Hikvision DS-2DE5425IWG-4G: 4MP 25x 4G PTZ
By Namra Shah · Cabling For U · Auckland · Updated October 2026
A 4MP 25x zoom PTZ built for solar and cellular sites. It has very low sleep power, 256 GB of storage built in, and 4G, so it works where there is no fibre or mains.
Short answer: A simpler, single-lens alternative to the TandemVu for remote sites where one controllable zoom camera is enough.

Where it fits, and where it does not
Works best for
- Remote yards and building sites
- Farms and rural gates
- Temporary sites with solar power
Choose something else if
- Wanting a constant wide view while zooming: choose TandemVu
- Sites with PoE available, where a mains PTZ is simpler
Installing it properly
Needs a 12 V supply or Hikvision's solar kit (-K/4G version), a solid bracket and a 4G signal check. We confirm the IR range for the datasheet revision being supplied.
Every camera we fit is cabled to AS/NZS 3080, tested, labelled and set up on your recorder and the Hik-Connect app, with a 12-month workmanship warranty. Your recorder and app passwords stay with you.

Frequently asked
Does it need power from the building?
No. It runs on 12 V and suits Hikvision's solar kit.
Where is footage stored?
On 256 GB of built-in memory plus a microSD card.
PTZ or TandemVu?
A PTZ shows only where it is pointed. TandemVu adds a fixed wide view so nothing is missed while it zooms.
