Description
Hikvision DS-2DE5425IW-AE(T5) 4MP 25x Optical Zoom DarkFighter IP PTZ Camera with 150m IR
Hikvision DS-2DE5425IW-AE(T5) gives you the flexibility to watch a wide outdoor area and zoom in when something needs a closer look. Its 4MP resolution, 25x optical zoom and remotely controlled pan and tilt make it a practical choice for monitoring entrances, vehicle movements and activity across yards, car parks and commercial premises.
This 4MP DarkFighter PTZ camera combines improved low-light performance with infrared illumination reaching up to 150 metres. Human and vehicle classification helps focus perimeter alerts on relevant activity, while preset positions and patrol routes make it easier to revisit the areas that matter throughout the day.
Key Features
- ✓ 4MP video: Record at up to 2560 × 1440 resolution for detailed live viewing and playback.
- ✓ 25x optical zoom: The 4.8–120mm motorised lens lets you move from a wider view to a closer look at distant activity.
- ✓ Powered by DarkFighter: Low-light imaging helps retain useful scene detail as available light falls.
- ✓ Up to 150m infrared illumination: Supports black-and-white monitoring after dark, with actual visibility depending on the scene and conditions.
- ✓ Human and vehicle classification: Configure supported perimeter events around the target types relevant to your site.
- ✓ Flexible PTZ coverage: 360° pan, a -15° to 90° tilt range and 300 preset positions support monitoring across larger areas.
- ✓ 120dB wide dynamic range: Helps balance bright backgrounds and shaded areas in the same image.
- ✓ Recording options: Connect to a compatible NVR or use an optional microSD card up to 256GB.
- ✓ PoE+ or 24V AC power: Choose the appropriate power arrangement for your installation.
- ✓ IP66 metal housing: Designed for outdoor use when installed with correctly protected connections.
Why Choose This Product?
The Hikvision DS-2DE5425IW-AE(T5) suits sites where operators need both an overview and the ability to inspect activity more closely. You can move between stored views of an entrance, loading bay or boundary without physically adjusting the camera. It also works well alongside fixed cameras, which can maintain continuous coverage while the PTZ is looking elsewhere.
25x Optical Zoom for Closer Inspection
A 25x optical zoom IP camera changes its view through the lens, allowing you to bring distant subjects closer without relying solely on digital enlargement. The 4.8–120mm lens supports automatic, semi-automatic and manual focusing, helping you adjust the view to suit the task.
Store frequently used views as presets or create patrols that move between selected positions. The camera supports eight patrols with up to 32 presets per patrol, plus four pattern scans for repeating recorded camera movements.
DarkFighter Imaging and 150m IR Night Vision
Powered-by-DarkFighter technology improves performance in low-light scenes, while the infrared illuminator supports monitoring when visible light is insufficient. This 150m IR PTZ camera is useful for longer outdoor views where lighting is limited. The quoted IR distance describes illumination reach; usable detail still depends on zoom position, weather, reflections and the subject.
120dB WDR helps with difficult lighting around entrances and other areas containing both strong light and deep shadow. Highlight compensation, backlight compensation, digital noise reduction and digital defog provide additional image adjustments for changing conditions.
Human and Vehicle Perimeter Detection
Set virtual lines or monitored regions to receive alerts for activity in selected areas. Supported perimeter functions include line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exit, with human and vehicle classification available for these events.
These settings help you concentrate on relevant movement around gates, vehicle access routes and restricted areas. Detection performance depends on camera positioning, scene conditions and configuration. Recording and notification options also depend on the connected system.
Recording, Remote Viewing and Audio Connections
Use a compatible network video recorder for central recording and playback, or install a suitable microSD card for local camera storage. H.265 and H.265+ compression can reduce recording storage and network requirements compared with less efficient encoding, depending on the scene and settings.
Hik-Connect, iVMS-4200 and HikCentral Pro are supported for compatible viewing and management arrangements. The camera provides one audio line input and one line output for compatible external audio equipment, together with two alarm inputs and one alarm output.

Installation & Compatibility
Power: Use a suitable IEEE 802.3at PoE+ connection or 24V AC supply. Allow for the camera’s maximum 24W consumption, cable losses and the power needs of other connected devices. Check both the individual PoE port capacity and the total recorder or switch power budget.
Mounting: Fix the camera and bracket to a suitable structure capable of supporting the installation. Protect outdoor cable joints and power connections against moisture. For corner, pole or ceiling installations, confirm the correct mounting assembly before ordering.
Recording and control: Choose an NVR that supports the camera’s resolution, encoding and PTZ functions. Smart-event recording, face-capture handling and alarm notifications depend on the recorder, firmware and configuration. ONVIF support does not guarantee every advanced function across different brands.
Remote access and audio: Hik-Connect remote viewing requires a suitable network connection and configuration. Audio use requires compatible external equipment connected to the camera’s line input/output.
Complete Your Installation
Build a complete recording and viewing setup with these separately available accessories:
- Hikvision DS-7604NXI-K1/4P NVR: A four-channel recorder for a smaller IP CCTV system. Its PoE supply has a 50W total budget, so calculate the combined demand of this PTZ and every other connected camera before using the recorder to power them.
- 20m outdoor CAT5 network cable: A solid-copper cable with pre-fitted RJ45 connectors for a convenient camera-to-network connection. Protect the connectors when installed outdoors.
