Technical Highlights

The P1385-B leverages a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor paired with Lightfinder 2.0 to deliver exceptional performance in challenging indoor lighting environments. The Forensic WDR technology ensures detail preservation in both bright and shadowed areas, critical for identifying individuals and activities in varied lighting scenarios.

With standard operation at 30fps and capability to reach 50/60fps, this camera supports smooth, detailed video suitable for motion-sensitive applications. H.264 compression minimizes bandwidth and storage demands without compromising image quality. Audio support enables integrated voice communication and sound-based detection alerts.

PoE Class 3 power delivery (average 3.2W, maximum 7.8W) simplifies installation by eliminating separate power infrastructure. The CS-mount lens interface provides flexibility to select optics matched to specific deployment requirements. Remote focus capability allows technicians to adjust lens focus post-installation without physical access to the camera.

Applications

Ideal for deployment in corporate offices, retail stores, banking facilities, warehouses, and other indoor environments where detailed surveillance and flexible system integration are required. The barebone design enables seamless integration with third-party lenses and mounts, supporting customized security solutions.

The P1385-B's barebone architecture positions it as a component-level solution for integrators and system designers seeking maximum flexibility. The combination of Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR addresses the most common indoor surveillance challenge—inconsistent and difficult lighting. PoE Class 3 and modest power consumption (3.2W average) make it suitable for installations where power budgets or cable infrastructure are constraints.

The CS-mount design enables lens optimization for specific focal lengths and apertures, a significant advantage over fixed-lens competitors. H.264 compression and audio support add value for analytical applications requiring motion and sound detection. For organizations building customized surveillance systems or requiring specific lens characteristics, the P1385-B offers professional reliability at a component-level price point.
