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 models and an explosion-proof model, with the brackets, mounts and a joystick keyboard 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

What is a Hikvision PTZ camera?

A Hikvision PTZ camera is a security camera that can pan, tilt and zoom by remote control. One camera can cover a wide area and close in on a face or number plate. Operators steer it from a recorder, app or joystick, and many models run preset tours. The range here includes IP and analogue PTZ cameras plus brackets and controllers.

What accessories does a Hikvision PTZ camera need?

A Hikvision PTZ camera usually needs a bracket suited to the surface, such as a wall, corner, pole or pendant mount rated for its weight. A junction box keeps cable joints protected behind the bracket. A joystick keyboard can make manual control easier on larger sites. The range here includes PTZ brackets, junction boxes and keyboard controllers.

What is a Hikvision mini PTZ camera?

A Hikvision mini PTZ camera is a compact dome that can pan, tilt and zoom, suited to shops and smaller outdoor areas. It usually has a shorter optical zoom than a full-size speed dome and is lighter to mount. Some run from a single PoE network cable. The range here includes mini PTZ domes and a matching wall bracket.

How does auto-tracking work on a Hikvision PTZ camera?

Auto-tracking lets a Hikvision PTZ camera follow a person or vehicle by itself once its analytics detect the target. The camera pans, tilts and zooms to keep the subject in view. Some setups pair it with a radar or a panoramic channel that points it at the target. The range here includes PTZ cameras with smart auto-tracking.

How do I connect a PTZ camera to a Hikvision NVR or DVR?

An IP PTZ camera joins a Hikvision NVR over the network, often on a PoE or Hi-PoE cable, and is then added in the recorder's camera menu. An analogue PTZ links to a DVR by coax, with control sent over the coax or a separate RS-485 pair. Check that the camera and recorder use the same control protocol before testing pan and tilt.
