DS-2CD1623G2-IZ(S)

The Hikvision DS-2CD1623G2-IZ(S) is a professional 2 MP Motion Detection 2.0 motorized-varifocal bullet network camera suitable for entrances, warehouses, retail premises, offices, residential developments, parking areas, industrial sites and perimeter surveillance. It provides 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution, a 2.8–12 mm motorized varifocal lens for remote adjustment of field of view and focus, human and vehicle classification to reduce false motion alarms, EXIR 2.0 infrared illumination, H.265+ compression, optional audio/alarm interfaces on the -S version, microSD recording up to 256 GB, and IP67 weather protection. The motorized lens is particularly relevant to Dubai SIRA installations because the current Preventive Systems Manual requires cameras installed at 4 m or above to provide remote zoom and focus. Its 1080p resolution meets SIRA's minimum IP-camera resolution and IP67 exceeds the minimum IP66 outdoor requirement. However, this model uses digital WDR (DWDR) rather than a specified 110 dB true WDR; SIRA requires at least 110 dB WDR or equivalent when a camera faces strong direct or reflected light, so VEGA Digital should select the camera only where the approved lighting conditions and SIRA design permit it, or substitute an appropriate true-WDR model at challenging entrances and façades. VEGA Digital IT Solutions LLC, as a SIRA-approved CCTV/security-system provider in Dubai and Hikvision integrator serving the UAE, can supply and integrate the DS-2CD1623G2 series within professionally engineered CCTV solutions; nevertheless, SIRA certification is exact-model specific, and I could not verify this exact DS-2CD1623G2-IZ(S) SKU in SIRA's public Approved Camera List dated 31 March 2026, so the current certificate should be confirmed before it is stated in a BOQ as an individually “SIRA Approved Camera.”The related Hikvision models give VEGA Digital several choices according to housing, lens and coverage requirements. The DS-2CD1723G2-IZ(S) is the vandal-resistant dome alternative, offering the same 2 MP resolution, 2.8–12 mm motorized lens, human/vehicle detection, H.265+, approximately 30 m IR, IP67 and IK10 protection, making it useful for accessible indoor/outdoor locations where resistance to tampering is important.The DS-2CD1H23G2-IZ(S) is the turret-style motorized-varifocal version with a 1/2.9-inch sensor, 1920 × 1080 resolution, 2.8–12 mm motorized lens, approximately 30 m IR, H.265+ and optional -S audio interfaces. The DS-2CD1B23G2-LIU(F) is a compact 2 MP Smart Hybrid Light fixed bullet offering IR and white-light operation, human/vehicle detection, H.265+, built-in microphone, IP67 protection and up to 512 GB microSD storage on the -F variant. The newer DS-2CD1023G3-LIU(F)(/SX) and DS-2CD1123G3-LIU(F)(/SX) move to Hikvision's Smart Hybrid Light 3.0 generation, with improved image processing, Motion Detection 3.0, person/vehicle classification, built-in microphones and optional /SX Live Guard functionality with white or red/blue strobe deterrence and two-way audio; the DS-2CD1123G3 dome also provides IP67 and IK10 protection and optional 512 GB local storage. The longer-body DS-2CD1T23G3-LIU(F)(/SX) provides 2 MP imaging with HikAI-ISP, Motion Detection 3.0, Smart Hybrid Light, built-in microphone and illumination up to approximately 50 m, making it useful for longer outdoor approaches and perimeter areas. For every one of these models, VEGA Digital should verify the exact suffix—IZ, IZS, LIU, LIUF, /SL, /SRB or /SX—against the latest SIRA approval certificate, because approval of one camera in a product family does not automatically certify all related versions.For a SIRA-compliant Hikvision CCTV installation, VEGA Digital should first carry out a detailed survey identifying entrances/exits, reception and cashier areas, sensitive rooms, parking and vehicle approaches, perimeter coverage, blind spots, required identification/recognition views, camera mounting heights, lighting conditions, network topology, recording retention, NVR/storage requirements and UPS backup. Under SIRA's current requirements, IP cameras must be colour, minimum 1080p Full HD, use VBR, provide at least 48 dB SNR, remain clearly visible, and outdoor cameras must be at least IP66; cameras facing strong light require at least 110 dB WDR or equivalent, while units installed at 4 m or above require remote zoom and focus. This means the motorized DS-2CD1623G2-IZ(S), DS-2CD1723G2-IZ(S) and DS-2CD1H23G2-IZ(S) are advantageous for higher mounting positions, but their DWDR capability must still be evaluated against the actual scene if strong lighting exists. The fixed-lens DS-2CD1B23G2 and G3 LIU models should normally be positioned where their fixed field of view satisfies the approved SIRA layout and remote zoom/focus is not mandatory. Models with built-in microphones or two-way audio require extra care: SIRA's published technical specifications state that audio recording cannot be used unless permission is obtained, so VEGA should keep microphone recording disabled unless specifically authorized.VEGA can then install CAT6/fibre infrastructure, managed PoE switches, Hikvision NVRs, secure CCTV VLANs and UPS systems; configure H.265+, VBR, image parameters, IR/Smart Hybrid Light, motion analytics, privacy masks, NTP synchronization and recording schedules; and complete day/night image testing, identification-view checks, remote lens testing, recording-retention verification, power/network-failure testing and as-built documentation. For Dubai projects, the system should use the exact SIRA-approved equipment stated in the approved Security Plan and successfully pass the SIRA security audit before final Security System Certification; outside Dubai, the applicable authority requirements for the relevant UAE emirate must also be followed.
