4 MP Outdoor PT Monitoring with Wi-Fi, IR and Two-Way Audio

The Hikvision DS-2DE2C400IWG/W is a 4 MP fixed-lens outdoor PT (pan-and-tilt) network camera designed for network video monitoring where remotely adjustable viewing direction and wireless connectivity are useful.

It combines 2560 × 1440 resolution, Wi-Fi, up to 30 m IR illumination, built-in microphone and speaker, human and vehicle detection, Auto-tracking Lite, microSD recording support and IP66 environmental protection.

Hikvision offers the camera with 2.8 mm and 4 mm fixed-lens options. Confirm the exact lens/version before ordering.

Lens Options

The DS-2DE2C400IWG/W is documented with two fixed focal-length options.

2.8 mm Lens

Horizontal FOV: 91°
Vertical FOV: 49°
Diagonal FOV: 108°

4 mm Lens

Horizontal FOV: 74°
Vertical FOV: 40°
Diagonal FOV: 87°

The lens is fixed, while the camera itself provides motorized pan-and-tilt movement. The exact lens supplied should therefore be checked before purchase.

Pan & Tilt

Pan Range: 0° to 345°
Tilt Range: 0° to 80°
Pan Speed: Up to 25°/second
Tilt Speed: Up to 20°/second

Important Buyer Guidance

The term PT describes the camera's ability to change its viewing direction through pan and tilt.

It should not be confused with an optical-zoom PTZ camera. The DS-2DE2C400IWG/W uses a fixed 2.8 mm or 4 mm lens, depending on the selected version.

Infrared Night Monitoring

The camera uses 850 nm IR illumination with a manufacturer-specified infrared distance of up to 30 metres.

Actual usable nighttime image distance can vary according to the installation environment, target reflectivity, weather, camera positioning and surrounding lighting.

Human & Vehicle Detection

Hikvision lists Human Detection, Vehicle Detection and Auto-tracking Lite among the principal features of this model.

These capabilities can be useful where the monitoring requirement involves distinguishing relevant target types rather than relying only on basic scene movement.

Feature behaviour and configuration should be checked against the current firmware and intended surveillance system before deployment.

Two-Way Audio

The DS-2DE2C400IWG/W includes both a:

• Built-in microphone
• Built-in speaker

Hikvision describes this as supporting real-time audio security functionality.

Audio compression includes G.711 and AAC-LC, with environmental noise filtering supported.

Recording or monitoring audio may be subject to privacy and surveillance regulations. Users are responsible for ensuring that their installation and use comply with applicable UAE requirements.

Local microSD Recording

A built-in memory-card slot supports:

microSD / SDHC / SDXC cards up to 512 GB.

This provides an option for camera-side storage, subject to the selected memory card, configuration and recording settings.

A memory card should not be assumed to be included unless specifically stated with the supplied product.

Video

Main Stream Maximum: 2560 × 1440 at 20 fps
Main Stream Compression: H.265 / H.264
Sub-Stream Compression: H.265 / H.264
Video Bit Rate: 256 Kbps to 2 Mbps

Wi-Fi & Network Connectivity

Wi-Fi Standards: IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Wi-Fi Frequency: 2.412 GHz to 2.472 GHz
Channel Bandwidth: 20 MHz
Wireless Encryption: WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK

Network protocols documented by Hikvision include TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DHCP, DNS, RTP, RTSP, NTP, IPv4, IPv6 and others.

API: ONVIF and SDK.

Compatibility with a particular third-party NVR, VMS or application should nevertheless be verified before purchase rather than assumed solely from protocol support.

Hik-Connect

Hikvision lists Hik-Connect cloud service and app support for remote management and device viewing as a feature of the DS-2DE2C400IWG/W.

Internet access, network configuration, account configuration and applicable Hikvision service availability may be required for remote functionality.

Applications

Depending on the installation requirements and applicable privacy/security regulations, the DS-2DE2C400IWG/W may be considered for:

• Building exterior monitoring
• Shop and business premises
• Entrance areas
• Small warehouses
• Parking-area observation
• Residential exterior areas
• Perimeter observation
• Outdoor network-camera applications

The suitability of any surveillance camera depends on the actual coverage area, identification requirements, lighting, network availability, recording requirements and installation position.

Purpose of Use

This camera is primarily suited to applications requiring a combination of:

4 MP network video + remotely adjustable pan/tilt direction + Wi-Fi + outdoor protection + IR + local storage + audio functionality.

It may be particularly useful where a fixed camera's viewing direction would be too restrictive but an optical-zoom PTZ system is unnecessary.

Before Choosing This Camera

Consider the 2.8 mm version where a wider field of view is more important.

Consider the 4 mm version where a somewhat narrower field of view is appropriate.

Also determine whether your project requires:

• Wi-Fi or wired networking
• Local microSD recording
• NVR recording
• Human/vehicle detection
• Audio
• Remote viewing
• Wider coverage
• Optical zoom

If optical zoom is an essential requirement, another Hikvision PTZ model may be more appropriate because this model uses a fixed focal-length lens.
