The DS-2CD6425G1-10-2M is a discreet, high-performance 2 MP covert network camera designed for environments where unobtrusive monitoring is essential. Featuring a separate cylindrical sensor head with a 2 metre cable, the camera allows the sensor to be installed discreetly while the main body is concealed nearby. Delivering Full HD 1080p resolution in real-time, the camera’s 3.7 mm fixed lens provides a balanced horizontal field of view of approximately 75.5°, making it well-suited to small rooms, reception areas, offices and other indoor applications. With H.265+ compression, True 120 dB WDR and professional imaging performance, this model is ideal for covert surveillance where discretion and clarity are both critical.

Why Choose the DS-2CD6425G1-10-2M

The DS-2CD6425G1-10-2M offers advantages rarely found in conventional cameras due to its versatile two-part architecture. The discreet cylindrical sensor can be mounted through thin surfaces, panels or ceilings while the main processing unit remains hidden, allowing for highly effective covert placements. The 3.7 mm fixed pinhole lens provides a natural field of view that balances coverage with detailed subject capture, particularly useful for doorways, desks and entrances. With True WDR for challenging lighting, efficient H.265+ recording performance and reliable low-light optimisation, the camera provides consistent results in professional installations where subtlety, reliability and image quality must all be maintained.
