Test Hikvision 2 Megapixel DarkFighterX IP PTZ Dome Camera

Hikvision DS-2DF8225IH DarkFitherX series smart high-speed PTZ dome camera owns excellent hardware and software design, specially it can capture clear color image under low light condition, combing the smart pan/tilt/zoom function, it’s suitable for applications requiring large area coverage and high quality image.

Exclusive Industrial Design

Hikvision DarkFighterX dome camera adopts unique appearance design, it’s a 266.6x437mm dimension and weight 8kg dome camera. This product has two models; a normal style and wiper style which can automatically clean the water drops on camera’s front glass hence can improve image quality in raining days. This security camera can operate in a -40 Celsius degree – 70 Celsius degree a wide range temperature, its ingress protection reaches up to IP67, inside TVS 6000V lightning protection, anti-surge, and complies Chinese GB/T17626.5 grade 4 standard, all these features allow it to adapt into varies environmental conditions.

This smart ptz supports peripheral interfaces including power input, Ethernet, audio I/O, alarm I/O, BNC, RS485 etc, it has an microSD/TF card slot design can support on-board video storage up to 256GB. Equipped with high performance processor and precise motor mechanism design, can rotate smoothly and response quickly, easy to position targets.

H.265 1080P30fps

Hikvision DS-2DF8225IH series DarkFighterX smart PTZ camera utilizes 1/2.8” progressive scan CMOS, unique dual-sensor architecutre can support ultra wide wavelength light image capturing. It supports multiple video compression standard e.g. H.265/H.264/MJPEG, output maximum 1920x1080@30fps video. The unique innovative SpecEX image combing technology can combine two images with different details, therefore can capture true color reproduction image, also ensure image details. Dual image signal processors to process images separately, one ISP specializes in color, especially optimize the image color under low lighting condition to enhance the accuracy of color reproduction. The other ISP is responsible for processing image details to improve image clarity.

Since the camera offers H.265 video compression, the camera can deliver 1080P30FPS video with average 1.2Mbps bitrate, which has doubled the video compression efficiency than H.264. By employing H.265 video surveillance equipment you are able to save a huge investment on video bandwidth and storage.

Excellent Low Light Performance

Hikvision DS-2DF8225IH DarkFighterX series PTZ camera leverages high efficient IR array LEDs, low power consumption, IR illumination reaches up to 200 meters. It supports auto color to B/W mode, the minimum illumination is 0.0004Lux@(F1.5, AGC ON), B/W: 0.0001Lux@(F1.5, AGC ON), 0 Lux with IR, other features include optical defog, optical WDR, HLC, 120dB WDR, can be used in challenge lighting conditions.

Hikvision DarkFighterX PTZ camera supports 360 degree continuous rotating, tilt -20 degree – 90 degree, no viewing blind spots, it’s equipped with a 4.8-120mm lens, supports 25x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom.

Smart Video Analytics

As it’s a smart camera, the included smart functions include manual tracking, panoramic tracking, event tracking, 300 presets, 8 cruise settings, support 3D positioning, can use the mouse to quickly lock then track the moving target, support real-time or event snapshot, schedule task, one-key watch, one-key cruise etc. Other smart features including road monitoring, car license capturing and querying, cloud storage service.

In real test, after operator select the tracking vehicle, the camera can precisely lock and track the vehicle until it drives away from view. Furthermore, after complete a tracking task it can track another moving target, or patrol the area according to preset cruise.

Lastly, Hikvision DarkFighterX PTZ camera can support intrusion detection, perimeter detection, face recognition, missing object detection, audio abnormal detection, motion detection ect several video analytics, smart video analytics become the standard feature for all Hikvision cameras.
