HIKVISION - DS-2DE2C400IWG/W - 4 MP, Wi-Fi Pan-Tilt Camera

DS-2DE2C400IWG/W — 4 MP, Wi-Fi Pan-Tilt Camera

The DS-2DE2C400IWG/W is a 4 MP Wi-Fi pan-tilt camera. It has a fixed lens rather than an optical zoom, and motors that pan 0° to 345° and tilt 0° to 80° — so you can look around from the app, but you cannot zoom in optically on something far away. Built-in IR reaches 30 m.

It connects over Wi-Fi, which makes it the practical choice where running cable is not an option — a rental, a garage, a shed, a spare room. For anything on a proper cabled system, a wired PTZ gives you far more reach.

Technical specification

Specification taken from Hikvision's published data for this model. Appearance and parameters may vary; ask us if a particular figure matters for your project.

What you'll need

• A decent Wi-Fi signal at the camera position — this is the thing that decides whether it works well
• A microSD card for local recording, or an NVR on the same network: see NVRs
• A mains socket within reach
• Compare the wired range in our Hikvision PTZ camera guide, or browse all PTZ IP cameras

Frequently asked questions

Does it zoom?

Not optically. It has a fixed lens and pans and tilts only, so it can look around but cannot magnify something in the distance. If you need to identify a face or a number plate at range, you want an optical-zoom PTZ instead.

Is Wi-Fi reliable enough for CCTV?

It is fine where the signal is strong and it saves running cable. But Wi-Fi drops out, and a camera that drops out records nothing. For anything you are relying on, use a wired camera.

Can it record without a recorder?

Yes, to a microSD card in the camera. That is convenient, but it is also the first thing an intruder takes — so record to an NVR as well if the footage matters.

How far does it see at night?

Hikvision quotes IR to 30 m.

Can I use it outside?

It is rated IP66 and specified from -30 °C to 50 °C, so yes — but it needs a mains socket and a solid Wi-Fi signal at that position, which is usually the limiting factor outdoors.
