    Frequently asked questions

    Is Hikvision DS-2CD2126G2-ISU better than Hikvision DS-2CD2725FWD-IZS?

    Both cameras offer comparable specs on paper. The choice typically comes down to vendor lock-in, NDAA compliance and existing VMS integrations rather than raw imaging numbers. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into TodAidesign and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.

    What is the field of view of Hikvision DS-2CD2126G2-ISU vs Hikvision DS-2CD2725FWD-IZS?

    Hikvision DS-2CD2126G2-ISU has a 106° horizontal FOV at 2.8mm. Hikvision DS-2CD2725FWD-IZS has a 105° horizontal FOV at 2.8-12mm. Hikvision covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on TodAidesign converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.

    Which camera has stronger IR illumination?

    Hikvision DS-2CD2725FWD-IZS reaches 30 m of IR illumination versus 30 m for Hikvision DS-2CD2126G2-ISU. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.

    Can I plan a project mixing Hikvision and Hikvision cameras?

    Yes. TodAidesign is multi-vendor by design — drop Hikvision and Hikvision cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
