The Ultra Series 4MP long-range PTZ flagship
The Hikvision DS-2DF8425IXG1-ELW is a flagship Ultra Series IP PTZ camera. 25x optical zoom range, 400m IR illumination, 140dB WDR for handling extreme contrast, AcuSense AI driving smart tracking that follows detected human and vehicle activity automatically, and the heavy-duty Ultra Series housing built for extended outdoor service in the harshest conditions.
The right call for the priority PTZ position on serious installations: estate primary perimeter monitoring with active operator coverage, industrial yard PTZ at the main entry point, commercial site main-area PTZ with combined wide patrol and tight zoom-in capability, and any application where the camera needs to do more than just sit and watch (it needs to actively follow events as they happen).
What this PTZ is actually good at
- 4MP resolution with 25x optical zoom range.
- 400m IR illumination for night-time long-range coverage.
- 140dB WDR for extreme-contrast scenes (sun-and-shadow, vehicle headlights).
- AcuSense AI smart tracking. Camera automatically follows detected human and vehicle activity.
- Ultra Series heavy-duty housing.
- IP67 weather-sealed.
- Compatible with Hikvision network keyboards for joystick operator control.

Network keyboard control
The full Ultra Series PTZ experience needs proper joystick control. Pair with the DS-1200KI_C network keyboard for medium installations or the DS-1600KI_C for very large control rooms. Compatible with the full Hikvision NVR range. The DS-7616NXI-K2 and larger NVRs are typical pairings.
