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
- 49.1 m
- Observe
- 19.6 m
- Recognize
- 9.8 m
- Identify
- 4.9 m
The angles were cross-checked against the manufacturer’s model page and datasheet.

The Hikvision DS-2CD2566G2-I with Darkfighter technology is a dome IP camera for scenarios where high-quality shooting in low light is critically important. The larger-format 1/2.4" sensor captures more light, and 0.003 lux sensitivity in color mode provides a recognizable color image where other cameras switch to black-and-white mode. Resolution up to 3200×1800 adds a detail margin for analytics.
Advantages
- Darkfighter technology: a color image at 0.003 lux illumination — at the level of a distant street lamp
- 1/2.4" sensor: the large sensor collects more light, which directly improves the nighttime picture
- 3200×1800 resolution: maximum detail in the class of mini-dome cameras
- H.265+: saving storage resources at high resolution
- IR illumination up to 30 m: an additional night mode in the complete absence of lighting
- PoE power: convenient and economical connection
Applications
- Underground and covered parking lots: low light is the camera's standard operating condition
- Nightclubs, bars, restaurants: surveillance in dim light without loss of color
- Poorly lit warehouses and workshops: monitoring without additional lighting
- Street perimeters with minimal lighting: effective surveillance in scarce external light
- Checkout areas with non-standard lighting: accurate identification in WDR scenes
