Overview
The DS-2CD63C5G1-S/RC is a recessed-mount 12 MP DeepinView fisheye network camera producing up to 3504 × 3504 images. It uses a 1/1.8" progressive-scan CMOS with a 1.29 mm panomorph lens (F2.2) and supports multiple de-warping modes for 360°/180° panoramas and multi-PTZ-style views.

• 12 MP sensor — up to 3504 × 3504 resolution for wide-area coverage and detailed analytics.
• 1.29 mm panomorph lens (180° × 180°) — recessed ceiling installation.
• Multi-dewarping — up to 20 display modes (360°, 180°, hemisphere, cylinder, multi-PTZ).
• Built-in analytics — people counting, queue management, heatmap, intersection analysis and usual smart events (line crossing, intrusion, object removal).
• On-board audio — four built-in microphones plus line-in/line-out and two-way audio support.
• Flexible storage — microSD up to 256 GB, NAS (NFS/SMB) and ANR supported.
• Efficient video — H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 with ROI and SVC; up to 16 Mbps bitrate.
• Power — PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) or 12 VDC; typical power draw up to ~8 W (PoE) / ~7 W (12 VDC).

Use cases
Ideal for indoor wide-area monitoring where a single recessed camera is preferred: retail floors, lobbies, stations, conference areas and other public spaces requiring people counting and heatmap analytics.

Installation & compliance notes

• Designed for recessed/ceiling installation. Ensure mounting aperture and clearances match the product dimensions (Ø165.0 mm × 48.9 mm).
• Installations should be performed by a qualified technician and comply with local CCTV, privacy and electrical regulations. Confirm local approval/marking requirements (CE/UKCA) with the supplier if needed.
• For reliable recording, use a suitably rated microSD card (up to 256 GB) or NAS; enable ANR for network interruptions.
