Hikvision is expanding their DarkFighter range of ultra-low-light surveillance cameras with the DS-2DF8223I-AEL PTZ network camera. This cutting-edge camera utilises Hikvision's industry-leading, 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 most conventional monochrome IP cameras and competing low-light cameras. It is fitted with a fast and powerful 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 degrees. Its ultra-low-light performance is augmented with infrared capability over a range of 200 meters.
The Darkfighter smart PTZ opens up new opportunities for 24- hour CCTV surveillance. The incorporation of EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation), 120dB WDR and a plethora of Smart Detection technologies further improves image quality and operational convenience.
The overall excellence of the camera has been recognised by the IFSEC Security & Fire Excellence Awards as a finalist for “CCTV Camera Equipment of the Year”.
