Key Capabilities
25x Optical Zoom for Remote Detail Capture
The 4.8-120mm motorised varifocal lens shifts from a wide 55-degree field of view for situational awareness down to approximately 2.4 degrees at full tele, enabling fine identification of distant targets across large open sites or perimeter fence lines without repositioning the camera.
Solar Power Plus Battery Kit Included
The kit ships with a solar panel and battery set, providing fully autonomous power operation. Combined with an ultra-low sleep mode drawing approximately 0.3W, the camera is designed to sustain operation across multiple days of reduced sunlight exposure at remote deployments.
4G Connectivity Without Fixed Network Cabling
Built-in 4G mobile connectivity (LTE, WCDMA, GSM) handles all video transmission and remote access, eliminating any need for Ethernet cabling at the installation site. This makes the camera deployable at locations where trenching or wireless bridging is impractical.
360-Degree Pan and Full Tilt Range
Continuous 360-degree endless pan combined with a tilt range of -15 degrees to 90 degrees gives this camera full spherical coverage. With up to 300 configurable presets, patrol tours and auto-scan, it can cover an entire site perimeter without blind spots.
Up to 150m IR Night Vision
Integrated infrared LEDs provide effective illumination at distances up to approximately 150 metres, enabling clear monitoring across large outdoor spaces after dark without requiring supplementary lighting infrastructure at the remote site.
256GB eMMC On-Board Storage
Built-in eMMC storage up to 256GB provides local footage retention independent of any network recorder or cloud service. This is particularly valuable at remote sites where 4G bandwidth may be metered or intermittent, ensuring footage is preserved locally regardless of connectivity status.
Best For
- Remote Rural Sites: Solar and 4G operation removes all dependency on grid power or fixed network cabling, making this kit suitable for farms, grazing properties and rural assets well beyond utility reach.
- Temporary Construction and Mining Sites: The kit deploys quickly without civil works, and the 25x zoom allows monitoring of large site extents from a single camera position.
- Perimeter and Fence-Line Coverage: Continuous pan, 150m IR reach and high zoom combine to cover long perimeter runs from a single elevated mounting point.
- Off-Grid Critical Infrastructure: IP66 rating, surge and lightning protection, and a wide operating temperature range of -30 degrees C to +65 degrees C suit exposed installations at utility or communications sites.
- Temporary Events or Mobile Deployments: The standalone power and connectivity design allows the kit to be relocated between sites without rewiring, supporting mobile or rotating surveillance requirements.
Why Choose the DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G
Where a standard IP PTZ camera would require Ethernet cabling, PoE switching and a mains power source, the DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G bundles solar generation, battery storage and 4G connectivity into a single deployable kit. The 25x optical zoom extends coverage across distances that a fixed-lens or short-zoom camera cannot match, while 256GB of on-board eMMC storage retains footage even when 4G bandwidth is limited or interrupted. The IP66 casing and built-in surge and lightning protection are genuinely suited to exposed outdoor installations rather than simply weather-resistant. For integrators or end users assessing remote-site PTZ options, this kit is available through Security Wholesalers and represents a purpose-built combination of optics, autonomous power and mobile connectivity in a single matched package rather than a collection of separately sourced components.

Buyer Decision Tips
Assess 4G Signal Before Committing to a Location: The DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G relies entirely on 4G mobile coverage for remote viewing and video transmission. Before mounting, confirm usable LTE signal strength at the proposed installation point using a mobile device. Sites in deep valleys, dense vegetation or far from cell towers may require an external antenna or a different connectivity approach entirely.
Solar Panel Orientation and Seasonal Sun Angle Matter: Battery autonomy depends on the panel receiving adequate direct sunlight. In southern Australian states particularly, account for lower winter sun angles when selecting the panel mounting position and angle. Sites with significant shading from buildings, vegetation or terrain features may need the panel positioned on a separate post rather than mounted directly to the camera pole.

Ideal Use Cases
Remote Farms and Rural Properties
Solar and 4G operation means no grid power or Ethernet is required. The 25x zoom and 150m IR range allow a single camera to monitor large paddocks, access tracks and machinery storage areas from a single elevated point.
Construction and Mining Sites
Temporary sites need fast deployment without civil infrastructure. The included solar and battery kit enables immediate setup, while 256GB of on-board eMMC retains footage locally even when 4G bandwidth at the site is metered or variable.
Long Perimeter and Fence-Line Monitoring
The 360-degree endless pan and long IR reach let this camera sweep extended fence lines from a single mounting position. PTZ presets and patrol tours automate coverage of multiple perimeter zones without manual operator control.
Utility and Critical Infrastructure Sites
Built-in surge and lightning protection, IP66 ingress rating and operation down to -30 degrees C make this kit suitable for water infrastructure, communications towers and power easements located in exposed or high-risk outdoor environments.
Temporary Events and Mobile Deployments
Because the entire system is self-powered and self-connected via 4G, the kit can be relocated between sites as requirements change. This suits event security, travelling exhibitions or rotating monitoring programs across multiple locations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site has no mains power connection and no fixed network infrastructure, and you need PTZ coverage with long-range zoom and IR across a large outdoor area. The solar and battery kit plus 4G connectivity make this a standalone solution that requires no external cabling of any kind.
- Choose a different model if: Your site already has reliable mains power and a wired network, in which case a standard PoE PTZ camera will provide more consistent performance without the need to manage solar charging and battery capacity. A fixed PoE PTZ will also typically offer a lower upfront cost where infrastructure already exists.
- Choose a different model if: Your site has poor or no 4G mobile coverage. Without usable 4G signal, remote viewing and video transmission will not function, and this kit would be limited to local eMMC playback only.
FAQs
- Does the DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G kit include the solar panel and battery, or are those purchased separately?
Both the solar panel and the battery kit set are included in this package. You do not need to source them separately. The kit is designed to arrive as a matched set so the solar panel, battery and camera are compatible with one another from the outset. - How much local storage does this camera have, and does it need an NVR?
The camera includes built-in eMMC storage up to 256GB and also supports microSD cards. This means it can retain footage independently of any NVR or cloud service. At remote sites where 4G data is metered or intermittent, the local eMMC provides a reliable fallback for continuous recording without depending on network availability. - What 4G bands and network types does this kit support?
The DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G supports LTE, WCDMA and GSM mobile networks. You will need to insert a SIM card from a compatible Australian carrier. Before deployment, confirm that LTE coverage is available at the intended installation point, as remote sites may sit on the edge of or outside carrier coverage zones. - How far can this camera see at night using infrared?
The integrated IR LEDs provide illumination to a range of approximately 150 metres. This is sufficient for monitoring large open areas, gate approaches and extended perimeter sections in complete darkness. The IR distance applies to the PTZ unit itself and does not require any supplementary lighting at the site. - Can this camera continue operating during overcast weather or at night when the solar panel is not generating power?
Yes. The included battery kit stores charge from the solar panel and supplies power to the camera when the panel is not generating, such as overnight or during overcast conditions. The camera also features a low-power sleep mode drawing approximately 0.3W, which significantly extends battery run time between solar charging periods. - Is this camera suitable for harsh outdoor conditions including lightning-prone areas?
The DS-2DE5425IWG-K/4G carries an IP66 rating for dust and water ingress resistance and includes built-in surge and lightning protection. Its operating temperature range extends from -30 degrees C to +65 degrees C, covering the temperature extremes common to exposed Australian rural and industrial environments. Security Wholesalers supplies this kit as a complete matched package for exactly these demanding outdoor scenarios. - What is the full zoom range, and how does the field of view change across that range?
The motorised varifocal lens spans 4.8mm to 120mm, delivering 25x optical zoom supplemented by 16x digital zoom. At the wide end (4.8mm), the horizontal field of view is approximately 55 degrees, suitable for broad area coverage. At full tele (120mm), this narrows to approximately 2.4 degrees, enabling fine detail inspection of distant subjects such as vehicle number plates or gate activity at long range.
