DS-2DE2C400SCG-E 4 MP ColorVu PTZ Camera
When you’re responsible for securing a wide area — like a parking lot, entranceway, or property perimeter — and you want a camera that *actively follows motion* while still providing ultra-clear, trustworthy video, the DS-2DE2C400SCG-E was built for that need. This intelligent PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera combines high-resolution 4MP imaging with Hikvision’s ColorVu low-light technology so you don’t lose color detail even when light levels drop. It smoothly pans and tilts to follow activity, captures audio, and adapts to changing environments.
Imagine never having to wonder what’s happening on the edge of your property again — instead of guessing from grainy pictures, you get confident video and bright color even after sunset. That’s peace of mind you can rely on.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
With a sharp 2560 × 1440 resolution, you catch faces, license plates, and action clearly — not just blurry blobs. That clarity helps you make confident decisions, review footage faster, and avoid re-watching low-quality videos.
The advanced ColorVu sensor and large F1.0 aperture pull in more light, meaning you still see people and objects in color after dark. You won’t have to strain to identify subjects or switch to grayscale infrared — it captures usable color footage when others can’t.
With a 0°–340° pan and -5°–105° tilt range, this PTZ camera literally turns to where the action is. You don’t have to install multiple fixed cameras to track activity — one unit can monitor more area with fluid motion.
The integrated microphone and speaker let you listen and even speak through the camera — ideal for deterrence or two-way communication. It enhances your situational awareness and gives you another layer of control.
The camera’s smart supplemental light adjusts based on conditions, ensuring visibility up to 30 meters. Combined with motion detection and alarm linkage, you won’t miss critical events even at night.
Rain, dust, or heat won’t stop this camera — its rugged build keeps it working outdoors year-round. That means less maintenance and more consistent security for your investment.
What This Helps You Avoid
Too many security systems leave you guessing because the footage is too dark or blurry to use — especially at night. That’s frustrating when you *need answers*, and it can cost time and money chasing clues. With the DS-2DE2C400SCG-E, you avoid missing critical details because the camera intelligently adjusts to lighting and movement. Instead of watching grainy video and wondering what happened, you get usable, confident images and audio — so you can act with assurance, not uncertainty.
You also avoid the cost and complexity of installing multiple cameras to cover wide areas — its PTZ capabilities mean one camera can efficiently monitor more space. And by capturing both audio and video, you sidestep gaps in your security evidence that could otherwise leave you unprotected.
