DS-2DF8242IX-AELW(T5) - 8-inch 2 MP 42X DarkFighter IR PTZ Speed Dome Network Camera

The Hikvision DS-2DF8242IX-AELW(T5) is a top-tier, heavy-duty 8-inch 2 MP DarkFighter network pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) speed dome camera engineered for long-range surveillance and automated edge-AI target analytics. Armed with an exceptional 42× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom, it captures highly detailed forensic evidence across vast landscapes, while its high-power laser-assisted infrared LEDs provide an industry-leading night vision range up to 400 metres. The "W" suffix in its model number denotes an integrated, motorized windshield wiper that automatically clears rain, condensation, and dirt from the optical window, ensuring uninterrupted 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 shell with an integrated "-AEL" climate heater for freezing conditions, this high-speed dome provides maximum tracking power for airports, harbors, and critical perimeters.
