Technical Specifications

Imaging & Optics: The camera features a high-performance 4MP sensor with motorized zoom capability, enabling operators to adjust viewing angles from 92° to 31° horizontally. Minimum scene illumination drops to 0.005 lux in color mode, ensuring reliable performance in near-darkness. Smart DNR™ 3D noise reduction maintains image quality across varying light conditions while the True WDR 120dB sensor handles extreme backlight scenarios.

Network & Connectivity: Dual H.264/H.265 video compression at up to 30fps across all resolutions provides efficient bandwidth management. The camera supports multi-streaming with flexible bitrate control (64Kbps-8Mbps), IPv4/IPv6 networking, and ONVIF protocol compliance for integration with any standards-compliant management system. Built-in microphone and line-level audio I/O enable two-way communication capabilities.

Durability & Environmental: Rated IP67 and IK10 vandal-resistant, this camera operates reliably from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F) in humidity up to 95% RH. The aluminum die-cast housing with weatherproof construction withstands harsh outdoor conditions, including fog with integrated de-fog technology. Maximum power consumption is only 7.5W via PoE or DC12V adapter.

Applications

The DWC-VSDG04Mi is ideal for retail perimeters, parking lot surveillance, building entrances, and industrial facility monitoring. Its advanced analytics support including LPR capability and perimeter intrusion detection make it suitable for high-security environments requiring intelligent threat detection. The flexible mounting and wide temperature range accommodate diverse outdoor installations from cold climates to hot industrial settings.

The DWC-VSDG04Mi represents solid mid-range outdoor surveillance with practical features for enterprise deployments. The motorized zoom lens and Smart IR range provide operational flexibility for coverage adjustments without camera repositioning. Dual H.264/H.265 codec support with bitrate control is valuable for bandwidth-constrained networks.

The IK10 vandal rating combined with IP67 sealing ensures longevity in high-traffic or exposed locations. Built-in analytics and privacy masking reduce backend processing load. The 5-year warranty reflects Digital Watchdog's confidence in durability.

Primary considerations: verify PoE+ power availability (standard PoE may limit zoom motor performance) and confirm compatibility with existing ONVIF-based management platforms before deployment.
