression for bandwidth optimization
• IP67-rated, IK10-rated rugged aluminum alloy design
• PoE powered (IEEE 802.3at, max. 23W)
• Built-in microSD card slot (up to 128GB)

Technical Highlights

The camera leverages progressive scan CMOS 1/1.8" sensors with exceptional detail recognition. DORI specifications at 2.8mm reach 91.4m detection distance, 36.3m observation, 18.3m recognition, and 9.1m identification. Advanced imaging enhancements include digital WDR, 3D DNR, backlight compensation (BLC), and fog removal to maintain clarity across challenging lighting conditions.

Video compression options include H.265 Main Profile and H.264 (Baseline, Main, High Profile) with bitrate flexibility from 32Kbps to 16Mbps. The panorama mode supports native 8160×3616 at 30fps (60Hz), with additional original mode options up to 4K resolution. Simultaneous live view supports up to 20 channels with Full HD web browser access (IE8+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet (auto-adaptive 10M/100M/1000M), comprehensive protocol support (TCP/IP, RTSP, RTCP, HTTPS, FTP, DDNS, IPv6), and open API standards (ONVIF Profile S/G, ISAPI). The -S variant includes dual audio I/O, RS-485 interface, and alarm I/O for integrated systems integration. Environmental operating range: -40°C to +60°C with 95% humidity tolerance and built-in heater for extreme conditions.

Applications

• Parking lot and vehicle monitoring
• Perimeter security and fence-line surveillance
• Traffic and transportation hub monitoring
• Large-scale commercial property coverage
• Public spaces and municipal surveillance
• Wide-area campus and facility security

This panoramic multi-sensor platform delivers enterprise-grade wide-area coverage without the complexity of coordinating multiple fixed cameras. The 180-degree horizontal span and 95-degree vertical coverage, combined with 32MP aggregated resolution, creates forensic-grade detail across expansive areas. The F1.4 aperture and four IR LEDs ensure 24/7 operability even in no-light conditions, with B/W sensitivity reaching 0.0009 Lux—appropriate for secure perimeter applications.

H.265 encoding reduces storage by 50% compared to H.264 while maintaining quality, critical for long-term archival. IP67/IK10 certification and aluminum construction withstand harsh outdoor environments. The PoE architecture simplifies deployment over single Gigabit cable runs.

Integration support through ONVIF and ISAPI enables vendor-agnostic NVR/VMS compatibility, ensuring scalability within existing security ecosystems.
