DS-2DE5425IWG-E(B)

The 4MP IP PTZ with DarkFighter and AcuSense

If you are putting a PTZ on a smallholding, an estate perimeter, or a serious commercial site, you want every capability the unit can deliver: resolution, zoom range, low-light performance, and AI filtering so you only get alerts that actually matter. The Hikvision DS-2DE5425IWG-E(B) brings all of those together in one unit.

4MP resolution. 25x optical zoom. DarkFighter low-light sensor for usable footage in light levels well below where standard cameras give up. AcuSense AI on the camera itself, classifying every detection as human, vehicle, or background activity. The PTZ that does what a PTZ is supposed to do, with the AI to make the alerts meaningful and the low-light technology to make the footage useful at any time of day.

What this camera is actually good at

• 4MP resolution with 25x optical zoom. Identification-grade detail across the full zoom range.
• DarkFighter low-light technology. Usable colour and detail in light levels far below the threshold for standard cameras.
• AcuSense onboard AI. Classifies humans and vehicles separately from background, alerting only on actual targets.
• 360° endless pan and 90° tilt. No blind angle.
• Auto-tracking. The camera can lock onto a moving subject and follow it through the zoom range automatically.
• Pre-set patrol routes and pattern recording.
• 120 dB true WDR.
• Up to 200 metres IR illumination for serious total-darkness reach.
• IP67 weather-sealed housing. Built for full outdoor pole or mast mounting.

Where this camera makes the most sense

• Larger smallholdings with extensive perimeter and yard coverage requirements
• Security estates with serious AI-driven perimeter monitoring
• Industrial sites covering large open areas with active intrusion detection
• Commercial perimeters where one PTZ replaces multiple fixed cameras and the AI filtering means only real intrusions trigger response
• High-priority residential properties where the PTZ is the active monitoring camera and the rest of the system is fixed AcuSense bullets

If you want different feature sets or higher-end capability

• The DS-2DF8C442IXG1-EL is the higher-end 4MP IP PTZ with extended capabilities for the most demanding installations.
• The DS-2SF8C425MXG-ELW/26(F0) is the high-resolution PTZ option for sites needing maximum detail.

If you want a more affordable option

• The DS-2DE4225IW-DE is the 2MP version of this same form factor, useful when DarkFighter and 4MP are not deciding factors.
• The DS-2DE2C400IWG/W is the 4MP mini-PTZ with Wi-Fi for smaller properties.

Recorder pairings

This camera delivers its full value paired with a Hikvision NVR that supports AcuSense smart search. The DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR is the right pairing for most smallholding installations. Larger sites typically use the DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/S or the DS-9632NXI-I8/S.

PTZ + AcuSense + low-light installation is specialist work

Auto-tracking configuration, AcuSense detection zones across the pan range, DarkFighter and IR transition tuning, preset and patrol pattern setup, and integration with the rest of the AI system all matter. We do that work as standard across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg.
