Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T5) delivers up to 8 MP resolution (3840 × 2160), providing highly detailed video suitable for identification and evidence capture. The large 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS sensor allows it to maintain clarity even in challenging lighting conditions. This resolution is especially useful for large-area monitoring where zooming into distant objects is required. Multiple video streams are supported, allowing you to balance image quality and bandwidth usage depending on your system needs.
This camera is designed for demanding low-light environments, offering 0.002 Lux in color and 0.0002 Lux in black and white when AGC is enabled. In complete darkness, it relies on its built-in IR illuminator to deliver visibility at distances of up to 500 meters. The DarkFighter technology and IR cut filter work together to maintain usable detail at night. This makes it suitable for large perimeters and remote outdoor locations.
The camera features a powerful 42× optical zoom lens with an additional 16× digital zoom. Its focal length ranges from 7.5 mm to 315 mm, allowing operators to move seamlessly from wide-area views to close-up detail. This zoom capability is ideal for tracking objects or people across long distances without repositioning the camera. The proportional pan and zoom design helps maintain smooth control even at high magnification.
Yes, the camera includes advanced deep learning functions such as face capture, face comparison, and perimeter protection. It can detect and capture up to 30 faces simultaneously and select the best face image from moving subjects. The system also supports line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exiting detection based on human and vehicle targets. These analytics help reduce false alarms and improve situational awareness.
The DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T5) supports road traffic and vehicle detection functions. It is capable of recognizing license plate numbers, vehicle models, and vehicle colors when configured for traffic scenarios. This makes it suitable for highways, roads, and transportation hubs. These features are especially useful for large-scale monitoring projects where vehicle data is required.
The camera offers 360° continuous pan and a tilt range of -20° to 90° with auto flip support. It includes up to 300 presets, multiple patrols, pattern scans, and advanced park actions. Smart tracking modes include manual and automatic tracking to follow moving targets. These PTZ capabilities allow operators to actively monitor wide areas with precision.
This model is built for outdoor use with an IP67-rated enclosure for dust and water resistance. It also carries an IK10 vandal resistance rating (excluding the glass window), along with lightning and surge protection up to 6000V. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to 70°C. These specifications make it suitable for harsh and exposed environments.
The camera can be powered by 24 VAC or PoE 802.3bt, providing flexible installation options. Maximum power consumption reaches 62 W with 24 VAC and 51 W with PoE, including IR and heater usage. This allows installers to choose the most suitable power method for their infrastructure. Power-off memory ensures settings are retained during interruptions.
The camera supports local storage via a built-in microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC slot with capacities up to 256 GB. It also integrates with NAS systems using NFS or SMB/CIFS and supports ANR.
