01Overview

What the DS-2CD2T166G3-IS2UY/SL is

The 2.8mm lens provides a 94.2-degree horizontal view. Human and vehicle classification supports targeted event detection, with a white strobe and speaker for warning responses. Built-in dual microphones, audio line input/output and alarm input/output allow integration with supported site equipment.

At 50Hz, 16MP runs at 12.5fps, 12MP at 20fps and 4K at 25fps. Match recorder capacity to the desired setting. IR illumination reaches up to 60m.

The camera requires IEEE 802.3at PoE up to 18W or a suitable 12V DC supply. The IP67 and NEMA 4X housing has manufacturer-rated moderate corrosion protection.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. Plan power

    Provide IEEE 802.3at PoE with capacity for 18W or a suitable 12V DC supply.

  2. Configure deterrence

    Set event areas, target types and strobe/speaker schedules for the site.

  3. Check connected equipment

    Confirm recorder resolution support and electrical ratings before connecting audio or alarm devices. Protect cable joints.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2T166G3-IS2UY/SL

Q.01

What must I check before adding this 16MP camera to an existing NVR?

Confirm 16MP input support, incoming bandwidth and the recording and display limits of the NVR. The camera offers H.264/H.265 and a configurable bitrate up to 24Mbps. At 50Hz, the maximum stream is 4608 x 3456 at 12.5fps;12MP is 20fps and 4K is 25fps. A recorder advertised as 4K does not automatically establish support for the 16MP stream.
Q.02

Can I use the same PoE port as a basic fixed camera?

This Liveguard model specifies IEEE 802.3at PoE, Class 4, up to 18W. Its DC alternative is 12V DC +/-25%, up to 17W. Check both the per-port capacity and total switch or NVR power budget.
Q.03

Is the white light a warning strobe or continuous colour-night illumination?

This SL model has a white warning strobe and an audible alarm. Its specified night illuminator is infrared, up to 60m at 850nm. These are separate functions; the white warning light is not a specification for continuous full-colour night recording. Red and blue warning lights belong to the separately ordered SRB model.
Q.04

Does the camera provide both audio capture and an audible warning?

Yes. This version has arrayed dual microphones and a built-in Smart PA speaker, with the speaker rated up to 2W. It also provides one line-level audio input and one line-level audio output. Choose a recorder or client that supports the required audio functions; line output and a powered speaker connection are not interchangeable.
Q.05

Can alerts focus on people and vehicles instead of every movement?

Yes. Motion detection and supported perimeter events can trigger on human or vehicle targets. The perimeter functions include line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting. Configure the target types and detection area for the scene; classification helps reduce unwanted alerts but does not promise that every false alarm will disappear.
Q.06

Can I connect an external alarm device to this camera?

There is one alarm input and one alarm output. The output is rated at a maximum of 24V DC or 24V AC, 1A. Check the external device load, power supply and wiring requirements against the camera installation instructions; the output rating alone does not establish compatibility with a particular siren or alarm panel.

Buying from Smarket

Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?

Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.

How long does delivery take?

Metro delivery usually takes 2–4 business days after dispatch, and regional areas may take longer. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.

What warranty do you offer?

All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.

Do you offer installation?

We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.

Recommended packages

01

Recorder selection

Choose an 8CH M-Series NVR for a small system, or 16CH for more capacity. Start with 4TB for 1–2 cameras, 6TB–8TB for 3–4 cameras, or 8TB–10TB for 5–8 cameras; size storage for your required retention. These are starting capacities, not guaranteed recording days. Use current supported Hikvision NVR firmware for 16MP recording. The listed recorders support H.265/H.264 and IEEE 802.3af/at PoE. Options marked 4TB included already contain a hard drive; choose No HDD to add your own capacity. Recording inputs and simultaneous full-resolution playback are different limits.

02

Camera count and power

This camera is specified at up to 24Mbps and 18W over PoE. The configurator uses those maxima and reserves 10% of recorder PoE capacity. The 8CH M2 has 128Mbps incoming bandwidth and 120W PoE; the 16CH M2 has 256Mbps and 200W. The 16CH model accepts at most eight 16MP inputs; sixteen connectors do not mean sixteen 16MP cameras. More cameras may require adjusted bitrates or a separately powered design.

03

Storage planning

Use surveillance-grade SATA HDDs such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk. At a constant 8Mbps per camera, 24/7 recording uses about 86.4GB per camera per day before overhead. Four cameras therefore need about 4.84TB for 14 days; eight need about 9.68TB. Actual retention changes with bitrate, motion, recording schedule and usable disk capacity. Hard drives install in the NVR, not the camera.

04

Cabling and mounting

Allow one correctly sized Ethernet cable per camera. The PoE recorder supplies camera power; a separate camera power adaptor is not required for that connection. DS-1260ZJ-Y junction box; DS-1276ZJ-SUS corner mount; DS-1275ZJ-SUS and DS-1275ZJ-S-SUS vertical pole mounts. Confirm the required mount combination for the site. Exact -Y junction-box and bracket versions are not currently linked for purchase; do not substitute a similarly named older mount.
