DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T5) - 8-inch 8MP 4K 42X DarkFighter IR PTZ Speed Dome Network Camera

The Hikvision DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW(T5) is an ultra-high-definition, heavy-duty 8-inch 4K network pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) speed dome camera engineered for extreme-distance surveillance and advanced edge-AI target analytics. Armed with an ultra-large 1/1.2" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor, it delivers stunning 8 MP resolution video alongside exceptional DarkFighter low-light performance and 140 dB WDR. Its powerful 42× optical zoom tracks long-range details across vast landscapes, while its high-power infrared array provides an expansive night view up to 500 metres. The "W" suffix denotes an integrated, motorized windshield wiper that automatically clears rain and condensation from the glass window, ensuring uninterrupted optical clarity without physical maintenance. Driven by the "(T5)" fifth-generation deep-learning platform, the camera runs intensive edge analytics, including an automated moving face-capture grading engine and native road traffic vehicle detection. Enclosed in a fully submersible IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant shell (excluding glass) with an integrated "-AEL" climate heater for freezing conditions, this high-speed dome provides maximum tracking power for coastal borders, major runways, and critical national infrastructure.
