Hikvision is expanding the DarkFighter range of ultra-low-light surveillance cameras with the release of the DS-2DF8223I-AEL PTZ network camera. This camera uses Hikvision’s ultra-low-light MP lens and is designed specifically to capture sharp colour and monochrome images in extreme, low-light conditions. The result is crystal-clear colour images in conditions that would defeat conventional monochrome IP cameras and competing low-light cameras.
The DS-2DF8223I-AEL DarkFighter PTZ opens up new opportunities for 24-hour CCTV surveillance. The incorporation of EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation), 120 dB WDR and a plethora of smart detection technologies further improves image quality and operational convenience.
The DarkFighter camera features a large, two-megapixel, 1/1,9-inch progressive scan CMOS image sensor for capturing full colour images down to 0.002 Lux and B/W to 0.0002 Lux. Together with a 120 dB WDR (wide dynamic range) and Hikvision’s 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) technology, the camera is capable of streaming full HD 1920 x 1080 video at full frame rate. IR distance of up to 200 metres is further supported to ensure image capturing in the darkest environment.
The DarkFighter PTZ is fitted with a 23X optical zoom lens, which zooms from wide open to fully zoomed in less than five seconds. This high-power lens is capable of rotating endlessly through a full 360 degrees and tilting from -20° to 90°. Besides, its ultra-low-light performance is augmented with infrared capability over a range of 200 metres. In addition, up to 300 preset positions can be programmed and the new camera also enables up to 32 presets in up to 8 patrols. The DarkFighter PTZ will also scan up to 4 patterns and supports up to 24 ROI areas.
