Dahua 4MP X-Spans DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280 Panoramic PTZ Camera with 32x Zoom, 180° View & 200m IR

Product SKU: DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280

Product Overview

The Dahua DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280 is a dual-channel X-Spans panoramic PTZ camera designed to maintain wide-area awareness while simultaneously capturing detailed long-range activity. Its 4MP panoramic channel produces a stitched 3840 × 1080 overview with an approximately 180° horizontal field of view, while the separate 4MP detail channel uses a 4.8–154mm lens with 32× optical zoom. This combination allows the PTZ to track or inspect a target without removing the permanent panoramic view from the monitoring system. The detail channel provides infrared illumination up to 200 metres, while the overview channel uses white light up to 30 metres. Auto tracking, human and vehicle perimeter classification, face detection and configurable sound-and-light warnings suit warehouses, transport yards, commercial perimeters and large car parks. The camera includes a 36V power adapter, wall bracket and mount adapter but requires compatible recording, networking and installation infrastructure.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Warehouses and Logistics Yards: Maintains a permanent panoramic overview while zooming towards loading bays, vehicles or perimeter activity.
• Large Car Parks: Covers broad parking areas and allows operators to examine distant vehicles, pedestrian movement and entry lanes.
• Commercial Perimeters: Supports intelligent intrusion rules, automatic tracking and visible or audible warning responses around site boundaries.
• Industrial Facilities: Provides wide situational awareness and detailed PTZ investigation across compounds, plant areas and controlled entrances.
• Transport and Infrastructure Sites: Suits large monitored areas where security staff need both continuous overview footage and responsive long-range detail.

Why Choose the DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280

The DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280 addresses one of the main limitations of a conventional PTZ camera: losing visibility of the original scene whenever the lens turns or zooms. Its independent panoramic channel continues recording the approximately 180° overview while the 32× detail channel tracks or inspects activity. This makes the camera particularly useful at large sites where operators need both evidence continuity and long-range control from one mounting point. Auto tracking, human and vehicle perimeter classification, face detection and 110dB sound warnings provide stronger event handling than a basic dual-sensor camera. Supplied by Security Wholesalers, the model should be planned with the required NVR channels, mounting height, bandwidth, fixed evidence cameras and 36V power route before installation.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: The site needs a constant 180° overview and an independent 32× PTZ channel from one mounting point.
• Choose a conventional PTZ if: A permanent panoramic recording is unnecessary and the lower cost or bandwidth is more important.
• Add fixed cameras if: Critical entrances, tills, loading points or evidence zones must remain recorded independently at all times.
• Confirm the NVR first if: Both camera views, intelligent events, audio, tracking and alarm functions must integrate fully.
• Confirm availability if: The model is being specified for a new project because it is currently listed as end of life.

FAQs

1. How does the panoramic and PTZ design work on the DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280?
   The camera combines two separate views in one housing. Its panoramic channel records a stitched 3840 × 1080 overview with an approximately 180° horizontal field of view, while the detail channel is a movable 4MP PTZ camera with 32× optical zoom. This allows operators to keep the broad scene visible while the PTZ follows or examines activity in a selected area.
2. What resolution does each camera channel provide?
   The panoramic channel provides a maximum resolution of 3840 × 1080, while the detail PTZ channel records up to 2560 × 1440. Both channels support up to 25fps in 50Hz systems or 30fps in 60Hz systems. Because the channels have different aspect ratios and purposes, the panoramic view is best for situational awareness and the detail channel is better for targeted inspection.
3. How far can the DH-SDT6C432-4P-GB-APV-0280 see at night?
   The detail PTZ channel has four infrared illuminators with a listed range of up to 200 metres and can operate at 0 lux when infrared is active. The panoramic channel uses four white-light illuminators with a listed range of up to 30 metres. Actual useful distance depends on zoom position, target size, reflectivity, weather, mounting height and surrounding lighting.
4. What do auto tracking and perimeter protection do?
   Auto tracking allows the detail PTZ channel to follow a triggered target by controlling pan, tilt and zoom. Perimeter functions include tripwire, intrusion, fence crossing, loitering, fast movement, parking, abandoned or missing objects and people gathering, with human and vehicle classification on supported rules. Reliable performance depends on correct rule placement, scene visibility, target size and commissioning.
5. Does this panoramic PTZ camera provide active deterrence?
   Yes. The camera supports flashing white-light warnings and sound alarms that can be linked to supported events. Flash duration can be set from 5 to 30 seconds, with high, medium or low flash frequency. The sound warning reaches a listed 110dB, includes 11 alarm messages and supports custom audio imports. Event rules and warning behaviour must be configured during commissioning.
6. Does the camera include two-way audio?
   The official specifications list one line-level audio input and one line-level audio output through bare-wire connections. They do not confirm a built-in microphone for conversational audio. The active-deterrence system can play its configured sound warnings, but external compatible audio equipment is required when live audio input or two-way communication is needed, together with suitable recorder or management-platform configuration.
7. What power, storage and mounting equipment are included?
   The camera uses a 36V DC, 2.23A power supply and supports a microSD card up to 512GB, as well as FTP and NAS storage. The official accessory layout lists the 36V power adapter, PFA114 mount adapter and PFB303W wall-mount bracket as included. Storage media is not stated as included. Confirm the required pole, corner, ceiling or parapet accessories separately.
8. How do I confirm that this camera suits my project?
   Choose this model when the site needs a permanent 180° overview, a separate 32× PTZ detail channel, automatic tracking, 200m infrared and visible or audible deterrence from one mounting point. Confirm identification distances, mounting height, power routing, NVR compatibility and fixed-camera coverage before ordering. Security Wholesalers can review the site layout and recorder model to check the proposed system design.
