Hikvision DS-2DF8C442IXG-ELW 4MP Outdoor PTZ IP Security Camera with 6.0-252mm Lens, 42x Optical Zoom and Built-In IR

The Hikvision DS-2DF8C442IXG-ELW delivers professional surveillance with 4MP resolution and exceptional 42x optical zoom capabilities. Featuring a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor and DarkFighter technology, this outdoor PTZ camera excels in low-light conditions with minimum illumination of 0.001 Lux in color mode. The motorized 6.0-252mm lens provides flexible coverage from wide-area monitoring to detailed close-ups, making it ideal for large-scale applications such as airports, ports, railways, and critical infrastructure.

Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, this camera features IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant ratings (excluding glass window). The powerful IR illumination extends night vision up to 400 meters with smart supplement light technology that automatically adjusts intensity. With 140 dB True Wide Dynamic Range, the camera captures clear images even in challenging lighting conditions with extreme contrast between bright and dark areas.

Advanced smart features include face capture supporting up to 30 simultaneous faces, perimeter protection with line crossing and intrusion detection, and road traffic capabilities for vehicle and license plate recognition. The camera supports H.265+ compression for efficient bandwidth usage and storage optimization. Smart Pan-Tilt Correction ensures accurate positioning, while the built-in gyroscope enhances Electronic Image Stabilization for smooth video even in windy conditions.
