About the Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1
The Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1 is a rugged outdoor-grade bullet form factor designed to withstand exposure to weather, vandalism, and direct sunlight. Sub-megapixel resolution is suitable only for general overview footage — useful for movement detection but insufficient for facial recognition or license-plate reading. An IR reach above 80 m is unusual for the format and is intended for highway monitoring, large industrial sites, and airport perimeters where conventional cameras would simply lose the target after dark. A narrow field of view trades coverage area for pixel density at distance — the right choice when you need to read faces or plates far from the camera, e.g., long corridors, gate approaches, ANPR installations.
Best use cases for this camera
Long corridor & aisle monitoring
The 24° narrow angle is intentionally tuned for corridor work — it concentrates pixel density along the length of the hallway rather than wasting resolution on the side walls. Mount at the far end facing along the corridor.
Strengths
- •100m IR range eliminates the need for external night-time illuminators
Considerations
- •Narrow angle requires more cameras to cover wide areas — plan camera count accordingly
Coverage at Different Distances
| Distance | Coverage Width | Coverage Area | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5m | 2.1m | 11 m² | Entrance, corridor |
| 10m | 4.3m | 43 m² | Room, retail aisle |
| 15m | 6.4m | 96 m² | Warehouse, parking row |
| 20m | 8.5m | 170 m² | Parking row, courtyard |
| 30m | 12.8m | 383 m² | Parking lot, yard |
| 50m | 21.3m | 1063 m² | Perimeter, large area |
Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full N/A resolution at 24° field of view. Effective identification range up to 20m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 100m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the DS-2TD2836-25/V1
Avoid mounting under direct ceiling lights or behind glass — both reflect IR back into the lens and create severe glare in the image.
Plan cabling for multiple cameras to cover wide areas — at 24° you cover roughly 4 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1 covers about 2.1 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 4.3 m, and at 20 m to 8.5 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 177 m, observe up to 71 m, recognise up to 35 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 18 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 13mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1 draws an estimated 12.0 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. Even a narrowly-aimed bullet camera can incidentally record passers-by, so the Art. 13 sign at the entry point applies regardless of how tightly the lens is framed.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 3–4 h of labour per bullet 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 Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the Hikvision 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 Hikvision DS-2TD2836-25/V1?
The camera draws roughly 12.0 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.
