01Overview

What the DS-2DE4A204IWDE is

The Hikvision DS-2DE4A204IW-DE is a compact 2 MP outdoor PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera. Unlike a fixed camera, it rotates a full 360 degrees continuously, tilts, and zooms in with a 4x optical lens (2.8 to 12 mm), so one unit can patrol a wide area on a schedule and then zoom in on a person or vehicle when needed. You can drive it live from the app or recorder, set up to 300 preset positions, and run patrols and patterns between points of interest.

The 2 MP sensor records smooth 1080p, and DarkFighter low-light technology keeps the image usable as light fades; in darkness the camera switches to infrared up to 50 m, so the night image is black and white rather than colour.
This is a metal mini PTZ rated IP66 for dust and water, powered by PoE+ (802.3at) or 12 VDC. It suits a yard, car park or building corner where you want both wide coverage and the ability to zoom in, rather than a fixed view. Note this model is reaching end of life, so if you need ongoing supply for a larger rollout, ask us about the current equivalent; for a single PTZ position it remains a capable, well-priced choice. Record it to a Hikvision NVR.

50m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 50m — good for longer driveways, car parks and wider properties. People and vehicles stay visible well beyond the reach of a porch light.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2DE4A204IWDE

Wide coverage plus zoom

A 360 degree PTZ with 4x optical zoom sweeps an area and closes in on detail from one position.

Useful after dark

DarkFighter imaging and 50 m infrared keep it working through the night.

Set and forget patrols

Up to 300 presets with patrols and patterns cover points of interest automatically.

Built for outdoors

An IP66 metal body handles dust and rain on exposed corners and poles.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Yards and car parks

Patrol a wide open area and zoom in on a vehicle or a person when something happens.

Building corners

Cover two sides of a building from one PTZ and follow movement manually.

Acreage and rural blocks

Sweep a large property from a central pole and close in on the gate or shed.

Events and overflow areas

Move between preset views of an area that changes use through the day.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2DE4A204IW-DE PTZ camera with mounting hardware and a quick guide. The PoE+ switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any wall or pole bracket are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount it on a wall, corner or pole with a clear view of the area, and run one network cable back to a PoE+ (802.3at) source or use 12 VDC. Set the presets, patrols and home position in the software, and record it to a Hikvision NVR.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DE4A204IWDE

Q.01

What does the DS-2DE4A204IW-DE do that a fixed camera cannot?
It pans a full 360 degrees, tilts and zooms in with a 4x optical lens. One PTZ can patrol a wide area on a schedule, follow a preset tour, and zoom in on a person or vehicle, which a fixed camera cannot do from a single position.
Q.02

How much can it zoom?
It has a 4x optical zoom on a 2.8 to 12 mm motorised lens, plus digital zoom. Optical zoom keeps the image sharp as you close in, so it is the figure to go by for usable detail at a distance.
Q.03

Does it record in colour at night?
It uses DarkFighter low-light imaging to hold a usable picture as light fades, but in darkness it switches to infrared up to 50 m, so the night image is black and white. It is not a full-colour-at-night camera.
Q.04

How is it powered?
It runs on PoE+ (802.3at) over a single network cable, or on 12 VDC. A PTZ draws more than a basic camera, so make sure your switch or NVR supplies 802.3at, not just standard PoE.
Q.05

Can it follow movement automatically?
It is built around manual control, presets and scheduled patrols rather than automatic target tracking. For hands-off human and vehicle auto-tracking, step up to a deep-learning PTZ such as the Ultra-series models.
Q.06

Is it suitable for outdoors?
Yes. It has an IP66-rated metal housing for dust and water and operates across a wide temperature range, so it suits exposed outdoor corners and poles in the Australian climate.
Q.07

What recorder works with it?
Record it to a Hikvision NVR with a spare PoE+ port or via a PoE+ switch or injector. Plan the channel and bandwidth as you would for any 1080p camera.
Q.08

Is this model current?
It is reaching end of life. It is still a capable single-position PTZ, but for a larger or future-proofed rollout ask us about the current equivalent so supply and firmware stay supported.

Buying from Smarket

Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?

Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.

How long does delivery take?

Metro delivery usually takes 2–4 business days after dispatch, and regional areas may take longer. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.

What warranty do you offer?

All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.

Do you offer installation?

We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.

01

Record and review it

Feed it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 16-channel DS-7732NXI-I4/16P NVR for larger sites, or the 8-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P for smaller ones. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 6 TB for weeks of continuous footage.

02

Power a PTZ properly

A PTZ needs PoE+ (802.3at), so power it from a PoE+ port on the recorder or a dedicated injector rather than a basic PoE switch.

03

Need more reach?

For long-range zoom on large sites, step up to the 25x DS-2DE4A225IW-DE PTZ, which reaches much further with the same controls.
