Extra Info
Smarter Detection, Fewer False Alarms
Utilizing advanced AcuSense deep learning algorithms, this camera intelligently differentiates between people, vehicles, and non-relevant motion such as animals, blowing debris, or shifting shadows. By filtering out false triggers, it significantly reduces nuisance alerts, allowing you to concentrate on real security threats and improving overall operational efficiency.
Always Ready, Day or Night
Equipped with Smart Hybrid Light technology, the camera dynamically switches between infrared (IR) and warm supplemental light to suit changing lighting conditions. Coupled with ColorVu imaging technology, it delivers vibrant, true-to-life color video even in near-dark environments, with an illumination range of up to 40 meters—ensuring critical details remain visible around the clock.
Flexible Zoom, Easy Coverage
The motorized varifocal lens, adjustable from 2.8 mm to 12 mm, allows for precise remote control of your field of view. Whether you need wide-angle coverage for large open areas or a close-up view for critical points of interest, adjustments can be made quickly without physically handling the camera.
Built for Demanding Environments
With IK10-rated vandal resistance to withstand impacts and tampering, and IP67-rated weatherproofing to guard against dust, rain, and extreme temperatures, this camera is engineered for reliable outdoor performance in challenging environments.
