Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE 4MP 25× PTZ Network Camera IR 50m

Overview

The DS-2DE4A425IW-DE is a 4MP PTZ network camera built for single-head coverage of large sites — a 1/2.8″ progressive scan CMOS sensor delivers resolutions up to 2560×1440, so detail holds up even at full zoom.

Optics and coverage

• 25× optical zoom (4.8–120 mm motorised varifocal) plus 16× digital zoom — pulls in usable detail on a distant gate or vehicle from a wide overview position.
• 360° continuous pan, tilt −5° to 90° — no blind spot on the turn when sweeping a perimeter or car park.
• IR illumination to 50 m for night coverage, with 120 dB WDR to manage harsh contrast (bright entrance lighting against a dark yard, for example).

Compression and power

• H.265+ / H.265 / H.264+ compression for bandwidth-efficient recording.
• PoE+ or 12V DC — check your NVR/switch PoE budget before speccing multiple units on one run, as PTZ motors and IR draw more than a fixed camera.

Build

IP66-rated housing for continuous outdoor exposure — suited to transport hubs, industrial sites, warehouses and public squares.

Intelligent functions include intrusion detection, line-crossing detection and smart tracking for automated alerting on larger sites.

One unit can often replace several fixed cameras watching different zones of the same open area, though actual coverage depends on mounting height and site layout.
