Product Description

Product Specifications

iDS-2SK8144IXS-D/J — 4 MP, 40× Zoom, Dual-Channel DarkFighter PTZ

The Hikvision iDS-2SK8144IXS-D/J is an 8-inch 4 MP 40× DarkFighter IR network speed dome with two channels in one housing: a 40× zoom PTZ channel (6.0 to 240 mm) and a panoramic channel with its own 2.8 to 12 mm lens. The panoramic channel watches a predefined area; when it detects a target, the PTZ channel is linked to track it and trigger the alarm, and if the target leaves the panoramic view the PTZ channel carries on tracking it over a wider area.

Both channels detect and capture people, faces and vehicles, with licence plate recognition, and IR reaches up to 500 m on the PTZ channel (50 m on the panoramic channel). Tracking can be linked to white light and a speaker warning, and EIS with a built-in gyroscope steadies the picture.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a current Hikvision model?

No. Hikvision lists the iDS-2SK8144IXS-D/J as discontinued, and we are selling it as clearance stock. The DS-2SE7C432MWG-EB/26 is a current dual-channel PTZ we list.

What does the second, panoramic channel do?

It watches a predefined area while the PTZ channel does its own job. When the panoramic channel detects a target, the PTZ channel is linked to track it and trigger the alarm, and when the target leaves the panoramic view the PTZ channel goes on tracking it.

How far does it see at night?

Hikvision quotes IR up to 500 m on the PTZ channel and up to 50 m on the panoramic channel. That is the illumination range, not the identification range.

Can it read number plates?

Hikvision lists vehicle detection and licence plate recognition, with captured pictures uploaded, on both camera channels, and vehicle arming to track predefined vehicles.

How is it powered?

Hikvision lists a 36 VDC DC input with a maximum of 90 W. Plan the supply and cable run for that load.
