Hikvision DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T5) 8MP 42x DarkFighter PTZ
Monitor large sites and inspect distant activity with a long-range optical zoom and powerful infrared illumination. This professional speed dome suits applications where an operator needs both broad observation and detailed inspection.
Long-Range Imaging
- 8MP 3840 × 2160 imaging from a 1/1.2-inch CMOS sensor.
- 42x optical zoom with a 7.5–315mm lens; 16x digital zoom.
- DarkFighter low-light imaging and infrared illumination up to 500m.
- 140dB WDR, optical defog and gyroscope-assisted electronic stabilisation.
- IP67 protection and IK10 impact resistance excluding the glass window.
- Manual/automatic tracking, face capture and human/vehicle perimeter functions.
Control and Integration
| Movement | 360° pan; -20° to 90° tilt with auto-flip. |
| Presets | 300 presets, 8 patrols and 4 patterns. |
| Recording | H.265+/H.265; microSD support up to 256GB. |
| Connections | 7 alarm inputs, 2 outputs; one audio input/output. |
Using a PTZ Camera Effectively
Set presets for key entrances, gates and loading areas so an operator can return to useful views quickly. A zoomed-in PTZ sees a smaller area, so consider a separate fixed overview camera where uninterrupted coverage is important.
Confirm the NVR supports PTZ control and the selected recording format. Allow for the camera’s maximum power demand and cable run, especially when infrared illumination is active. Use a suitable mounting bracket and protect all external connections.
Power Planning
This high-performance PTZ requires the correctly specified power supply or injector for its exact hardware revision. Confirm power and accessory requirements before connecting it to an existing installation.
