Hikvision DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E 4MP 25× AcuSense PTZ Network Speed Dome Camera
The Hikvision DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E is a professional 4MP PTZ network speed dome camera designed for large-area CCTV coverage where operators need flexible zoom control, long-range night performance and smart detection features in one outdoor-ready camera. It combines 25× optical zoom, Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light technology, HIK AI-ISP image processing, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, smart tracking and built-in audio for demanding perimeter, site and infrastructure monitoring applications.
This model is suited to installations where a fixed camera may not provide enough coverage or detail over distance. With its 4.8mm to 120mm motorised zoom lens, the DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E can monitor wider scenes at the short end and zoom in for more detailed views across roads, yards, depots, industrial sites, logistics areas, public spaces and commercial perimeters.
4MP PTZ Surveillance with 25× Optical Zoom
The camera supports a maximum video resolution of 2560 × 1440 and uses a 1/2.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor. Its 25× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom help operators capture more detail over larger spaces without needing multiple fixed cameras to cover the same area.
Powered-by-DarkFighter Low-Light Performance
Hikvision confirms Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance alongside HIK AI-ISP noise reduction technology. This helps improve image clarity in darker environments and can be useful for overnight monitoring, poorly lit yards, transport routes, perimeter lines and wide outdoor areas.
Up to 200m IR Night Vision
For night operation, the DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E supports IR night vision up to 200 metres, making it suitable for longer-range surveillance than standard short-range dome cameras. This is particularly useful for larger commercial or industrial sites, access roads, open yards, car parks and infrastructure locations.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
The camera includes Hikvision AcuSense technology, which focuses on human and vehicle target classification. This helps reduce unnecessary alerts caused by irrelevant movement and improves event filtering for perimeter protection and site monitoring.
Smart Tracking, Face Capture and PTZ Control
The DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E supports manual tracking and auto-tracking, along with face capture and a full PTZ feature set including 300 presets, 8 patrols and 4 pattern scans. This makes it useful for active surveillance environments where operators want the flexibility to follow movement or move quickly between key monitoring points.
Built-In Audio and Audio Visual Warning
Unlike many standard PTZ cameras, this model includes 2 built-in arrayed microphones and a built-in speaker. Hikvision also confirms audio visual alarm functionality, allowing white flashing light and audible warning to be triggered by certain events. This can be useful for deterrence and event response where the installation is configured to use these functions.
Outdoor-Ready PTZ for Harsh Environments
The DS-2DE7A425IWG1-E is designed for outdoor use with IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance and TVS 6000V lightning / surge / transient protection. It supports Hi-PoE or 36V DC power and includes microSD storage support up to 512GB for local edge recording where required.
