What Is The Latest And Greatest Hikvision 12MP IR Fisheye Camera?

As part of our fisheye testing series (see Avigilon, Axis, Vivotek), we want to make sure our Hikvision coverage is up to date. We tested the DS-2CD63C2F-IV in 2016. That model appears to be the latest one they offer, from what I can find, and is still listed as a new product on the USA, Europe, UK/Ireland, and even China sites, and nothing newer is in any of the latest catalogs.

But, does anyone know of any new models which aren't listed? I know they've released a 5 and 7 series recently but didn't see fisheyes included there, either. We are asking Hikvision directly but wanted to see if anyone had input.

We have, of course, updated firmware on the 63C2 and have been retesting it and will update our report as needed if performance changes in any way.

I’m sure people will let you know the correct model after your test 🤔

Only if they dislike the results, then it will be either magically EOLed internally or revealed to have never been released ;)

Hikvision confirmed the DS-2CD63C2F-IV is the current / latest model and that no replacement for it is expected in the next 3 months.

As such, we will include this model in the upcoming 12MP panoramic shootout.
