Hikvision DS-PDPC12P-EG2 Wired PIRCAM detector
The Hikvision DS-PDPC12P-EG2 is a wired PIRCAM detector for AX Hybrid Pro alarm systems. It pairs passive infrared motion detection with a built-in camera that captures JPEG snapshots when the alarm triggers, so you or a monitoring centre can confirm what set it off - turning a bare motion alert into a verified event.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-PDPC12P-EG2 is
The Hikvision DS-PDPC12P-EG2 is a wired PIRCAM detector for AX Hybrid Pro alarm systems. It combines passive infrared motion detection with a built-in camera that takes still JPEG images the instant the detector alarms, so the event can be checked visually rather than relying on a motion signal alone. This helps users and monitoring centres decide quickly whether an alarm is genuine before acting.
It covers a 12m range across an 85.9° field with 52 detection zones, and ignores pets up to 30kg when set up correctly. A polarising IR lens and a 12m infrared fill light help it capture clearer snapshots in low light, while Smart Environmental Control, digital temperature compensation, creep-zone protection and sealed optics keep detection steady and reduce false alarms.
It connects over Hikvision's Speed-X wired bus, supported to 1km from the panel, with AES-128 encryption, and runs on 9-16VDC with front and rear tamper protection. Set-up and image review are handled through the Hik-Connect app. Note this is an alarm verification detector - it captures snapshots only when triggered and does not record continuous video like a CCTV camera, so it does not connect to an NVR.
