Hikvision DS-2DE4225WG-E3 2MP 25× Powered-by-DarkFighter Network PTZ Camera
The Hikvision DS-2DE4225WG-E3 is a professional 2MP network PTZ camera designed for applications where operators require flexible camera positioning, long-range optical zoom and reliable low-light performance. Combining Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution, 25× optical zoom, Powered-by-DarkFighter imaging technology and advanced H.265+ video compression, it is well suited to commercial surveillance environments where one PTZ camera can monitor large areas more efficiently than multiple fixed cameras.
Its 4.8mm–120mm motorised zoom lens enables operators to monitor wide scenes before zooming in to capture greater detail, making it suitable for offices, shopping centres, reception areas, warehouses and commercial buildings.
2MP PTZ Surveillance with 25× Optical Zoom
The camera uses a 1/2.8" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and supports a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080.
Its 25× optical zoom together with 16× digital zoom allows operators to capture detailed images over greater distances while maintaining flexible PTZ coverage from a single camera.
Powered-by-DarkFighter Low-Light Performance
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology helps improve image quality in challenging lighting environments.
The camera also supports 120dB True WDR, 3D Digital Noise Reduction, Digital Defog, Backlight Compensation (BLC), Highlight Compensation (HLC), Area Focus and Area Exposure, helping deliver clearer images in difficult scenes.
Professional PTZ Control
The DS-2DE4225WG-E3 supports a comprehensive PTZ feature set including:
- 360° continuous pan
- 0° to 90° tilt
- 300 programmable presets
- 8 patrols
- 4 pattern scans
- Preset freezing
- Proportional pan
- 3D positioning
- Scheduled PTZ actions
- Power-loss recovery
These functions help automate routine surveillance while allowing operators to respond quickly to changing situations.
Network Recording and Smart Events
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG compression for efficient bandwidth and storage usage.
Recording options include microSD cards up to 256GB, NAS storage and ANR. Smart event functions include:
- Line crossing detection
- Intrusion detection
- Region entrance detection
- Region exiting detection
- Unattended baggage detection
- Object removal detection
- Audio exception detection
For integration into larger systems, the camera also provides 1 audio input, 1 audio output, 1 alarm input, 1 alarm output, RJ45 Ethernet, PoE+ (802.3at) and 12V DC power support.
Important Compatibility Note
The DS-2DE4225WG-E3 is an IP network PTZ camera.
Built-in microphone, built-in speaker, AcuSense, Auto Tracking, ColorVu, IR illumination distance and AI human/vehicle classification are not specified by Hikvision for this exact model and have intentionally not been included in this listing.
