Desay M10 vs Hikvision DS-D42A0CQ42-2BP

10 mm against 10 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile, so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile: 8.00 × 4.50 m and 7.68 × 4.80 m respectively.

What the numbers say

• Both resolve to about the same density (10,000 and 10,000 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
• Hikvision DS-D42A0CQ42-2BP is the lighter rig: 21 kg/m² against 23 kg/m². Across this wall that is 95 kg of difference, 855 kg versus 950 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
• Hikvision DS-D42A0CQ42-2BP draws more: 580 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 19.5 kW versus 21.4 kW, and 10 versus 10 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
• Both come out at 1 data runs for this wall, though they carry 72 and 42 panels per port respectively.
• Different cabinet formats: 800 × 900 mm against 1280 × 960 mm, so 50 tiles versus 30 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
• Estimated truck space: 2.9 m for Desay M10 against 4.4 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
