• Auto-focus and P-iris for sharp focus across varying distances
• True WDR 120dB wide dynamic range for high-contrast environments
• IP66 weatherproof aluminum die-cast housing rated for -40°F to 122°F
• PoE powered with optional 12VDC adapter for flexible installation
• H.264, H.265, and MJPEG multi-codec streaming support
• Dual-stream capability at independent frame rates and resolutions
• Up to 30fps at all resolutions with bandwidth control

Advanced Imaging & Night Vision

This camera excels in low-light environments with 0.08 lux color sensitivity and full-color night operation. The 140-foot Smart IR range with motorized zoom ensures subjects remain illuminated across the entire focal range. Auto day/night switching seamlessly transitions between color and black/white modes, while 3D Smart DNR noise reduction maintains image clarity without sacrificing frame rate.

Intelligent Video Analytics

Built-in IVA licenses enable intrusion detection, line crossing, loitering detection, and tamper alerts. Advanced IVA+ features include logical rules, object removal detection, tailgating, direction tracking, and object appeared/disappeared events. Sixteen programmable privacy masks protect sensitive areas while maintaining perimeter coverage.

Flexible Connectivity & Storage

Standard PoE power eliminates additional wiring, while local CVBS video output supports emergency monitoring. Onboard microSD/SDHC/SDXC slot supports up to 1TB cards for local backup recording. Dual audio I/O with line-level input/output enables two-way communication. Multi-streaming H.264/H.265 compression delivers reliable network transmission from 32Kbps to 20Mbps.

Network Integration

Compatible with DW Spectrum IPVMS, ExacqVision, Genetec, and Milestone Systems platforms. Full protocol support includes RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP, DNS, DHCP, and UPnP with enterprise-grade 802.1x and TLS security. Multi-user authority and MAC filtering control access.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The DWC-MPB45WiATW is purpose-built for outdoor perimeter and wide-area monitoring where variable lighting and weather extremes demand robust performance. The motorized varifocal lens with auto-focus eliminates manual calibration while the 140-foot IR range covers expansive grounds without blind spots. True WDR 120dB handles transitional lighting (dawn/dusk) and high-contrast scenes that challenge fixed cameras.

The combination of Smart DNR 3D noise reduction and selectable shutter speeds (8 to 1/50000) ensures usable video whether capturing moving subjects or optimizing for low-light detail. P-iris control maintains proper exposure as zoom changes, critical for varifocal deployments. Built-in IVA analytics reduce false alarms through intelligent detection rules rather than simple motion triggers.

PoE power simplifies outdoor installation, while optional 12VDC support accommodates legacy infrastructure. IP66 rating and aluminum construction withstand salt spray, temperature cycling, and UV exposure in coastal or industrial environments. Five-year warranty reflects confidence in long-term reliability.
