The Hikvision DS‑2SE4C225MWG‑E(12F0) is a professional TandemVu PTZ that pairs a wide‑angle fixed channel with a long‑reach 25× optical zoom PTZ. Designed for large perimeters, estates and commercial sites, it combines ColourVu and DarkFighter low‑light technologies, powerful zoom, reliable environmental protection and smart analytics — all in one compact unit.

Why choose this camera?

• TandemVu dual‑channel design: continuous situational awareness from the wide channel, with fast zoom‑in detail from the PTZ channel.
• Excellent low‑light performance: ColourVu + DarkFighter technologies produce usable colour and detail in very low light.
• Long reach zoom: 25× optical zoom (4.8–120mm) plus 16× digital for accurate identification at distance.
• Rugged and reliable: IP66/67 rated housing, lightning protection and wide operating temperature for tough South African exteriors.
• Flexible power & connectivity: PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or 12V DC options make installation versatile.

Suggested applications

• Large perimeter security for factories, distribution centres and mines
• Estate and complex monitoring where both wide situational awareness and zoom detail are required
• Stadiums, parking facilities and campuses requiring active tracking and deterrence
• Critical infrastructure and commercial compound entrances

Installation & configuration notes

• Mount the camera using the correct bracket and ensure the housing is shielded from direct spray (if possible).
• Power planning: confirm PoE+ budget on the switch or use 12V DC if PoE infrastructure is limited. Account for cable run length and voltage drop for 12V installations.
• Configure detection regions, PTZ presets and patrols after mounting to reduce false alarms and optimise coverage.
• Use VLANs and strong passwords; enable HTTPS and limit management access to trusted IPs for improved security.
• Set up NVR or VMS recording profiles to use H.265 compression where possible to save storage without sacrificing quality.
