• Exceptional 5 MP image quality for crystal-clear details. The camera’s 5-megapixel sensor yields precise facial and license-plate detail, enabling easier recognition and faster investigative workflows. With refined color accuracy and improved dynamic range, you’ll obtain more reliable footage across a variety of scenes, from storefront windows to dim corridors.
• Day/Night performance for 24/7 coverage. An integrated Day/Night capability with an infrared cut filter adjusts to lighting changes, preserving image clarity whether the scene is bright, shaded, or dark. This ensures consistent surveillance results around the clock, even during sunrise or sunset conditions.
• Fixed lens for consistent field of view and easy maintenance. The fixed focal length design provides stable, predictable coverage without shifting or zooming, reducing maintenance while delivering dependable performance in fixed surveillance zones such as doorways, cash wraps, or lobby areas.
• Efficient video streaming and versatile compatibility. Supports multiple streams using common codecs like H.264 and MJPEG, enabling secure, bandwidth-conscious monitoring with smooth playback on varying devices and NVRs. This versatility helps you optimize storage, retrieval speed, and remote viewing across your security ecosystem.
• Simple, scalable deployment with PoE. Power over Ethernet reduces cabling complexity and enables centralized power management, making it easier to install in a wide range of environments—whether you’re retrofitting an existing network or setting up a new installation from scratch.
