Product Overview
Combining a 4MP fixed ColorVu bullet camera with a 4MP DarkFighter PTZ camera in a single housing, the TandemVu DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is built for sites where both broad scene awareness and targeted zoom detail are needed from one installation point. The fixed bullet channel covers a 114.9° horizontal field of view for wide-area overview, while the PTZ channel provides 4x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom with a -5° to 90° tilt range for detailed inspection of subjects at distance. Featuring deep-learning-based human and vehicle detection on the Pano channel, the camera can trigger PTZ tracking toward detected targets, reducing the need for manual operator input. It also includes 40m IR on the PTZ channel and 30m IR plus 30m white light on the bullet channel for dual-mode night visibility. With IP66 weatherproofing, heated glass demisting, and power via 12V DC or PoE+, the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is well suited to outdoor commercial and industrial monitoring where a single camera must serve two distinct functions.
Key Capabilities
TandemVu Dual-Channel Imaging
Two independent 4MP sensors operate simultaneously: the fixed ColorVu bullet provides constant wide-area coverage at 114.9° horizontal field of view, while the PTZ channel zooms and pans to inspect specific targets without losing the overview feed.
Human and Vehicle Detection with PTZ Tracking
Deep-learning detection on the Pano channel identifies humans and vehicles and can trigger the PTZ channel to track the detected target automatically. This suits unmanned or lightly monitored sites where operator response time matters.
DarkFighter Low-Light PTZ Channel
The PTZ channel achieves 0.005 Lux in black and white with an F1.5 aperture, supporting usable imagery in near-dark outdoor environments. Combined with 40m IR, it maintains zoom-level detail well into the night without relying solely on supplemental lighting.
ColorVu Bullet Channel with White Light
The fixed bullet channel uses a hybrid IR and white light supplement, providing up to 30m of full-colour night visibility across the wide overview scene. This supports colour-accurate footage of the broader area even in total darkness.
4x Optical Zoom with 300 Presets
The PTZ channel covers a focal range of 2.8 to 12mm with a zoom speed of approximately 3.3 seconds. Up to 300 presets and 8 patrol scans with 32 presets each allow operators to program structured coverage routes across large outdoor areas.
IP66, Heated Glass and Wide Temperature Range
Rated IP66 for dust and water ingress resistance, the camera also features heated glass demisting for cold or high-humidity environments and operates across -30°C to 50°C, making it suitable for outdoor year-round deployment in challenging Australian conditions.
Best For
- Commercial Car Parks and Forecourts: The wide 114.9° bullet overview combined with PTZ zoom lets a single camera cover entrance lanes and track individuals or vehicles of interest without a separate dedicated overview camera.
- Industrial Yards and Loading Areas: Human and vehicle detection on the Pano channel can trigger automatic PTZ tracking, reducing reliance on continuous operator monitoring across large open areas.
- Building Perimeter and Gate Monitoring: The 350° pan range and -5° to 90° tilt on the PTZ channel allow coverage of wide perimeter arcs, while the fixed bullet retains a constant overview feed for recording purposes.
- Sites with Single Cable Run Constraints: PoE+ powering means one Cat6 cable delivers both power and data, reducing installation complexity where running dual cables or conduit is impractical.
- Cold Climate or High-Humidity Outdoor Installations: The heated glass demist feature and -30°C to 50°C operating range make this suitable for exposed outdoor locations where condensation or frost would otherwise impair a standard outdoor camera.
Why Choose the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14
The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 addresses a common trade-off in camera placement: wide scene coverage versus close-up detail. A standard fixed camera captures the broad view but cannot zoom in on subjects, while a standalone PTZ loses the overview the moment it pans to a target. The TandemVu design eliminates this problem by running both channels simultaneously, recording the full scene and the zoomed detail independently. The deep-learning human and vehicle detection on the Pano channel further reduces false alerts from environmental movement, focusing PTZ tracking on relevant subjects. On-board storage supports up to 512GB via Micro SD, and the 120dB WDR handles high-contrast lighting across vehicle entrances and lit forecourts. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is a practical choice for installers who need to reduce camera count without sacrificing monitoring capability at a single critical vantage point.
Buyer Decision Tips
PTZ Tracking Speed: The auto-tracking function on this model suits pedestrian movement at walking pace. If your site requires tracking fast-moving vehicles or running subjects reliably, the tracking response on this model may not keep up consistently. A higher-end TandemVu model with faster PTZ mechanics would be more appropriate for those scenarios.
PoE+ Power Requirement: This camera requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) rather than standard PoE (802.3af). Confirm your switch or injector supports PoE+ before installation. Standard PoE switches will not supply sufficient power and the camera will not operate correctly. Alternatively, 12V DC can be used where a PoE+ switch is not available.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Car Parks
The 114.9° bullet overview captures the full bay layout while the PTZ channel can zoom in on licence plates or individuals. Human and vehicle detection on the Pano channel enables targeted PTZ movement without manual operator input.
Industrial Yards and Depots
Wide outdoor yards with perimeter access points benefit from the 350° pan range and auto-tracking capability. The IP66 rating and heated glass demist support year-round outdoor installation without additional housing.
Building Entry and Gate Monitoring
The fixed bullet channel records the constant gate overview while the PTZ channel inspects approaching vehicles or individuals at up to 4x optical zoom. The 30m white light on the bullet channel delivers colour night footage of the entry zone.
Retail Forecourts and Petrol Stations
The dual-channel design means the forecourt overview is always recorded even when the PTZ is tracking a subject in another part of the scene. The 120dB WDR handles the contrast between lit canopy areas and darker surrounds.
Construction Sites and Vacant Land
After-hours monitoring benefits from the DarkFighter PTZ reaching 0.005 Lux sensitivity and 40m IR, while the bullet channel keeps the broader site visible. Patrol scans and scheduled tasks allow unmanned coverage across multiple zones through the night.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need simultaneous wide-area overview and zoom detail from a single camera position, with human and vehicle detection triggering PTZ tracking for walking-speed subjects, and your switch supports PoE+.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires tracking fast-moving vehicles or running subjects reliably. The PTZ mechanics on this model suit pedestrian pace; a higher-end TandemVu PTZ with faster motor response would be more appropriate for rapid-movement scenarios.
- Choose a different model if: Your coverage area demands more than 4x optical zoom. Sites requiring detailed identification at distances beyond this model’s zoom range would benefit from a higher-zoom PTZ camera rather than the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14.
FAQs
- What is TandemVu and how does it work on the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14?
TandemVu is Hikvision’s dual-sensor architecture that combines a fixed wide-angle camera with a PTZ camera in one unit. On the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14, the fixed 4MP ColorVu bullet records a continuous 114.9° overview while the 4MP PTZ channel independently zooms, pans, and tilts. Both streams are recorded simultaneously, so you never lose the wide scene when the PTZ moves to inspect a target.
- Does the PTZ automatically track detected people and vehicles?
Yes. The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 uses deep-learning human and vehicle detection on the Pano channel. When a target is detected, the PTZ channel can be triggered to track it automatically. However, the tracking speed is suited to walking-pace subjects. For sites requiring tracking of faster-moving targets, a higher-specification TandemVu model would be more appropriate.
- What power supply does this camera require?
The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 supports 12V DC and PoE+. PoE+ operates to the IEEE 802.3at standard, which delivers higher wattage than standard PoE (802.3af). A standard PoE switch will not provide adequate power. Confirm your network switch or PoE injector is rated for PoE+ before installation.
- How does night vision differ between the two channels?
The PTZ channel uses IR illumination with a range of up to 40m and achieves 0.005 Lux sensitivity in black and white at F1.5. The bullet channel uses a hybrid IR and white light supplement, providing up to 30m IR and 30m white light, delivering full-colour night footage across the wide overview scene.
- Can this camera store footage locally without an NVR?
Yes. The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 supports on-board Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC storage up to 512GB. It also supports NAS via NFS and SMB/CIFS, and ANR (automatic network replenishment) to back-fill footage to a recorder if the network connection is temporarily interrupted.
- Is the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 suitable for outdoor use in harsh conditions?
Yes. The camera carries an IP66 rating for dust and water ingress protection and operates across -30°C to 50°C. It also features heated glass to prevent condensation and frosting on the lens cover in cold or high-humidity environments. Surge and voltage transient protection is included for exposed outdoor installation points, and this product is part of the Security Wholesalers range of IP66-rated outdoor PTZ cameras.
- How many preset positions and patrol routes does the PTZ channel support?
The PTZ channel supports up to 300 preset positions and 8 patrol scan routes, with each patrol accommodating up to 32 presets. Scheduled tasks including dome reboot, preset positioning, and patrol scanning can be programmed to run automatically at set times, supporting unmanned overnight coverage patterns.
