Equipped with Hikvision DarkFighter technology, the camera ensures superior color performance down to 0.005 Lux before switching to smart infrared illumination with a range of up to 20 meters. A true 120 dB WDR system ensures balanced exposure in spaces with strong backlighting or glass entryways.

  • Integrated Audio Capture: Built-in microphone with environmental noise filtering captures clear audio within a 5-meter radius, complemented by 1 audio input and 1 audio output.
  • Smart Event Detection: Supports face detection, line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit, unattended baggage, and audio exception detection.
  • Smooth PTZ Positioning: Features 0° to 355° pan and 0° to 90° tilt with up to 300 presets and proportional panning speed.

Durable Mini-Dome Design and Flexible Installation

Engineered for secure commercial deployment, the camera features an IK10 vandal-proof rating and IP66 weather resistance. It supports direct surface mounting or versatile pendant and wall installations via optional brackets. Power can be supplied via standard PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC (9.2 W max), while local edge storage supports microSD cards up to 256 GB.

FAQ

How does the 4X optical zoom help with outdoor security camera placement?

The 2.8-12mm motorized lens lets you zoom in on details like license plates or faces without losing clarity. You can adjust the field of view remotely to cover different areas.
What does the built-in microphone do?

It captures audio in real time, so you can hear what's happening near the camera. This is useful for verifying alarms or monitoring activity without buying a separate audio device.
What mounting options are supported?

The camera can be directly surface-mounted onto flat ceilings out of the box using its base mounting holes. For wall or drop-ceiling installations, optional accessories such as the DS-1294ZJ-PT wall mount or DS-1297ZJ / DS-1299ZJ pendant extension brackets are available.
Can I control the pan and tilt remotely?

Yes. You can pan 355° and tilt 90° at up to 100°/s using the Hik-Connect app or your NVR. You can also set up to 300 preset positions for quick one-click patrols.
