Description

A compact PTZ dome,
with 25× zoom and auto-tracking.
The DS-2DE4A425IW-DE is a compact 4 MP PTZ dome, only 161 mm tall, with a 4.8 to 120 mm lens, 50 m of IR, fast 300°/s pan and smart tracking, powered from a single PoE+ port.
In one sentence: the DS-2DE4A425IW-DE is a Hikvision compact 4 MP PTZ dome with 25× optical zoom (4.8 to 120 mm), 50 m IR, 360° endless pan, manual, auto and event tracking, IP66, and 12 VDC or PoE+ power.
Camera only. Mounts and recorder are separate.
This listing is the PTZ dome. It needs a PoE+ (802.3at) port or a 12 VDC supply rated for up to 18 W, an NVR or video management software, and a wall, pendant or ceiling mount if it is not going straight onto a surface.
- DS-2DE4A425IW-DE speed dome
- A wall, pendant, pole or corner mount if needed (ask us which suits)
- A PoE+ (802.3at) switch or injector, or a 12 VDC supply, rated for at least 18 W
- Cat5e or Cat6 cable
- An NVR or video management software
Let it follow the person for you.
Smart tracking follows a moving person or vehicle across the camera's coverage, either on its own or when a line crossing or intrusion alarm fires. Pan runs at up to 300°/s, so it gets to a preset quickly.

Lens and IR
25× optical, 100 m IR.
A 1/2.5" sensor and 4.8 to 120 mm lens zoom from 57.6° to 2.5° in about 3.2 s, with 16× digital on top. Colour down to 0.005 lux, and smart IR covers up to 50 m.

Housing
IP66 in a compact body.
Ø 169 × 161 mm and about 2.45 kg, rated IP66 with 4000 V lightning, surge and voltage transient protection. Runs from −30 °C to 65 °C.
How it goes in
From wall to first patrol.
01
Fit the mount
Mount it on a solid surface, or use a wall, pendant, pole or corner mount rated for a 2.45 kg dome.
02
Run one cable
Cat5e or Cat6 from a PoE+ (802.3at) port, or a 12 VDC supply, rated for up to 18 W.
03
Activate and add it
Set the admin password in a browser or iVMS-4200, then add it to your NVR, HikCentral Pro or Hik-Connect.
04
Set presets and alarms
Save presets, patrols and patterns, then set line crossing or intrusion rules and turn on auto or event tracking.

What else you need
Mount
Wall, pendant or pole mount
It can sit straight on a ceiling or soffit. For walls, poles and corners, ask us for the right Hikvision mount.
Power
PoE+ or 12 VDC
Up to 18 W including the IR, so use an 802.3at (PoE+) port, not standard PoE.
Recorder
An NVR or VMS
A Hikvision NVR gets the most from presets, tracking and smart events.
Storage
A microSD card
Optional, up to 256 GB, as backup when the network drops (ANR).
Where it is used
Where a compact PTZ dome earns its keep.
Shop floors and showrooms
A low-profile dome under a ceiling that tracks people across the floor.
Warehouses and yards
Cover gates, docks and fences from one corner of the building.
Schools and campuses
Quadrangles and car parks covered by patrols after hours.
Farms and rural sites
Sheds, gates and driveways, with 100 m IR at night.
Foyers and lobbies
Compact enough for a ceiling, with 25× zoom on the entry doors.
Car parks
Auto-tracking follows a person between the rows, with 50 m IR at night.

Common questions
How far can it zoom?
25× optical, with a 4.8 to 120 mm lens, plus 16× digital. Wide to tele takes about 3.2 seconds.
How far can it see at night?
Smart IR reaches up to 50 m. In colour it works down to 0.005 lux at F1.6, and down to 0.001 lux in black and white.
What power does it need?
12 VDC or PoE+ (802.3at, class 4), with a maximum of 18 W. A standard 802.3af PoE port is not enough.
Is a mount included?
It can be fixed straight to a ceiling or soffit. Wall, pendant, pole and corner mounts are separate; ask us which one suits your site.
What smart alarms does it have?
Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and exit, face detection, unattended baggage, object removal and audio exception, plus motion detection and video tampering.
Does it sort people from vehicles?
No. This model does not have AcuSense human and vehicle classification; the DS-2DE4425IW-DE(T5) does.
Does it track people automatically?
Yes. It supports manual tracking, auto tracking and event tracking, where an alarm starts the tracking.
How many presets does it have?
300 presets, 8 patrols of up to 32 presets each, and 4 pattern scans.
Will it cope with the weather?
It is rated IP66 with 4000 V lightning and surge protection, and runs from −30 °C to 65 °C.
Can it record without a recorder?
It takes a microSD card up to 256 GB and can record to a NAS. Most installs add an NVR for longer storage.
Will it work with a non-Hikvision recorder?
It supports ONVIF, so most ONVIF recorders can record it. PTZ control, tracking and smart events work best with Hikvision NVRs.
Who can install it?
Concealed data cabling needs an ACMA-registered cabler. A 12 VDC supply from a new mains outlet needs a licensed electrician; PoE+ from the switch avoids that.
Supported by InFront Technologies.

Installation and safety
Power. 12 VDC or PoE+, max 18 W. Any new mains outlet must be installed by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000.
Cabling. Concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.
Heights. The dome weighs about 2.45 kg. Fix it to a solid surface and use safe work-at-height practice.
What it does not do. No Wi-Fi. Audio needs external devices on the line in and out.
