Extra Info
12MP Ultra-HD Resolution
This camera delivers exceptionally crisp imagery with 4 times the detail of 1080p. It’s perfect for wide-area surveillance where critical details matter—such as identifying faces, reading license plates, or capturing signage from a distance.
Motorized Varifocal Lens (4.1–16.4mm)
With a remote-controlled 4x optical zoom lens, you can zoom in to monitor distant targets or zoom out for a broader scene—ideal for flexible security needs without physically adjusting the camera’s position.
Face Detection + IVS
Built-in AI detects human faces and supports intelligent video system (IVS) features like tripwire and intrusion detection. These tools help security teams reduce false alarms and respond faster to real events.
People Counting & Heat Map
A powerful tool for retail, events, and public venues. People Counting gives accurate foot traffic data, while Heat Map visualizes popular areas—helping you optimize store layout, staffing, and customer flow.
Smart Scene Adaptive (SSA)
SSA uses AI to automatically adjust brightness and contrast based on lighting conditions. Whether it’s a bright courtyard or dimly lit alley, the camera dynamically tunes image settings for optimal visibility.
