The Hikvision TandemVu PTZ camera combines Colorvu and Powered by DarkFighter technologies to reportedly provide efficient and high-quality images both in lowlight and daylight applications. This compact dual camera solution is connected through 1 RJ45 connection and can utilise 1 IP address for applications where system expansion is limited. The unit is POE compatible as well as providing a separate 24v power connection for local supply, and with two local alarm connections for third party devices it is listed as a great compact solution for any application.
Set up
The two cameras are easily set up as they are both tied to the one IP address, this can then be split into separate channels for viewing both cameras on separate input on your local recorder or VMS. Once connected to the camera, through the web browser, you are able to fully customise the camera channels to meet your desired preferences with the user friendly interface on the camera browser.
Each menu will provide you with a different configuration and options, with a simple dropdown menu to switch between camera 1 – PTZ, and camera 2 – Fixed lens. There is also the availability on the web browser of accessing guides and help menus specific to the function you are trying to configure, these are very well detailed and simple to follow, allowing each user to confidently navigate each option and configuration type.
