Hikvision DS-2DF8C442IXG1-ELWY 4MP PTZ Camera, 42× Optical, 400 m IR
About this product
Overview
The Hikvision DS-2DF8C442IXG1-ELWY is an outdoor Ultra-series speed‑dome PTZ camera delivering 4 MP (2688×1520) imagery with DarkFighter low‑light performance and very long‑range IR (up to 400 m). It pairs a 42× optical / 16× digital motorised zoom with embedded deep‑learning analytics, smart auto‑tracking and rugged IP67 / IK10 / NEMA 4X protection for perimeter and critical‑infrastructure surveillance.
- High-resolution imaging: 4 MP at up to 60/50 fps, DarkFighter 2.0 for excellent low‑light performance.
- Long-range zoom & focus: 42× optical (6.0–252 mm) with 16× digital zoom and ~4.5 s rapid focus.
- Night coverage: Smart IR illumination up to 400 m.
- Deep‑learning analytics: face capture/comparison, multi‑target detection (people, faces, vehicles) and checkpoint LPR features.
- Rugged & reliable: IP67, IK10 (excluding window), NEMA 4X, heater and auto rain‑sensing wiper; operating −40 °C to 70 °C.
- Flexible power: 36 VDC or Hi‑PoE (802.3bt, up to 60 W).
Use cases: perimeter security, airports & ports, highways and checkpoints, campuses and city/public‑space monitoring. Suitable for professional installers and systems integrators; ensure PoE 802.3bt support or a compatible 36 VDC supply on site.
Installation & compliance notes: consult the official Hikvision datasheet and product page for full installation guidance, firmware downloads and conformity declarations (CE/UKCA where applicable). Follow local regulations for surveillance deployments, secure device configuration (strong passwords, network segmentation, TLS/802.1x) and firmware updates.
