Extra Info
Dual Lens Advantage
This camera leverages its unique TandemVu design with two independent image sensors. One sensor provides a wide, panoramic overview, while the other is a PTZ camera capable of panning, tilting, and zooming. This combination allows you to monitor a vast area without losing the ability to zoom in on specific points of interest for detailed examination, all from a single device. This is particularly useful for large perimeters, parking lots, or public squares where both situational awareness and close-up identification are critical.
Advanced Low-Light Performance
Hikvision's DarkFighter technology integrated into this camera ensures superior image quality even in challenging low-light scenarios. The panoramic channel features an F1.0 aperture, allowing more light to reach the sensor, resulting in vivid color images even at night. The PTZ channel, with its F1.3 aperture and powerful IR illuminators, delivers clear black and white video up to 300 meters, ensuring comprehensive night surveillance.
Intelligent Analytics and Protection
The camera integrates deep learning functions for enhanced security. This includes perimeter protection capabilities on both panoramic and PTZ channels, allowing for accurate detection of line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting. Furthermore, the PTZ channel supports simultaneous detection and capture of human bodies and faces, which can be invaluable for forensic analysis and real-time alerts. These intelligent features minimize false alarms and improve the efficiency of your security monitoring.
Built for Durability: Designed for outdoor installation, the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26 boasts an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for exposure to various weather conditions. Its IK10 vandal-resistant housing provides robust protection against physical impacts, ensuring the camera remains operational even in high-risk areas.
Q&A
Q: What is TandemVu technology?
A: TandemVu technology combines a fixed panoramic camera with a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera into a single unit. This allows for simultaneous wide-area monitoring and detailed close-up surveillance, providing comprehensive coverage without gaps.
Q: What is the maximum optical zoom?
A: The PTZ channel of this camera offers a powerful 42x optical zoom, allowing you to magnify distant objects without compromising image quality.
Q: Can this camera see in color at night?
A: Yes, the panoramic channel utilizes DarkFighter technology and an F1.0 aperture, enabling 24/7 colorful imaging even in extremely low-light conditions up to 30 meters. The PTZ channel provides IR night vision up to 300 meters.
Q: Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
A: Absolutely. This camera has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance and an IK10 rating for vandal resistance, making it highly durable and suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
Q: What kind of smart features does it have?
A: It supports deep learning functions including perimeter protection (line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exiting detection) on both channels. The PTZ channel also features multi-target type detection for simultaneous capture of human bodies and faces.
Q: What is the DORI distance?
A: DORI stands for Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify. For the PTZ channel (telephoto), the DORI distances are approximately: Detect at 2965.5m, Observe at 1176.8m, Recognize at 593.1m, and Identify at 296.6m.
