Detailed Features & Benefits
2MP Full HD Imaging with a Large 1/1.2-Inch Sensor
The Hikvision DS-2DF8C260I5XG1-ELW features
a large 1/1.2-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor,
delivering Full HD surveillance footage at
1920 × 1080 resolution.
The large image sensor helps improve light capture,
supporting detailed surveillance in challenging
lighting conditions.
60× Optical Zoom for Extreme Long-Range Monitoring
The camera features a
6–360mm motorised lens with 60× optical zoom,
allowing operators to observe distant subjects
with greater optical detail.
The horizontal field of view ranges from
approximately 61.0° at the widest setting
to 1.3° at maximum telephoto.
This makes the camera suitable for monitoring
large industrial sites, transport corridors,
distant gates, perimeter fences and infrastructure.
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light Technology
Hikvision DarkFighter 2.0 technology provides
enhanced imaging performance in low-light
surveillance environments.
The camera's large sensor and advanced
image processing help capture useful
surveillance detail during dusk,
dawn and night-time operation.
Its specified minimum illumination is
0.0005 Lux in colour and 0.0001 Lux
in black and white under the manufacturer's
stated test conditions.
Up to 500 Metres Laser Night Illumination
The DS-2DF8C260I5XG1-ELW features
laser-based supplementary illumination
with a maximum specified range of 500 metres.
This supports long-range night-time surveillance
across expansive outdoor environments.
Unlike conventional short-range infrared
security cameras, the laser illumination
system is designed for demanding
long-distance monitoring.
The specified 500m range refers to
illumination distance rather than
guaranteed target identification distance.
150dB Adaptive Wide Dynamic Range
The camera supports 150dB AWDR,
helping maintain visibility in scenes
with significant differences between
bright and dark areas.
This is particularly useful for locations
affected by strong sunlight,
vehicle headlights and deep shadows.
AcuSeek Intelligent Surveillance Analytics
The camera belongs to Hikvision's
AcuSeek intelligent surveillance range,
supporting advanced video analytics
for professional security monitoring.
Intelligent detection capabilities
help security operators identify
and review relevant activity
across large monitored areas.
Available functions depend on
camera firmware, configuration
and compatible management systems.
Intelligent Face Capture
The camera supports intelligent face capture,
allowing it to detect, capture and select
facial images under suitable conditions.
This feature can assist with
security investigations and
surveillance event analysis.
Face capture is not equivalent
to automatic identity verification.
Road Traffic and Vehicle Detection
The DS-2DF8C260I5XG1-ELW supports
intelligent road traffic detection
for monitoring vehicles in
supported surveillance scenarios.
These functions can assist with
monitoring roads, transport infrastructure
and vehicle access points.
Performance depends on camera positioning,
environmental conditions and configuration.
Precision 360° PTZ Control
The camera supports continuous
360° pan movement
and a -20° to 90° tilt range
with automatic flip.
Smart Pan-Tilt Correction helps maintain
accurate camera positioning during
motorised surveillance operation.
300 Presets and Automated Patrol Functions
The camera supports up to
300 programmable presets,
eight patrol routes and four pattern scans.
Presets allow security operators to
quickly return to important monitoring
positions, while patrol routes support
routine surveillance across
multiple locations.
Automatic Wiper for Outdoor Surveillance
The DS-2DF8C260I5XG1-ELW includes
an integrated automatic wiper
designed to help maintain visibility
during wet weather.
This feature is particularly useful
for exposed outdoor installations
where rain and moisture may affect
the camera's viewing window.
IP67 Weather Protection and IK10 Impact Resistance
The camera features an
IP67-rated enclosure
for outdoor protection against
dust and water ingress under
specified test conditions.
Its IK10 impact rating provides
additional mechanical protection,
excluding the glass window.
Correct mounting, weatherproof
connections and professional installation
remain essential for reliable operation.
Efficient H.265+ Video Compression
Hikvision H.265+ compression helps
optimise storage requirements
and network bandwidth when used
with compatible recording equipment.
Actual recording capacity depends
on bitrate, frame rate, scene activity
and recording configuration.

-
Airports: Long-range surveillance of extensive outdoor areas.
-
Ports and Marine Facilities: Monitoring operational infrastructure.
-
Industrial Facilities: Surveillance of large yards and restricted areas.
