- 130 dB SureVision WDR for superior dynamic range handling
- Motorized 2.8–8 mm varifocal lens with Gyro EIS image stabilization
- 50m integrated IR illumination for low-light performance
- Smart Analytics for edge-based motion, loitering, and object detection
- H.265 and H.264 video compression with Smart Compression
- IP66/IP67/IP68/IP69K ingress protection; IK10+ impact rating
- ONVIF Profile S/T/G/M compliance
- PoE+ powered (IEEE 802.3af Class 3)
- 5-year warranty
Technical Highlights
The 3MP sensor paired with 130 dB WDR provides excellent image quality across extreme lighting conditions, outperforming 2MP alternatives in detail capture and clarity. Integrated IR extends surveillance capability into darkness without external lighting. On-board Smart Analytics processes motion and object-detection events at the edge, significantly reducing VMS server load and bandwidth consumption. H.265 compression delivers 40–50% storage savings compared to H.264, though NVR storage planning should account for the higher per-frame data rate of 3MP versus 2MP. Gyro EIS ensures stable video during minor camera vibrations. The motorized lens enables flexible field-of-view adjustment without physical repositioning.
Installation & Compatibility
Operates reliably across -40°C to +60°C, supporting deployment in temperature-controlled and outdoor-exposed indoor spaces. ONVIF Profile S/T/G/M ensures compatibility with enterprise VMS platforms. PoE+ power simplifies wiring and reduces installation complexity. Confirm your NVR supports H.265 decoding to realize full compression benefits. MicroSD local storage support enables edge backup and event logging.
Applications
Best suited for large indoor spaces where WDR is critical: corporate atriums, banking halls, retail showrooms, and office corridors. Preferred for deployments requiring edge analytics and extended monitoring range. NDAA Section 889 compliant.
