Yes, this camera is designed for 24/7 colorful imaging. It uses a high-sensitivity 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor combined with a maximum F1.2 aperture and built-in white light illumination. According to the datasheet, it can operate in color mode down to 0.0005 lux, and it can also deliver full visibility at 0 lux when the supplemental light is active. This ensures nighttime footage remains clear and usable instead of switching to traditional black-and-white images.

The DS-2DE7A812MCG-EB features a powerful 12× optical zoom with an additional 64× digital zoom. Its focal length ranges from 6.7 mm to 80.4 mm, allowing operators to monitor wide areas and then zoom in for close-up detail without repositioning the camera. This is especially useful in large outdoor environments where both overview and identification-level detail are needed. The proportional zoom ensures smoother control when tracking moving subjects.

This model uses a hybrid supplement lighting system that combines infrared and white light. The datasheet specifies an IR illumination range of up to 150 meters and a white light range of up to 100 meters. This gives installers flexibility depending on whether discreet IR monitoring or visible deterrence lighting is preferred. The long illumination range makes it suitable for large open areas such as roads, parks, and industrial sites.

Yes, the camera includes deep-learning–based smart functions through Hikvision’s AcuSense technology. It supports intelligent events such as line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance and exit detection, unattended baggage detection, and object removal detection. The system focuses on human and vehicle classification, which helps reduce false alarms caused by animals, rain, or moving vegetation. This improves alarm accuracy and overall operational efficiency.

Yes, this camera includes built-in audio and visual deterrence features. It has a white flashing light and a built-in speaker capable of audible warnings with an effective distance of up to 30 meters. These deterrents can be triggered by specific events or alarms defined in the system. This allows the camera not only to record incidents but also to help prevent them in real time.

The camera delivers a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 (8 MP). It supports multiple video compression formats including H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG depending on the stream. According to the datasheet, it supports up to three video streams simultaneously with configurable frame rates based on 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems. This flexibility helps optimize bandwidth usage while maintaining image quality.

Yes, the DS-2DE7A812MCG-EB includes a deep learning face capture function. It can detect and capture up to five faces at the same time and supports grading and selecting the best face image during motion. This feature is useful in environments where identifying individuals is important, such as public venues or transportation hubs. The functionality is clearly specified as part of the camera’s intelligent analytics in the datasheet.

The camera supports both 24 VAC power input and Hi-PoE. The datasheet lists a maximum power consumption of 42 W, which includes up to 12 W for infrared illumination and up to 2 W for the heater. Hi-PoE support simplifies installation by allowing power and data to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable when compatible infrastructure is available. This flexibility helps accommodate different installation environments.

Yes, this speed dome is built for demanding outdoor conditions. It is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance and IK10 for vandal resistance. The datasheet also specifies lightning protection up to 6000 V, along with surge and voltage transient protection. It operates in temperatures ranging from -30 °C to 65 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.

According to the datasheet, this camera is designed for large-area outdoor monitoring. Common applications include rivers, roads, railways, airports, squares, parks, scenic spots, and large venues. Its long-range zoom, powerful illumination, and intelligent tracking capabilities make it well-suited for wide-open spaces. These features help operators maintain situational awareness while still capturing fine detail when needed.
