Extra Info
Smart Codec (H.265+/H.264+) – Efficient Compression Without Compromise
This camera leverages Smart H.265+ and H.264+ compression technologies to optimize video streaming and reduce storage needs by up to 70%, all while preserving critical image clarity. The codec adapts in real time to motion and scene complexity, making it perfect for 24/7 surveillance, cloud recording, or environments with limited bandwidth.
IVS (Tripwire & Intrusion Detection) – Intelligent Zone Monitoring
Integrated Intelligent Video System (IVS) features such as tripwire and intrusion detection enable the camera to actively monitor defined zones for unauthorized entry or movement. With the ability to distinguish human and vehicle activity, it helps reduce false alarms and enhances situational awareness, making it well-suited for entry points, restricted areas, and perimeter defenses.
4K Technology – Ultra HD for Detail-Rich Surveillance
With 8MP (4K) resolution, this camera captures exceptionally sharp video, enabling detailed digital zoom during live viewing or playback. Fine details such as facial features, license plates, or small objects remain visible even at a distance, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of security footage for forensic review and identification.
Smart IR – Balanced Night Vision
Equipped with Smart IR, the camera automatically adjusts infrared LED brightness based on object proximity. This prevents overexposure of nearby subjects, ensuring that faces and objects remain identifiable even at night or in total darkness. This feature is especially useful for hallways, entrances, and narrow pathways.
Durability – Built for Demanding Environments
With an IP67-rated weatherproof housing and IK10-rated impact resistance, the camera is designed to withstand dust, rain, vandalism, and other physical abuse. It performs reliably in public spaces, outdoor walls, poles, or any exposed setting where durability is critical.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) – Clarity in Mixed Lighting
The camera's True WDR technology ensures balanced exposure in scenes with extreme lighting contrasts, such as entrances, storefronts, or parking garages. It preserves detail in both bright and dark areas simultaneously, producing usable video in backlit or high-glare conditions.
Environmental Resilience – Designed for Harsh Climates
Rated to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C and in environments with high humidity, this camera is ready for deployment in a wide range of global climates, including cold winters, tropical conditions, and dry heat zones.
