Frequently Asked Questions
Does the VIGI C340S record in colour at night?
Yes. The C340S uses dual smart supplemental lights (white light and IR) to produce full-colour footage in low-light and dark conditions. The camera intelligently switches between colour and IR modes based on ambient light levels.
Does it require a VIGI NVR?
No — the C340S can be used as a standalone camera managed via the VIGI app on your smartphone, or integrated with the free VIGI Security Manager software on a Windows PC. A VIGI NVR is recommended for multi-camera sites requiring continuous local recording and storage.
Is it suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The C340S carries an IP67 weatherproof rating (fully protected against dust and heavy rain) and operates across a wide temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C, making it well-suited to Australian climates from tropical north Queensland to alpine Victoria.
What PoE standard does it use?
The C340S is powered by 802.3af PoE (standard PoE), drawing a maximum of 10 W. It is compatible with any 802.3af or 802.3at (PoE+) switch or injector.
Can I view footage remotely on my phone?
Yes. The VIGI app (available on iOS and Android) allows you to view live and recorded footage, receive smart detection alerts, and use two-way audio from anywhere with an internet connection.
How much storage does it use?
Thanks to H.265+ compression, the C340S uses significantly less storage than older H.264 cameras — up to 75% less in ideal conditions. Actual storage consumption depends on scene complexity, frame rate, and recording schedule. A VIGI NVR with a compatible hard drive is recommended for continuous recording.

Hikvision iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH — 4MP Ultra-Low-Temperature DeepinView Moto Varifocal Bullet (Boots and Runs from −60 °C)
The Hikvision iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH is a specialty 4MP DeepinView bullet camera engineered for one purpose: to start up, run continuously and deliver usable imagery at temperatures down to −60 °C (−76 °F). That places it well beyond the −30 °C / −40 °C floor of conventional Hikvision DeepinView and AcuSense cameras. This is a perimeter-protection specialty camera — not an ANPR camera, not an active-deterrence camera, and not an AcuSeek camera — purpose-built for the cold environments where standard cameras simply refuse to boot.
Typical Australian deployments include commercial cold-storage and freezer warehouses, abattoir chillers, flash-freeze tunnels in food processing, refrigerated logistics, ice rinks, alpine telecom huts and mast cabinets, ski-resort chairlift towers, mining sites in the Snowy Mountains and Tasmanian high country, LNG and industrial-gas plants, and any sub-polar marine or research deployment. The camera pairs a 1/1.8" 4MP DarkFighter CMOS sensor with LightFighter 140 dB WDR, a 2.8–12 mm motorised varifocal lens, smart IR illumination to 50 m, and a built-in front-glass heater plus demist to keep the lens clear of ice, fog and cold-warm condensation cycling. On-camera DeepinView deep-learning drives line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting alarms with human-and-vehicle classification, and the AI Open Platform accepts one custom detection / classification / mixed model for site-specific analytics. Full metal-bodied construction, IP67 sealed and IK10 vandal-resistant (excluding the glass window). Australian stock, 3-year Australian warranty.

What This Camera Is — and What It Isn't
It's worth getting the positioning right upfront. The iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH is a specialty cold-environment perimeter-protection camera. It does one job extraordinarily well, and it deliberately doesn't try to do anything else. Knowing what's not on the spec sheet stops you from spec'ing the wrong camera for the wrong job.
✓ Perimeter Protection at −60 °C
On-camera deep-learning runs line-crossing, intrusion, region-entrance and region-exiting alarms with human-and-vehicle classification — accurate enough for chill-room access compliance, freezer-aisle dwell-time alerts, ski-resort gate counting and alpine-base perimeter watch.
✓ Cold-Soak Cold Start
Rated to start up from −60 °C — not merely operate after being warmed by sun. When power cycles overnight at an alpine site or an unstaffed cold-store, this camera boots immediately. Conventional cameras can refuse to boot until ambient warms past −30 °C.
✓ One-Slot AI Open Platform
One custom deep-learning model can be uploaded directly to the camera (detection, classification or mixed). Useful for PPE-on-personnel detection in cold-rooms, vehicle-type classification on alpine access roads, hi-vis detection at chairlift loading points.
✗ Not an ANPR / Plate-Recognition Camera
This model is not a number-plate camera. There is no LPR engine, no vehicle-attribute capture, no plate blocklist/allowlist, no Road-Traffic-and-Vehicle-Detection feature set. For on-camera ANPR, choose the iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY (G2 ANPR bullet) instead.
✗ Not an Active-Deterrence Camera
No strobe, no built-in speaker, no built-in microphone, no two-way audio. For sites where the camera also needs to challenge an intruder with light and voice, pair this perimeter sensor with a separate AcuSense Smart Hybrid Light camera at the entry point.
✗ Not an AcuSeek-Native Camera
The camera predates Hikvision's AcuSeek roll-out and does not feed native AcuSeek metadata (persons / plates / vehicles / animals) into the NVR. It records and streams cleanly over ONVIF and Hikvision ISAPI to any modern Hikvision NVR — you just don't get plain-English natural-language search across this camera's archive.
Important Install Note — 12 VDC Only, No PoE
Unlike most modern Hikvision IP cameras, the iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH does not support PoE. The peak power draw with the heater on a cold-soaked −60 °C boot is up to 51.4 W, well above what standard 802.3af (15 W) or 802.3at (25.5 W) PoE can deliver at the camera end of a 100 m run. Hikvision standardises the camera on 12 VDC ± 10% direct, on a three-core terminal block, with reverse-polarity protection built in.
Plan for: a dedicated weatherproof 12 V power supply rated at minimum 5 A continuous with 15–20% headroom for the cold-start surge, or a 24 V → 12 V step-down regulator if you're carrying 24 V through a long cable run. For runs over 50 m, step up to 24 V at the supply and buck-convert at the camera to manage voltage drop. For freezer-aisle and alpine installs, choose an industrial DIN-rail supply mounted inside a heated control cabinet.

iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH vs iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY — Which DeepinView Bullet?
Both are 4MP DeepinView bullets, but they're built for entirely different jobs. The iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH is the cold-environment specialty — it boots and runs at −60 °C, but it doesn't do plate recognition, face capture or active deterrence, and it needs a local 12 VDC supply because it can't be PoE-powered. The iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY is the newer-generation G2 ANPR bullet — runs in standard climate ranges, supports on-camera number-plate recognition with ≥98% accuracy across 124+ countries, has the newer TPM 2.0 cyber-security baseline, and runs on standard PoE+ alongside 12 VDC / 24 VAC options.

Best For
Cold-storage facilities, freezer warehouses, abattoir chillers, alpine telecom huts, ski-resort towers, ice rinks, polar / research bases, LNG and cryogenic plants — sites where ambient routinely falls below −30 °C.
Standard outdoor Australian ANPR — boomgates, council carparks, freeway off-ramps, marina entries, freight yards — anywhere ambient stays in the −40 °C to +65 °C range and on-camera number-plate recognition matters.

Recording NVRs — Any Modern Hikvision NVR Works
The iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH streams to any modern Hikvision NVR over ONVIF Profile S/G/T and Hikvision ISAPI — there are no AcuSeek-specific or DeepinMind-specific requirements on the recorder side because this camera does not produce AcuSeek metadata. For multi-site cold-supply-chain, abattoir or alpine rollouts that also include AcuSeek-capable cameras elsewhere on the site, the VPro AcuSeek and DeepinMind NVRs are excellent platforms — they record the cold-temp camera normally and unlock natural-language search for the rest of the fleet.

Compatible Mounts & Accessories
Hikvision DS-1475ZJ-SUS — Stainless Vertical Pole Mount
316-grade stainless vertical pole bracket — the typical install partner for cold-room ceiling penetrations, alpine pole-top installs and ski-resort tower mounts where the bracket itself must survive freeze-thaw cycling.
Hikvision DS-1476ZJ-SUS — Stainless Corner Mount
316-grade stainless corner-mount bracket for situating the bullet at the corner of a chiller-room, abattoir cold-aisle or alpine mast cabinet, looking down a perimeter line or processing aisle.
Hikvision DS-1275ZJ-S-SUS — Stainless Pendant Wall Mount
316-grade stainless pendant wall mount — for hanging the bullet from a chill-room ceiling, freezer-aisle joist, alpine eaves or telecom-hut soffit. Pairs cleanly with cable-gland penetrations from above.
Dedicated 12 VDC Power Supply (Sized for Cold-Start)
Plan for a weatherproof 12 VDC supply rated at minimum 5 A continuous with 15–20% headroom for the cold-boot heater surge. We recommend industrial-grade DIN-rail supplies for refrigerated and alpine sites — contact our Australian team for the right model.
WD Purple 256 GB Surveillance microSD
WD Purple — built for 24/7 surveillance write cycles, far longer endurance than consumer microSD cards. The recommended edge-recording card for the iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH (256 GB is this camera's maximum). View WD Purple 256 GB →
Cold-Rated Outdoor Ethernet (UV / Gel-Filled)
For freezer-room and alpine sites, pair the camera with UV-stable, gel-filled Cat 6 outdoor cable — standard indoor cable jackets crack and PVC insulation goes brittle at low temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an ANPR camera?
No. The iDS-2CD8A46G0-IZ/UH is a perimeter-protection DeepinView camera — line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting with human/vehicle classification. There is no LPR engine, no vehicle-attribute capture and no plate database. For on-camera number-plate recognition, choose the iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY instead — the "/P" suffix is Hikvision's ANPR indicator.
Where would I actually use a −60 °C camera in Australia?
Far more sites than you'd expect. The most common Australian deployments are commercial cold-storage warehouses (typically held at −22 °C to −30 °C), flash-freeze tunnels in food processing (−35 °C to −40 °C), abattoir chillers and quarters-rooms, ice rinks, ski-resort chairlift top stations (often −15 °C ambient with sub-−30 °C wind chill at altitude), alpine telecom huts and mast cabinets in the Snowy Mountains and Tasmanian high country, LNG and cryogenic-gas plants, and Antarctic and sub-Antarctic research bases.
Why doesn't it support PoE?
The camera's cold-boot heater + sensor warm-up can draw up to 51.4 W, which is above what 802.3af (15 W) or even 802.3at (25.5 W) PoE can reliably deliver to the camera end of a 100 m run, especially at low temperature where cable resistance rises. Hikvision elected to drop PoE entirely on this model and standardise on 12 VDC direct so installers can spec a properly-sized cold-start supply.
What 12 VDC supply should I use?
Minimum 12 VDC ±10% at 5 A continuous, with 15–20% headroom for the cold-start surge — realistically a 12 V / 6 A or 8 A industrial DIN-rail supply. For cold-storage and alpine sites, choose an industrial-grade supply rated for the ambient where the supply itself is installed (typically inside a heated control cabinet). Reverse-polarity protection is built into the camera, but always check polarity at the terminal block before final commissioning.
Does the heater run continuously?
No. The camera's heater management is internal: the camera senses front-window and sensor temperatures and runs the heater only when needed to keep the imaging path clear. Steady-state power in a benign 0 °C ambient is much lower than the 51.4 W peak — the peak is reserved for cold-soak boot and active demist cycles. Plan supply capacity for the worst case.
Can I use it as an active-deterrence camera (strobe / speaker)?
No. There is no strobe, no built-in speaker, no built-in microphone and no two-way audio on this model. For active deterrence at a cold-environment site, install this camera as the perimeter sensor and pair it with a separate AcuSense Smart Hybrid Light camera (with strobe + speaker) at the entry door or gate.
Does it support AcuSeek natural-language search?
Not natively. AcuSeek requires camera-side metadata generation that this G0-architecture model predates. The camera records cleanly to any modern Hikvision NVR over ONVIF/ISAPI, but you don't get plain-English natural-language search across this camera's archive. AcuSeek-capable cameras elsewhere on the same NVR work normally.
Is the AI Open Platform the same as HEOP 2.0?
It's the earlier generation of Hikvision's open AI platform — supports one model slot (detection, classification, or mixed). The newer G2-generation cameras run HEOP 2.0 with more on-camera compute and multiple concurrent models. For most cold-storage and alpine deployments, one model — typically a PPE-on-personnel detector or stock-presence detector — is sufficient.
Is this NDAA Section 889 compliant?
No. Hikvision is subject to NDAA Section 889 restrictions in the United States. For NDAA-compliant cold-storage, mining or research projects (typically US federally-funded), we stock alternative brands — please contact our team for a cold-rated NDAA recommendation. For Australian commercial, council, private and most state-government projects without an NDAA contractual requirement, this camera is freely usable.
Does it record locally if the network drops?
Yes. microSD up to 256 GB with ANR (Auto Network Replenishment) — when the network link to the NVR drops, the camera continues writing locally and automatically backfills missed footage to the NVR drive once the link returns.
What's the maximum cable run from the 12 V supply?
That depends on cable gauge. As a rough rule, for the 51.4 W peak (~4.3 A at 12 V) you'll see ~3% voltage drop over 30 m of 18 AWG, ~3% over 50 m of 16 AWG, and ~3% over 80 m of 14 AWG. For runs over 50 m we recommend stepping up to 24 V at the supply and using a 24 V → 12 V buck converter at the camera, or installing the supply closer to the camera.
What's the warranty and where is it serviced?
This camera ships with a 3-year Australian Hikvision warranty, serviced back-to-base through Hikvision Australia. CCTV Guru manages the entire RA process from our Sydney office and provides Australian-based pre-sales and technical support for the life of the product.
Do you ship Australia-wide and is stock genuine?
Yes — Australian stock from authorised Hikvision Australia channels (not parallel imports). We ship Australia-wide every business day with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2 pm AEST to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin and regional addresses.

Hikvision TandemVu · Dual-Sensor PTZ · 6MP Panoramic + 4MP 42× · DarkFighter 2.0 · 300 m IR · Auto-Tracking 3.0 · NEMA 4X
Hikvision DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 — TandemVu 6MP Panoramic + 4MP 42× DarkFighter 2.0 PTZ Speed Dome with 300 m IR (NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion)
The Hikvision DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 is Hikvision's flagship TandemVu dual-sensor speed dome — a single chassis that combines a 6 MP ultra-wide panoramic bullet (190° HFOV, F1.0) with a 4 MP 42× motorised PTZ (6–252 mm, F1.3), both running on one IP address and one VMS licence. The panoramic channel holds the full situational view at all times while the PTZ channel zooms, pans and tilts to follow incidents — handing off automatically via Auto-Tracking 3.0 with linked tracking capture. DarkFighter 2.0 on the PTZ delivers 0.0003 lux colour; the panoramic delivers 0.0005 lux colour at F1.0. Long-range night surveillance is covered by a built-in 300 m IR illuminator on the PTZ plus 30 m white-light supplement on the panoramic. The -Y suffix on this Australian-stocked SKU denotes Hikvision's moderate anti-corrosion housing — NEMA 4X-rated for coastal Australian sites within roughly 2 km of the shoreline and for areas exposed to acid rain.
This is the camera Hikvision builds for the situations where a conventional PTZ "loses the room" the moment it zooms in — large transport hubs, mining haul roads, port aprons, council CBDs, perimeter walls, scenic-spot overwatch, large industrial campuses, public squares and stadium concourses. With the panoramic channel constantly recording the full 190° scene, an operator (or the AI engine) can investigate any detected event close-up via the PTZ without ever losing the wide view. The bullet channel keeps situational context — who else is in frame, where the target came from, where they're heading — while the 42× PTZ captures the face, the plate, the badge or the action close-up. Cyber-hardened with TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 Level 2), IP67/IK10 rated and powered via PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (90 W) or 36 VDC. Australian stock, 3-year Australian warranty.

See TandemVu in Action — Two Channels, One Camera
Hikvision's official TandemVu demonstration shows the panoramic-plus-PTZ workflow on-screen: the wide channel holds the full scene while the PTZ tracks and zooms in on detected targets simultaneously. The two views are streamed from a single IP address and recorded against a single VMS licence.
Why Choose a TandemVu PTZ over a Single-Sensor PTZ
A conventional PTZ has one fundamental compromise: the moment you zoom in, you lose the wide situational view. If something is happening at the other end of your site, no one is watching. TandemVu fixes this by adding a full-time 6 MP 190° panoramic channel next to the 42× PTZ — the bullet keeps recording the entire scene while the PTZ goes hunting. For high-value, high-coverage sites, this is the difference between an investigation that succeeds and one that comes up short.
6 MP Panoramic — Never Loses the Room
1/2.5" CMOS · 3680 × 1656 (6 MP) · 2.8 mm · F1.0 · 190° horizontal FOV · tilt-adjustable 12°-24°. The bullet records the full scene continuously — even while the PTZ is zoomed in on a specific target at 42×.
4 MP 42× PTZ — Long-Range Detail
1/1.8" CMOS · 2688 × 1520 (4 MP) · 6–252 mm motorised · 42× optical + 16× digital · F1.3 · DarkFighter 2.0. PTZ DORI Identify 296.6 m at full telephoto. Reads faces and plates at distances a single-sensor camera cannot reach.
Auto-Tracking 3.0 + Linked Tracking Capture
The bullet detects a human, vehicle or armed face anywhere in the 190° scene. The PTZ automatically slews to the target, locks on, and follows it across the site — capturing close-up evidence frames the whole time, while the bullet continues recording the wide view.
One IP, One Licence, One Cable
The two channels stream from a single IP address over a single Cat 6 cable. One VMS / NVR licence covers both — half the licence cost of running a separate bullet plus a separate PTZ at the same site.
300 m IR + 30 m White Light
Built-in IR illuminator on the PTZ reaches up to 300 m at full telephoto. The panoramic channel has its own 30 m white-light array for the close-up wide scene — also usable as audio-visual deterrent (flashing light + audible warning).
120 / 150 dB AWDR — Both Channels
Bullet at 120 dB, PTZ at 150 dB AWDR. Both channels handle backlit gateways, low-sun port aprons, mine-pit edges, mixed sodium / LED city lighting and stadium floodlights without burning out faces or losing detail in shadows.
Important Install Note — PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (90 W) or 36 VDC
The DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 is a high-power dual-sensor PTZ. It runs on either PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (42.5-57 V, 1.76 A — full ~90 W from the switch / injector) or a dedicated 36 VDC supply at 2.5 A. Standard 802.3at PoE+ (25.5 W) and Hi-PoE 60 W will not reliably power this camera, especially with the heater, IR ring, white-light array and PTZ motors all under load.
PoE 802.3bt Type 4 injector or switch on the camera's network run — single Cat 6 cable carries data and 90 W of power. Simplest install for most sites.
36 VDC dedicated supply at the camera — used where you're running fibre to the camera or where you prefer to separate power and data drops.
The chassis weighs ≈ 10.5 kg — heavier than a single-sensor PTZ. Use a Hikvision pendant / wall / pole mount rated for the load, and check that the substrate and bracket together can support the camera plus wind loading over a 10-year service life. Contact our Australian team for the right 90 W PoE++ injector, 36 VDC supply or heavy-duty mount for your site.
Deep-Learning AI — Both Channels Working Together
The TandemVu architecture lets the two channels collaborate. The bullet sees the wide scene and detects events; the PTZ closes in on the target and captures evidence frames. The on-camera deep-learning engine handles classification, tracking and metadata generation locally — no central AI server required for the camera-level work.
Auto-Tracking 3.0 — Bullet Sees, PTZ Follows
The panoramic detects motion and classifies the target (human, vehicle, face). The PTZ automatically slews to the target's GPS-mapped location in the wide frame, locks on, and tracks the target through the scene at zoom. Linked tracking capture uploads best-frame close-ups during the entire follow.
Perimeter Protection — On Both Channels
Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting detection — filtered by human / vehicle classification — run on the panoramic AND the PTZ independently. Catch perimeter breaches in the wide view and validate them with the PTZ close-up.
Multi-Target-Type Detection
Simultaneous detection of face (7 features), human body (14 features) and vehicle (8 features) — rich metadata indexed against your VMS for fast post-incident search.
Face Capture — 30 Simultaneous
The PTZ captures up to 30 faces simultaneously, grades face quality, and uploads the best frame plus background context. Useful at port gates, mining-camp entries, transit stations and large-venue access points.
Face Comparison — 150,000 Total
10 face libraries × 30,000 faces = 150,000 total with encrypted on-camera storage. Enterprise-scale watchlist comparison runs at the camera — even if the VMS is offline.
Object Arming — Person + Vehicle
Arm specific faces, human IDs or vehicles. When the camera detects an armed target in the scene, it triggers an alarm and switches to tracking-and-capture mode, uploading target location and context continuously.
About On-Camera ANPR (Checkpoint Scenario Only)
The DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 supports on-camera number-plate recognition via its deep-learning Road Traffic and Vehicle Detection engine — ≥98% LPR accuracy, 4 LPR region presets (including Asia-Pacific), a 10,000-record blocklist / allowlist, vehicle attribute capture (type, colour, brand, direction) and vehicle counting. Important caveat: Hikvision specifies LPR support only in a checkpoint scenario — meaning the camera is fixed on a defined approach lane where vehicles drive toward (or past at limited angle) the lens, at known speeds. Up to 120 km/h front-on capture, 80 km/h side capture. This is not the right tool for free-flow surveillance ANPR where the PTZ is also being used for general monitoring — for that workload, choose a dedicated DeepinView ANPR bullet (iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY or iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY). TandemVu's strength is simultaneous wide-scene + PTZ overwatch with auto-tracking — ANPR is a bonus, not the headline.
PTZ Kinematics — 360° Endless Pan, 300 Presets, 3D Positioning
360° Endless Pan · 240°/s Preset
360° continuous pan with preset speed up to 240°/s and configurable speed from 0.1°/s to 160°/s. Suited for site-wide patrols and rapid handoff between defined incident-response presets.
Tilt −20° to +90° · 200°/s Preset
PTZ tilt from −20° (below horizon, for tall-pole sites with ground beneath) to +90° (straight up) with preset speed to 200°/s. Panoramic channel has its own independent tilt adjustment (12°-24°) to set the wide-scene framing at install.
300 Presets · 8 Patrols · 4 Patterns
300 PTZ presets, 8 patrol routes (32 presets each) and 4 pattern scans with 10+ minutes of recorded movement each. Schedule the PTZ to walk an automated patrol while the bullet keeps recording the full scene.
3D Positioning · Click-to-Frame
Click anywhere on the panoramic live view to centre-frame and zoom the PTZ on that point in one action. The fastest way for an operator to investigate a wide-scene event at zoom.
Power-Off Memory · Preset Freezing
Power-off memory returns the camera to its previous orientation after a brown-out. Preset freezing holds the last good frame while the PTZ slews to the next preset — no swirly transition on the recording.
Built-in Gyroscope EIS
Gyroscope-driven electronic image stabilisation — critical on tall pole installs in coastal wind and on long-zoom shots where any mount vibration would otherwise blur the image and confuse the AI engine.

Recording NVRs — Plan for Two Channels per Camera
Because TandemVu cameras stream as two IP channels from one camera, plan your NVR channel count and storage to recognise that each TandemVu unit consumes two NVR licences and two streams' worth of bandwidth and disk. Any modern Hikvision NVR supporting ONVIF Profile S/G/T/M or Hikvision ISAPI is compatible. For multi-site rollouts with rich AI metadata, VPro AcuSeek and DeepinMind NVRs unlock natural-language search across the recording.
DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/VPro — 16CH · AcuSeek AI
Sixteen channels supports up to 8 TandemVu cameras (two channels each) — well-sized for a single high-coverage site with a couple of dual-sensor PTZs plus perimeter coverage. View DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/VPro →

Important: the TandemVu PTZ does not draw power from these NVRs' built-in PoE ports — it needs a separate PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (90 W) injector or a 36 VDC supply. Data goes over the Ethernet; power comes from the injector or DC supply. Browse the full Hikvision NVR range: Hikvision Network Video Recorders →.
Compatible Mounts & Accessories
Hikvision lists the following compatible accessories for the DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 chassis. All are sized for the ~10.5 kg, Ø 290 mm body. Choose the mounting style that fits the install — pendant for eave / gantry, wall for façade, pole for street-pole and vertical-column installs, junction box for clean cable termination.
Hikvision DS-2115ZJ-PSAC — Pendant Mount
Hikvision's pendant mount kit sized for the SF8C TandemVu chassis. Used where the camera hangs from a horizontal beam, eave or carport gantry — the most common heavy-PTZ install style.
Hikvision DS-4614ZJ-PAAC — Wall Mount
Heavy-duty wall mount rated for the TandemVu's mass and wind loading. Pairs with the DS-1684ZJ-P-Y junction box for clean cable termination behind the bracket.
Hikvision DS-4604ZJ-PAAC — Wall / Eave Variant
Alternative wall / eave bracket from Hikvision's accessory range — picks the right reach and load profile when the DS-4614ZJ-PAAC isn't the right geometry for the substrate.
Hikvision DS-1684ZJ-P-Y — Junction Box
Anti-corrosion junction box matched to the -Y variant chassis. Provides a sealed cable termination cavity behind the mount, keeping conduit fittings out of weather.
Pole Mounts & Corner Mounts
Hikvision pole and corner mount accessories are available for street-pole, light-pole, gate-column and corner-of-building installs. Talk to our Australian team for the right pairing — TandemVu's 10.5 kg load needs a heavier-rated bracket than a standard PTZ.
PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (90 W) Injector / Switch
Required if you're not powering the camera from a separate 36 VDC supply. Make sure the injector or switch is genuinely Type 4 (90 W) — standard PoE+ and Hi-PoE 60 W will not reliably power this camera under full load. Contact our Australian team for the right injector.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TandemVu and why is it different from a normal PTZ?
TandemVu is Hikvision's dual-sensor PTZ architecture: one chassis houses both a fixed wide-angle bullet (190° HFOV here) and a traditional zoom PTZ. The two sensors run as two independent IP channels from a single network drop. Result: the bullet keeps recording the wide scene at all times, even while the PTZ zooms in and tracks a target. A conventional PTZ loses the wide view the moment it zooms — TandemVu doesn't.
How many channels does this consume on my NVR?
Two channels per camera. Each TandemVu unit shows up as two streams (panoramic + PTZ) and consumes two NVR licences. Account for this when sizing the NVR — eight TandemVu cameras = 16 channels.
Does it really support ANPR / number-plate recognition?
Yes — but only in a checkpoint scenario. The camera must be fixed on a defined approach lane with vehicles facing the lens (or at limited side angle), at known speeds up to 120 km/h front or 80 km/h side. Accuracy is ≥98 %. This is not a free-flow ANPR camera. For free-flow ANPR on a busy road, choose a dedicated DeepinView ANPR bullet such as the iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY.
What does the "-Y" suffix mean and which variant do you stock?
The -Y suffix indicates Hikvision's moderate anti-corrosion housing — NEMA 4X-rated, designed for coastal Australian sites within ~2 km of the shoreline and areas affected by acid rain. We stock the DS-2SF8C442MXG1-ELWY/26 (with -Y) as our Australian default.
What does the "/26" suffix in the model number mean?
The "/26" denotes the specific variant of this TandemVu SF8C series — Hikvision uses the suffix to distinguish the panoramic-lens and PTZ-zoom-range combination for this SKU. The shipping product is documented in Hikvision's official datasheet revision 2025-04-28 (linked below).
Why doesn't it run on standard PoE+ or Hi-PoE?
Two sensors, two image processors, a 90 W heater / IR / white-light / wiper load and PTZ motors push total demand to around 90 W. Standard PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, 25.5 W) and Hi-PoE 60 W are not enough headroom. The camera requires PoE 802.3bt Type 4 (90 W) or a dedicated 36 VDC supply at 2.5 A.
What's the difference between the panoramic and the PTZ channel for AI?
Both channels run the deep-learning AI stack independently — perimeter protection (line crossing, intrusion, region entry / exit), multi-target detection and target classification. The advantage of running AI on the panoramic channel is that you catch events anywhere in the 190° scene at all times; the PTZ then handles close-up follow-up via Auto-Tracking 3.0 with linked tracking capture.
How does Auto-Tracking 3.0 work across the two channels?
The panoramic detects a target and classifies it (human / vehicle / armed face). The PTZ automatically slews to the target's mapped location in the 190° frame, zooms in, and tracks the target as it moves through the scene. The bullet keeps recording the wide context for the entire follow — so you get both the situational view and the close-up evidence frames simultaneously.
How far away can the PTZ identify a target?
Per EN 62676-4 criteria at full telephoto: PTZ Detect 2,965.5 m · Observe 1,176.8 m · Recognise 593.1 m · Identify 296.6 m. The panoramic channel's DORI is much shorter (Identify 7.7 m) because that channel is intended for wide situational coverage, not long-range detail.
Is this NDAA Section 889 compliant?
No. Hikvision is subject to NDAA Section 889 restrictions in the United States. For NDAA-compliant TandemVu-style projects (typically US federally-funded), we stock alternative brands — please contact our team for a recommendation. For Australian commercial, council, port-authority, private and most state-government projects without an NDAA contractual requirement, this camera is freely usable.
Will the camera record locally if the NVR drops?
Yes. microSD up to 1 TB plus ANR (Auto Network Replenishment) — when the network link to the NVR drops, the camera continues writing locally and back-fills the NVR's recording automatically once the link returns. No frames lost.
What's the warranty and where is it serviced?
This camera ships with a 3-year Australian Hikvision warranty, serviced back-to-base through Hikvision Australia. CCTV Guru manages the entire RA process from our Sydney office and provides Australian-based pre-sales and technical support for the life of the product.
Do you ship Australia-wide and is stock genuine?
Yes — Australian stock from authorised Hikvision Australia channels (not parallel imports). We ship Australia-wide every business day with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2 pm AEST to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin and regional addresses.

Hikvision DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL(Y) — 4MP 36× DarkFighter 2.0 PTZ Network Speed Dome with 300 m IR (NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion)
The Hikvision DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL(Y) is the IR-equipped flagship of Hikvision's 7A Ultra-Series PTZ line — a 4MP outdoor pan/tilt/zoom speed dome that pairs a 1/1.8" progressive-scan CMOS sensor and a 36× motorised optical zoom (6.0–216 mm · F1.2) with a built-in IR illuminator out to 300 m. DarkFighter 2.0 sensor technology, 150 dB AWDR, Smart Pan-Tilt Correction and a built-in gyroscope EIS round out the imaging chain. The -Y suffix on this Australian-stocked SKU denotes Hikvision's moderate anti-corrosion housing — NEMA 4X-rated for coastal Australian sites within roughly 2 km of the shoreline and for areas exposed to acid rain. The base DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL (no -Y) ships with no specific corrosion protection; we stock the -Y variant by default.
This is the camera Hikvision builds for completely dark long-range surveillance — rural property boundaries with no street lighting, dark mining haul roads, unlit perimeter walls, river and forest monitoring at scenic spots, unlit rail-yard aprons, scenic-spot and large-venue overwatch. The IR LED array adds 300 m of reliable illumination at full telephoto zoom, while the DarkFighter 2.0 sensor takes over at any time the scene has even modest ambient light. PTZ kinematics are tuned for incident response: 360° continuous pan at up to 550°/s (700°/s max), tilt −20° to +90° auto-flip, 300 presets, 8 patrol routes and 3D click-to-frame positioning. Powered by PoE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 (90 W class) or 36 VDC, with built-in heater and demist. Cyber-hardened with TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 Level 2). Australian stock, 3-year Australian warranty.

Why Choose the 7A IR PTZ over the 6A
Both the 6A and 7A Ultra-Series PTZs share the same 1/1.8" DarkFighter 2.0 sensor, the same 36× optical zoom, the same 150 dB AWDR and the same on-camera deep-learning AI stack. The deciding question is how dark the scene actually gets at the far end of the zoom range. The 7A's built-in 300 m IR illuminator is the difference-maker: it lights an entire perimeter wall, dark haul road or rural property boundary at full telephoto, in zero ambient light. If the scene has streetlights, dock lighting or moonlight, the 6A's DarkFighter 2.0 alone is enough. If the scene is genuinely dark, the 7A is what gets the shot.
300 m IR — Zero-Light Identification
Smart IR illumination out to 300 m at 850 nm wavelength. The IR LED array is matched to the 36× zoom optics — at telephoto, the beam tightens with the zoom to keep target illumination consistent across the working range.
36× Optical Zoom · F1.2 · 6–216 mm
The same long-zoom lens as the 6A — but here paired with the IR ring for completely dark scenes. Identify at 297.9 m tele (EN 62676-4), recognise at 595.9 m, detect to 2,979 m.
DarkFighter 2.0 + 150 dB AWDR
Same sensor and same wide-dynamic-range as the 6A — 0.0003 lux colour, 0.0001 lux monochrome, 150 dB AWDR. At dawn / dusk / mixed lighting the camera produces colour and switches to IR-aided monochrome only when needed.
550°/s Pan · 300°/s Tilt
Pan preset speed up to 550°/s (max 700°/s), tilt to 300°/s. Faster than the 6A's 300°/s — important for incident response on big sites where the camera has to swing from one preset to a diagonally-opposite one in well under a second.
Smart Pan-Tilt Correction + Gyroscope EIS
Smart Pan-Tilt Correction automatically compensates for mechanical drift over time, keeping presets accurate to the original setpoint. Combined with the built-in gyroscope EIS, the image stays steady on tall pole mounts in coastal wind.
Lighter, Smaller, IR-Equipped
At 5 kg and ⌀ 215 × 297 mm, the 7A is actually smaller and lighter than the 6A (6 kg / ⌀ 231 × 356 mm) despite adding the IR LED ring — Hikvision re-engineered the optical assembly to gain the IR without growing the camera body.
Important Install Note — PoE 802.3bt Class 8 (90 W) or 36 VDC
The 7A IR PTZ does not run on standard PoE+ (802.3at, 25.5 W) or even Hi-PoE 60 W. Total camera power draw with the IR LED ring and heater active is up to 90 W on either 36 VDC or PoE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 — the camera reserves 6.4 W for IR, 8 W for the heater and 52 W for the camera body. Standardise on one of the following:
PoE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 injector or switch on the camera's network run — provides the full 90 W via single Cat 6 cable, the simplest install.
36 VDC dedicated supply at the camera — used where you're running fibre to the camera or where you prefer to feed power separately from the data drop.
Standard PoE+ switches (15 W or 25.5 W class) will not reliably power this camera, especially when the IR ring and heater are both active in cold weather. Contact our Australian team for the right 90 W PoE++ injector or 36 VDC supply for your install.
On-Camera Deep-Learning AI
The 7A PTZ runs Hikvision's deep-learning engine on the camera itself, classifying objects and triggering only on the targets that matter. The full AI stack is identical to the 6A sibling — the 7A's value-add is purely the IR illuminator for dark scenes.
Perimeter Protection
Line crossing, region entrance, intrusion and region exiting detection — each filtered by target type (human / vehicle) to suppress nuisance alarms from rain, foliage, animals and headlight glare.
Multi-Target-Type Detection
Simultaneous detection across three target classes with rich feature extraction: face (7 features), human (14 features) and vehicle (8 features). Feeds searchable metadata into your NVR for fast post-incident review.
Face Capture — 30 Simultaneous
Detects up to 30 faces in frame, grades face quality, and uploads the best frame plus context. Useful at port gates, mining-camp entry points and large-venue access control.
Face Comparison — 150,000 Total
10 face libraries × 30,000 faces = 150,000 total with encrypted on-camera storage — enterprise-scale watchlist comparison without a separate face server.
Smart Tracking 3.0 — Auto-Follow
Locks onto detected human or vehicle targets and pans / tilts / zooms automatically to keep them framed. Person arming mode flags specific faces or human IDs that trigger alarms plus tracking when detected.
Audio & Behaviour Events
Audio exception detection, video tampering, vandal-proof alarm, scene change, unattended baggage and object removal detection — useful for unmanned dock aprons, rail-yard sidings and large-venue overwatch.
Pan / Tilt / Zoom — Faster Kinematics for Incident Response
360° Continuous Pan · 550°/s Preset
360° continuous pan with preset speed up to 550°/s (max 700°/s) — the camera moves from a preset on one side of the site to the opposite-side preset in well under a second.
Tilt −20° to +90° · Auto-Flip
Tilt range from −20° (below horizon, useful for tall-pole overviews of the ground below) to +90° with auto-flip support for tracking a target straight under the dome.
300 Presets · 8 Patrols
300 presets per camera, 8 patrol routes with up to 32 presets each. Schedule the camera to walk a perimeter route automatically every shift change.
3D Positioning · Power-Off Memory
Click any target on the live image to centre-frame and zoom in one motion. Power-off memory returns the camera to its previous orientation after a brown-out.
Smart Pan-Tilt Correction
The PTZ self-corrects mechanical drift over time, keeping presets accurate to their original setpoint without manual re-calibration.
Built-in Gyroscope EIS
The gyroscope drives electronic image stabilisation — critical for tall pole installs in coastal wind, where mount vibration would otherwise blur the image and confuse the AI engine.

DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL(Y) vs DS-2DF6A436XG1-EL(Y) — Built-in IR or Ambient-Light Only?
The 6A and 7A Ultra-Series PTZs are essentially the same camera with one decisive difference: the 7A has a built-in 300 m IR illuminator; the 6A does not. Everything else — sensor, zoom, WDR, low-light spec, deep-learning AI, face capture, face comparison, auto-tracking, IP/IK protection, cyber-security baseline — is essentially identical. The 7A is also faster (550°/s pan vs 300°/s on the 6A) and surprisingly lighter (5 kg vs 6 kg). The cost of the IR ring is more power — the 7A needs PoE 802.3bt Class 8 (90 W) vs the 6A's Hi-PoE (60 W class).

Best For
Completely dark long-range sites: rural property boundaries, dark mining haul roads, unlit power-station and substation yards, river / forest / scenic-spot overwatch, unlit perimeter walls. The 300 m IR array unlocks identification at full telephoto in zero ambient light.
Ambient-lit Australian sites: lit carparks, port aprons under dock lighting, council CBDs, school perimeters with security lighting, marinas with mast lighting. Lighter on power, still uses DarkFighter 2.0 for very low light.

PoE 802.3bt Class 8 (90 W) Injector / Switch
Required if you're not powering the camera from a separate 36 VDC supply. Make sure the injector or switch is genuinely Type 4 Class 8 (90 W) — standard PoE+ (25.5 W) and Hi-PoE (60 W) will not reliably power this camera with IR active. Contact our Australian team for the right injector.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "-Y" suffix mean and which variant do you stock?
The -Y suffix indicates Hikvision's moderate anti-corrosion housing — NEMA 4X-rated, designed for coastal Australian sites within ~2 km of the shoreline and areas affected by acid rain. We stock the DS-2DF7A436IXG-ELY (with -Y) as our Australian default. The base DS-2DF7A436IXG-EL (no -Y) has "no specific anti-corrosion protection" per the datasheet — we don't stock it.
How does the 300 m IR work — does it light the full 300 m at wide-angle?
The IR illumination range scales with the zoom. At full telephoto, the IR beam tightens and reaches up to 300 m with the smart-IR supplement adjusting intensity to avoid over-exposing close-range targets. At wide-angle, the beam spreads to cover the wider field of view at a shorter effective distance. The combination keeps target illumination consistent across the zoom range.
Why doesn't it run on standard PoE+ or Hi-PoE?
Total camera power draw with the IR LED ring and heater active is up to 90 W. Standard PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) tops out at 25.5 W, and Hi-PoE (60 W class) doesn't have the headroom for the IR ring at full output. The camera requires PoE 802.3bt Type 4 Class 8 (90 W) or a dedicated 36 VDC supply.
Should I buy the 7A or the 6A sibling?
If the scene has any reasonable ambient lighting at night (streetlights, dock lights, security floodlights, mast lighting, moonlight) the 6A's DarkFighter 2.0 sensor alone is enough — and you'll save on the 90 W power chain. Choose the 7A specifically for genuinely dark long-range sites: rural property boundaries, dark mining haul roads, unlit power-station yards, scenic-spot and river overwatch. Compare side-by-side: DS-2DF6A436XG1-EL(Y) →
Does it support number-plate recognition (ANPR)?
This is not marketed as an ANPR camera. The 7A PTZ is built for long-range surveillance, perimeter protection and auto-tracking. For on-camera number-plate recognition, choose a dedicated DeepinView ANPR bullet — for example the iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY with its purpose-built LPR engine and 10,000-record plate database.
How far away can the camera identify a target?
Per EN 62676-4 criteria at full telephoto: Detect 2,979 m · Observe 1,182 m · Recognise 596 m · Identify 297.9 m. "Identify" means the image is detailed enough to recognise a specific individual — that's a usable working distance for almost any large-site security application. Detection extends nearly 3 km.
How does Smart Pan-Tilt Correction work?
Over thousands of pan/tilt cycles, mechanical drift can shift preset positions by a few degrees from their original setpoints. Smart Pan-Tilt Correction measures and compensates for that drift automatically, keeping all presets accurate to the original setpoint without manual re-calibration — important for unmanned sites where a technician can't easily re-set presets in person.
Is this NDAA Section 889 compliant?
No. Hikvision is subject to NDAA Section 889 restrictions in the United States. For NDAA-compliant long-range PTZ projects (typically US federally-funded), we stock alternative brands — please contact our team for a recommendation. For Australian commercial, council, port-authority, private and most state-government projects without an NDAA contractual requirement, this camera is freely usable.
Will the camera record locally if the NVR drops?
Yes. microSD up to 1 TB — when the network link to the NVR drops, the camera continues writing locally and the footage is available for retrieval once the link returns.
What's the warranty and where is it serviced?
This camera ships with a 3-year Australian Hikvision warranty, serviced back-to-base through Hikvision Australia. CCTV Guru manages the entire RA process from our Sydney office and provides Australian-based pre-sales and technical support for the life of the product.
Do you ship Australia-wide and is stock genuine?
Yes — Australian stock from authorised Hikvision Australia channels (not parallel imports). We ship Australia-wide every business day with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2 pm AEST to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin and regional addresses.

Hikvision iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY — 4MP DeepinView ANPR Bullet · 4.7–118 mm Long-Range Motorised Zoom
The Hikvision iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY is Hikvision's long-range ANPR specialist — a 4MP DeepinView bullet built for sites where the camera mounts well back from the plate. It pairs a 1/2.7" progressive-scan CMOS sensor with a 4.7–118 mm motorised varifocal lens (25× optical zoom), 200 m IR illumination, DarkFighter 2.0 ultra-low-light, 150 dB AWDR and a NEMA 4X anti-corrosion housing (the -Y suffix). Because it can read a number plate at telephoto from over 100 m away, it's the right camera for multi-lane boomgates, freeway off-ramps, council carparks, toll-points, freight yards, marina entries and large industrial gates — anywhere the install geometry makes Hikvision's shorter A46G2 lens options impractical.
The G2-generation DeepinView platform runs licence plate recognition with ≥98% accuracy across 124+ countries and regions, captures full vehicle attributes (type / colour / brand / direction), supports a 50,000-record blocklist/allowlist, and includes parking-space management — up to 40 spaces in far-view mode or 4 spaces in close-view mode — and reverse-plate secondary capture for paid carparks. Native AcuSeek support means every captured plate, vehicle, person and non-motorised vehicle feeds the natural-language video-search engine on a compatible Hikvision NVR. HEOP 2.0 opens the camera to third-party deep-learning models (Caffe / PyTorch / TensorFlow). Cyber-secure with TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 Level 2). Australian stock, 3-year Australian warranty.

Why Choose the iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY for Long-Range Australian ANPR
This camera exists for one job: read the plate from a long way off. Where the shorter A46G2 lens options top out at around 40 m identification distance, the A45G2's 4.7–118 mm 25× motorised zoom can identify a number plate at 110 m at full tele and detect a vehicle at 687 m. That changes what's possible at install: the camera can be mounted high on a pole well back from the gate, well outside the boomgate vandal zone, well clear of the truck-strike line at a freight yard, and still pull a clean plate every time.
25× Motorised Zoom — Plates at 110 m
The 4.7–118 mm motorised varifocal pulls tight on a single plate from up to 110 m away at telephoto, while still backing out to 4.7 mm wide-angle for general overview. One lens, one cable run, two cameras' worth of jobs.
200 m IR Range — Sees in the Dark
Smart IR illumination out to 200 m means the camera reads plates at midnight on un-lit access roads, freeway off-ramps, freight yards and rural gates — without needing supplementary white light that washes out drivers' eyes.
50,000-Record Blocklist / Allowlist
Five times the on-camera plate database of the standard G2 ANPR bullet. Run an entire shopping-centre tenant register, council parking-permit register or council pound watchlist directly on the camera — no NVR dependency.
AcuSeek-Ready — Natural-Language Search
Pair the A45G2 with a Hikvision AcuSeek-capable NVR (V-Pro series or DeepinMind) and search every plate, vehicle, person and non-motorised vehicle using plain English — "red ute leaving at 6:14 pm Tuesday".
Parking Management — Up to 40 Spaces
Far-view mode monitors the occupancy of up to 40 parking bays; close-view mode reads plates and times occupancy of up to 4 bays. Vacancy / over-stay alerts come straight off the camera — no carpark-management server required.
Reverse-Plate Secondary Capture
Catch the rear plate as a vehicle reverses out — a critical capture for council carparks, ticketless ANPR billing and any site that needs to log both entry and exit plates from a single mount point.
AcuSeek — Type-to-Search Across Every Captured Plate
Hikvision AcuSeek NVR — AI Natural-Language Video Search Demonstration
HEOP 2.0 Open Platform — 2.5 TOPS
The HEOP 2.0 (Hikvision Embedded Open Platform) edge AI runtime lets you load custom deep-learning models built in Caffe / PyTorch / TensorFlow. 2.5 TOPS of on-camera compute, 2.2 GB smart RAM and 1.3 GB eMMC — enough headroom for a second analytic alongside the built-in ANPR.
Vehicle Attribute Capture
Beyond just the plate, the camera captures vehicle type, colour, brand and driving direction — feeding searchable metadata into HikCentral and AcuSeek for post-incident vehicle search across days or weeks of footage.
Perimeter Protection — Human/Vehicle Filtering
Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and region exiting — each rule can be restricted to humans only, vehicles only or both. Combined-event triggering lets you chain rules ("vehicle crosses fence line and dwells > 30 s").
Audio Event Detection
Smart audio events include crying detection, gunshot & explosion detection, scream detection and glass-breaking detection — useful for unmanned freight yards, late-night carparks and councils' safer-cities applications.
NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion + Built-in Heater
The -Y suffix indicates Hikvision's moderate anti-corrosion housing — NEMA 4X-rated stainless body for coastal areas within ~2 km of the shoreline and sites exposed to acid rain. Onboard heater + demist keeps the glass clear in rain, snow and overnight condensation.
TPM 2.0 + FIPS 140-2 L2 Cyber Security
Hardware-rooted Trusted Platform Module 2.0 at FIPS 140-2 Level 2, plus TLS 1.3, 802.1X authentication, watermarking, video/firmware/config encryption and complete audit logging — meets enterprise, council and government cyber baselines.

iDS-2CD7A45G2/P-IZHSY vs iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY — Which Hikvision ANPR Bullet?
Both cameras share the same DeepinView G2 ANPR engine, the same ≥98% LPR accuracy, the same 150 dB AWDR, the same H.265+ five-stream pipeline, the same IP67 / IK10 / NEMA 4X housing and the same TPM 2.0 cyber-security baseline. The deciding question is install distance and lens range: the A45G2 is the long-range, single-lens 25× zoom camera built for plates at 30–110 m; the A46G2 is the wider-coverage, larger-sensor camera built for plates at 3–40 m with a choice of three motorised lens options. The A45G2 also adds parking-management features and a much larger 50,000-record plate database that the A46G2 doesn't include.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum distance I can read a plate from with this camera?
At full telephoto (118 mm) the camera achieves an EN 62676-4 "Identify" distance of 110 m — meaning the plate is legible enough to identify a specific vehicle. "Recognise" (plate confirms a known vehicle) extends to 220 m and "Detect" (vehicle present) extends to 1,375 m. Recommended ANPR mounting is 30–110 m from the plate line.
How is this different from the iDS-2CD7A46G2/P-IZHSY?
The A45G2 is the long-range, single-lens 25× zoom model with a 1/2.7" sensor; the A46G2 is the wider-coverage, larger-sensor 1/1.8" model with a choice of 2.8–12 / 8–32 / 6–132 mm lens options. The A45G2 also adds parking management, 50,000-record blocklist (vs 10,000), HEOP 2.0 open platform, reverse-plate capture, and a richer audio-event suite. Pick the A45G2 when the camera mounts well back from the plate; pick the A46G2 when you also need a wide overview of the scene.
Does it recognise Australian plates?
Yes. Hikvision's G2 LPR engine covers 124+ countries and regions across four areas, including all Australian state and territory plate formats — NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT — plus custom plates, motorcycle plates and stacked-character plates.
What's HEOP 2.0 and why does it matter?
HEOP 2.0 is Hikvision's open edge-AI platform. It lets developers and integrators upload custom deep-learning models (Caffe / PyTorch / TensorFlow) onto the camera alongside the built-in ANPR — for example, a custom truck-type classifier, a fatigue-detection model, or a livestock-detection model at a rural gate. The camera ships with 2.5 TOPS of compute, 2.2 GB smart RAM and 1.3 GB eMMC.
What does the parking-management feature do?
In far-view mode, the camera monitors the occupancy of up to 40 parking spaces at once and pushes vacancy / over-stay / dwell-time alerts. In close-view mode, the camera reads plates and times occupancy on up to 4 spaces — useful for disabled bays, EV-charging bays, loading docks and short-stay tenant bays.
Does it need an AcuSeek NVR to use AcuSeek?
Yes — the camera is AcuSeek-ready, but the natural-language search engine itself runs on the NVR side. Pair it with a Hikvision VPro AcuSeek NVR (DS-7608/7616/7732-NXI-I*/VPro) or a DeepinMind X-series NVR (iDS-77*) to type plain-English queries like "white truck reversing at 9:14 pm Tuesday".
Is this NDAA Section 889 compliant?
No. Hikvision is subject to NDAA Section 889 restrictions in the United States. For NDAA-compliant ANPR projects (typically US federal-funded), we stock alternative brands — please contact our team for a recommendation. For Australian commercial, council, private and most state-government projects without an NDAA contractual requirement, this camera is freely usable.
How many plates can I store in the blocklist / allowlist?
Up to 50,000 combined records, stored on-camera — five times the A46G2's 10,000. Large enough for an entire shopping-centre tenant register, a council parking-permit list, a stolen-vehicle hot-list or a freight-yard authorised-fleet roster.
Does it support Wiegand output to a boomgate / access-control panel?
Yes — the camera includes a Wiegand interface (CardID 26-bit, SHA-1 26-bit, Hik 34-bit, NEWG 72-bit) plus an RS-485 port, letting you wire the camera directly into a boomgate controller, access-control panel or third-party gate-management system.
Does it record locally if the NVR goes offline?
Yes. The onboard microSD slot accepts up to 1 TB and supports ANR (Auto Network Replenishment) — when the camera reconnects to the NVR, any footage missed during the outage automatically backfills from the SD card to the NVR drive.
Does it run on standard PoE?
It needs PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2) — not standard 802.3af — because of the built-in heater, the long-range IR LEDs and the motorised zoom. Most modern Hikvision and Dahua PoE NVRs and switches support PoE+ on every port. It can also run on 12 VDC or 24 VAC if a separate supply is preferred. Max draw 24.2 W with -Y.
What's the warranty and where is it serviced?
This camera ships with a 3-year Australian Hikvision warranty, serviced back-to-base through Hikvision Australia. CCTV Guru manages the entire RA process from our Sydney office and provides Australian-based pre-sales and technical support for the life of the product.
Do you ship Australia-wide and is stock genuine?
Yes — Australian stock from authorised Hikvision Australia channels (not parallel imports). We ship Australia-wide every business day with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2 pm AEST to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin and regional addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the VIGI C240I and the VIGI C240?
The VIGI C240I uses infrared (IR) night vision, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The VIGI C240 uses full-colour night vision with spotlight LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The C240I is typically preferred for installations where the spotlight LEDs of a full-colour camera would be intrusive or unwanted, such as in residential areas or discreet commercial monitoring.
Does the VIGI C240I work without an NVR?
Yes. The C240I supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management.
What PoE standard does this camera require?
The VIGI C240I is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE, which is the standard supported by most PoE switches and NVRs. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point.
How does AI human and vehicle detection reduce false alarms?
The on-board AI chip analyses motion events in real time and classifies them as human, vehicle, or other. Only human and vehicle events trigger push notifications, so you won’t receive alerts for a cat walking past, a tree branch moving, or a change in lighting — significantly reducing alarm fatigue on busy commercial sites.
Is the IK10 rating important for my installation?
IK10 is the highest impact protection rating, meaning the camera housing can withstand a 20-joule impact — equivalent to a 5kg weight dropped from 40cm. This is important for installations in car parks, stairwells, public toilets, and any location where the camera may be subject to deliberate tampering or accidental impact.
Can I integrate the VIGI C240I with third-party NVRs?
The VIGI C240I supports ONVIF, allowing basic integration with compatible third-party NVRs and VMS platforms. Full AI features including human/vehicle classification and smart detection events are only available within the TP-Link VIGI ecosystem.
TP-Link VIGI C240 4MP Full-Colour Dome Network Camera (2.8mm)
The TP-Link VIGI C240 (2.8mm) is a 4MP full-colour dome IP camera that delivers 24-hour colour surveillance — even in complete darkness — using a large-aperture lens, high-sensitivity sensor, and built-in supplemental white light LEDs. Unlike IR cameras that switch to black-and-white at night, the C240 maintains full-colour footage around the clock, making it significantly easier to identify clothing colours, vehicle colours, and other critical details in after-hours incidents. With AI human and vehicle classification, smart detection, IK10 vandal-proof and IP67 weatherproof housing, a built-in microphone, and PoE or 12V DC power, it’s a versatile indoor/outdoor dome camera suited to retail, commercial, and residential installations across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the VIGI C240 and the VIGI C240I?
The VIGI C240 uses full-colour night vision with white light LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The VIGI C240I uses infrared (IR) LEDs, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The C240 is preferred where colour detail at night is important for identification — such as retail, car parks, and entrances. The C240I is preferred where discreet monitoring is required, as the IR LEDs are invisible to the naked eye.
Does the white light turn on automatically at night?
Yes. The VIGI C240’s white light LEDs activate automatically when the camera detects low-light conditions, providing full-colour illumination. The sensitivity threshold can be adjusted via the VIGI app or web UI. The visible white light also acts as a deterrent to potential intruders.
Is the VIGI C240 suitable for outdoor installation in Australia?
Yes. The VIGI C240 carries an IP67 weatherproof rating — fully sealed against dust ingress and heavy rain — and an IK10 vandal-proof rating for impact resistance. It is suitable for outdoor installation in all Australian weather conditions including coastal, tropical, and high-UV environments. Ensure the mounting surface and cable entry point are also appropriately sealed for outdoor use.
Can the VIGI C240 record without an NVR?
Yes. The C240 supports standalone on-camera recording to a microSD card (up to 256GB) and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management.
What is the 2.8mm lens field of view suitable for?
The 2.8mm lens provides a wide field of view — approximately 100–110 degrees horizontal — making it ideal for covering large areas at close to medium range, such as retail floors, reception areas, car park bays, and building entrances. For longer-range coverage of corridors, driveways, or perimeter fencing, the 4mm variant provides a narrower field of view with greater effective range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the dual-lens design different from a standard PTZ camera?
A standard PTZ camera uses a single lens that physically zooms in, losing the wide-angle view in the process. The C540V’s dual-lens design maintains a wide-area overview on one lens while simultaneously providing a zoomed close-up on the other — giving operators both context and detail at the same time without switching between views.
Is the 3× zoom optical or digital?
The C540V uses optical zoom, which maintains full image quality at all zoom levels. Digital zoom crops and enlarges the existing image, reducing resolution and detail. Optical zoom is significantly superior for identification purposes at distance.
Does the C540V work without an NVR?
Yes. The C540V supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card (up to 256GB, sold separately) and remote management via the VIGI app. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management.
What PoE standard does this camera require?
The VIGI C540V is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point. Check the product datasheet for exact power consumption to ensure your PoE switch or injector can supply sufficient wattage for the motorised pan/tilt mechanism.
How does auto-tracking work?
When a human or vehicle is detected within the camera’s field of view, the C540V’s motorised pan and tilt automatically follows the subject as it moves, keeping it centred in frame. This is particularly useful for perimeter monitoring where subjects may move across a wide area beyond the initial detection zone.
Is this camera suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The IP66 rating protects against dust ingress and heavy rain, making it suitable for exposed outdoor locations across all Australian climates including tropical, coastal, and arid environments.
TP-Link VIGI C340I 4MP IR Outdoor Bullet Network Camera (6mm)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a 6mm lens over a 4mm lens for outdoor surveillance?
A 6mm lens has a narrower field of view but a significantly longer effective range than a 4mm lens. If your camera is mounted more than 12–15 metres from the area you need to monitor — such as a long driveway, open car park, or perimeter fence line — a 6mm lens will provide clearer, more identifiable footage of subjects at that distance. A 4mm lens would show the same subject as smaller and less detailed at the same distance.
What is the difference between the VIGI C340I and the VIGI C340?
The VIGI C340I uses infrared (IR) night vision, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The VIGI C340 uses full-colour night vision with spotlight LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The C340I is typically preferred for long-range outdoor installations where the spotlight LEDs of a full-colour camera would not reach the subject distance effectively, or where discreet IR monitoring is preferred.
Does the VIGI C340I work without an NVR?
Yes. The C340I supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management.
What PoE standard does this camera require?
The VIGI C340I is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE, which is the standard supported by most PoE switches and NVRs. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point.
Is the 6mm lens suitable for number plate capture?
The 6mm lens is better suited to number plate capture at distance than the 2.8mm or 4mm variants due to its longer effective range and narrower field of view. For dedicated licence plate recognition (LPR) applications, a varifocal or purpose-built LPR camera is recommended. The VIGI C340I (6mm) provides good general-purpose long-range coverage with vehicle detection for identifying vehicle presence and movement.
Can I integrate the VIGI C340I with third-party NVRs?
The VIGI C340I supports ONVIF, allowing basic integration with compatible third-party NVRs and VMS platforms. Full AI features including human/vehicle classification and smart detection events are only available within the TP-Link VIGI ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the VIGI C340I suitable for outdoor use in Australia?
Yes. The C340I carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. It is designed for permanent outdoor installation and will withstand typical Australian weather conditions including rain, humidity, and dust.
Does this camera require a PoE switch?
No. The C340I supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and 12V DC power input. If you don’t have a PoE switch, you can power it using a standard 12V DC power supply. PoE is recommended for cleaner, single-cable installations.
What is the difference between the 2.8mm, 4mm, and 6mm lens variants?
The 2.8mm lens provides the widest field of view and is best suited for covering broad areas like driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The 4mm lens offers a moderate field of view for general outdoor use, while the 6mm lens provides a narrower, longer-range view suited to monitoring specific points at greater distances.
Does the C340I work with TP-Link VIGI NVRs?
Yes. The VIGI C340I is fully compatible with TP-Link VIGI NVRs and can be managed centrally via the VIGI Security Manager software or the VIGI mobile app alongside other VIGI cameras on the same network.
What smart detection features are available?
The C340I supports line crossing detection, intrusion detection, camera tampering alerts, and abandoned or missing object detection. It also uses AI to classify detected objects as humans or vehicles, reducing false notifications from non-relevant motion triggers.
Does the camera have audio?
Yes. The VIGI C340I includes a built-in microphone for audio capture. It does not include a built-in speaker, so two-way audio is not supported on this model.
How much storage does H.265+ save compared to H.264?
H.265+ can reduce storage and bandwidth consumption by up to 90% compared to standard H.264, allowing you to store significantly more footage on the same NVR hard drive without reducing video quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the VIGI C340 and the VIGI C340I?
The VIGI C340 uses full-colour night vision with spotlight LEDs, producing colour footage in complete darkness. The VIGI C340I uses infrared (IR) LEDs, producing black-and-white footage in low-light and dark conditions. The C340 is preferred where colour detail at night is important for identification — such as driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The C340I is preferred where discreet monitoring is required, as the IR LEDs are invisible to the naked eye and the camera does not emit visible light at night.
What is the difference between IP66 and IP67?
Both ratings provide full dust protection (IP6X). IP66 protects against powerful water jets from any direction — suitable for all outdoor Australian weather conditions including heavy rain. IP67 additionally protects against temporary water immersion up to 1 metre. For standard outdoor mounting on walls, eaves, and poles, IP66 is more than sufficient. The VIGI C240 dome camera carries IP67 if immersion protection is required.
Does the VIGI C340 record audio?
Yes. The VIGI C340 has a built-in microphone for one-way audio recording. Audio surveillance in Australia may require compliance with state and federal privacy legislation, including signage requirements. Consult your legal obligations before enabling audio recording in workplaces or public areas.
Can the VIGI C340 operate without an NVR?
Yes. The C340 supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app or web browser. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and smart event management.
Which lens variant should I choose — 2.8mm, 4mm, or 6mm?
The 2.8mm lens provides the widest field of view — best for covering large open areas at close to medium range such as driveways, car parks, and building entrances. The 4mm lens offers a narrower field of view with greater effective range — suited to corridors, gates, and medium-distance coverage. The 6mm lens provides the narrowest field of view and longest effective range — ideal for monitoring specific points at distance such as gates, letterboxes, or perimeter fencing from a fixed mounting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a turret and a dome camera?
A turret camera (also called an eyeball camera) has a ball-and-socket design that allows the lens to be repositioned after mounting without removing the camera body. A dome camera has a fixed lens direction under a protective dome cover. Turret cameras are generally easier to aim precisely during installation and produce less lens flare from IR reflection, making them a popular choice for indoor and covered outdoor locations.
Does the VIGI C440 work without an NVR?
Yes. The C440 supports standalone operation with local recording to a microSD card and remote management via the VIGI app. A VIGI NVR is optional but recommended for multi-camera deployments requiring centralised recording, playback, and AI event management.
Is the C440 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The VIGI C440 is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Check the product’s IP rating specification for its exact ingress protection level before installing in exposed outdoor locations subject to direct rain or dust.
What PoE standard does this camera require?
The VIGI C440 is powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE, which is the standard supported by most PoE switches and NVRs. It also accepts 12V DC power if PoE is not available at the installation point.
Can I integrate the VIGI C440 with third-party NVRs?
The VIGI C440 supports ONVIF, allowing basic integration with compatible third-party NVRs and VMS platforms. Full smart detection features, active defence, and two-way audio are only available within the TP-Link VIGI ecosystem.
