Key Capabilities
25x Optical Zoom
The 4.8-120 mm motorised lens shifts between a 55° wide field of view and a 2.4° telephoto angle, allowing operators to monitor an entire yard then zoom into fine detail across a large site without repositioning the camera.
Built-in 4G Connectivity
A built-in 4G module accepts a mobile SIM card to provide network access at locations with no fixed internet. This makes the DS-2DE5425IWG-4G deployable at remote farms, construction zones, and temporary monitoring positions without running ethernet cable.
Up to 150 m IR Night Vision
High-output infrared LEDs illuminate subjects up to approximately 150 metres, maintaining usable 4 MP video in complete darkness across wide open outdoor areas such as paddocks, staging yards, and unmanned perimeters.
Full PTZ Range with 300 Presets
360° endless pan and -15° to 90° tilt cover every angle without mechanical stops. Support for 300 presets and 3D positioning lets installers configure automated patrol routes and rapid point-to-point positioning across large monitored areas.
On-Board Storage up to 256 GB
A built-in eMMC paired with a microSD slot supporting up to 256 GB enables local recording at the camera. This is particularly valuable on 4G-connected sites where continuous cloud or NVR streaming would consume mobile data allowances.
Rugged All-Weather Housing
IP66 weather sealing, integrated surge and lightning protection, a built-in heater, and an operating range of -30°C to 65°C prepare the unit for exposed coastal, desert, alpine, and industrial outdoor environments without additional enclosures.
Best For
- Off-grid remote sites: The combination of 4G connectivity and compatibility with solar power supply makes this camera viable at locations with no mains power or fixed network, such as rural properties, pumping stations, and unmanned facilities.
- Large open-area monitoring: The 25x optical zoom and 360° PTZ range allow a single camera to survey broad spaces and then zoom into specific points of interest, reducing the total number of cameras needed on expansive properties.
- Construction and mining sites: Temporary or semi-permanent deployments benefit from the 4G SIM option, on-board storage, and robust IP66 housing that can withstand dust, vibration, and temperature extremes common on active worksites.
- Critical infrastructure and utilities: The integrated surge and lightning protection, built-in heater, and wide temperature tolerance make the unit well suited to substation perimeters, pipeline corridors, and similar exposed assets.
- Event and temporary security deployments: On-board microSD recording combined with 4G connectivity allows a self-contained setup that can be moved between venues or sites without requiring new network infrastructure at each location.
Why Choose the DS-2DE5425IWG-4G
The DS-2DE5425IWG-4G addresses a specific gap in outdoor PTZ coverage: sites that need long-range zoom and full pan-tilt control but cannot accommodate fixed power or ethernet runs. The 25x optical zoom and 150 m IR range handle identification tasks that fixed cameras simply cannot match at distance. A built-in 4G module removes the dependency on local network infrastructure entirely, while on-board eMMC and microSD storage up to 256 GB means footage is captured locally even when connectivity is intermittent. The IP66 housing with integrated heater, surge protection, and a -30°C to 65°C operating range eliminates the need for external enclosures in harsh environments. A lower-power operating mode further extends solar viability by reducing draw when full performance is not needed. Available through Security Wholesalers, this model is suited to buyers who require a single, self-contained PTZ unit capable of operating independently at remote or infrastructure-limited locations.
