Description

The Hikvision DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF is a 2 MP covert network camera with a split-type design - a tiny lens head connects by cable to a separate main unit, so the camera can be hidden almost out of sight while the electronics sit elsewhere. It delivers 1080p at up to 60 fps with 120 dB WDR, and a discreet zinc-alloy head suits indoor positions where a normal camera would be too obvious.

01Overview

What the DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF is

The Hikvision DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF is a covert camera for places where a visible camera is unwanted or intrusive. It uses a split-type design: a miniature 31.5 mm lens head connects by cable to a separate main unit, so you can conceal just the small head behind a fascia, in a fitting or in joinery while the body sits out of view. That makes it well suited to retail counters, ATMs, reception desks, hospitality interiors and other sensitive indoor spaces.

Despite its size it is a capable 2 MP camera. It records 1920 x 1080 at up to 60 fps, which captures smooth, clear motion at a busy till or doorway, and 120 dB WDR balances exposure against bright windows and entrances so faces are not lost in silhouette. Smart events such as line crossing, intrusion and region entry and exit run on board, and a line-in audio input lets you add an external microphone where recording sound is permitted and appropriate.

Two honest points so you set it up correctly. It has no infrared, so it relies on the room's existing light and is intended for indoor use with some ambient lighting, not for dark or outdoor positions. And it has no built-in microphone or speaker - audio is via the line-in input only. It runs on a 12 VDC supply and connects over the network to a Hikvision NVR for recording and search.

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF covert camera comprising the miniature lens head and the separate main unit with their connecting cable and fixings. The 12 VDC power supply, network cable and any NVR are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Conceal the small lens head in the chosen indoor position with a clear line of sight and some ambient light, and mount the main unit nearby out of view. Connect the head to the main unit, run the network cable to a Hikvision NVR or switch, and provide 12 VDC power. There is no infrared, so make sure the area has enough light.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF

Q.01

What makes the DS-2CD2D25G1/M-D/NF a covert camera?
It uses a split-type design where a tiny lens head connects by cable to a separate main unit, so you can conceal just the small head behind a fascia, fitting or piece of joinery while the body sits out of view. That lets it watch a space discreetly where a normal camera would be too obvious.
Q.02

Where is it meant to be used?
It is an indoor camera for sensitive spaces such as retail counters, ATMs, reception desks and hospitality interiors. It has no weatherproof rating and no infrared, so it is not intended for outdoor or dark positions.
Q.03

Does it work in the dark?
No, not on its own. It has no infrared and relies on the room's existing light, so it needs some ambient lighting to produce a usable image. For dark areas, choose a camera with built-in infrared or white light instead.
Q.04

Does it have a microphone?
It has no built-in microphone or speaker. There is a line-in audio input, so you can connect an external microphone where recording sound is permitted and appropriate, but the camera does not capture audio by itself.
Q.05

Why does it record at 60 fps?
The high 60 fps frame rate captures smooth, clear motion, which helps at busy points such as a retail till or a doorway where fast movement can blur on a slower camera. You can run it at a lower frame rate to save storage if you prefer.
Q.06

How is it powered and connected?
It runs on a 12 VDC supply and connects over the network to a Hikvision NVR. The miniature head links to the main unit by its cable, and the main unit provides the network and power connections.
Q.07

Which lens should I choose?
The 2.8 mm lens gives a wider view for a small room or counter area, while the 4 mm lens is a little tighter for a specific spot such as a till or an entry. Both are fixed M12 lenses, so pick the angle that matches the space.
