Product Description
The DS-2AE4225T-A is a 2 MP HD-TVI PTZ speed dome for long-range coverage over coax, not IP cable. It suits perimeter, car park, warehouse and industrial jobs where an operator needs pan/tilt/zoom control from a compatible Hikvision HD-TVI DVR rather than fixed-camera coverage.
Key specs
- Resolution: 2 MP, Full HD 1080p output
- Zoom: 25x optical, 4.8–120 mm focal range
- Low light: Powered-by-DarkFighter technology for enhanced night sensitivity
- WDR: 120 dB, holds detail against strong backlight
- Day/Night: Automatic IR cut filter with Smart IR to prevent IR overexposure of near subjects
- Housing: IP66-rated — water and dust resistant, suitable for external mounting
- Control: Full PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) over HD-TVI DVR link
Cabling and integration
Signal runs over standard coaxial cable, so the unit drops into existing analogue infrastructure without pulling new network cabling. This is the practical case for it on upgrade jobs — retain the coax run, replace the head-end camera, and gain PTZ control through the DVR rather than re-cabling for IP.
PTZ commands (pan, tilt, zoom) are issued from the connected HD-TVI DVR — confirm your DVR model supports HD-TVI PTZ control before specifying this camera on a job, as control protocols vary between platforms.
Housed in a 4-inch dome enclosure rated IP66, it's built for external and semi-exposed mounting positions where dust and moisture ingress would otherwise be a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DS-2AE4225T-A need an IP network to operate?
No. It transmits over standard coaxial cable using the HD-TVI standard, so it works on existing analogue cabling without requiring network infrastructure.
How is PTZ control handled on this camera?
Pan, tilt and zoom are controlled remotely through a compatible Hikvision HD-TVI DVR, allowing an operator to reposition the camera and zoom in on activity from a single connected device.
What resolution and zoom range does it support?
It outputs Full HD 1080p at 2 MP resolution and has a 25x optical zoom lens with a focal range of 4.8mm to 120mm.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor mounting?
Yes, the housing is IP66-rated, giving it water and dust resistance for external and exposed mounting positions.
