Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera utilizes a 1/1.8" RGB CMOS sensor to capture 4-megapixel video at a maximum resolution of 2688 x 1512. The P-iris lens system provides precise aperture control from f/1.7 to f/2.1, optimizing light intake across its 13mm to 51mm focal range. Exposure settings are highly adjustable, with shutter speeds from 1/49500 second to 2 seconds, supporting both fast-motion capture and low-light scenarios.
Network connectivity is handled via Gigabit Ethernet, with support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 8-28V DC input, simplifying installation. The camera includes 4 GB of internal memory for local storage via memory card and supports a comprehensive suite of protocols for integration into existing security infrastructures. Remote management is fully enabled, allowing for centralized control and monitoring.
