Extra Info
Smart Detection, Less Noise
Powered by AcuSense AI deep learning algorithms, this camera can accurately distinguish between people, vehicles, and non-relevant motion such as swaying foliage, rain, or shadows. By filtering out false triggers, it minimizes nuisance alerts and ensures that security teams can focus on genuine threats—improving both operational efficiency and response times.
Always On, Any Light
Featuring Smart Hybrid Light technology, the camera intelligently switches between infrared (IR) and warm supplemental lighting depending on the situation, providing the perfect balance of discreet monitoring and clear visibility. Integrated ColorVu technology ensures full-color imaging even in low-light conditions, delivering vivid detail with illumination distances of up to 40 meters—ideal for identifying subjects and key details at night.
Flexible Zoom & Coverage
Equipped with a motorized varifocal lens ranging from 2.8 mm to 12 mm, this camera allows you to remotely adjust the zoom and field of view to suit different monitoring scenarios. Whether you need wide-area coverage or focused detail on specific points of interest, you can fine-tune the image without physically accessing the camera.
Built Tough
Designed for demanding outdoor use, the camera features IP67-rated weather sealing for protection against dust and rain, and IK10-rated impact resistance to withstand physical tampering or vandalism. This rugged build ensures reliable performance in harsh environments year-round.
