Technical Specifications

Optics & Resolution: The camera captures 1945 H × 1109 V pixels with an 86° horizontal and 46° vertical field of view, making it suitable for wide outdoor coverage. Its fixed lens design ensures consistent performance without mechanical drift.

Night Vision & Low-Light Performance: Equipped with Smart IR technology providing up to 100 feet of illumination range, the camera excels in complete darkness. Slow shutter mode extends light sensitivity up to 7.5x, while 3D Smart DNR reduces noise in low-light conditions. The 0.09 lux color sensitivity enables surveillance in near-total darkness.

Video Processing & Streaming: Supports H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression with dual-stream capability at different rates and resolutions. Video bitrate ranges from 32Kbps to 20Mbps with multi-streaming CBR/VBR control. Frame rates reach up to 20fps at maximum resolution.

Network & Security: IPv4 connectivity with DHCP, DNS, and DDNS support. Advanced security includes 802.1x authentication, HTTPS/TLS encryption, MAC filtering, and multi-user authority. Supports multiple protocols including RTSP, RTP, HTTP, and Genetec Protocol for broad integration compatibility.

Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range of -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C). IP67 rating protects against dust and water ingress. Power consumption: maximum 6.0W via PoE (DC12V adapter alternative: 4.5W).

Intelligent Features: Motion detection, configurable alarm outputs, email notifications, and SD card recording options. IVA license supports intrusion, line crossing, counting, loitering, enter/exit, and tamper detection. IVA+ adds logical rules, object removal, tailgating, direction, and more.

Applications

Ideal for perimeter security, parking lots, building entrances, industrial facilities, and outdoor asset monitoring. The combination of low-light performance, weather resistance, and intelligent analytics makes it suitable for retail, municipal, transportation, and critical infrastructure deployments.

The DWC-MPB72Wi4T balances affordability with functionality for mid-range outdoor security needs. Its true WDR 120dB handling and Smart DNR processing deliver usable video across varying lighting conditions without overselling performance. The 100-foot IR range is practical for typical perimeter applications, though not extreme-distance capable.

PoE power simplifies deployment, while dual-stream and multiple codec support ensure broad VMS compatibility. The 5-year warranty and DW Spectrum software integration provide long-term value for Digital Watchdog ecosystem users. Best suited for organizations prioritizing reliability and ease of integration over cutting-edge resolution.
