About the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1
The KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 is a low-profile dome enclosure that blends into ceilings, vandal-resistant by design and harder to tamper with than bullet cameras. 720p HD resolution captures enough detail for basic identification at close range (under 8 meters) but loses face detail beyond that. Medium IR range (20–40 m) is appropriate for typical residential driveways, small commercial perimeters, and back-of-house loading bays where reach beyond ~30 m is rarely needed at night. A wide 80–120° angle covers a large room or open area from a single mounting position, making it ideal for retail floors, conference rooms, and small parking lots.
Best use cases for this camera
Parking lot & open yard
The 113° field of view spans roughly 121 meters at the camera's effective range — wide enough to monitor multiple parking rows from a single mounting point.
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
The 113° field of view captures the entire entrance and surrounding waiting area from a single ceiling mount. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.
Strengths
- •113° wide field of view reduces the number of cameras needed per area
- •Vandal-resistant dome housing harder to tamper with than bullet form factor
- •40m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments
Considerations
- •Resolution limits forensic digital zoom — recorded faces beyond ~12m may not be identifiable

Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 1.2MP (1280×960) resolution at 113° field of view. Effective identification range up to 40m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 40m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the IPC2131-DN-IR1
Ceiling-mount at 2.5–3.5 m for indoor use; for vandal-prone outdoor locations use a wall mount with the lens facing outward and downward.
Position so the most important subject (entrance, cash register, gate) is in the center third of the frame — peripheral pixel density drops with wide angles.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 covers about 15.1 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 30.2 m, and at 20 m to 60.4 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 19 m, observe up to 8 m, recognise up to 4 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 2 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 2.7-9mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 draws an estimated 7.5 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.
Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)
Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. With 113° horizontal FOV and 40 m effective range, a single dome camera unit covers a large swath of scene — confirm during commissioning that no part of the visible area extends beyond the property boundary, and add a privacy mask if it does.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 3–4 h of labour per dome camera of this class (approximately €135–€185 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.
Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the KEDACOM range survive direct rain, snow and UV; check the IP / IK rating against your environment (IP66 for rain/dust, IK10 for vandal-prone locations).
What PoE class powers the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1?
The camera draws roughly 7.5 W in steady-state operation, requiring a 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 100 m — beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.
How much storage does the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 consume per day?
At 1.2MP (1280×960) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the IPC2131-DN-IR1 produces approximately 5 GB per day — about 150 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40–70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.
Up to what distance can the KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 identify a person?
Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 2 m, recognises a person up to 4 m, observes general activity up to 8 m, and detects motion up to 19 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target — at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.
What network bandwidth does KEDACOM IPC2131-DN-IR1 use?
Typical ingest is 2 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50–100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
