Extra Info
Full-Colour Technology – See What IR Misses
Unlike standard cameras that switch to infrared (black-and-white) at night, this model uses a built-in warm LED light and a large-aperture lens to deliver full-colour video 24/7. That means you can clearly identify clothing colors, vehicle types, license plate numbers, and facial details even in pitch darkness. This is especially valuable in retail, parking lots, and other locations where precise visual information matters for investigations or real-time monitoring.
Smart Motion Detection Plus (SMD+)
Equipped with AI-powered motion recognition, the SMD+ feature filters out non-relevant movement like swaying trees, rain, insects, or pets, and only alerts when it detects a person or vehicle. This reduces false alarms and unnecessary notifications—making your surveillance system more efficient and your footage easier to review. Great for busy outdoor environments where traditional motion sensors are too sensitive.
Perimeter Protection – Smarter, More Accurate Alerts
With built-in AI algorithms, the camera enables intelligent tripwire and intrusion detection that focuses only on real threats. Set up custom zones, and the system will only trigger when a human or vehicle crosses into restricted areas—no more alerts for wind-blown debris or small animals. This enhances situational awareness and improves the speed and relevance of your response.
Smart Encoding with H.265+ Compression
To help manage storage and bandwidth without sacrificing clarity, this camera uses Smart H.265+ compression. It dynamically adapts based on motion and scene complexity, recording in high detail only when and where it matters. This can reduce storage and network load by up to 70%, making it ideal for long-term recording or sites with limited resources.
Cybersecurity Suite – Enterprise-Grade Protection
Security doesn’t stop at the footage. This model includes a robust cybersecurity toolkit with features like encrypted video transmission, secure HTTPS access, digest authentication, and IP filtering. These protocols help defend against unauthorized access, hacking attempts, and data breaches, keeping your video data and system integrity safe.
