Product SKU: DS-2AE5225ITG
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2AE5225ITG is a 2 MP outdoor Turbo HD PTZ camera designed for wide-area surveillance where operators need fast pan, tilt and long-range optical zoom control. Its 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor delivers up to 1920 × 1080 resolution, while the 4.8–120 mm motorised lens provides 25× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom for moving between broad scene coverage and detailed distant views. DarkFighter low-light performance, ≥120 dB WDR and up to 150 m infrared illumination help maintain useful imagery across challenging day and night conditions. The IP66-rated housing, 360° endless pan and extensive preset, patrol and pattern functions make the DS-2AE5225ITG well suited to large commercial, industrial, perimeter and infrastructure surveillance applications.
Key Capabilities
25× Optical Zoom
The 4.8–120 mm motorised lens provides 25× optical zoom, allowing operators to move from wide scene coverage to close-up views of distant subjects without physically repositioning the camera.
150 m Infrared Illumination
Built-in infrared illumination reaches up to 150 metres, giving the camera significantly extended night coverage across large outdoor areas and long perimeter lines.
≥120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
High-performance WDR helps balance bright and dark areas within the same frame, improving visibility around entrances, backlit roads and other scenes with strong contrast.
360° PTZ Coverage
The camera provides 360° endless pan and -15° to 90° tilt with auto flip, allowing operators to follow movement and inspect multiple zones from one elevated position.
DarkFighter Low-Light Performance
Low-light sensitivity down to 0.005 lux in colour and 0.001 lux in black and white helps preserve usable detail before infrared illumination becomes necessary.
Multi-Format Turbo HD Output
Switchable TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS output allows the camera to integrate with compatible analogue HD recording systems and supported legacy video environments.
Best For
- Large Perimeters: 25× optical zoom and up to 150 m IR support observation across long fence lines, yards and property boundaries.
- Warehouses and Industrial Sites: PTZ movement allows operators to investigate activity across multiple zones from a single camera location.
- Car Parks and Access Roads: Long-range zoom helps inspect vehicles, access points and distant activity across large sites.
- Existing Turbo HD Systems: Switchable TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS output makes the camera suitable for compatible analogue HD DVR installations.
- Outdoor Surveillance: IP66 weather protection and wide operating temperature support exposed installations.
Why Choose the DS-2AE5225ITG
The DS-2AE5225ITG is a strong choice when a Turbo HD system needs greater night range and faster PTZ movement than smaller analogue speed domes can provide. Its 25× optical zoom, 150 m IR illumination, ≥120 dB WDR and DarkFighter low-light performance give operators the ability to inspect distant areas across large outdoor sites, while 256 presets, patrols, patterns and scheduled tasks support automated coverage. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2AE5225ITG is particularly useful for commercial and industrial surveillance where long-range analogue HD monitoring remains preferable to migrating the entire system to IP.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This is a Turbo HD analogue PTZ rather than an IP camera. Confirm that the DVR supports the required TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS format and PTZ control protocol before replacing an existing camera or expanding the system.
Buyer Tip: The DS-2AE5225ITG requires 36 VDC power and can draw up to 30 W, with approximately 10 W allocated to IR operation. Plan the power supply and cable run accordingly, especially on longer outdoor installations.

Commercial Campuses
Suitable where security operators need to move rapidly between entrances, open areas and distant points of interest.
Turbo HD System Upgrades
A practical option where an existing compatible analogue HD system needs PTZ coverage, longer infrared range and improved low-light performance.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 2 MP analogue HD PTZ with 25× optical zoom, up to 150 m IR and IP66 outdoor protection.
- Consider the DS-2AE4225ITG if: A smaller PTZ with up to 100 m IR is sufficient and the extra infrared reach and larger housing of the DS-2AE5225ITG are unnecessary.
- Choose a fixed camera if: The site does not require operator-controlled pan, tilt or long-range optical zoom and a permanent field of view is sufficient.
- Choose a network PTZ if: The project specifically requires native IP connectivity, onboard storage or network-based features beyond this Turbo HD analogue platform.
FAQs
- What resolution does the Hikvision DS-2AE5225ITG provide?
The Hikvision DS-2AE5225ITG records at up to 1920 × 1080 resolution using a 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor. It supports 25 fps at 1080p in 50 Hz systems and 30 fps at 1080p in 60 Hz systems, making it suitable for live PTZ surveillance where Full HD detail is required.
- How much zoom does the DS-2AE5225ITG provide?
The DS-2AE5225ITG uses a 4.8 mm to 120 mm motorised lens with 25× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom. Its horizontal field of view changes from approximately 57.6 degrees at the wide end to 2.5 degrees at the telephoto end, allowing operators to move from broad scene coverage to tight long-distance views.
- How far can the infrared illumination reach?
The DS-2AE5225ITG has built-in infrared illumination rated for distances up to 150 metres. The camera can operate at 0 lux with IR enabled, supporting night surveillance across large outdoor areas without relying solely on visible lighting.
- What PTZ movement does the DS-2AE5225ITG support?
The camera provides 360-degree endless pan and a tilt range from -15 degrees to 90 degrees with auto flip. Manual pan speed is configurable from 0.1 to 120 degrees per second, while tilt is configurable from 0.1 to 80 degrees per second. It also supports 256 presets, patrols, patterns and scheduled PTZ actions.
- Can the DS-2AE5225ITG be used outdoors?
Yes. The DS-2AE5225ITG is an outdoor PTZ camera with an IP66 protection rating. Hikvision also specifies TVS 4,000 V lightning protection together with surge and voltage-transient protection. For Security Wholesalers installations, the mounting method, 36 VDC power supply and cabling should still be selected to suit the actual outdoor site conditions.
- What video systems can the DS-2AE5225ITG connect to?
The DS-2AE5225ITG provides switchable TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS video output through BNC, allowing it to work with compatible analogue HD recording systems.
