Technical Specifications

Sensor & Optics: 5MP 1/2.8" progressive scan CMOS with fixed multi-focal lens options (2.8mm, 4.0mm, 6.0mm). Horizontal field of view ranges from 51.9° to 102.4° depending on lens selection. Minimum scene illumination reaches 0.0 lux in B/W mode and 0.13 lux in color, ensuring visibility in near-total darkness.

Video Compression: H.264, H.265, and MJPEG encoding with bitrate control (32Kbps–20Mbps). Supports dual-stream at different rates and resolutions for flexible bandwidth management. Network output includes 2.1MP/1080p main stream and sub-streams down to 320×320.

Smart Video Analytics: Integrated IVA license provides intrusion detection, line crossing, loitering, counting, tamper detection, and more. IVA+ adds logical rules, object removal, tailgating, and direction tracking. Auto gain control, manual shutter (8–1/50000), and slow shutter modes (x2–x7.5) adapt to varying scenes.

Environmental Durability: Operates reliably from -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) with 10–90% humidity tolerance. Aluminum die-cast housing resists corrosion and impact in outdoor environments.

Connectivity & Management: IPv4 with DHCP, DNS, DDNS, and Bonjour support. Compatible with DW Spectrum IPVMS, Milestone Systems, and ExacqVision. Secure access via HTTPS/TLS, 802.1x authentication, and multi-user authority controls.

Applications

Ideal for parking lot surveillance, perimeter protection, building entrances, transportation hubs, and large outdoor areas requiring round-the-clock monitoring. The combination of high resolution, IR illumination, and advanced analytics makes it suitable for both loss prevention and forensic investigation in outdoor environments.

The DWC-MPV75Wi4TW balances professional-grade specifications with practical outdoor durability. The 120dB WDR and Smart DNR 3D processing handle high-contrast scenes common in outdoor surveillance—direct sunlight on pavement, shadowed building facades—without washout or noise artifacts. The multi-focal lens design is a significant advantage, allowing field reconfiguration post-installation; select 2.8mm for wide coverage or 6.0mm for focused distant monitoring without camera repositioning.

The IK10/IP67 rating and aluminum construction are essential for unattended outdoor deployment. PoE power simplifies wiring in retrofit scenarios. Local micro SD recording provides failover capability independent of network infrastructure.

Integration with established VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, ExacqVision) ensures compatibility within mixed-vendor ecosystems. The 5-year warranty reflects manufacturer confidence in longevity.
