Detailed high-resolution image
The 5MP sensor captures video in a 16:9 aspect ratio, delivering sharp, detailed footage. The fixed 2.8mm lens with an F1.8 aperture and multi-exposure HDR function provides stable performance even in low-light conditions without overexposing bright areas. The wide 110° horizontal angle covers large areas, reducing the total number of cameras needed on the premises. Video compression using H.264 and H.265 codecs significantly reduces network bandwidth requirements and saves storage capacity while maintaining high recording quality.
Reliable infrared night vision
Property protection continues uninterrupted even after dark, thanks to the integrated infrared system. A powerful IR LED illuminator ensures a clear black-and-white image in complete darkness with a maximum night vision range of up to 30m.
Smart features
Integrated Edge AI processes the image in real-time directly on the camera, minimising false alarms. The system reliably distinguishes people and vehicles from other moving objects and allows for intrusion detection when a virtual boundary is crossed. The Instant Search function makes it easy to retrospectively search for specific events, while tamper detection immediately alerts you to attempts to cover or damage the camera.
Audio recording and noise detection
This model is equipped with a built-in microphone, which enables clear audio recording in the monitored area. The audio track is saved along with the video using G.711 compression for efficient use of data flow. The intelligent sound detection function can instantly react to unusual noise in the vicinity and start recording or send a warning.
Flexible data storage options
Recordings can be saved directly to cloud storage or to the hard drives of a connected Synology NAS network recorder. For increased reliability, there is a MicroSDHC card slot with a capacity of up to 256GB, which serves for temporary recording in the event of a network connection failure. The camera supports various recording modes, including continuous all-day recording or event-based triggers.
Durable design and easy installation
The sturdy chassis with IP67 and IP66 ratings reliably protects the internal components from dust and water jets, allowing for trouble-free outdoor use in a temperature range of -30°C to 50°C. The turret-type design offers manual adjustment of the viewing direction and installation on a wall or ceiling. Power is conveniently supplied via Ethernet using the PoE (802.3af) standard, or via a classic 12V DC power jack.
