Hikvision PTZ CCTV Cameras

PTZ cameras pan, tilt and zoom on command, so one camera can follow a person or vehicle across a car park, yard or road. This page gathers Hikvision PTZ cameras and speed domes in network and Turbo HD analogue versions, including ColorVu mini PTZs, long-range DarkFighter models, TandemVu dual-channel cameras, 4G and solar units, thermal and explosion-proof models, with the brackets, mounts and joystick keyboards that go with them.

Choosing Hikvision PTZ CCTV Cameras

Decide how far the camera must see, how it connects and is powered, and how it is mounted.

Zoom and reach

Speed domes such as the DS-2DE4425IWG1-E pair a 4 MP sensor with 25× optical zoom (4.8–120 mm), IR to 100 m and AcuSense human and vehicle classification. For long views, the DS-2DF8C842IXG1-ELWY is an 8 MP camera with 42× optical zoom and IR light to about 500 m, and the DS-2DF9C848LXG1-LW has 48× zoom with smart laser illumination up to 800 m. The DS-2DE3A400BW-DE(F1)(T5) mini PTZ has a 4 mm F1.0 lens, white light to 30m and a built-in microphone and speaker.

TandemVu: detail and the wide view together

A single-lens PTZ loses the wider scene when it zooms in. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E(14F0) avoids that with two 4 MP channels: a fixed 2.8 mm ColorVu bullet that holds the whole scene and a 25× PTZ head that looks at the detail.

Analogue, 4G and solar

Turbo HD analogue PTZs such as the DS-2AE5232TI-A(E) offer 32× optical zoom and IR to about 150 m. Where there is no data cable, the DS-2DE5425IWG-4G sends 4 MP 25× video over 4G from a 12 V supply, and the DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G solar kit adds a 360 WH battery pack for a site with no mains.

Harsh and hazardous sites

The DS-2DT6232X-AELY(T5) is built from SUS316L stainless steel with NEMA 4X, IP67 and IK10 ratings for corrosive sites, and the DS-2DY9236I-CWX(T5/316L) is explosion-proof, with ATEX and IECEx certification for gas and dust zones.

Mounts and control

The DS-1602ZJ-POLE bracket fits poles of Ø67–127 mm with a 10 kg clamp load, and the DS-1661ZJ-6D is an aluminium pendant ceiling mount for PTZ and PanoVu cameras.

Frequently asked questions

How much optical zoom should a Hikvision PTZ camera have?

Enough to fill the frame with a subject at the farthest point you need to watch. A 25× speed dome such as the DS-2DE4425IWG1-E suits a car park or yard, while the DS-2DF8C842IXG1-ELWY with 42× zoom and the DS-2DF9C848LXG1-LW with 48× zoom are made for long-range perimeter views.

Can a Hikvision PTZ camera work without a network cable?

Yes, the 4G models send their video over the mobile network. The DS-2DE5425IWG-4G is a 4 MP 25× PTZ that needs only a 12 V supply and records to microSD and built-in eMMC if the link drops. The DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G kit runs on solar power with a 360 WH battery pack for a site with no mains.

What is a TandemVu PTZ camera?

It is a camera with two channels, so it keeps watching the whole scene while it zooms in. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E(14F0) has a fixed 2.8 mm ColorVu bullet channel covering the scene and a 25× PTZ channel for the detail, each at 4 MP. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) pairs a 4 MP PTZ with a 6 MP panoramic view.

What bracket does a Hikvision PTZ camera need?

Use a PTZ bracket rated for the camera and bracket together, chosen for the wall, pole, corner or ceiling it fixes to. The DS-1602ZJ-POLE clamps to poles of Ø67–127 mm with a 10 kg load, the DS-1603ZJ-CORNER-P is a corner mount rated 20 kg, and the DS-1661ZJ-6D hangs a PTZ from the ceiling.
