Hikvision DS-2DE4225IW-DE 2MP Outdoor Mini IR PTZ Camera, H.265+, 100m IR, 25x Zoom, IP66, PoE+, 12VDC
The Hikvision DS-2DE4225IW-DE is a 2 MP outdoor PTZ that pans, tilts and zooms to cover large areas from a single camera. A 25x optical zoom brings distant subjects in close, Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light technology keeps dusk scenes clean, 100 m infrared lights the dark, and AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify people and vehicles. The IP66 housing handles Australian outdoor conditions and runs on 12 VDC or PoE+.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-2DE4225IW-DE is
The Hikvision DS-2DE4225IW-DE is a 2 MP speed dome that covers a wide area - a yard, car park, road or perimeter - from one moving camera instead of several fixed ones.
A motorised 4.8-120 mm lens gives 25x optical zoom, so you can pull a distant subject in close without losing resolution, and a full 360° endless pan with -15° to 90° tilt lets you steer or auto-patrol the view across the whole scene.
It is built for low light.
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology keeps dusk and pre-dawn images clean before the infrared comes on, and when it is fully dark the IR reaches up to 100 m for long-range night coverage.
120 dB WDR holds detail against headlights and bright backgrounds, and AcuSense deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets - and capture up to five faces - so alarms and smart events stay focused on real activity.
It stores 300 presets plus patrol and pattern scans for automated tours.
Two honest notes.
This is an infrared PTZ, not a ColorVu camera, so its night images are black-and-white rather than full colour.
And it provides audio through line-in and line-out terminals rather than a built-in microphone or speaker, so plan an external audio device if you need sound.
Power it from 12 VDC or PoE+ (802.3at) - it includes a heater for cold mornings - and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR.
