Powerful performance meets incredible design with our 4MP vandal dome security camera. With 4MP of beautiful high definition video and its 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), this camera will deliver incredible video every time. Plus, with its 100 foot infrared range and IP67 weatherproof rating, neither darkness nor crazy storms will get in the way of your surveillance.
But where this camera really shines is in its vandal-dome design. It’s small, compact, sleek, and modern. Available in two different colors, you’re sure to get a camera that looks great, blends into its environment, and fits just about anywhere. Its all-metal construction and its vandal-proof glass dome makes it nearly impossible for someone to come along and tamper with the lens or vandalize the camera.
This camera’s construction gives it a ton of benefits over bullet- or turret-style cameras. But there are many more reasons why this may be the perfect security camera for you. To learn more about its specifications and features, keep reading!
Works With Blue Iris
This camera is tested and confirmed working with Blue Iris. Easily add the camera to Blue Iris and enjoy the robust features of both the camera and Blue Iris Software.
4MP Resolution
The IPCT-214G-DM captures video up to a resolution of 4MP @ 30 FPS, which is 2560×1440 pixels. To put this in perspective, FHD (Full High Definition) is 2 megapixels, or 1920×1080 pixels. These cameras don’t have a high resolution, but they’re faster and more affordable. On the other end of the spectrum, 4K Ultra HD resolution is 8MP. These produce crazy high resolution video, but can be slower and much more expensive. So at 4MP, this camera is a pretty good blend of both. It has a higher resolution than FHD cameras without the cost of 4K UHD.
2.8MM Fixed Lens
The IPCT-214G-DM has a 2.8mm Fixed Lens. That means it’s fixed at one length; it can’t optically zoom in and out. The longer the focal length on a fixed lens camera, the more zoomed in it is and the more close-up detail you’ll be able to see. But the shorter the focal length, the wider the field of view and the more area your surveillance will cover.
The IPCT-214G-DM has a fixed length of 2.8mm, giving it a horizontal field of view of 98°.
IK10 Vandalproof Rating
The IPCT-214G-DM has an Impact Protection (IK) rating of 10, which is as high as the scale goes. If a vandal wants to try to bust open this camera, more power to them. Literally, they’re going to need a lot more power, because this thing is practically indestructible. That’s why these dome-style cameras are often called vandal-proof domes, or vandal domes for short.
IP67 Weatherproof Rating
This camera has an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 67. This means the camera is completely protected from dust and other solid particles. It can also withstand being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
Rest assured that when you install this camera outside, it will have no problem braving the toughest of storms.
100′ Night Vision IR Range
When the sun goes down or the lights go out, this camera switches on its own onboard infrared LED lights. These lights, which are invisible to the human eye, allow the camera to continue functioning and recording video 24/7, day or night. And since its IR range covers up to 100 feet, you’re not going to miss anything that happens on your camera’s feeds, even if it happens in pitch-black darkness.
Plug & Play
If you’re creating a new system out of our H-Series cameras, set up is insanely easy with our H-Series line of POE NVRs. Simply plug the camera into the back of the H-Series NVR and you have instant video on the recorder’s HDMI interface. You can also view and manage the NVR through free desktop and mobile apps, such as Hik-Connect and iVMS-4200.
Remote Access
The IPCT-214G-DM is a part of our H-Series line of products. As such, it’s packed with features that would please a power user, yet it’s simple enough to operate for a novice. Easily view and manage your cameras and recorders anywhere in the world with the free mobile and desktop applications. For the power user, these apps give you the power to adjust advanced settings on the fly. For the novice, you can use the apps to simply view live feeds and play back recorded video. Whatever you need to accomplish, it’s all right there at your fingertips.
ONVIF Compatibility
If you want to add this camera to a security system already set up, that’s no problem. This camera complies with the protocols set by the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF). This means, as long as your current recorder is ONVIF compatible, you’ll be able to set this camera up with your current system.

Very satisfied with these cameras. The dome is great to have to our outdoor low hanging locations and it does not noticeably affect the quality of the camera. Great picture!
