Hikvision TandemVu 4MP PTZ Camera with 6MP Panoramic Channel, 400m IR and Smart Tracking

The Hikvision DS-2SF8C425MXG-ELW is a TandemVu PTZ camera with a unique dual-channel design: a 4MP PTZ module with 25x optical zoom and 400m IR, operating simultaneously alongside a fixed 6MP panoramic channel. While the PTZ tracks and zooms into targets, the panoramic channel maintains continuous wide-area situational awareness - you never lose the big picture. Compatible with Hikvision NVR and VMS platforms. Requires 24VAC or Hi-PoE power.

Why This Camera Stands Out

• Simultaneous PTZ and Panoramic Coverage - The defining TandemVu capability: while the PTZ zooms in on a specific target, the 6MP panoramic channel continues recording the full scene - no blind spots, no lost context during tracking.
• 400m IR with Smart Auto-Tracking - Deep learning auto-tracking follows moving subjects across 400m of infrared illumination - detecting and following threats across very large perimeters without operator intervention.
• 6MP Panoramic Channel - The fixed wide-angle panoramic lens provides continuous high-resolution overview footage alongside every PTZ movement, giving operators and investigators full contextual awareness.

Key Features

• 4MP PTZ module with 25x optical zoom (4.8-120mm)
• 6MP fixed panoramic channel (simultaneous operation)
• 400m infrared (IR) night vision range
• Deep learning smart auto-tracking
• 140dB Wide Dynamic Range
• 360-degree continuous pan, -15 to 90 degree tilt
• 24VAC / Hi-PoE power
• IP67 weatherproof rating

Why You'll Love It

Standard PTZ cameras have a fundamental problem: when they zoom in, you lose context. TandemVu solves it. The panoramic channel keeps recording the full scene while the PTZ does its job - giving you zoom-level detail AND wide-area awareness at the same time. For control rooms and serious perimeter security, it's a step change in situational awareness.

FAQ

Do both channels record simultaneously?
Yes. The 4MP PTZ channel and the 6MP panoramic channel record independently and simultaneously to your NVR. When reviewing footage, you have both the PTZ tracking view and the continuous panoramic overview available for any incident.

How does TandemVu differ from a standard PTZ camera?
A standard PTZ records only what the PTZ lens is pointing at - when it pans away or zooms in, you lose coverage of everything else. TandemVu's fixed panoramic channel maintains 360-degree overview recording at all times, regardless of where the PTZ is aimed. You get both views, always.

Does Hi-PoE require a special switch?
Yes. Hi-PoE (also called PoE+, 60W) requires a switch or injector supporting 802.3bt or Hikvision's proprietary Hi-PoE standard. Standard 802.3af/at PoE switches (15.4W/30W) are insufficient for this camera. View all FAQs.
