IP security camera Hikvision DS-2DE3A400BW-DE(F1)(T5) Dome

The Hikvision DS-2DE3A400BW-DE(F1)(T5) Dome is an IP security camera designed for ceiling mounting and suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Offering a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution and a wide field of view, the camera captures detailed images while maintaining a compact dome form factor. It combines a CMOS sensor with 16x digital zoom and a very low minimum illumination of 0.0005 lx to support visibility in low-light conditions. The model also incorporates smart motion detection and ColorVu technology for colorful imaging around the clock.

Advantages

This dome camera provides high-resolution 2.5K imaging that improves detail recognition compared with standard HD cameras. The low minimum illumination and ColorVu capability enable clearer color images in reduced lighting, while the 16x digital zoom helps enlarge distant subjects for closer inspection. Wired Ethernet connectivity ensures stable network performance, and the dome design supports unobtrusive ceiling mounting in a variety of environments. Built-in video motion detection reduces the need for continuous manual monitoring.

Suitable for

• Ceiling-mounted surveillance in retail and commercial spaces
• Perimeter and entrance monitoring for offices and public buildings
• Indoor and covered outdoor areas where clear low-light colour imaging is required
• Applications that require wired Ethernet connectivity and continuous recording

How to use

Mount the dome camera on a suitable ceiling surface using compatible mounting hardware and ensure the camera housing is oriented for the desired coverage area. Connect the unit to the network via Ethernet cable and configure IP settings through the network video management interface or Hikvision configuration tools. Adjust image parameters, field of view and digital zoom in the camera's web interface or client software. Enable and configure smart motion detection and ColorVu settings according to the surveillance requirements.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use a stable wired Ethernet connection and protect outdoor or semi-outdoor installations from direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather. Position the camera to avoid direct glare from strong light sources and review motion detection sensitivity to minimise false alerts in busy areas.
