Product SKU: DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W
Product Overview
The DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W is a compact 4 MP outdoor mini-PTZ camera from Hikvision designed to deliver broad coverage and detailed zoom capability in one unit. With a 1/2.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor delivering 2560 × 1440 resolution, 4× optical zoom (2.8–12 mm lens), built-in IR illumination up to ~50 m and white-light up to ~6 m, this model suits both wide-area situational awareness and focused inspection. Pan and tilt motion range (0°–350° pan, 0°–90° tilt) combined with smart analytics, Wi-Fi connectivity and weather-rated housing makes the DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W a flexible choice for commercial, industrial or demanding residential surveillance.
Why Choose the DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W
Choose the DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W when you need more than a fixed-lens camera but without the size or expense of a full-size PTZ dome. Its 4× optical zoom enables you to transition from wide coverage to a zoomed-in view with no loss of image quality. The high-resolution 4 MP sensor ensures fine detail capture, while its advanced image enhancement (including 120 dB WDR) supports clarity even in complex lighting. With built-in IR to 50 m, white light assist, PoE or Wi-Fi connectivity, and robust outdoor ratings (IP66 and surge/lightning protection), this camera stands out for installations requiring versatility, strong performance and future-proof features in one compact form.
Key Capabilities
4 MP High-Resolution Imaging
The sensor delivers 2560 × 1440 video at up to 30 fps, ensuring clear and detailed imagery for identification and monitoring tasks. This higher resolution provides more usable detail than typical 1080p cameras.
4× Optical Zoom with 2.8-12 mm Lens
The motorised lens moves smoothly from a wide field of view to telephoto, enabling both broad coverage and precise zoomed-in monitoring.
Up to 50 m IR + White Light Assist
With IR illumination up to 50 metres and a built-in white light up to ~6 metres, the camera continues to record usable footage in total darkness and also offers visual deterrence via white-light flash.
120 dB True WDR & Smart Image Processing
The wide dynamic range technology plus image enhancement features ensure clarity in scenes with heavy backlight, reflections or mixed lighting conditions.
Flexible PTZ Motion & Smart Tracking
With 0°–350° pan, 0°–90° tilt, up to 300 presets, 8 patrols and integrated smart detection for human/vehicle targets, the DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/W is ideal for dynamic coverage and automated patrols.
Outdoor-Rated with Wi-Fi & PoE Options
Supports 12 V DC or PoE power and has Wi-Fi connectivity options for installations where data cabling may be limited. The enclosure meets IP66 ingress protection and includes surge/lightning protection for outdoor deployment.
Key Features
-
4 MP (2560 × 1440) resolution: Delivers high‐definition video that ensures sharper detail, making it easier to identify people, vehicles or objects compared to standard 1080p.
-
4× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom: Enables switching from wide‐angle to closer views without losing optical clarity, ideal for monitoring broad scenes and then zooming into specific areas as events occur.
-
2.8–12 mm motorised lens: The motorised varifocal lens enables remote adjustment of field‐of‐view and focus, reducing the need for on-site manual lens changes and providing installation flexibility.
-
Up to 50 m IR + 6 m white light: Ensures effective surveillance in darkness, with white light providing visual deterrence and IR for covert monitoring.
-
120 dB WDR + image enhancement: Improves visibility in challenging lighting (e.g., backlit entrances, reflective surfaces) by balancing exposure and reducing noise for clearer footage.
-
Pan 0°–350°, Tilt 0°–90° with 300 presets: Offers full coverage of nearly the entire horizontal range plus the vertical half-sphere, enabling the camera to scan large zones and revisit saved viewpoints quickly.
-
Smart detection for human/vehicle targets: Built-in analytics enable the camera to classify and respond to human or vehicle events, reducing false alarms and improving situational awareness.
-
IP66 enclosure + surge protection: The weatherproof housing with lightning/surge protection makes it suitable for exposed outdoor sites where long-term reliability and durability are critical.

Ideal Use Cases
- Car parks – Monitor vehicle movement across large open areas, zoom in on suspicious activity or number plates while retaining wide-angle awareness.
- Building mall entrances & retail exteriors – Track foot traffic, zoom into specific doorways or windows and respond quickly to events using preset patrols.
- School or campus courtyards – The pan/tilt capability allows coverage of large outdoor spaces, while the zoom capability provides focus on identified activity zones such as walkways and stairwells.
- Light-industrial sites & warehouses – Weatherproof and rugged, this camera handles outdoor exposures and offers flexible surveillance across gate entrances, loading bays and exterior perimeters.
- Residential mansions or gated properties – High-end home installations benefit from the advanced features (zoom, IR, PTZ) paired with discreet mini-PTZ form factor and Wi-Fi option for flexible install.
Choosing Between the 2.8 mm and 12 mm Zoom Positions
This camera utilises a motorised varifocal lens, covering 2.8 mm at the wide end and 12 mm at the tele-end. At 2.8 mm the field-of-view is approximately 96.7° horizontally—ideal for broad situational coverage of open spaces or entrances. At 12 mm, the horizontal field narrows to about 31.6°, making it ideal for distant object tracking, entry-gates or head-on vehicle monitoring. Choose a position accordingly: wide for high-traffic zones, telephoto for detailed inspection zones or critical access points.
