DS-2DE2A404IWG1-E — 4 MP, 4× Zoom, IP PTZ
The DS-2DE2A404IWG1-E is a 4 MP mini IP PTZ speed dome with 4× optical zoom and IR to 20 m. At 130 mm across it is one of the smallest PTZs Hikvision make, and it runs on standard 802.3af PoE — so it drops onto an existing switch without a PoE+ upgrade.
It pans 0° to 355° and tilts 0° to 90°, holds 300 presets and supports patrol and pattern scans, so it can run a tour unattended. It is rated IP66 and IK10. This is a short-range camera: good for a forecourt, a reception or a small yard, not for identifying someone at distance.

What you'll need
Frequently asked questions
How much zoom do I need?
This model has 4× optical zoom. As a rule of thumb, 4× suits a forecourt or a small yard, 15–25× a car park, and 32× or more a long boundary. Digital zoom is not a substitute — it only enlarges pixels.
Will standard PoE power it?
Yes. This is one of the few PTZs that runs on standard 802.3af PoE at 9.2 W, so it will work on an existing switch. Most larger PTZs need PoE+ or a separate supply.
Can it follow someone automatically?
Auto-tracking is a per-model feature rather than standard across the range. Check the smart tracking row in the table above, or tell us it matters and we will confirm before you order.
Do I still need fixed cameras?
On most sites, yes. A PTZ looks in one direction at a time, so fixed cameras on the entrances give you the constant evidence while the PTZ investigates.
Is this genuine UK stock, and how fast is delivery?
Yes. Zenith Security Co. is an authorised Hikvision partner and has been operating since 2012. Orders are delivered within 1–3 working days to addresses in England, Scotland and Wales, and warranty and technical support come direct from us.
