§ 01Overview
What the DH-SD49225-HC-LA1 is
The Dahua DH-SD49225-HC-LA1 is a 2MP HDCVI PTZ that adds motorised pan, tilt and zoom to an analogue coaxial system.
It is an HDCVI analogue camera, not an IP camera, so it connects over coax to an HDCVI XVR or a compatible HD DVR rather than to a network recorder, and it does not use PoE.
This makes it a practical way to upgrade or extend an existing analogue site with a long-range pan-tilt-zoom camera without running new network cable.
A 1/2.8-inch 2MP STARVIS sensor with Starlight low light and 120dB true WDR captures clear 1080p video, and a 25x optical zoom (4.8-120mm) reaches long distances, with a published identify range well beyond 100m for plates and detail.
Smart IR reaches up to 100m for night coverage, and the PTZ supports 300 presets plus tours, patterns and scans.
The IP66 housing suits exposed positions, a wall mount bracket is included, and it runs on a 12V DC/3A supply.
It outputs CVI, TVI, AHD or CVBS for wide recorder compatibility.
It has a line-level audio input for an external microphone rather than a built-in one, and it records monochrome at night under infrared.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DH-SD49225-HC-LA1
Long-range day and night
A 25x optical zoom and 100m Smart IR reach detail across large yards, car parks and perimeters after dark.
Wide recorder compatibility
Four-in-one CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS output works with HDCVI XVRs and most existing HD and SD DVRs.
Built for exposed sites
An IP66 housing with lightning and surge protection and an included wall bracket suits poles and open perimeters.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Analogue system upgrades
Adds a long-range PTZ to an existing coax site without running network cable or changing to IP.
Large yards and perimeters
Sweeps wide areas and zooms to a gate, vehicle or boundary, with 100m IR for night coverage.
Rural and acreage properties
Long zoom and long IR suit monitoring laneways, sheds and approaches across large rural blocks on coax.
Car parks and compounds
Follows movement across a car park or compound and zooms in to read plates or detail at distance.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
Confirm your recorder and control
Connect over coax to an HDCVI XVR or a compatible HD DVR, and set the output format to match. Confirm the recorder can control PTZ over coax or RS-485 to drive pan, tilt and zoom.
Provide 12V DC/3A power
This camera does not use PoE. Provide a dedicated 12V DC/3A supply rated for the camera, allowing for the higher draw with the infrared and PTZ motors active, and run power separately from the coax.
Mount with the included bracket
Fix the PTZ to a wall, pole or parapet using the included wall mount bracket, at a height with a clear, elevated view of the area.
Set presets and tours
Configure presets, tours, patterns and scans so the camera patrols key points automatically, and confirm power-off memory returns it to position after a power cut.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Recorder for coax cameras
Record this HDCVI PTZ on an HD DVR that accepts CVI input, such as the Hikvision iDS-7208HTHI-M2/S Turbo HD DVR (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS), rather than a network NVR; confirm it supports PTZ control.
Storage
Fit a surveillance hard drive such as a 2TB or 6TB drive to the recorder for continuous recording.
Power and mounting
Provide a dedicated 12V DC/3A power supply, as this camera does not use PoE. A wall mount bracket is included in the box; other mounts are available separately.
