Description

Hikvision DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26 4MP TandemVu AI PTZ Camera

The Hikvision DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26 is a dual-sensor TandemVu PTZ dome camera that combines panoramic surveillance with high-precision zoom capability. This 4MP system delivers comprehensive coverage for large outdoor areas, featuring a panoramic channel with a 190° horizontal field of view and a dedicated PTZ channel with 42× optical zoom, enabling operators to simultaneously monitor wide areas and focus on specific details.

Key Features

  • Dual-Channel Design: Panoramic channel (3632 × 1632) paired with PTZ channel (2560 × 1440) for simultaneous wide and zoomed monitoring
  • 42× Optical Zoom with 16× Digital Zoom: Rapid 5.6-second zoom speed and 300 presets for quick positioning
  • Advanced Night Vision: Panoramic IR up to 30m, PTZ IR up to 300m; operates in complete darkness (0 Lux with IR); color operation at 0.0005 Lux
  • 120 dB WDR: Dual 120 dB wide dynamic range across both channels for backlit and high-contrast scenes
  • AI-Powered Smart Detection: Line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance/exit detection, and multi-target human/face recognition on PTZ channel
  • Smart Tracking: Automatic target tracking with manual override and takeover capabilities
  • Comprehensive Motion Coverage: 360° endless pan, ±20° to 90° tilt range, configurable pan speed to 160°/s (preset 240°/s)
  • IP67 & IK10 Rated: Fully sealed construction with TVS 6000V lightning protection, rated for -40°C to 70°C operation
  • Integrated Illumination: Panoramic white light (30m range) and PTZ IR (300m range) with smart light control
  • Advanced Image Processing: Optical defog, 3D DNR, EIS with gyroscope stabilization, HLC enhancement

Technical Specifications

  • Sensors: Dual 1/1.8" Progressive Scan CMOS (panoramic and PTZ channels)
  • Optics: Panoramic 2.8mm F1.0; PTZ 6-252mm F1.3 with auto/semi-auto/manual focus
  • Video Compression: H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 with multiple stream support (main, sub, third)
  • Frame Rate: Up to 30 fps at maximum resolution (60 Hz mode)
  • Power: PoE Hi-PoE 36 VDC ±25%, max 60W
  • Network: 1 × 100M Ethernet, ONVIF/ISAPI/SDK compatible
  • Storage: MicroSD/microSDHC/microSDXC (up to 256GB), NAS support with ANR
  • Audio: Dual-channel audio input/output with G.711, G.726, AAC-LC, PCM support
  • Connectivity: RS-485 (Pelco-P/D compatible), 7 alarm inputs, 2 alarm outputs

Applications

Ideal for airports, ports, traffic intersections, large parking facilities, critical infrastructure, and open campus environments requiring simultaneous panoramic awareness with targeted zoom investigation. The persistent panoramic view detects incidents while the PTZ channel captures high-detail evidence simultaneously.

The TandemVu architecture solves the traditional PTZ blind-spot problem by maintaining constant panoramic coverage while allowing targeted zoom operations. The dual 120 dB WDR implementation ensures detail preservation across both channels during extreme lighting transitions. The 0.0001 Lux B/W sensitivity combined with 300m IR range enables identification-grade night capture.

Smart tracking with human/face detection provides automated response to perimeter threats. Integration of gyroscope-assisted EIS and optical defog makes this platform suitable for demanding outdoor environments with vibration and atmospheric challenges. The 42× optical reach (252mm equivalent) at F1.3 delivers subject detail at distance without optical quality degradation inherent to pure digital zoom.
