Hikvision Introduces the DF8 Series DarkFighter IR PTZ Cameras

Delivering precise broad area surveillance for demanding environments

Hikvision, a global provider in delivering high-performance professional security solutions with tremendous value, introduces the new DF8 Series of IR PTZ cameras, launching with three new models. An industry first, the DF8 PTZ Camera offers a 1/1.2-inch sensor with 4K resolution and 42x optical zoom lens to enable wide-area surveillance with crystal clear images, even in challenging lighting conditions.

“We engineered the new DF8 Series DarkFighter cameras to deliver industry-leading levels of performance in the most difficult indoor and outdoor environments,” said John Xiao, Vice President of Marketing, Hikvision USA. “Wind, rain, fog, heat, and darkness will not prevent users from capturing the detail they need to provide forensic evidence after an incident.”

A number of advanced features enable the DF8 Series to deliver outstanding performance even in extremely broad open areas. Larger sensors – including 1/1.2-inch on the 8 MP DarkFighter – provide a higher level of detail in darkness. Gyroscope image stabilization maintains a stable image when the environment has strong winds or other instability. Intelligent features include a deep learning algorithm to identify humans, vehicles, and other objects, as well as an Intelligent Rapid Focus function to position the camera rapidly and accurately on a target, helping to capture critical details by preventing zoom delays.

Users can count on long-term reliability from the DF8 Series. A built-in glass heater stabilizes the temperature of the camera, protecting it from low temperatures and fog, extending the lifetime of components, and ensuring precise imaging in harsh weather conditions.

The DF8 Series cameras are well-suited for broad area surveillance in applications such as rivers and forests, roads, railways, airports, ports, city parks and squares, scenic areas, stations, large venues, and more.
