Frequently Asked Questions
The camera features a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440 (4 MP). It supports advanced image enhancements including 140 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), 3D DNR, BLC, and HLC to maintain clarity in challenging lighting conditions. With optical defog and built-in image stabilization (EIS supported by a gyroscope), it helps reduce blur and improve visibility in foggy or windy environments. This combination makes it suitable for applications where clear identification and consistent image performance are critical.
The DS-2DF8442IXS-AELW is equipped with IR illumination capable of reaching up to 500 meters. It supports Smart Supplement Light technology, which adjusts IR intensity based on zoom level and scene conditions. The camera also supports 0 Lux operation with IR enabled, ensuring visibility even in complete darkness. This makes it well-suited for large outdoor areas such as highways, ports, and perimeter zones that require long-range night monitoring.
The camera provides 42× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom, with a focal length range of 5.5 mm to 231 mm. The optical zoom allows you to capture distant objects with clarity, while maintaining image quality. Zoom speed is approximately 4.5 seconds from wide to telephoto. This level of zoom flexibility makes it effective for monitoring large areas while still being able to focus on fine details when needed.
Yes, the camera includes advanced deep learning functions such as face capture and face comparison. It supports perimeter protection features including line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance, and region exiting with classification of human and vehicle targets. The system can detect up to 30 faces simultaneously and output the best face image. It also supports manual and auto-tracking, helping operators focus on relevant activity automatically.
The camera is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for demanding outdoor installations. It includes lightning, surge, and voltage transient protection rated at ±6 kV line-to-ground and ±3 kV line-to-line per IEC61000-4-5. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F), with humidity tolerance up to 95%. It also features NEMA 4X and WF2 anti-corrosion protection for moderate corrosive environments.
The camera supports 360° endless pan and a tilt range of -20° to 90° with auto flip functionality. Pan speed is configurable from 0.1° to 240°/s and tilt speed from 0.1° to 150°/s.
