HiLook PTZ-N2404I-DE3 4MP 4X Optical Zoom DarkFighter IR PTZ Speed Dome Camera

HiLook PTZ-N2404I-DE3 4MP 4X PTZ Speed Dome — DarkFighter IR, 120dB WDR, IP66

The HiLook PTZ-N2404I-DE3 is a compact 4MP PTZ network speed dome designed for professional surveillance in commercial, industrial and large-area environments. Unlike a standard fixed CCTV camera, this PTZ camera can pan, tilt and optically zoom, allowing operators to monitor a much larger area and zoom in on important subjects without losing the detail available from the optical lens.

With 4MP resolution (2560 × 1440) and a 4× optical zoom using a 2.8–12mm lens, the camera provides a wide field of view for general monitoring while allowing closer inspection of people, vehicles and activity at greater distances. The motorised PTZ mechanism supports fast movement, up to 300 presets, and proportional zoom for smooth, controlled surveillance.

Key Features

• 4MP High-Resolution Imaging — Captures detailed video at up to 2560 × 1440 resolution.

• 4× Optical Zoom — 2.8–12mm motorised lens allows users to zoom in on distant subjects while maintaining optical image quality.

• Pan & Tilt Control — Provides flexible coverage across a wide surveillance area with up to 330°/355° pan and 90° tilt.

• DarkFighter Technology — Excellent low-light performance with colour imaging down to 0.005 lux and IR-assisted night vision.

• 20m Smart IR Night Vision — Automatically adjusts IR intensity to help prevent overexposure of nearby subjects.

• 120dB True WDR — Maintains clear images in challenging lighting conditions, including strong backlighting.

• Intelligent Detection — Supports face detection, intrusion detection, line crossing, region entrance/exit, unattended baggage and object removal detection.

• H.265+ Compression — Reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high-quality video.

• Built-in Microphone — Captures audio from the surrounding area, with pickup up to approximately 5 metres.

• IP66 Weather Protection — Designed to withstand dust and water for indoor and outdoor installations.

• IK10 Vandal Resistance — Provides additional protection against physical impact.

• PoE Support — Simplifies installation by allowing network connectivity and power through a single Ethernet cable.

• Up to 256GB MicroSD Storage — Supports onboard recording and ANR for improved recording continuity.

• 300 Presets — Quickly move the camera to predefined surveillance positions.

• Hik-Connect Compatible — Supports remote monitoring and management through compatible Hikvision/HiLook platforms.

Why Choose a 4MP PTZ Instead of an 8MP Fixed Camera?

A PTZ camera is designed for a different purpose from a conventional high-resolution fixed camera. An 8MP fixed camera provides more pixels across one fixed area, while a PTZ camera provides active coverage of a much larger area through motorised pan, tilt and optical zoom.

The 4× optical zoom on this model allows you to move from a wide overview to a much closer view of a subject. For commercial properties, car parks, warehouses, entrances and large outdoor areas, the ability to move the camera and zoom into points of interest can be more valuable than simply having a higher fixed resolution.

Camera & Lens

PTZ Performance

Smart Security

The camera supports a range of intelligent video analytics including face detection, intrusion detection, line crossing, region entrance and exit detection, unattended baggage detection and object removal detection. These features make it suitable for monitoring commercial premises where security teams need more than basic motion detection.

Network, Storage & Power

The PTZ supports PoE 802.3af as well as 12VDC power, making installation straightforward. It includes a microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card slot supporting up to 256GB, along with NAS storage and ANR support.

Network compatibility includes ONVIF, ISAPI and Hikvision SDK, allowing integration with compatible NVRs and third-party surveillance platforms.

Built for Commercial Surveillance

With IP66 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance, 120dB WDR, 20m Smart IR and 4× optical zoom, the PTZ-N2404I-DE3 is well suited to applications such as:

• Commercial buildings

• Car parks

• Warehouses

• Retail stores

• Industrial sites

• Building entrances

• Loading areas

• School and campus security

• Large outdoor areas

• Perimeter monitoring

The key advantage of this camera is coverage and control: instead of watching one fixed view, the PTZ mechanism allows you to pan across an area, tilt to different zones and optically zoom in when something requires closer inspection.
