• Vandal ball turret housing in white aluminum die-cast construction

Technical Specifications

Image Quality & Performance: The camera operates at up to 30fps across all resolutions with selectable shutter modes (auto, manual, slow shutter up to 7.5x) to optimize image capture in varying light conditions. Minimum scene illumination reaches 0.0 lux in black and white mode and 0.05 lux in color, ensuring visibility in near-total darkness. Auto day/night switching, backlight compensation (BLC), de-fog capability, and auto white balance provide adaptive image optimization across diverse outdoor conditions.

Network & Security: Supporting IPv4 with H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression, the camera streams at rates from 32Kbps to 20Mbps with dual-stream capability at different resolutions. Security features include 802.1x authentication, HTTPS/TLS encryption, MAC filtering, and multi-user authority. Compatible with major VMS platforms including DW Spectrum IPVMS, Milestone Systems, and ExacqVision Technologies.

Environmental Durability: Operating temperature range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) and 10-90% non-condensing humidity ensure reliable performance in extreme climates. The IP67 rating and IK10 vandal resistance protect against water ingress and physical tampering. Weighing just 1.65 lbs with compact 4.92" x 4.4" dimensions, installation is straightforward while maintaining robust protection.

Intelligent Video Analytics

The camera supports optional IVA licensing for intrusion detection, line crossing, loitering, enter/exit monitoring, and tamper detection. IVA+ upgrades add logical rules, object removal alerts, tailgating detection, direction tracking, and object appearance/disappearance events—enabling proactive security management and reduced false alarms.

Applications

Ideal for outdoor perimeter security, parking lot surveillance, building entrances, warehouse monitoring, and critical infrastructure protection. The combination of robust weatherproofing, exceptional night vision, and intelligent analytics makes it suitable for 24/7 unattended surveillance in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments.

The DWC-MVA2Wi28T represents a balanced approach to outdoor surveillance, delivering genuine 2MP resolution with advanced low-light performance through 100-foot infrared range and Smart DNR processing. The True WDR 120dB capability is particularly valuable for scenes with mixed lighting—skylighting against darker facades or reflective surfaces—where standard dynamic range fails. PoE operation simplifies installation and reduces equipment costs compared to separate power lines.

The IP67/IK10 certification and aluminum construction ensure longevity in harsh conditions, while optional IVA analytics unlock intelligent detection beyond basic motion alerts. Organizations prioritizing cost-effectiveness without sacrificing image quality will find this turret platform delivers measurable value, especially when integrated with DW Spectrum IPVMS for centralized management.
