Hikvision DS-2DE2C400MW-DE(S7) 4 MP PTZ Network Camera
When you need one camera to do the job of many, the DS-2DE2C400MW-DE is built to step in with confidence. This compact PTZ camera combines sharp 4 MP imaging, smooth pan-and-tilt control, and strong low-light performance so you don’t miss what matters. Whether you’re monitoring after hours or keeping an eye on wide outdoor areas, it’s designed to give you clarity without constant manual intervention. The result is simpler monitoring, fewer blind spots, and more peace of mind.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
Buyers choose the DS-2DE2C400MW-DE because it reduces complexity while increasing coverage. Instead of installing multiple fixed cameras, this PTZ model lets you see more, react faster, and store video more efficiently. It’s especially valued by users who want reliable low-light visibility, flexible installation, and dependable outdoor performance in a single unit.
Key Features & Buyer Benefits
- 4 MP (2560 × 1440) resolution — gives you sharper images, making it easier to identify people, vehicles, and activity without second-guessing footage.
- Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light imaging — helps you maintain usable video in dim conditions, reducing blind spots after sunset.
- IR and white light illumination (up to 30 m) — ensures visibility at night even when there’s no ambient light available.
- PTZ movement (0°–340° pan, -5°–105° tilt) — allows one camera to actively cover large areas, saving you from installing multiple devices.
- H.265 video compression — lowers storage and bandwidth usage so you spend less on hard drives and network upgrades.
- Built-in microphone and speaker — adds audio context to video, giving you more information than visuals alone.
- microSD card support up to 256 GB — provides local backup recording, helping protect footage if the network goes down.
- IP66-rated housing — helps the camera stand up to dust and water exposure in outdoor installations.
- PoE or 12 VDC power options — simplifies installation by giving you flexibility based on your existing infrastructure.
What This Helps You Avoid
This camera helps you avoid the frustration of piecing together coverage from multiple fixed cameras that still leave gaps. It reduces the stress of unusable nighttime footage caused by poor lighting or glare. You also avoid high storage costs thanks to efficient compression and local recording options. In short, it replaces guesswork and constant adjustments with reliable, flexible monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-2DE2C400MW-DE delivers a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440, which is classified as 4 MP. This higher resolution allows for clearer detail compared to standard 1080p cameras. It helps improve subject recognition, such as identifying people or vehicles at a distance. Multiple resolution options are also supported to balance image quality with bandwidth usage.
This camera uses Powered-by-DarkFighter technology, which enhances image quality in low-light environments. It can capture color images down to 0.005 Lux when AGC is enabled, and provides visibility in complete darkness using IR illumination. The built-in IR and white light both offer up to 30 meters of illumination. This makes the camera suitable for nighttime monitoring without relying solely on external lighting.
Yes, the DS-2DE2C400MW-DE is a PTZ camera with a pan range of 0° to 340° and a tilt range of -5° to 105°. This wide movement range allows a single camera to cover more area than a fixed lens model. Pan and tilt speeds are configurable, providing smooth and controlled movement. This is useful for tracking activity or adjusting views remotely.
The camera supports H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression formats. H.265 helps reduce bandwidth and storage usage while maintaining image quality. H.264 profiles include Baseline, Main, and High profiles for compatibility with different systems. This flexibility makes the camera easier to integrate into existing surveillance setups.
Yes, the camera includes both a built-in microphone and a built-in speaker. It supports multiple audio compression formats such as G.711, G.722.1, AAC, and PCM. Environment noise filtering is also supported to help improve audio clarity. These features allow audio monitoring and potential two-way communication depending on system configuration.
The DS-2DE2C400MW-DE includes a built-in memory card slot for local storage. It supports microSD, SDHC, and SDXC cards with a maximum capacity of up to 256 GB. Local storage can be used for backup recording or standalone deployments. The memory card itself is not included and must be purchased separately.
The camera can be powered using 12 VDC or Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE follows the IEEE 802.3af standard and simplifies installation by using a single network cable. Maximum power consumption is 9 W with DC power and up to 10.8 W with PoE. Reverse polarity protection is also included for added safety.
Yes, the camera is rated IP66, which means it is protected against dust and strong water jets. It is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -30 °C and up to 50 °C depending on lighting mode. This makes it suitable for many outdoor environments. However, the datasheet notes that it has no specific anti-corrosion protection.
The camera supports a wide range of network protocols including IPv4, IPv6, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, TCP/IP, and DHCP. It is compatible with ONVIF, ISAPI, and SDK interfaces for integration. These options make it easier to connect the camera with third-party VMS platforms. Remote access and system compatibility are enhanced through these supported standards.
The camera measures 162 mm × 120 mm × 234.2 mm (6.4″ × 4.7″ × 9.2″). Its net weight is approximately 700 g (1.5 lb). With packaging, the total weight is about 1250 g (2.8 lb). These dimensions help with planning mounting and installation requirements.
