The Hikvision iDS-2CD8A46G2-XZHS(Y) 4MP DeepinView Multi-Sensor Bullet Camera is a professional dual-channel IP surveillance camera featuring dual 4MP imaging, an 8-32mm detail lens, 4mm panoramic lens, DarkFighter 2.0 low-light technology, 140dB WDR, license plate recognition, vehicle analytics, face capture, people counting and AI-powered perimeter protection. With H.265+ compression, hybrid IR and white-light illumination, IP67 weather protection and IK10 vandal resistance, it is designed for demanding commercial, industrial, traffic and perimeter-security applications.

Unlike a conventional single-lens surveillance camera, the iDS-2CD8A46G2-XZHS(Y) combines two complementary imaging channels. Channel 1 features an 8-32mm variable focal lens for detailed and longer-range monitoring, while Channel 2 features a 4mm fixed lens with an 89° horizontal field of view for wide-area situational awareness. Both channels use 1/1.8-inch Progressive Scan CMOS sensors and provide up to 2688 × 1520 resolution.
Hikvision's DarkFighter 2.0 technology provides enhanced low-light performance, while 140dB Wide Dynamic Range helps retain detail in scenes containing both bright and dark areas. The hybrid supplementary lighting system combines infrared and white light, with illumination distances of up to 100 metres on Channel 1 and 40 metres on Channel 2.
Advanced deep-learning analytics expand the camera beyond conventional video recording. Functions include human and vehicle perimeter protection, multi-target recognition, face capture, face comparison, multidimensional people counting, vehicle attribute recognition, parking detection, congestion detection and license plate recognition.
