Install Tips
- Use Hi-PoE for cleaner cabling, especially over long distances.
- Mount it on walls, ceilings, or poles using optional brackets (PFB306W, PFA150).
- Enable face database matching and alerts via Smart PSS or DSS.
- Adjust preset tours and tracking zones for seamless movement coverage.
- Make sure to allow vertical tilt clearance (camera can rotate beyond horizon).
- For dark environments, pair with WDR and Starlight modes for balanced imaging.

Extra Info
Face Recognition with Metadata Capture
This camera doesn’t just see — it understands. The built-in face recognition engine stores up to 10,000 faces and provides real-time alerts when matches are found. Combined with rich metadata (like gender, age, masks, clothing), it enhances both search accuracy and forensic review.
Auto-Tracking and Perimeter AI
Using deep learning, the camera follows people or vehicles automatically. It can distinguish between humans, animals, and other movements — minimizing false alarms and focusing on real threats.
Long-Range IR + Starlight+
The 500m IR range makes it ideal for perimeter or highway monitoring. Even better, the Starlight+ tech keeps color detail alive well past normal low-light limits, down to just 0.002 Lux.
Smart Wiper + Environmental Protection
A built-in wiper clears rain and dust, triggered by a rain sensor. With IP67 and -40°C to +70°C tolerance, it's designed to keep working in snow, heatwaves, or storms.
PFA Zoom Focus Algorithm
The camera adjusts focus dynamically as you zoom in or out, always delivering a clear and sharp image without the delay or blur that affects most PTZ cameras.
Q&A
Q: How far can the camera zoom?
A: It offers 40× optical zoom, from 5.6 mm to 223 mm — ideal for long-range tracking.
Q: Can it identify faces at night?
A: Yes, it combines face recognition with 500m IR and Starlight+ low-light capture.
Q: What is Hi-PoE and do I need it?
A: Hi-PoE provides higher power over Ethernet and is required for full function (IR + heater).
Q: Will this camera auto-track a person?
A: Yes, it supports smart tracking of human or vehicle targets based on AI.
Q: Can it store footage locally?
A: Yes, it supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB and also NAS or PC recording.
Q: Is the wiper automatic?
A: The wiper is smart-enabled and activates using a RainSensor when needed.
Q: Can it detect and alert me if someone enters a zone?
A: Absolutely — use tripwire or intrusion rules with human/vehicle detection filters.
Q: Is this camera suitable for marine or desert areas?
A: Yes, it’s IP67-rated and handles extreme heat, cold, wind, and dust.
