01Overview

What the DS-2DE3A400BW-DE is

The Hikvision DS-2DE3A400BW-DE is a compact pan-and-tilt camera that solves the blind-spot problem of a fixed camera without the cost of a full speed dome. Its motorised base pans a full 350° and tilts from 0 to 90°, so you - or an operator - can swing the view across a driveway, forecourt or yard and follow activity as it happens.

What sets it apart at night is ColorVu. An F1.0 super-aperture lens and a sensitive 1/1.8" sensor keep the picture in full colour down to near-darkness, and a white-light supplement reaching up to 30 m fills in when it is truly dark, doubling as a visible deterrent. It records 4 MP at 2560 x 1440, balances harsh light with 120 dB WDR, and uses AcuSense deep-learning analytics to tell people and vehicles apart from animals, rain and moving trees so your alerts stay meaningful. A built-in speaker and audio line-in/out let you set up two-way talk—connect an external microphone to listen in and warn off a visitor.

Two honest points so you buy the right thing. This is a pan-and-tilt camera, not an optical-zoom PTZ: it has a fixed 4 mm lens and 16x digital zoom only, so it moves the view rather than magnifying it optically. And while the housing is IP66 for outdoor use, it is built to ceiling-mount and runs on PoE (802.3at), so plan a single network cable back to a PoE switch or NVR.

Full Color Night Vision

Strobe Light

On detecting activity, the camera can trigger a bright flashing strobe to make an intruder aware they've been spotted — a visible warning rather than silent recording.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2DE3A400BW-DE

Steer the view, kill blind spots

A 350 degree pan and 0-90 degree tilt let one camera cover a wide area instead of a single fixed angle.

True colour after dark

ColorVu with an F1.0 lens and 30 m white light keeps footage in full colour and deters intruders at night.

Listen and warn off

A built-in speaker plus audio line-in/out support two-way talk—add an external mic to challenge a visitor in real time.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Driveways and forecourts

Sweep a wide entrance and follow vehicles and people across the whole approach.

Retail and hospitality

Cover a shopfront or outdoor dining area in full colour with two-way audio for staff.

Gated communities and car parks

Watch open vehicle areas and challenge visitors at the boundary.

Yards and storage areas

Keep colour coverage of an open yard with people-and-vehicle alerts overnight.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2DE3A400BW-DE 4MP ColorVu PT camera with mounting hardware and documentation. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable and any bracket are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Ceiling-mount it on a surface that can carry around 1.1 kg, aimed to cover the area you want to sweep, and run a single network cable back to a PoE (802.3at) switch or NVR. Connect it, then set the pan-and-tilt presets, the ColorVu day/night and white-light behaviour, two-way audio and the AcuSense rules in the software. Add it to a Hikvision NVR for recording.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DE3A400BW-DE

Q.01

Does the DS-2DE3A400BW-DE have optical zoom?
No. It has a fixed 4 mm lens and 16x digital zoom only, so it pans and tilts to move the view across an area rather than optically magnifying a distant subject. If you need to read number plates far away, choose a camera with an optical zoom lens.
Q.02

How far can it pan and tilt?
It pans a full 350 degrees and tilts from 0 to 90 degrees. That lets one camera sweep across a wide driveway, forecourt or yard and follow activity instead of being locked to a single fixed view.
Q.03

Does it really show colour at night?
Yes. ColorVu with an F1.0 lens keeps the image in full colour in very low light, and a white-light supplement reaching up to 30 m fills in when it is fully dark. The white light also acts as a visible deterrent.
Q.04

Can I talk and listen through it?
It has a built-in speaker and audio line-in/out, so it supports two-way talk. The datasheet does not list a built-in microphone, so connect an external mic to the line-in to listen in.
Q.05

Does it tell people and vehicles apart from other movement?
Yes. AcuSense uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets, so motion alarms focus on people and cars and ignore animals, rain and moving foliage, which cuts down false alerts.
Q.06

How is it powered and mounted?
It runs on PoE (802.3at), so a single network cable carries both power and data back to a PoE switch or NVR. It is designed to be ceiling mounted on a surface that can support around 1.1 kg.
Q.07

Is it suitable for outdoors?
Yes. It has an IP66-rated housing against dust and heavy rain, so it can be mounted outside under cover such as an eave or soffit.
Q.08

Which recorder should I use with it?
Connect it to a Hikvision PoE NVR to power it, record continuously and keep its AcuSense and two-way audio features. An 8-channel PoE NVR suits a small site; step up to 16 channels for more cameras.
