01Overview

What the DS-2DF8C425MHS-DELW is

The Hikvision DS-2DF8C425MHS-DELW is a long-range DarkFighterX speed dome made to watch wide perimeters, yards, car parks and public spaces from a single moving camera. A motorised 5.9-147.5 mm lens gives 25x optical zoom, so you can pull a distant face or number plate in close, while continuous 360° pan and -20° to 90° tilt let you or the analytics steer the view anywhere across the scene.

Its strength is seeing in the dark over distance. The dual-sensor DarkFighterX design and an F1.6 aperture capture clean, low-noise images in near-darkness, and Smart Hybrid Light reaches up to 300 m with infrared plus a supplementary white-light option for the longest sight lines. AcuSense deep-learning analytics detect and auto-track human and vehicle targets, and the camera also captures faces and reads number plates (ANPR) for traffic and access tasks. A 140 dB WDR, EIS image stabilisation and optical defog keep footage usable against glare, vibration on a high pole and weather.

Two honest notes so you specify it correctly. This is a DarkFighterX low-light camera, not a 24/7 ColorVu camera - it gives excellent low-light images and uses infrared and supplementary white light at night, rather than full colour around the clock. And it records audio only through a line-in connection: it has no built-in microphone or speaker, so it is not a talk-back camera on its own. It is a large 8-inch dome that draws real power, so plan a Hi-PoE source or 36 VDC supply and a sturdy mount, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR.

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-2DF8C425MHS-DELW

See far in the dark

DarkFighterX low-light imaging with infrared up to 300 m covers sight lines a standard PTZ cannot reach.

Zoom without losing detail

A 25x optical zoom reads distant faces and number plates across large open sites.

Hands-free tracking

AcuSense auto-tracking follows people and vehicles automatically while ANPR logs number plates.

Built for exposed sites

IP67, IK10, EIS stabilisation and optical defog keep it working on high poles and in poor weather.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Industrial yards and depots

Sweep a large site and zoom in on activity at the far fence line at night.

Car parks and forecourts

Track vehicles, read number plates and follow people across a wide vehicle area.

Perimeters and boundaries

Watch a long boundary from one pole-mounted camera with 300 m night reach.

Public spaces and roads

Cover open civic areas and roadways with auto-tracking and ANPR.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2DF8C425MHS-DELW 8-inch DarkFighterX speed dome with mounting hardware and documentation. The Hi-PoE source or 36 VDC power supply, bracket, network cable and any NVR are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount it on a sturdy wall bracket, pole or pendant over the area to cover, allowing for its size and weight. Provide a Hi-PoE source or 36 VDC supply, connect the network, set the presets, patrols and AcuSense auto-tracking and ANPR rules in the software, and add it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR for recording and event search.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2DF8C425MHS-DELW

Q.01

Does the DS-2DF8C425MHS-DELW film in full colour at night?
It is a DarkFighterX low-light camera, not a 24/7 ColorVu camera. Its dual sensor and F1.6 lens give clean images in near-darkness, and Smart Hybrid Light adds infrared up to 300 m with a supplementary white-light option. In infrared the night picture is black-and-white, so it is built for long-range night reach rather than constant full colour.
Q.02

How far can it see at night?
Smart Hybrid Light provides infrared up to 300 m, which is what the 25x optical zoom needs to identify subjects at a distance. White light is available as supplementary lighting for closer range. The DarkFighterX sensor also produces usable images under existing site or street lighting.
Q.03

How much zoom does it have?
It has a 25x optical zoom with a 5.9 to 147.5 mm motorised lens, plus 16x digital zoom. The optical zoom magnifies without losing resolution, so you can read a distant face or number plate, and full pan and tilt let you cover a wide area from one camera.
Q.04

Does it track people and vehicles automatically?
Yes. AcuSense deep-learning analytics detect human and vehicle targets and the camera auto-tracks them, panning, tilting and zooming to follow the target. It also captures faces and reads number plates for traffic and access management.
Q.05

Can I talk and listen through this camera?
No. It records audio only through a line-in input and has no built-in microphone or speaker, so it is not a two-way talk-back camera on its own. Use a dedicated line-in microphone if you need to capture sound at the camera.
Q.06

How is it powered?
It runs on Hi-PoE or a 36 VDC supply. As a large 8-inch PTZ it draws more power than a fixed camera, so make sure your switch, injector or NVR can deliver Hi-PoE, or fit a matching 36 VDC power supply.
Q.07

Is it suitable for harsh outdoor sites?
Yes. It is rated IP67 against dust and heavy rain and IK10 against impact, and it adds EIS image stabilisation and optical defog for high poles and poor weather, so it suits exposed industrial and rural positions in the Australian climate.
Q.08

Which recorder should I use with it?
Use a Hikvision AcuSense-compatible NVR that supports PTZ control and can supply or pass through enough power, so you keep auto-tracking, ANPR and searchable human and vehicle events. Match the channel count to the rest of your cameras.
