HIKVISION - DS-2SE7C432MWG-EB/26 - 4 MP, 32× Zoom, Dual-Channel PTZ

DS-2SE7C432MWG-EB/26 — 4 MP, 32× Zoom, Dual-Channel PTZ

The DS-2SE7C432MWG-EB/26 is a dual-channel PTZ: one fixed panoramic camera that records continuously, and one 32× zoom PTZ in the same housing. That solves the problem every single-lens PTZ has — while the zoom is pointed at one thing, nothing is watching everywhere else. Here the panoramic channel keeps recording the whole scene whatever the PTZ is doing.

The PTZ channel is 4 MP with IR to 200 m and reaches 188.8 mm, which is where this one earns its place over the 25× version — a long yard, a boundary or an approach road. The panoramic channel is 3632 × 1632 across 180°. Smart linkage (panorama linkage, tracking takeover, track in turn) lets the fixed channel spot movement and hand the target to the PTZ to follow. One cable, one IP address, one licence on the recorder.

What you'll need

• An NVR with enough channels and bandwidth — a dual-channel camera uses two: see NVRs
• Hi-PoE or a 24 V AC supply rated for 60 W: see PoE switches
• A bracket rated for the housing, and a mounting that does not flex: see CCTV accessories

Frequently asked questions

What does dual-channel actually give me?

Two cameras in one housing on one cable. The fixed panoramic channel records the whole scene continuously, so you still have evidence of everything that happened while the PTZ was zoomed in elsewhere. On a single-lens PTZ, that footage simply does not exist.

When is 32× worth it over the 25× version?

When the subject is a long way off. 32× reaches 188.8 mm against 120 mm, so it holds detail further out — a boundary fence, a long yard, an approach road. Over a forecourt or a small car park it is money you will not get back, and the 25× DS-2SE7C425MWG-EB/26 is the better buy.

Will the PTZ follow a target automatically?

Yes. Hikvision lists panorama linkage, tracking takeover and track in turn for this model. In practice the panoramic channel detects the movement and the PTZ takes over and follows it.

Does the mounting matter at this zoom?

Yes, more than most people expect. At 32× a small movement at the camera becomes a large movement in the picture, so a pole that flexes in the wind will make the zoom channel unusable at full extension however good the camera is.

How far does it see at night?

Hikvision quotes IR to 200 m on the PTZ channel. That is the illumination range, not the identification range.
