The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E delivers a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440 (4 MP) on both the bullet channel and the PTZ channel. This resolution allows the camera to capture fine details across wide areas while still maintaining clarity when zooming in. The 4 MP resolution is designed for professional surveillance environments where image quality is critical for monitoring and evidence review. According to the datasheet, this resolution supports multiple frame rates depending on the video standard (50 Hz or 60 Hz).

This model features a 25× optical zoom on the PTZ channel, combined with an additional 16× digital zoom. The optical zoom range is supported by a 4.8 mm to 120 mm focal length lens, allowing operators to move from wide-area views to close-up details smoothly. Optical zoom preserves image quality while zooming, which is especially important for long-distance monitoring. The datasheet specifies a zoom speed of approximately 3.6 seconds for rapid repositioning.

The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E is designed for strong low-light performance using DarkFighter and ColorVu technologies. The PTZ channel can operate at illumination levels as low as 0.005 lux in color mode and 0.001 lux in black-and-white mode, with 0 lux supported when infrared lighting is active. The camera includes infrared illumination up to 100 meters and white light illumination up to 30 meters. These features allow it to maintain visibility and detail even in near-total darkness.

This speed dome camera supports a full 360° continuous pan and a tilt range from -15° to 90° with automatic flip. The pan and tilt speeds are configurable from 0.1° per second up to 80° per second, with preset speeds reaching 80° per second. This wide movement range allows the camera to cover large areas efficiently. According to the datasheet, the camera also supports proportional zoom, ensuring smooth motion during zoom operations.

Yes, the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E supports smart features including motion detection, line crossing detection, intrusion detection, and region entrance and exit detection. The camera also includes deep learning-based classification for human and vehicle targets on the PTZ channel. These analytics help reduce false alarms by focusing on relevant objects. The datasheet notes support for smart recording functions such as ANR and Dual-VCA.

The camera supports multiple video compression standards, including H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. It also supports advanced compression options such as H.265+ and H.264+ to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. These compression technologies help maintain video quality while optimizing network usage. According to the datasheet, the video bit rate is configurable from 32 kbps up to 16,384 kbps.

The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E can be powered using either 12 VDC or PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus). This dual power option provides flexibility during installation, especially in locations where traditional power sources are limited. The maximum power consumption is 24 W, which includes power for the heater and supplemental lighting. These specifications are detailed in the datasheet under the general and power sections.

Yes, the camera includes a built-in memory card slot that supports Micro SD, Micro SDHC, and Micro SDXC cards up to 256 GB. This allows for local video storage directly on the camera without requiring a separate recorder. Onboard storage can be useful for redundancy or edge recording scenarios. The datasheet confirms compatibility with multiple storage formats for flexibility.

The camera is designed for outdoor use and can operate in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F). It is rated IP66 for protection against dust and strong water jets. The datasheet also lists 6000 V lightning protection, surge protection, and voltage transient protection. These features make it suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

The camera weighs approximately 2.4 kg (13.2 lb.) according to the datasheet. Its physical dimensions are Ø 166 mm × 375 mm (Ø 6.5″ × 14.7″). These measurements are important when planning mounting and structural support. The datasheet also provides detailed dimension diagrams to assist with installation planning.
