Product SKU: DS-2SE4C425MWG-E-14
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 is a 4MP + 4MP TandemVu outdoor network speed dome that combines a fixed ColorVu overview channel with a separate 25× optical zoom PTZ channel. The fixed 2.8 mm channel maintains broad situational awareness, while the PTZ channel uses a motorised 5–125 mm lens to investigate distant people, vehicles and areas of interest without losing the wider scene. Deep-learning AcuSense human and vehicle classification helps reduce irrelevant alarms, while the fixed channel provides white light up to 30 metres and the PTZ channel delivers IR illumination up to 100 metres. Two built-in microphones, a built-in speaker, strobe light and audio alarm add two-way communication and active deterrence. IP67 protection, PoE+ support and smart linkage between the two channels make it well suited to commercial perimeters, car parks, yards and large outdoor areas.
Key Capabilities
TandemVu 4MP + 4MP Dual-Channel Design
A fixed 4MP overview channel and a separate 4MP PTZ channel operate within the same camera. This gives operators a persistent wide scene while the PTZ channel pans, tilts and zooms into a target for closer inspection.
25× Optical Zoom PTZ
The PTZ channel uses a motorised 5–125 mm lens with 25× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom. Its horizontal viewing angle narrows from approximately 55° to 2.4°, allowing distant areas to be examined without physically repositioning the camera.
ColorVu Overview & DarkFighter PTZ
The fixed overview channel uses a bright F1.0 lens and ColorVu technology for low-light colour imaging, while the PTZ channel uses DarkFighter technology with an IR-cut filter to provide strong low-light performance across the zoom range.
100 m IR & 30 m White Light
The zoomable PTZ channel provides infrared illumination up to 100 metres, while the fixed ColorVu channel provides white supplemental light up to 30 metres. This supports both long-range night surveillance and colour overview imaging around the camera.
AcuSense Human & Vehicle Classification
Deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets for supported smart events including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection. This helps reduce nuisance alarms caused by irrelevant movement in busy outdoor scenes.
Dual Microphones, Speaker & Active Deterrence
Two built-in microphones and an integrated speaker support real-time audio communication, while the PTZ channel can trigger a strobe light and audio alarm for configured events. Separate line-level audio input and output are also available for external equipment.
Best For
- Car parks: Maintain a wide overview while using the PTZ channel to zoom onto vehicles, people or incidents elsewhere in the scene.
- Commercial perimeters: Human and vehicle classification, long-range IR and optical zoom suit fence lines, boundaries and restricted areas.
- Warehouses and logistics yards: TandemVu coverage reduces the need to choose between broad awareness and detailed PTZ investigation.
- Large campuses and open areas: 360° endless pan, 25× optical zoom and smart linkage support surveillance across expansive sites.
- After-hours protection: Strobe and audio alarm functions can provide an immediate warning when configured security rules are triggered.
Why Choose the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14
The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 solves one of the common compromises of conventional PTZ surveillance: when a PTZ camera zooms onto a target, operators can lose sight of what is happening elsewhere. TandemVu addresses this by combining a fixed ColorVu overview with an independent 25× PTZ channel in the same unit. AcuSense classification and smart linkage can help turn detected human or vehicle events into closer PTZ inspection, while 100 metre IR, 30 metre white light, dual microphones, a speaker and active warning functions broaden its night-time and response capabilities. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is particularly suitable for larger outdoor sites that require both continuous situational awareness and detailed long-range investigation.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This is a dual-channel TandemVu camera rather than a single-lens PTZ. Recording and live viewing can include both the fixed overview and PTZ channels, so allow for the additional network bandwidth, recorder channels and storage generated by two simultaneous 4MP video streams.
Buyer Tip: The fixed channel uses a 2.8 mm overview lens, while the PTZ channel uses the 5–125 mm zoom lens. The fixed ColorVu channel is intended to preserve the wider scene; use the PTZ channel when optical zoom, tracking or detailed inspection of a distant target is required.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 if: You need a fixed 4MP ColorVu overview plus a separate 4MP PTZ channel with 25× optical zoom, AcuSense classification, dual microphones and active warning functions.
- Choose a conventional PTZ if: Continuous fixed overview coverage is unnecessary and the project only needs one movable zoomable channel.
- Choose a higher-zoom PTZ if: The primary requirement is detailed inspection at substantially longer distances rather than the TandemVu combination of overview and 25× PTZ coverage.
- Check recorder capacity if: Both 4MP channels will be recorded continuously, as TandemVu can require more recorder channels, bandwidth and storage than a conventional single-channel PTZ.
FAQs
- Is the Hikvision DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 a dual-channel TandemVu camera?
Yes. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 combines a fixed 4MP overview channel with a separate 4MP PTZ channel in one housing. The fixed channel provides a wide ColorVu view while the PTZ channel can pan, tilt and optically zoom for closer detail. This TandemVu design helps operators maintain awareness of the wider scene while following or inspecting a target with the PTZ channel.
- What zoom does the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 provide?
The PTZ channel uses a 5–125 mm motorised lens with 25× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom. Its horizontal field of view adjusts from approximately 55° at the wide end to 2.4° at the tele end. This allows the camera to move from general scene coverage to a tightly focused view of distant people, vehicles or areas of interest.
- How far do the IR and white lights reach?
The PTZ channel provides infrared illumination up to 100 metres, while the fixed ColorVu overview channel provides white supplemental light up to 30 metres. The two lighting systems support different parts of the TandemVu design: long-range IR assists the zoomable PTZ channel, while visible white light supports colour imaging on the wide overview channel in low-light conditions.
- Does the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 support two-way audio?
Yes. The camera includes two built-in microphones and one built-in speaker for real-time audio communication. Hikvision specifies microphone pickup within a radius of up to 8 metres and an effective speaker distance of up to 20 metres. The camera also provides one line-level audio input and one line-level audio output for projects that require external audio equipment.
- What AcuSense analytics are built into the camera?
The camera uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets for supported smart events, helping reduce alarms caused by irrelevant movement. Smart event functions include line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection. It also supports face capture, regional people counting and smart linkage functions that can coordinate the fixed overview channel with the PTZ channel for tracking and closer inspection.
- Does the camera have active deterrence?
Yes. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 supports a strobe light and audio alarm that can be linked to configured PTZ-channel events. These functions allow the camera to provide a visible and audible warning when relevant security rules are triggered. Active deterrence can be combined with human and vehicle classification so responses can be focused on more meaningful targets rather than general scene movement.
- How much onboard storage does the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 support?
The camera includes a built-in memory-card slot supporting microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards up to 512 GB. Local storage can be used for recording and event capture and can complement supported network storage such as NAS and Auto Network Replenishment. When planning the camera through Security Wholesalers, match memory-card endurance and capacity to the actual recording workload rather than choosing storage by capacity alone.
- Is the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/14 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The camera is rated IP67 and is specified for operation from -30°C to 65°C with humidity up to 95% non-condensing. Hikvision also specifies TVS 6000 V lightning protection together with surge and voltage-transient protection. Correct mounting, cable sealing, power design and network protection are still required so the complete outdoor installation remains reliable.
