It’s designed for pendant mounting and while it can look above the horizon, it’s not able to look directly upwards as some base-mount PTZ units we’ve tested can.įeatures of Darkfighter X include 1080p 2MP resolution, day/night function with IR cut filter, ½.8-inch dual optical and IR CMOS sensors, integrated 200m IR array, 25x varifocal zoom lens with F1.5-F3.5 4.8-120mm range with autofocus, 16x digital zoom, -20 degrees to 90 degrees of tilt (Auto Flip), 120dB wide dynamic range, 1080p resolution, 200m of IR performance, IP66 rating, optical de-fog, smart detection functions and H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG compression options.

WHEN I pull the Darkfighter X out of its crate and install it on a heavy-duty dome camera pendant tripod, my first impressions are of its size and heft – this is a robust PTZ camera designed for serious work in external environments. Its key feature is a 2-sensor design, one sensor for colour and another monochrome. Once a separate series, this t echnology is now included as standard in the 5 line series of Darkfighter cameras and upwards mentioned earlier (the new Hik website lets you filter by 140dB).Hikvision Darkfighter X is a powerful IP66-rated PTZ camera designed specifically for strength in low light applications at close and long ranges. “The LightFighter series delivers crystal-clear images with true color reproduction in brightly lit or high contrast environments” – thanks to ultra-high 140 dB WDR technology (so here you have very bright and very dark areas it works well). A limited choice of high end cameras only. The king of the low light cameras – a premium offering featuring dual image sensors. (Powered by series includes the DS-2CD2T45FWD-I) ColourVu (4mp in Colour until: 0.0014 Lux then White light assistance)Īn extremely exciting new release providing the bigger sensor of the DarkFighter series and an a wide open lens – a range dedicated to being superb in low light and remaining in colour at all times while at an affordable cost – however a white light will be visible when it’s really dark rather than a more subtle Infra-Red glow, which may be a deal breaker for some. The ‘budget’ DarkFighter series – bigger lens + algorithm but not the bigger sensor so only a slight improvement over a non-dark fighter camera. ‘Powered’ by DarkFighter (4mp in Colour until: 0.008 Lux then Infra Red )

It’s all about being better in low light, a bigger image sensor and lens as well as software algorithm such as the DS-2CD5A46G1-IZ – these also have a full selection of connectivity options for professional installations. (Our existing blog post regarding 4k cameras can make for an interesting initial read: ) DarkFighter – Ultra 5 series (4mp in Colour until: 0.002 Lux then Infra Red) Hikvision are always pushing the boundary to bring better performing cameras to the market at an impressive price point although the array of technologies can be confusing, so we have tried to explain things in as simple a manner as possible.
