Extra Info
Intelligent Target Classification
This camera leverages advanced deep learning algorithms to accurately distinguish between human and vehicle targets. This intelligent classification significantly reduces the occurrence of false alarms triggered by irrelevant movements, allowing your security system to focus on genuine threats and critical events. This means more efficient monitoring and fewer unnecessary alerts for homeowners and more precise data for commercial installations.
Superior Low-Light Performance
Powered by Hikvision's DarkFighter technology, the DS-2DE4A425IWG-E excels in dimly lit environments. Even with minimal ambient light, the camera produces remarkably clear and detailed color images, extending your surveillance capabilities beyond daylight hours and into the night, making it perfect for monitoring large outdoor areas where lighting might be inconsistent.
Dynamic Range for Challenging Lighting
With 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, this camera masterfully handles scenes with extreme variations in lighting, such as entrances with bright sunlight outside and darker interiors. It balances the exposure across the entire image, ensuring that both overly bright and overly dark areas are clearly visible, providing a comprehensive view of the scene.
Expansive Coverage with PTZ and Zoom
The camera's pan (360°) and tilt (-5° to 90°) capabilities, combined with a powerful 25x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom, provide extensive coverage and the ability to hone in on specific details. This makes it ideal for monitoring large properties, open fields, parking lots, or any area where dynamic and detailed surveillance is required. The ability to set up presets, patrol scans, and pattern scans further automates monitoring tasks, saving time and increasing efficiency.
