Product SKU: DS-2AE4225ITG
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2AE4225ITG is a 2 MP outdoor Turbo HD PTZ camera designed for wide-area surveillance where operators need the flexibility to pan, tilt and zoom into distant subjects. 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 tighter long-range views. Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance, ≥120 dB WDR and up to 100 m IR illumination help maintain useful detail across challenging day and night conditions. The IP66-rated housing, 360° endless pan and extensive preset, patrol and pattern functions make the DS-2AE4225ITG well suited to commercial, industrial, perimeter and large-site monitoring applications.
Key Capabilities
25× Optical Zoom
The 4.8–120 mm motorised lens provides 25× optical zoom, allowing operators to move from wider scene coverage to close-up views of subjects positioned much farther away.
100 m Infrared Illumination
Built-in IR illumination reaches up to 100 metres, supporting long-range night surveillance with 0 lux operation when infrared lighting is active.
≥120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
High-performance WDR helps balance bright and dark areas within the same scene, improving visibility around entrances, backlit areas and other difficult lighting environments.
360° PTZ Coverage
The camera provides 360° endless pan and -15° to 90° tilt with auto flip, allowing operators to reposition the view across a broad surveillance area.
Powered-by-DarkFighter Low-Light Performance
Low-light sensitivity down to 0.005 lux in colour and 0.001 lux in black and white helps the camera retain usable detail before infrared illumination is required.
Multi-Format Analogue HD Output
Switchable TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS output allows the camera to integrate with compatible analogue HD recording systems and simplifies migration across supported video formats.
Best For
- Large Perimeters: 25× optical zoom and 100 m IR support long-range observation across broad outdoor sites.
- Warehouses and Industrial Yards: PTZ control allows operators to investigate activity across multiple areas from a single camera position.
- Car Parks and Entry Roads: Long-range zoom helps operators inspect vehicles, access points and distant activity.
- Existing Turbo HD Systems: Switchable TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS output makes the camera suitable for compatible analogue HD DVR environments.
- Outdoor Sites: IP66 protection and wide operating temperature support exposed surveillance installations.
Why Choose the DS-2AE4225ITG
The DS-2AE4225ITG is a strong fit for sites that need active operator control and long-range detail without moving to an IP PTZ platform. Its 25× optical zoom, 100 m infrared range, ≥120 dB WDR and DarkFighter-assisted low-light performance give it considerably more reach and flexibility than a fixed-lens analogue camera. The camera also supports 256 presets, patrols, patterns, scheduled tasks and power-off memory, helping automate repetitive PTZ coverage. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is particularly useful for upgrading or expanding compatible Turbo HD systems where operators still need responsive pan, tilt and zoom control over large outdoor areas.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This is a Turbo HD analogue PTZ rather than a network IP camera. Confirm that the DVR supports the required TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS video format and PTZ control method before replacing or adding the camera.
Buyer Tip: The camera requires 12 VDC power and can draw up to 20 W. Plan the power cable size and supply capacity for the actual cable run, especially where the PTZ and IR functions will operate over longer distances.

Ideal Use Cases
Industrial Yards
25× optical zoom and 360° pan allow operators to inspect activity across large yards from a single elevated camera position.
Large Car Parks
Long-range zoom and 100 m IR help monitor vehicles, access lanes and distant sections of large parking areas.
Perimeter Surveillance
Preset positions, patrols and patterns allow the camera to cover multiple perimeter zones without requiring separate fixed cameras at every viewpoint.
Commercial Campuses
Suitable for sites 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 capability, long-range zoom and improved night coverage.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 2 MP analogue HD PTZ with 25× optical zoom, up to 100 m IR and outdoor IP66 protection.
- Choose a fixed camera if: The scene does not require operator-controlled pan, tilt or long-range optical zoom and a permanently fixed view is sufficient.
- Choose a network PTZ if: The project specifically requires native IP networking, onboard storage or network-based analytics that are not part of this Turbo HD analogue platform.
- Confirm DVR compatibility if: The existing recorder is older, as video format and PTZ control support should be checked before replacing an existing analogue PTZ.
FAQs
- What resolution does the Hikvision DS-2AE4225ITG provide?
The Hikvision DS-2AE4225ITG 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-2AE4225ITG provide?
The DS-2AE4225ITG includes 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 broader scene coverage to tighter long-distance views.
- How far can the infrared illumination reach?
The DS-2AE4225ITG has built-in infrared illumination rated for distances up to 100 metres. The camera can operate down to 0 lux with IR enabled, supporting night surveillance of larger outdoor areas without relying solely on visible lighting.
- What PTZ movement does the DS-2AE4225ITG support?
The camera provides 360-degree endless pan and a tilt range from -15 degrees to 90 degrees with auto flip. Manual pan and tilt speeds are configurable from 0.1 to 80 degrees per second, with preset movement up to 80 degrees per second. It also supports 256 presets, patrols, patterns and scheduled PTZ actions.
- Can the DS-2AE4225ITG be used outdoors?
Yes. The DS-2AE4225ITG 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, power supply and cabling should still be selected to suit the actual outdoor site conditions.
- What video systems can the DS-2AE4225ITG connect to?
The DS-2AE4225ITG provides switchable TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS video output through BNC, allowing it to work with compatible analogue HD recording systems.
