Field of view and DORI distances
The angles come from the manufacturer’s documentation for this model. A level’s distance is how deep along the camera axis the required pixel density holds; in practice the result also depends on light, viewing angle and video compression. The values may differ from the DORI in the datasheet: manufacturers calculate it by their own method, here it strictly follows the IEC 62676-4 density thresholds.
- Detect
- 56.8 m
- Observe
- 22.7 m
- Recognize
- 11.4 m
- Identify
- 5.7 m
The angles were cross-checked against the manufacturer’s model page and datasheet.

Hikvision DS-2CD2183G2-IU is an 8-megapixel dome IP camera with EXIR illumination, a built-in microphone, and video analytics. Unlike the basic version, the model with the "U" index is equipped with a built-in microphone for recording audio directly from the camera, which eliminates the need for separate audio equipment. The 3840×2160 resolution guarantees 4K detail, and EXIR IR illumination with a range of up to 30 meters guarantees reliable night surveillance. This is a versatile camera for protecting sites where both video and audio recording are required.
Advantages
- A built-in microphone makes it possible to record sound without external devices — everything in a single housing
- 8 MP (3840×2160) resolution provides high detail for identifying faces and objects
- EXIR illumination up to 30 m provides even illumination of the scene at night
- H.265+ optimizes the archive volume while maintaining 4K quality
- VCA functions support intrusion detection, line crossing, and other video analytics
- PoE power — a minimal number of cables during installation
Applications
- Checkout areas of stores and banks — joint audio and video recording of incidents
- Meeting rooms and reception desks — control of negotiations with sound capture
- Entrances and elevator halls of residential complexes — comprehensive surveillance with audio
- Perimeter of secured sites — nighttime monitoring with the ability to listen in remotely
