Small and medium businesses rely on video cameras to protect their operations around the clock.
In a coffee shop, for example, the owner may require one camera to monitor the counter and another for the dining area during business hours. At the end of the day, he might adjust one of the cameras to keep an eye on the shop entrance at night.
Installing two cameras brings its own set of challenges:
Our unique dual-lens Point-to-Point Zoom camera solves these challenges in one shot.
This new dual-lens IP camera enables users to meet dynamic business security needs with just one device. Installers benefit from the simplicity of a single-camera, one-cable installation solution while delivering two independent video channels.
The camera redefines video monitoring flexibility. Thanks to Hikvision's exclusive Point-to-Point Zoom technology, each rotatable lens offers two focal lengths – 2.8 mm and 4 mm – that can be freely switched through zoom operations. This eliminates the need to choose between fixed-focal-length camera options, providing SMB scenarios with the just right zoom capability.
With dual varifocal lenses, users can configure one camera to deliver four distinct coverage solutions (four types of combinations with the two lenses).
Imagine installing this dual-lens network camera in a grocery store: the store owner can adjust both the angle and monitoring distance of each lens separately as shelf arrangements change. This ensures that important merchandise zones maintain continuous protection.
Combining two lenses in one structure doesn’t complicate wiring. Hikvision has engineered an innovative structure for connecting and routing the cables inside the camera housing. It offers IP67 water resistance and eliminates the need for junction boxes.
The included quick mounting plate ensures remarkably straightforward installation.
This camera represents a new choice and many benefits:
Security cameras in coastal areas face corrosion from salty ocean air, causing white spots, peeling coatings, or component cracks within a short period of time. Traditional aluminum alloys cannot withstand these harsh conditions, leading to:
For the first time in the industry, Hikvision has used anti-corrosion aluminum to achieve comprehensive camera protection. The material has passed the NEMA 4X test and 40 hours of Neutral Salt Spray Test (simulating two years of natural corrosion in coastal environments), proving exceptional performance in harsh conditions:
*Test results from Hikvision lab
Hikvision’s anti-corrosion aluminum, as a camera material, brings three advantages:
1. Interior-exterior anti-corrosion
Anti-corrosion aluminum forms an anti-corrosion system from the internal material structure to the surface, minimizing the problem of spreading corrosion caused by damage to coatings—a common failure mode that compromises entire systems when protective layers are breached.
2. Low maintenance and peace of mind
While the initial investment may be higher, the long-term value proposition is compelling. The material minimizes the need for regular maintenance, saving organizations from the ongoing trouble and expense of maintenance and replacement cycles
3. Streamlined process for sustainability
Traditional anodizing requires 6-8 complex processes. In contrast, anti-corrosion aluminum employs direct extrusion molding, greatly reducing processing energy consumption while simplifying the manufacturing process.
Starting from the Dual-Lens Point-to-Point Zoom Turret Network Camera and 2H Varifocal Turret Network Camera, all new products in the Hikvision Pro series, including Network Cameras with ColorVu 3.0, come standard with anti-corrosion aluminum material, ushering in a new era of anti-corrosion cameras.
Product packaging serves fundamental purposes, including protection, storage, and marketing appeal. Now, new packaging solutions have evolved to address specialized industry requirements and environmental concerns.
Functionally, conventional packaging fulfills the protection function effectively. However, when devices require post-packaging firmware updates or pre-configuration, it presents operational complexities. Once the package is broken to access the device, it cannot be restored to its original state. Thus, the product can no longer be sold as "new" merchandise, requiring complete repackaging with new materials from suppliers, which leads to significant time investment, labor costs, material expenses, and coordination efforts.
Environmentally, traditional packaging leads to sustainability considerations through non-renewable plastic components, limited recyclability options, and resource consumption patterns that could benefit from optimization in today's environmentally conscious market.
Therefore, Hikvision develops innovative packaging solutions to address these operational and environmental considerations while maintaining all the protective and aesthetic functions of conventional packaging.
Tamper-free design
Tamper-free packaging incorporates removable stickers that allow post-sale operations without compromising package integrity. The design features side openings with reusable adhesive covers, enabling firmware updates and pre-configuration while maintaining the product's "new" appearance. This innovation brings various advantages:
Eco-friendly materials
Eco-friendly packaging utilizes recyclable or biodegradable materials to minimize environmental impact. This approach removes conventional plastic films, replaces EPE foam with recyclable cardboard alternatives, substitutes LDPE plastics with biodegradable PLA materials, and employs eco-friendly printing inks. These components can be recycled or naturally decomposed, creating a sustainable packaging solution that balances product protection with environmental responsibility.
Impact and significance
These packaging innovations demonstrate how strategic design modifications create significant economic and environmental benefits, transforming conventional packaging into multi-functional solutions that maximize value while minimizing waste.
The choice of base structure has long been a critical consideration for camera installation. Two primary approaches have dominated the market: the interpolation structure and the pigtail structure. Each presents distinct advantages and limitations that have shaped installation practices for years. The introduction of Hikvision’s new interpolation structure has solved the problem.
The traditional interpolation structure has traditionally been favored for its organized wiring management, with a PCB covered by junction box connecting network, power, and other interfaces, simplifying troubleshooting procedures. However, the box design cannot achieve true waterproof sealing. In addition, installation requires strict adherence to procedures and the use of dedicated tools; improper handling may lead to water ingress and potential device failure.
Conversely, the pigtail structure excelled at attaining up to IP67 waterproof ratings through its streamlined design. This robust capability made it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. However, the pigtail design made wiring management more challenging and potentially increased installation and maintenance time.
Design breakthrough
Hikvision’s recent developments have addressed these long-standing limitations through an innovative interpolation structure that integrates the benefits of both traditional approaches.
The design further enhances wiring management, as cable positions are directly fixed and neatly arranged. It facilitates both installation and maintenance procedures, reducing the likelihood of installation errors and simplifying future servicing requirements.
Simultaneously, the new structure achieves the waterproof performance previously exclusive to pigtail designs. Through refined engineering and precision manufacturing, the enhanced interpolation structure attains IP67 waterproof ratings, which ensure reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions, including exposure to dust and water.
Also, the enhanced design eliminates the need for separate junction boxes, addressing a persistent concern in the industry, where compatibility between cameras and junction boxes often creates procurement and inventory challenges.
Installation enhancement
The new structure streamlines the installation process. A quick mounting plate allows for rapid camera deployment. Once the mounting plate is secured to the installation surface, the camera can be attached through a simple press-and-click operation, significantly reducing installation time and improving overall efficiency.
This innovative interpolation structure has been implemented across multiple camera series, including Pro Series PTRZ cameras, Dual-Lens Point-to-Point Zoom turret cameras, and 2H varifocal turret cameras. The widespread adoption across different camera types combines both the versatility and practical benefits.
