WHEN I pull the Darkfighter X out of its crate and install it on a heavy-duty dome camera pendant tripod, my first impressions are of its size and heft – this is a robust PTZ camera designed for serious work in external environments. Its key feature is a 2-sensor design, one sensor for colour and another monochrome. Hikvision Darkfighter X is a powerful IP66-rated PTZ camera designed specifically for strength in low light applications at close and long ranges.
