Hikvision has introduced the new DF8 Series of IR PTZ cameras, launching with three new models. The DF8 PTZ Camera reportedly offers a 1/1.2-inch sensor with 4K resolution and 42x optical zoom lens to enable wide area surveillance with crystal clear images, even in challenging lighting conditions.

“We engineered the new DF8 Series DarkFighter cameras to deliver industry-leading levels of performance in the most difficult indoor and outdoor environments,” said John Xiao, Vice President of Marketing, Hikvision USA. “Wind, rain, fog, heat and darkness will not prevent users from capturing the detail they need to provide forensic evidence after an incident.”

The DF8 Series includes larger sensors, with 1/1.2-inch on the 8 MP DarkFighter, providing a higher level of detail in darkness. Gyroscope image stabilisation maintains a stable image when the environment has strong winds or other instability. Other features include a deep learning algorithm to identify humans, vehicles, and other objects, as well as an Intelligent Rapid Focus function to position the camera rapidly and accurately on a target, helping to capture critical details by preventing zoom delays. 

Users can count on long-term reliability from the DF8 Series. A built-in glass heater stabilises the temperature of the camera, protecting it from low temperatures and fog, extending the lifetime of components and ensuring precise imaging in harsh weather conditions.

The DF8 Series cameras are well-suited for broad area surveillance in applications such as rivers and forests, roads, railways, airports, ports, city parks and squares, scenic areas, stations, large venues, and more.
