The Hikvision DS-2ST5C432MWG-EW/26(PA)(F0) Polymer 4MP 32× Anti-Corrosion TandemVu Camera is a professional panoramic and PTZ surveillance solution engineered for demanding outdoor and corrosive environments. Combining a 6MP 180° panoramic channel with a 4MP PTZ channel, 32× optical zoom, DarkFighter low-light technology, AcuSense human and vehicle classification, license plate recognition, 150m IR, 30m white light, IP67 protection, NEMA 4X and C5M anti-corrosion protection, it provides simultaneous wide-area awareness and detailed long-range surveillance.
TandemVu technology combines two complementary views within one surveillance device. The panoramic channel delivers a stitched 6MP 180° overview, while the PTZ channel can independently pan, tilt and zoom onto distant targets. This allows security operators to retain an overview of an area while investigating specific people, vehicles or events in greater detail.
Both channels use 1/2.5" Progressive Scan CMOS sensors. The panoramic channel provides up to 3680 × 1656 resolution and an approximately 190° horizontal field of view, while the PTZ channel delivers up to 2688 × 1520 resolution and uses a 5.5–176mm lens with 32× optical and 16× digital zoom.
Advanced low-light performance includes DarkFighter technology and hybrid supplementary lighting. The panoramic channel provides white-light illumination up to 30 metres, while the PTZ channel delivers infrared illumination up to 150 metres.
Deep-learning capabilities significantly extend the camera beyond conventional video monitoring. Supported functionality includes AcuSense human and vehicle classification, face capture, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, perimeter protection, people-density detection, Auto-Tracking 3.0 and smart linkage between panoramic and PTZ channels.
