At 20m the IR is incredibly clear for a 2MP camera, you can make out very small details like the dark colour of the hair and the slight differences in material and colour of the clothing the person is wearing, all of this is very useful for identifying potential criminals.

The other big plus of the 4A26’s IR performance is the distance it can achieve and how small details are over that distance, we did a walk test where we placed a person roughly 20m from the camera as a benchmark (most IR cameras can perform well up to 20m) and then did the test again with the person roughly 40m from the camera (10m short of the camera’s spec for IR distance).

It should be said though that this colour image is heavily pixelated and full of noise, due in part to camera’s sensor straining to pick up any light in the scene, so with such an impressive IR image, we would suggest sticking with the IR. At first glance it really is impressive with the combination of smart IR and low light darkfighter technology producing one of the clearest, most detailed IR images we’ve ever seen, the darkfighter technology is so powerful it can actually achieve a colour image in almost total darkness. Now after this poor daytime performance we arrive at the night time scenes and we get to see if this darkfighter technology is as impressive as Hikvision says. This isn’t great though, as from our years of experience the majority of end-users do not have a very good understanding of what to do when it comes to changing any settings on their cameras. What is important to point out though is that this is with the default settings out the box and these default settings are setup to achieve the best performance at night, not in daylight, but you could improve the daytime performance by manually adjusting the settings.
When the daytime scenes get darker with more shadow falling across the scene the detail rendering gets worse with some small details becoming completely unrecognisable. So first off we have to look at the 4A26’s daytime performance, which at first glance is pretty impressive with clearly rendered details and colours, but on closer inspection a lot of the daytime scenes were actually quite oversaturated making the blacks very black and everything else incredibly bright, all of which makes the images hard to look at and greatly reduces the clarity of the images especially the smaller details like facial features. This is going to be a shorter review than usual as we are just going to jump straight into talking about the camera’s performance. With all these smart features our expectations of this camera were pretty high, but with only a 2MP sensor we were still hesitant to jump the gun before seeing the camera’s performance for ourselves. The camera features adaptive smart IR LEDs for an IR range of up to 50m as well as 120dB WDR, IP67 rating, 60fps frame rate and a 128GB microSD slot.

If your firmware is too new, then I'm afraid you are out of luck because the reset code method won't work either.Welcome to our review of the Hikvision DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS 2MP darkfighter varifocal bullet, the 4A26 is part of Hikvision’s powerful darkfighter range and as the name suggests these cameras are designed to achieve excellent night time performance.
