Description
Specification

The Hikvision DS-2DF8442IXG1-EL (W)(Y) from the DF8 Series sets a new standard in PTZ camera performance, delivering exceptional imaging quality and robust operation in the toughest conditions:

Imaging & Optics: Equipped with a 1/1.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor delivering 4 MP resolution, this camera offers crisp, detailed video. DarkFighter 2.0 technology ensures excellent performance in challenging lighting, while the 150 dB AWDR handles extreme backlight scenarios beautifully. The 42× optical zoom with an additional 16× digital zoom enables sharp focus on distant subjects.
Illumination & Night Vision: Smart IR illuminator extends night vision up to 400 m, maintaining clarity across vast, low-light scenes.
Pan, Tilt & Zoom Mechanics: The camera features 360° endless pan and tilt from –20° to 90° with auto-flip. It includes user-configurable pan/tilt speeds, rapid presets (up to 280°/s pan, 250°/s tilt), 300 programmable presets, 8 patrols, 4 pattern scans (each over 10 min), and powerful scanning modes (panorama, random, etc.) with power-off memory.
Durability & Environmental Resilience: Built to withstand harsh environments, the camera is rated IP67 (dust/water resistant) and IK10 (vandal-proof), excluding the glass window. With the wiper (“W”) feature, it ensures clear visibility on the dome even in heavy rain. The “Y” upgrade further enhances performance and adaptability.
Deep Learning & Analytics: Advanced onboard analytics support functions like face capture, road traffic detection, intrusion and line-crossing detection, making it well-suited for applications in high-security and smart surveillance environments.
Networking & Integration: Offers enterprise-level network security (HTTPS, 802.1x, TLS 1.3, watermarking, IP filtering, TPM2.0), supports numerous protocols (IPv4/6, ONVIF, SNMP, QoS, etc.), remote access via Hik-Connect, iVMS-4200, HikCentral, and storage through NAS, ANR, microSD (up to 1 TB), with extensive event linkage and access control.
Other Technical Specs:
- Minimum Illumination: Color at 0.0003 Lux (F1.2, AGC on), B/W at 0.0001 Lux, and 0 Lux with IR active.
- Zoom & Focus: Focal length range of 6–250 mm; fast optical zoom in approx. 4.5 seconds from wide to tele. Field of view ranges from 56.6°–1.7° (horizontal), 33.7°–0.9° (vertical).
- Shutter Speed: 1/1–1/30,000 s, with slow shutter support.
- Additional enhancements include optical defog, various image adjustments (focus, exposure, defogging), privacy masking, and image stabilization via built-in gyroscope.
