The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is a TandemVu dual-channel PTZ network camera designed for commercial sites that need wide-area awareness and close-up detail from a single device. It combines a fixed 4MP bullet channel with a 4MP PTZ channel, allowing operators to monitor a broad scene while using optical zoom to inspect activity when needed.
The bullet channel provides wide coverage with a 2.8 mm lens, while the PTZ channel supports 4× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom for flexible visual verification. This makes the camera suitable for entrances, parking areas, loading zones, warehouse exteriors, school walkways, and other business environments where both overview monitoring and targeted detail matter.
Human and vehicle detection helps security teams focus on relevant activity and reduce unnecessary alerts caused by general motion. Powered-by-DarkFighter low-light performance, 120 dB WDR, HLC, BLC, 3D DNR, defog, regional exposure, and regional focus help improve image usability in challenging outdoor lighting conditions.
With built-in two-way audio, onboard microSD storage, ONVIF compatibility, 12V DC power support, PoE+ deployment, and IP66 outdoor protection, the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is built for professional commercial surveillance projects requiring flexible coverage and intelligent event awareness.
