Detailed Features & Benefits
TandemVu Panoramic and PTZ Surveillance
Hikvision TandemVu technology combines
continuous panoramic monitoring
with a powerful motorised PTZ camera.
The panoramic channel maintains a wide-area
overview while the PTZ camera can zoom
and reposition to investigate activity.
This allows security operators to maintain
situational awareness without losing the
overall scene during PTZ operation.
6MP Panoramic Imaging with 190° Coverage
The panoramic channel provides
3680 × 1656 resolution
with approximately 190° horizontal coverage.
This is ideal for monitoring large
commercial properties, loading yards,
car parks and extensive outdoor areas.
4MP PTZ Camera with 42X Optical Zoom
The separate PTZ channel delivers
2688 × 1520 resolution
through a 6–252mm motorised lens.
Its 42X optical zoom
allows operators to examine distant
subjects with optical magnification.
DarkFighter 2.0 Low-Light Imaging
Hikvision DarkFighter 2.0 technology
provides enhanced image quality
in challenging low-light conditions.
The panoramic channel supports
colour imaging with supplementary
white-light illumination, while
the PTZ channel provides powerful
infrared surveillance.
300m Infrared Night Vision
The PTZ channel incorporates infrared
illumination with a manufacturer-specified
range of up to 300 metres.
Actual identification performance
depends on zoom settings, subject
size, environmental conditions
and installation configuration.
30m Panoramic White-Light Illumination
The panoramic channel supports
white-light illumination up to
30 metres.
This assists colour surveillance
when ambient lighting is insufficient.
Auto-Tracking 3.0
The camera supports
Auto-Tracking 3.0
for intelligent automatic tracking
of compatible moving targets.
Tracking effectiveness depends on
scene conditions, target visibility
and configuration.
Deep-Learning Perimeter Protection
Intelligent perimeter protection
supports line crossing, intrusion,
region entrance and region exiting
detection.
These functions help identify
relevant security events
in monitored areas.
Multi-Target Detection
The camera supports simultaneous
detection and capture of
human bodies, faces and vehicles.
This can assist supported security
monitoring and investigation workflows.
Advanced Face Capture and Comparison
The camera supports intelligent
face capture with detection of
up to 30 faces simultaneously.
Face comparison functions are
available for compatible professional
security applications.
Vehicle Analytics and Licence Plate Recognition
The camera supports vehicle
attribute detection and licence
plate recognition in compatible
checkpoint scenarios.
Performance depends on installation
geometry, vehicle speed, lighting
and configuration.
360° Continuous PTZ Pan
The PTZ mechanism supports
360° continuous horizontal rotation
and a tilt range from
-20° to 90°.
This allows flexible monitoring
of extensive surveillance areas.
300 Presets and Automated Patrols
Installers can configure up to
300 preset positions,
eight patrol routes and four
programmable pattern scans.
These features support automated
monitoring of important locations.
Built-In Wiper and Demisting
The ELWY variant incorporates a
built-in wiper
and demisting functionality.
These features help maintain
visibility in challenging outdoor
weather conditions.
Gyroscope-Assisted Image Stabilisation
Electronic image stabilisation
uses gyroscope-assisted processing
to help reduce unwanted image
movement caused by vibration.
Optical Defog
Optical defog technology helps
improve image visibility in
suitable hazy conditions.
White Flashing Light and Audible Warning
The camera incorporates a
white flashing warning light
and built-in speaker.
These features can be activated
through supported security events
to provide visual and audible warnings.
IP67 Weather Protection
The camera features an
IP67-rated enclosure
for outdoor dust and water resistance.
IK10 Impact Resistance
The camera provides
IK10 impact resistance,
excluding the glass viewing window.
NEMA 4X Anti-Corrosion Protection
The ELWY variant features
NEMA 4X anti-corrosion protection
for improved durability in
challenging outdoor environments.
Installers should assess environmental
conditions before deployment in
severe coastal or chemical environments.
