What the DS-2DF8442IXS-AELWY(T5) features actually look like

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

4MP Ultra HD

4MP captures roughly twice the detail of standard 1080p.

False Alarm Reduction

Filtering helps separate real activity from harmless movement like rain, leaves or pets, so you get fewer pointless notifications and the alerts that matter stand out.

Human/Vehicle Detection

Smart detection focuses on people and vehicles and can ignore things like swaying branches, rain or small animals — helping cut down false alerts and making the right moments easier to find.

IP67 Weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water to IP67, built to keep working through rain, storms and harsh sun — suitable for fully outdoor mounting.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2DF8442IXS-AELWY(T5)

6–252 mm lens. Zoom from a wide 57° view to a pinpoint 1.5° to read plates or faces hundreds of metres away.

400 m IR Night Vision

The longest IR range in the Hikvision PTZ lineup. Covers large open areas, perimeters, and long roads in complete darkness.

DarkFighter 1/1.8" Sensor

0.002 lux colour performance. Maintains usable colour footage before IR activates.

Face Capture and Vehicle Detection

Deep learning captures and grades faces in motion. Also detects vehicles for road-traffic applications.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Large Industrial Site or Port

400 m IR lights up an entire compound. 42× zoom reads plates and identifies people at extreme range.

Highway or Road Monitoring

Vehicle detection and face capture support traffic analytics. DarkFighter handles headlights and low ambient light.

Airport or Critical Infrastructure

360° pan with rapid preset recall. Face capture indexes targets for fast search. IK10 resists tampering.

Large Farm or Rural Property

Covers vast open areas with a single camera. Long IR eliminates the need for external lights.

    • Wall mount bracket × 1
    • Quick Start Guide × 1
  2. Installation Requirements

    • Power: PoE++ (Hi-PoE, 60W) or 24V AC. This is a high-power PTZ — standard PoE is not enough.
    • Cable: Cat5e or Cat6, max 100 m for PoE++. 24V AC requires a separate power run.
    • Mounting: Pole, wall, or parapet mount. Camera weighs about 8.5 kg — use heavy-duty brackets rated for the load plus wind.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DF8442IXS-AELWY(T5)

Q.01

Does it need PoE++?

Yes. It draws up to 60 W. Standard PoE (15 W) and PoE+ (30 W) are not enough. Use a Hi-PoE injector or 24V AC.
Q.02

How far can the 42× zoom actually see?

At 252 mm, the field of view is about 1.5°. In good light you can identify a person at 200+ metres and read a plate at 100+ metres.
Q.03

Is 4 MP enough at this zoom level?

Yes. At full zoom the field of view is very narrow, so 4 MP captures plenty of detail in that small area.
Q.04

Does it have a wiper?

Some variants (AELW) include a wiper. Check the specific model suffix. The AELY variant does not include a wiper.
Q.05

How heavy is it?

About 8.5 kg. Plan your bracket and pole accordingly.
