Why choose the DS-2DF8442IXG1-ELWY

The DS-2DF8442IXG1-ELWY is a long-range workhorse. A 1/1.8″ 4 MP sensor behind a 6–250 mm, 42× optical lens, DarkFighter 2.0 (colour to 0.0003 lux) and 400 m of infrared let it identify people and vehicles at long distance, day or night. 150 dB WDR, optical defog and gyroscope-assisted stabilisation keep the picture usable into the sun, through haze and on a swaying pole. Deep learning adds face capture and comparison, vehicle analytics and auto-tracking 3.0. A wiper, heater and NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing suit exposed sites. Supplied by ARC IP Networks from genuine Australian stock with local support.

Before you order: this camera needs Hi-PoE or 36 VDC (max. 40 W including IR and heater) — standard PoE+ ports will not run it. It has no built-in microphone or speaker (audio line in/out only) and weighs approximately 8 kg, so use a Hikvision mount rated for it, such as the DS-4603ZJ-WAAC wall mount.

Best for

  • Long-range perimeters: 42× zoom and 400 m infrared.
  • Harsh and coastal sites: NEMA 4X, IP67, IK10 and a wiper.
  • Backlit scenes: 150 dB WDR and optical defog.
  • Automatic follow-up: auto-tracking 3.0 on people and vehicles.
  • Identification: face capture/comparison and vehicle analytics.

Who it’s for

Industrial & mining

Stockpiles, haul roads and plant perimeters.

Ports & marinas

Anti-corrosion housing for salt-air sites.

Utilities

Substations, pump stations and solar farms.

Transport

Highways, rail corridors and depots.

City surveillance

Professional Overview

The Hikvision DS-2DF8442IXG1-ELWY is a DF8 Series 4 MP network speed dome for long-range, round-the-clock surveillance. With 42× optical zoom, DarkFighter 2.0 and 400 m of infrared, it is designed for industrial estates, mines, ports, utilities and city surveillance, where one PTZ has to cover a great deal of ground.

A 1/1.8″ progressive scan sensor captures 2688 × 1520 at up to 60 fps through a 6–250 mm lens (56.6° to 1.7° horizontal, max. F1.2). Hikvision rates it to 0.0003 lux in colour and 0.0001 lux in black and white, with 150 dB WDR, optical defog and gyroscope-assisted image stabilisation. It pans at up to 210°/s and 280°/s between presets.

Deep-learning functions include perimeter protection, face capture and comparison against up to 150,000 enrolled faces, vehicle attribute detection and licence-plate recognition in checkpoint scenarios. Auto-tracking 3.0 follows targets automatically, and seven alarm inputs, two outputs, RS-485 and an analogue BNC output make it easy to integrate.

The IP67, IK10 and NEMA 4X rated housing includes a wiper, heater and demister and operates from −40 to 70 °C, powered by 36 VDC or Hi-PoE at up to 40 W. Australian warranty and local support come via ARC IP Networks. Australian stock from ARC IP Networks.

Complete your system

This camera needs Hi-PoE or 36 VDC (max. 40 W). NVR PoE ports cannot run it — connect it to a Hi-PoE switch port and uplink the switch to your recorder.
