Product Overview
Wide-area monitoring across car parks, industrial yards and commercial campuses often demands both a broad overview and the ability to inspect detail at a distance. The Hikvision DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) TandemVu addresses this by combining a 6MP panoramic bullet channel with a 4MP PTZ channel in one IP66-rated housing. The panoramic channel provides a 180° horizontal field of view with ColorVu full-colour low-light imaging and 30m white light, while the PTZ channel delivers 25x optical zoom with DarkFighter technology and 100m IR range. Featuring AcuSense human and vehicle classification, 300 PTZ presets, patrol and pattern scanning, and support for PoE+ or 12V DC power, this model is designed for sites where a standard fixed camera or standalone PTZ does not provide enough coverage intelligence. The included demist heater and glass heater allow it to operate reliably from -30°C to +65°C in demanding outdoor environments.
Key Capabilities
Dual-Channel TandemVu Design
The 6MP panoramic channel maintains a 180° overview of the full scene while the 4MP PTZ channel independently zooms into specific activity. This combination is particularly useful across car parks, entry roads and open yards where both broad context and close-up inspection are required simultaneously.
25x Optical Zoom on PTZ Channel
The 4.8-120mm PTZ lens with 25x optical zoom allows operators to inspect people, vehicles or incidents at significant distance. Combined with 360° endless pan and -15° to +90° tilt, this makes it practical for scanning large perimeter areas or following movement across an outdoor site.
ColorVu and DarkFighter Night Coverage
The panoramic channel uses ColorVu with a 30m white light for full-colour low-light imaging down to 0.0005 Lux. The PTZ channel uses DarkFighter with 100m IR for longer-range night monitoring. These two different night-view technologies work across both channels to suit different distance and scene requirements.
AcuSense Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning algorithms classify detected targets as human or vehicle, helping filter out alerts triggered by rain, leaves or general background movement. In large outdoor scenes where standard motion detection generates high false-alert volumes, this classification makes event review considerably more manageable.
300 PTZ Presets with Patrol and Pattern Scanning
Configurable presets, patrol routes and pattern scanning allow the PTZ channel to cover multiple areas of interest without requiring constant manual input. This is useful for monitored sites with multiple entry points, loading zones or perimeter sections that need to be checked on a regular cycle.
Heated Housing for Demanding Environments
The ADC12 aluminium housing includes a demist heater and glass heater alongside IP66 weatherproofing. With a confirmed operating range of -30°C to +65°C, this camera is suited to outdoor installations in harsh or variable climate conditions where standard cameras may fail due to condensation or temperature extremes.
Best For
- Car Parks and Open Yards: The 180° panoramic overview and 25x PTZ zoom work together across large vehicle areas where both scene coverage and individual inspection are operationally useful.
- Commercial and Industrial Perimeters: Suited to warehouses, depots, industrial sites and external boundaries where wide coverage paired with AcuSense target classification helps manage large outdoor scenes.
- Campus and Public Area Monitoring: Useful for school grounds, facility entrances and open public spaces where multiple zones need to be monitored from a single camera position.
- Entry Roads and Gate Points: A practical choice where both a broad approach view and zoomed vehicle or pedestrian inspection are required at the same location.
- Staffed or Operator-Monitored Sites: Best suited to installations where operators can actively use PTZ presets, zoom control and smart event linkage to respond to activity across a wide scene.
Why Choose the DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0)
The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) is suited to sites where neither a fixed camera nor a standalone PTZ provides enough capability on its own. A fixed camera holds one frame. A standalone PTZ loses the wider scene when it zooms. The TandemVu design solves this by running both channels independently, so the 180° panoramic view remains intact while the PTZ inspects a target with 25x optical zoom. The combination of ColorVu on the panoramic channel and DarkFighter on the PTZ channel means both night-view modes are working across the scene at once. AcuSense filtering helps operators manage alerts across large outdoor areas where general motion is constant. For buyers comparing wide-area surveillance options available at Security Wholesalers, the key advantage is that this model delivers overview context, zoomed detail, dual illumination types and deep learning detection in one weatherproof unit, including the DS-1618ZJ wall bracket in the box.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This TandemVu model draws up to 24W at maximum load, which requires a PoE+ switch or injector rather than standard PoE. Before finalising the installation, confirm that the network switch or NVR powering this camera supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ on the relevant port. Standard PoE ports rated at 15.4W may not deliver sufficient power under full operating conditions.
Buyer Tip: PTZ camera placement is more critical than a fixed camera. The mounting position must give both the panoramic and PTZ channels a clear, unobstructed view of the intended coverage area. Walls, poles, roof overhangs or vegetation that interrupt the panoramic channel’s 180° sweep or the PTZ’s long-range sightlines will significantly reduce the camera’s usefulness. Plan the mounting height and orientation before purchasing.

Ideal Use Cases
Car Parks
The 180° panoramic channel covers the full vehicle area, while the PTZ channel with 25x optical zoom can inspect specific vehicles, people or incidents without losing the broad scene context.
Warehouses and Loading Docks
Suitable for external loading areas, roller-door zones and perimeter roads where a wide overview and the ability to zoom in on vehicle movements or access activity add operational value.
Industrial Yard and Depot Perimeters
At fence lines, gate roads and open yards, the AcuSense filtering helps manage alerts across areas where general movement is frequent, while the PTZ can track or inspect targets in more detail.
Campus and School Grounds
Open spaces with multiple pedestrian and vehicle movement paths benefit from the panoramic overview, while PTZ presets and patrol routes can cycle between entry points, car parks and key zones.
Entry Roads and Access Gates
Position this camera at a gate or access road to maintain a broad approach view with the panoramic channel while using the PTZ to inspect vehicles or individuals entering or exiting the site.
Critical Infrastructure and Utility Sites
The IP66 rating, heated housing and -30°C to +65°C operating range make this suitable for remote or exposed outdoor sites where environmental conditions are demanding and the camera needs to run reliably year-round.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a 180° panoramic overview and 25x PTZ zoom inspection from a single camera location, with dual night-vision technologies and AcuSense classification for a large outdoor scene.
- Choose a different model if: You only need one stable fixed view of a doorway, shopfront or narrow entry point. A fixed turret or bullet camera is more cost-effective for those applications and does not require the PTZ configuration or PoE+ power that this model demands.
- Choose a different model if: You need a standalone PTZ without a built-in panoramic channel. If your installation already has separate overview cameras and you only need zoom control for a focused zone, a dedicated PTZ without the panoramic module may be a better fit.
- Plan the mounting location carefully: Both channels need unobstructed sightlines. Confirm the mounting position delivers the panoramic sweep and PTZ long-range view the site requires before committing to this camera.
FAQs
- What is TandemVu and how does it differ from a standard PTZ camera?
TandemVu combines a fixed panoramic bullet channel and a PTZ channel in a single housing. A standard PTZ camera only has one channel: when it zooms or turns to inspect one area, it loses sight of the rest of the scene. The TandemVu design keeps the 180° panoramic channel running continuously while the PTZ channel independently zooms, pans and tilts, so the wider overview is never interrupted.
- Does the panoramic channel and the PTZ channel record at the same time?
Yes. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) operates as a dual-channel network camera. Both the 6MP panoramic and 4MP PTZ streams are available simultaneously over the network. Recording both channels requires a compatible NVR or VMS that supports multi-channel input from a single camera device and enough storage for both streams.
- What power supply does this camera need?
The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) supports 12V DC and PoE+. The maximum power consumption is 24W, which exceeds the 15.4W limit of standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af). A PoE+ switch or injector rated to IEEE 802.3at is required if powering over Ethernet. Confirm the port rating on your switch before installation.
- How far does this camera see at night across both channels?
The panoramic channel uses ColorVu with 30m white light illumination for full-colour imaging down to 0.0005 Lux. The PTZ channel uses DarkFighter IR with a range of up to 100m for longer-distance monochrome night monitoring. Real-world performance depends on mounting height, subject size, reflectivity and ambient light conditions at the specific site.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions?
Yes. The housing is IP66 rated and built from ADC12 aluminium. The camera includes a demist heater and glass heater, and has a confirmed operating temperature range of -30°C to +65°C. This makes it suitable for exposed outdoor installations in variable climate conditions. Correct cable entry sealing and appropriate mounting hardware are still important for long-term reliability.
- Does AcuSense work on both channels or only the PTZ?
The AcuSense human and vehicle classification is confirmed for this camera model. For detailed channel-level configuration of AI features, refer to the official Hikvision datasheet linked in the Additional Information section below. The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) is listed in the Hikvision AcuSense camera range, and this is reflected in the product categories available through Security Wholesalers.
- Can the PTZ channel auto-track moving subjects?
The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) supports PTZ linkage and smart events including line crossing, intrusion detection, and region entrance and exiting. PTZ tracking behaviour is configured through presets, patrol routes and event-linked PTZ actions. The extent and accuracy of tracking depend on configuration, mounting position and scene conditions at the installation site.
- What is included in the box with this camera?
The DS-2SE4C425MWG-E/26(F0) includes the DS-1618ZJ wall bracket as a supplied accessory. This bracket is designed for wall-mounting the TandemVu housing. Any additional mounting hardware, cabling, PoE+ switches or recorders must be sourced separately to suit the specific installation requirements.
