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.
