§ 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.
