First of all, what are Hikvision 2-line, 4-line, and 6-line cameras? The ‘line’ is actually product lines, doesn’t mean any technical lens or devices on the camera. Hikvision divides its network IP cameras into three product lines called the 2-Line, 4-Line and 6-Line series.

2-Line series network IP Entry series cameras. Both versatile and cost-efficient, Hikvision's 2-line series is a combination designed for the needs of a home, office, store, or other small businesses.

4-Line series network IP Smart series cameras. Hikvision's 4-Line Smart IP cameras are a solid range of cameras that bring intelligence, efficiency, and convenience to key areas like wide dynamic range, colour rendition, and analytical data. There are box (full body) cameras, indoor domes, IR bullet cameras and outdoor domes, all with resolution options up to 4K.

6-Line series network IP Professional series cameras. Hikvision's 6-Line professional/specialist IP cameras are designed for more specialist IP Security requirements. With solutions including Ultra Low Light Cameras, Fisheye 360-degree cameras and Covert IP cameras, these are designed for hotels, banks, secure buildings and similar places that need unparalleled security through surveillance.

Now, we will move to model naming convention. A typical Hikvision IP Camera naming convention is DS-2CD2385F/H/WD-I/A/H/P/S/W/Z. This setup makes the model number very long, but once you understand the meaning of these letters, it will help you quickly understand what this camera can do for you or features.

It all starts from a fixed prefix DS-2CD, then there are 4 digits, the first digit is product line number 2,4 or 6, then the second digit from 0 to 5 representing the type of IP cameras, then the third digit representing the number of megapixels, then the fourth digit representing is currently unknown.

Then the next set of alphabets of F, H or WD which indicates the presence of certain features. F indicates Flash Memory, this model has an on-board flash memory slot, you can put a SD-Card in. H indicates a built-in heater there for the camera which is not common used now. WD indicates Wide Dynamic Range.

Then the next set of I, A, P, S, W or Z with last digit. I is a true IR Cut Filter with auto day/night switch, A is Auto Back Focus, P indicates P-iris, S is Sound or built-in Microphone, W is Wi-Fi, Z indicates a Motorized VF Lens, the last digit indicates the IR range if there is a difference.

Let’s make DS-2CD2385FWD-I as an example. It starts from DS-2CD, 2-line, 3 indicates Turret, 8 indicates 8MP(4K), F Built-in Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC slot up to 128 GB, WD 120dB Wide Dynamic Range, I IR cut filter with auto switch. Hope our article helped you understand Hikvision IPC names.

Now we come to the most important part of the review, the camera performance, we had the camera up for several days to test it across day and night, as well as a variety of lighting and weather conditions.

Hikvision DS-2CD2355FWD-I was tested in an average daytime scene that was not too bright or dark. At first glance, the picture looks really impressive with very sharp focus and excellent colour rendition. On closer inspection we really couldn’t find any problem with the camera’s performance in these lighting conditions, even the smallest details are defined and not pixelated.
Performance hold well as light levels fall. Noise in static scenes is very well controlled. We looked at a late afternoon scene with more shadows than the previous scene. With this little bit of extra shadow, the detail of the scene actually improved. The camera auto settings worked well, were able to balance much better across the scene, never being too dark or too bright.
At 5.56pm, the camera switches over into night mode. we have a play with this for a while, and IR is now activated. The shutter speed has slowed down too. The night vision test lasts few hours, its night vision looks quite impressive. Picture quality is decent and the night vision gives a clear view, not pixelated.

Hikvision DS-2CD2355FWD-I is ideal for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications where high-quality video footage is required. We recommend our clients consider this camera as a budget option for any surveillance applications of either home use or small business use.
