§ 01Overview

What the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3(2.8-12MM) is

The Hikvision DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 is a compact 4MP mini PTZ camera for small sites that want pan, tilt and zoom without the size, cost or power demands of a full PTZ dome.

It captures 2560 x 1440 video (a 4MP camera, not 4K) and uses a 2.8-12mm motorised lens for 4x optical zoom, so you can sweep an area and then zoom in on a door, counter or gate.

A useful practical point is power: it runs on standard PoE (802.3af, around 9W), so it does not need the PoE+ switch that larger PTZ cameras require, which keeps the install simpler and cheaper.

The small dome is discreet, and the IP66 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant housing lets you mount it in exposed or higher-contact spots such as a lobby or entry.

Smart IR reaches about 20 metres and adjusts intensity to avoid washing out close subjects, and 120dB WDR holds detail in mixed lighting like a shopfront window.

The camera supports presets and patrol routes for automatic scanning, a microSD card up to 256GB for on-board recording, and a line in/out audio interface for an external microphone or speaker (there is no built-in microphone).

It is normally fitted by a security or cabling technician.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3(2.8-12MM)

Pan, tilt and zoom on a budget

A small PTZ with 4x optical zoom lets you cover an area and zoom in on a door or counter without a full-size, expensive PTZ dome.

Standard PoE, simpler install

It runs on ordinary 802.3af PoE rather than PoE+, so it works on common switches and NVR ports with no special power planning.

Discreet and tough

The compact dome is unobtrusive, while IP66 and IK10 ratings let you mount it outdoors or in high-contact areas.

Backed locally

Supplied by an authorised dealer with a 3-year Australian warranty and support.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Small retail or office entries

Ceiling-mount it to check the door and counter, panning and zooming to follow activity as needed.

Apartment lobbies

The IK10 dome handles rough treatment, and the compact size does not intimidate residents and visitors.

Front entries and patios

Zoom in to confirm faces at the door from a wider mounting position, with 20m IR for the surrounding area at night.

Small car parks and courtyards

Pan to sweep a small lot and zoom onto a vehicle, with IR covering the area after dark.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Power

Standard PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC. A common PoE switch or NVR port is enough; no PoE+ is required.

02

Mounting

Use a pendant or wall bracket and allow clearance for the dome to pan and tilt freely. The unit is about 0.5kg.

03

Cabling

Run one Cat5e/6 cable, maximum 100m, from the switch or NVR to the camera position.

04

Setup

In Australia a network camera is usually fitted by a licensed security installer or a competent IT/cabling technician, who runs the Cat5e/6 cable, terminates the RJ45, mounts the unit and adds it to the NVR or app. Add it in Hik-Connect or your NVR, then set preset positions and patrol routes.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3(2.8-12MM)

Q.01

Is this a 4K camera?

No. It is a 4MP camera with 2560 x 1440 resolution. Some older listings call it 4K by mistake; the sensor and output are 4MP.
Q.02

Does it need a PoE+ switch?

No. It runs on standard PoE (802.3af), drawing around 9W, so a common PoE switch or NVR port powers it. You can also use a 12V DC supply.
Q.03

How much zoom does it have?

It has 4x optical zoom across a 2.8-12mm motorised lens, plus 16x digital zoom. Optical zoom keeps full image quality; digital zoom does not.
Q.04

Does it have a built-in microphone?

No. It has a line in/out audio interface for connecting an external microphone and speaker, but no microphone is built into the camera.
Q.05

How far does the night vision reach?

Smart IR covers about 20 metres and adjusts brightness so close subjects are not overexposed. Night footage is black and white.
Q.06

Is it weatherproof and vandal-resistant?

Yes. It is IP66-rated against rain and dust and IK10-rated against impact, so it suits exposed and higher-contact positions.
Q.07

Can it run preset tours and patrols?

Yes. It supports preset positions and patrol routes for automatic scanning, set through the web interface, Hik-Connect or an NVR.
Q.08

Does it record on board?

Yes. It has a microSD slot supporting a card up to 256GB for local recording alongside or instead of an NVR.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

02
