ECI-D14F2 4MP Fixed Dome IP Camera with Audio, PoE, IR Night Vision, IP67

The ECI-D14F2 is part of the ECI-D14F(B) 4 MP fixed dome series, and the datasheet lists a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440. That matters because it gives you more detail than lower-resolution cameras when you need to review faces, movement, or incident footage. The datasheet also shows the main stream can record at up to 20 fps at 2560 × 1440, with other lower resolutions available at higher frame rates. In practical terms, that gives you a good balance between image clarity and recording flexibility depending on your system setup.

Yes, this camera uses IR illumination for low-light and nighttime viewing. The datasheet states the supplement light type is IR and the supplement light range is up to 30 m, with Smart Supplement Light support and an IR wavelength of 850 nm. It also lists minimum illumination as 0 Lux with IR in black-and-white mode, which means the camera is designed to keep capturing video even when visible light drops away. For a buyer, that means better coverage after dark without needing separate lighting in many common installations.

According to the datasheet, the camera carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance and an IK10 rating for vandal resistance. That combination matters because it helps the camera handle weather exposure while also offering stronger protection against physical impact. The operating conditions are listed at -30 °C to 60 °C with humidity up to 95% non-condensing, which adds confidence for demanding environments. For many buyers, that makes it a practical option for entrances, exterior walls, shared spaces, and other higher-risk mounting locations.

Yes, the datasheet specifically says the camera has a built-in microphone for real-time audio security. It also lists supported audio compression formats including G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, and AAC, along with 8 kHz and 16 kHz audio sampling rates. There is also environment noise filtering listed, which is useful when you want clearer captured sound in busy areas. For a buyer, that means you are not just seeing what happened—you may also capture the surrounding audio context when your setup and local laws allow it.

Yes, the datasheet states that the camera has a built-in memory card slot and supports microSD cards up to 256 GB. It also lists network storage options including NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS) and ANR, giving you more than one path for storing footage. That matters because local storage can help preserve recordings even if the network path to a recorder is interrupted. For a buyer, it adds a layer of backup and flexibility instead of forcing everything through a single recording method.

The datasheet shows that the camera supports both 12 VDC power and PoE. Specifically, it lists PoE as 802.3af, Class 3, and also gives the DC input as 12 VDC ± 25%. That is useful because PoE can simplify installation by letting power and data run through one Ethernet cable, while the DC option gives you an alternative if your system is built that way. For many installations, that flexibility can reduce wiring headaches and make the camera easier to integrate into existing infrastructure. 

The available model listed in the datasheet for this version is ECI-D14F2(2.8mm)(B), so it uses a 2.8 mm lens. The datasheet gives the field of view for that lens as 98.0° horizontal, 53.1° vertical, and 114.7° diagonal. That matters because a wider view is often preferred when you want to cover entrances, small rooms, hallways, or broad open areas with one camera. For a buyer, it means the 2.8 mm version is aimed more at wider scene coverage rather than a tighter, zoomed-in look. 

Yes, the datasheet highlights 120 dB WDR and specifically says the camera provides clear imaging even with strong back lighting. It also lists image enhancement features including BLC and 3D DNR, along with adjustable image settings such as saturation, brightness, contrast, sharpness, AGC, and white balance. That matters in real installations because doors, windows, and sunlit areas often create the kind of contrast that can wash out ordinary cameras. For a buyer, these features help improve the odds of getting usable footage instead of silhouettes or blown-out highlights.

The datasheet lists API support for Open Network Video Interface and ISAPI, which helps with interoperability in supported surveillance environments. It also lists a wide protocol set including TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTP, NTP, IPv4, IPv6, SSL/TLS, and more. On the client side, the datasheet names iVMS-4200 and Hik-Connect, and it notes browser support requirements for live view and local service. For a buyer, that means the camera is designed to fit into standard IP video workflows rather than being limited to only one narrow usage path. 

The datasheet lists basic events including motion detection, video tampering, and exception. It also states linkage actions can include upload to FTP or memory card, notifying the surveillance center, sending email, triggering recording, and triggering capture. That matters because many buyers want the camera to do more than continuously record—they want it to react when something important happens. In practice, those event options help you build a more responsive security setup that can save time and make footage easier to review.
