Extra Info
Smart Motion Detection (SMD 4.0)
Equipped with AI-powered detection, SMD 4.0 intelligently filters out non-threatening motion triggers such as pets, falling leaves, or shifting light patterns. This ensures motion alerts are limited to meaningful events involving humans or vehicles—resulting in fewer false alarms and more efficient monitoring.
AI Scene Self-Adaption (AI SSA)
This feature automatically optimizes video quality by adjusting image settings to suit changing lighting environments. Whether facing fog, heavy rain, bright sunlight, or deep shadows, the camera ensures consistently clear and balanced footage without the need for manual intervention.
Wide Motorised Zoom Range
With a 2.7–13.5mm motorised lens, the camera offers a horizontal field of view ranging from 109° (wide) to 30° (narrow). This flexibility makes it perfect for a variety of surveillance needs—from wide coverage of building exteriors to focused views down long corridors, driveways, or fenced zones.
IK10 Vandal-Resistant Housing
Designed for tough environments, the IK10-rated housing offers high impact resistance, making the camera ideal for use in public areas, schools, commercial buildings, or warehouse facilities where tampering or vandalism may occur. Its durable build ensures long-term performance and protection.
Flexible Mounting Options
The camera supports versatile installation across different environments, whether it's ceiling-mounted in an indoor hallway or wall-mounted outdoors. It’s compatible with multiple optional accessories such as the PFA137 junction box, PFB220C ceiling mount, and PFB203W wall bracket—ensuring clean cabling and optimal viewing angles in any setup.
