The Hikvision DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 TandemVu 4MP+4MP 4× PoE PTZ Network Camera combines a fixed 4MP bullet channel with a separate 4MP PTZ channel to provide simultaneous wide-area surveillance and detailed target monitoring. Featuring 4× optical zoom, 16× digital zoom, powered-by-DarkFighter technology, human and vehicle detection, 120 dB WDR, hybrid IR and white-light illumination, built-in audio, up to 512GB MicroSD storage, PoE+ and IP66 protection, the DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is designed for professional outdoor video surveillance across roads, parks, transport infrastructure, public spaces and large commercial environments.

The dual-channel TandemVu design allows the fixed bullet channel to maintain a wide overview while the PTZ channel is directed towards areas requiring closer inspection. Both channels use 1/2.8" Progressive Scan CMOS sensors and support a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1440, delivering 4MP imaging from both views.

The fixed bullet channel uses a 2.8mm lens with a wide 114.9° horizontal field of view, while the PTZ channel uses a 2.8–12mm lens with 4× optical zoom and 16× digital zoom. This provides flexibility for monitoring both broad scenes and specific targets from the same camera.

Environmental Protection

The DS-2SE3C404MWG-E/14 is specified with:

• IP66 environmental protection

• Surge protection

• Voltage transient protection

• –30°C to +50°C operating range

The manufacturer's supplied information classifies this model as having no specific anti-corrosion protection. It should therefore not be represented as an anti-corrosion model for demanding coastal, marine or chemical environments without appropriate site-specific assessment.

DORI Distances

The DORI figures provide a general indication of the camera's ability to distinguish people or objects at different distances based on defined pixel-density criteria.

DORI figures are calculated reference values based on EN 62676-4:2015 criteria and should not be interpreted as guaranteed real-world recognition or identification distances.

Practical Use Scenarios

Commercial Property Surveillance: The dual 4MP channels allow a broad fixed overview to be maintained while the PTZ channel investigates areas requiring closer attention.

Car Parks: Human and vehicle detection, wide-angle overview imaging and PTZ functionality can support monitoring of vehicle and pedestrian activity.

Roads & Transport Areas: TandemVu technology can provide an overview of a transport area while operators use the PTZ channel for more detailed observation.

Parks & Public Spaces: Wide fixed coverage combined with PTZ control can help monitor large open areas without sacrificing the overall scene when the PTZ view changes.

Warehouses & Industrial Sites: Smart events, onboard storage, PoE+ and dual-channel monitoring can support appropriately designed commercial surveillance systems.

Schools, Campuses & Venues: The combination of wide coverage, PTZ detail and human/vehicle detection can support monitoring of entrances, grounds and open areas, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
