Extra Info

Smart Codec (H.265+/H.264+)

The camera uses advanced encoding to reduce video file sizes without sacrificing quality. This saves on bandwidth and storage, making it ideal for long-term recording.

Starlight Night Vision

Delivers clear color video in low-light conditions. When it's too dark, it seamlessly switches to infrared mode, providing sharp black-and-white images up to 30 meters.

Smart Detection (IVS)

Define virtual lines or zones to monitor activity. When a person or vehicle crosses a boundary, the system logs the event and can trigger alerts—great for proactive security.

Reliable Weather Protection (IP67)

With an IP67-rated metal body, the camera resists dust, rain, and harsh outdoor conditions, ensuring stable performance year-round.

Local MicroSD Backup

Supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB. Even if the network or NVR goes down, the camera continues to record locally—preventing data loss during outages.
