01Overview

What the DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW is

The Hikvision DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW is a flagship 4 MP Ultra-series PTZ built around DarkFighterX, a dual-sensor design that combines two 1/1.8" sensors to deliver clearer, more colourful images in extremely low light than a single sensor can manage. Paired with a 35x optical zoom (5.9 to 206.5 mm), it is made for the hardest long-range jobs: airports, ports, large industrial sites and major infrastructure where you need to see a long way in poor light.

It is a deep-learning camera with on-board analytics. It detects and classifies people and vehicles, runs perimeter rules such as line crossing and intrusion, reads vehicle details, and supports auto-tracking that locks onto a target and follows it across the scene. A built-in gyroscope assists electronic image stabilisation to steady the magnified image on a high mast. Its supplement light is hybrid, combining infrared and white light up to 300 m; DarkFighterX holds colour in low light, but at long range in darkness the camera relies on infrared, so the far night image is black and white.

This is a metal speed dome rated IP67 and IK10 with TVS surge protection, optical defog and a wide operating temperature range, built for continuous outdoor duty. It is powered by Hi-PoE or 36 VDC, well above standard PoE, so check your switch, injector or recorder can supply it. Audio is via a line-in and line-out for external devices rather than a built-in microphone. Record it to a Hikvision NVR that supports the AI metadata and the bandwidth of a high-end PTZ.

What the DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW 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.

Dual-Light Night Vision

Combines infrared with a warm spotlight so it can light a scene in colour at night rather than relying on black-and-white alone — clearer, more useful footage when there's something to see.

Full Color Night Vision

Unlike plain black-and-white night vision, this camera can capture colour after dark — so you can pick out the actual colour of a car, a jacket or a bag, detail that grey infrared footage loses.

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.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW

Sees in near-dark

A dual-sensor DarkFighterX design delivers clearer low-light images than a single sensor.

Long-range tracking

A 35x optical zoom with deep-learning auto-tracking follows people and vehicles across a site.

Steady at extreme zoom

A gyroscope assists stabilisation to hold the magnified image steady on a high mast.

Built for the toughest sites

IP67, IK10, TVS surge protection and 300 m supplement light suit airports, ports and infrastructure.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Airports and ports

Track activity across aprons, quays and runways in poor light with long-range zoom.

Critical infrastructure

Watch substations, dams and plants with deep-learning detection and auto-tracking.

Large industrial sites

Cover a vast yard from one mast and follow vehicles and people automatically.

Major perimeters

Patrol a long boundary and alarm only on human or vehicle intrusions, day or night.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW PTZ speed dome with mounting hardware and a quick guide. The Hi-PoE source or 36 VDC supply, network cable, microSD card and any pole or wall bracket are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount it high on a pole or mast with a clear, unobstructed view for the long zoom, and power it with Hi-PoE or 36 VDC from a capable switch, injector or NVR. Set the presets, patrols, auto-tracking and AI rules in the software, and record it to a Hikvision NVR that supports the AI metadata and PTZ bandwidth.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW

Q.01

What is DarkFighterX on the DS-2DF8C435MHS-DELW?

DarkFighterX is a dual-sensor design that combines two image sensors to produce clearer, more colourful pictures in extremely low light than a single sensor can. It is aimed at sites that need usable images in near-dark conditions over long distances.
Q.02

How far can it see?

It has a 35x optical zoom (5.9 to 206.5 mm) for long-range detail and a hybrid supplement light up to 300 m. It is built for large open sites such as airports, ports and major perimeters rather than a small property.
Q.03

Does it record in full colour at night?

DarkFighterX holds colour in very low light far better than an ordinary camera, and a white-light element can support colour at closer range, but at long distance in darkness it relies on infrared, so the far night image is black and white. It is not full colour at 300 m.
Q.04

Does it track people and vehicles automatically?

Yes. It uses deep-learning detection to classify people and vehicles, supports auto-tracking that follows a target, and can run perimeter rules that alarm on chosen target types, which cuts false alarms from weather and animals.
Q.05

What power does it need?

It uses Hi-PoE or 36 VDC, which is well above standard PoE or PoE+. The dual sensors, long zoom, supplement light and heater draw significant power, so make sure your switch, injector or NVR can supply Hi-PoE.
Q.06

Does it have a built-in microphone?

No. It provides a line-in and a line-out for external audio devices rather than a built-in microphone or speaker. Add your own audio hardware if you need sound.
Q.07

What recorder do I need?

Record it to a Hikvision NVR that supports its AI metadata and the bandwidth of a high-end PTZ, such as a 16-channel AcuSense NVR. Make sure the NVR or your switch can deliver Hi-PoE, or use the power adaptor.
Q.08

Is it suitable for the harshest sites?

Yes. It is rated IP67 and IK10 with TVS surge protection, optical defog and a wide operating temperature range, so it is built for continuous duty on exposed, large-scale outdoor sites.

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 8 TB for weeks of continuous footage.

02

Power a Hi-PoE PTZ

This PTZ needs Hi-PoE or 36 VDC, well above standard PoE. Use a Hi-PoE port on the recorder, a dedicated Hi-PoE injector, or the supplied power adaptor.

03

Step down the zoom range

If 35x is more reach than you need, the 36x DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL PTZ offers similar deep-learning tracking, while the smaller 25x mini PTZ suits closer sites.
