Medium-Range Super Night Vision Camera
0.001 lux @ 10 fps, 1910 m person detection, 22.5 mm F1.2 starlight colour surveillance.
System Detail
What It Is
The XHC2025C is an Ultra Low Light EO Surveillance Camera — a fixed-mount, full-HD colour night vision system built on a 0.8-inch large-format CMOS sensor with a 22.5 mm F1.2 fixed-focus optic delivering a 27.8° horizontal field of view, providing 24/7 full-colour imaging under natural starlight conditions without any auxiliary infrared illumination.
Performance
The XHC2025C achieves a minimum effective illumination of 0.001 lux at 10 fps and 0.0004 lux at 2 fps under natural starlight. Against a 1.7 m × 0.5 m human target using US NVESD methodology, the camera delivers a detection range of 1910 m, recognition range of 470 m, and identification range of 300 m. Dynamic range is 72 dB with WDR off and 84 dB to 120 dB adjustable with WDR on, and AI video analytics detection is available at ≥ 120 m extendable 3× via manual zoom.
Key Technical Features
- Fixed F1.2 aperture 22.5 mm optic delivering a 27.8° horizontal field of view, balancing detection range and area coverage for medium-range fixed surveillance installations.
- ONVIF / RTSP / PELCO protocol support over RJ45 Ethernet with integrated WiFi and optional 4G LTE, plus WebRTC remote access via optional licence.
- AI video analytics with global alert, cross-border alert, and regional alert detection modes, with analytics detection at ≥ 120 m extendable 3× via manual zoom.
- 3D noise reduction, wide dynamic range (WDR), fog penetration enhancement, and electronic image stabilisation for operation in adverse environmental conditions.
Platform Compatibility
The XHC2025C is suited for fixed mast-mount and wall-mount perimeter surveillance, border monitoring, and commercial security installations, integrating with VMS platforms via ONVIF, RTSP, and PELCO; the XHM2025M bare module variant with identical imaging performance is available for OEM integration into custom housings.
Medium-Range Starlight Colour Imaging
The XHC2025C uses a 22.5 mm F1.2 optic with a 27.8° HFOV paired with a 0.8-inch 5.8 µm CMOS sensor, delivering full-colour surveillance under natural starlight across a medium-range sector without any auxiliary illumination. The 27.8° field of view balances area coverage and detection range for single-camera medium-perimeter deployment.
Fixed-Focus Reliable Operation
The fixed-focus optical system eliminates focus adjustment and remote calibration requirements, reducing installation complexity and removing ongoing maintenance points associated with motorised focus mechanisms. This design is well suited to accessible medium-range positions where the 22.5 mm focal length provides the appropriate detection-to-coverage trade-off.
Medium-Range DRI Performance
Against a 1.7 m × 0.5 m human target using US NVESD methodology, the camera achieves detection at 1910 m, recognition at 470 m, and identification at 300 m under both day and night conditions. The XHC2025C occupies the mid-performance tier of the XHC2 series, between the wide-angle XHC2012C and the long-range ABF models.
Multi-Mode Network Integration
The camera supports ONVIF, RTSP, and PELCO protocols over RJ45 Ethernet, with integrated WiFi and optional 4G LTE for wireless deployment at remote sites. WebRTC remote server access is available via optional licence for real-time monitoring over wide-area networks.

Designed for the Field
Medium-Range Perimeter and Border Surveillance
The XHC2025C provides a balance of detection range and field-of-view coverage for medium-range perimeter and border monitoring installations requiring 24/7 starlight colour imaging.
Commercial and Facility Security
The camera suits commercial premises and industrial facilities requiring passive colour night vision over medium distances with AI-assisted detection at ≥ 120 m.
OEM and System Integration
The XHM2025M bare module variant with identical imaging performance is available for OEM integrators, with SDK and HTTP API access upon request for custom application development.
Medium-Range Perimeter Surveillance
The XHC2025C provides a balanced detection range and field of view for perimeter security installations where a 1910 m detection range and 27.8° HFOV cover a well-defined surveillance sector. The fixed F1.2 aperture 22.5 mm optic provides superior detection range over the XHC2012C while retaining a wider field of view than the ABF telephoto models. Minimum illumination of 0.001 lux at 10 fps ensures reliable full-colour imaging under natural starlight without auxiliary IR illumination, and the fixed-focus design simplifies installation and eliminates maintenance associated with motorised focus mechanisms.
- Detection Range (Person): 1910 m
- FOV Horizontal: 27.8°
- Min. Illumination: 0.001 lux @ 10 fps
- Focus: Fixed — no adjustment required
Commercial and Border Monitoring
Commercial security managers and border monitoring operators requiring a cost-effective passive colour night vision camera with extended detection range will find the XHC2025C positioned above the XHC2012C in detection reach while retaining the same compact 0.80 kg form factor and simple fixed-focus operation. AI analytics detection at ≥ 120 m with 3× manual zoom extension provides automated zone-based intrusion detection at a range relevant to commercial site layouts. ONVIF and RTSP integration supports direct connection to commercial VMS platforms, and optional 4G LTE enables wireless deployment at border posts or remote commercial sites without fixed network access.
