Extra Info
Crystal Clear Surveillance, Day and Night
The DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 excels in delivering high-quality imaging regardless of the lighting conditions. Its 4-megapixel resolution ensures that you capture sharp and detailed footage, crucial for evidence and identification. Powered by DarkFighter technology, this camera boasts impressive low-light performance, allowing for clear color images even when ambient light is minimal. When darkness falls completely, the intelligent infrared (IR) illuminators automatically activate, providing a clear view up to 20 meters away, ensuring continuous security around the clock.
Comprehensive Area Coverage
With its versatile pan and tilt capabilities, this PTZ dome camera offers flexible surveillance over a wide area. You can remotely control the camera's horizontal (pan) movement from 0° to 355° and vertical (tilt) movement from 0° to 90°, allowing you to easily adjust the viewing angle to focus on specific points of interest. The 4x optical zoom further enhances this flexibility, enabling you to zoom in on distant objects without compromising image clarity, a vital feature for monitoring large properties or expansive public spaces.
Advanced Image Optimization and Efficiency
The camera incorporates 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which is essential for scenes with challenging lighting, such as entrances with strong sunlight or areas with significant shadows. This technology balances the exposure across the entire image, ensuring that both bright and dark regions are clearly visible. Furthermore, support for H.265+ video compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage consumption without sacrificing video quality. This means you can store more footage for longer periods and stream high-resolution video efficiently, making the most of your network and storage resources.
