Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera utilizes a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor that captures 12-megapixel still images and streams Full HD 1080p video at up to 30 frames per second. The sensor supports both color and monochrome imaging, with advanced features including Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for challenging lighting conditions, Region of Interest (ROI) for bandwidth optimization, and electronic PTZ (ePTZ) for digital pan/tilt/zoom functionality.
Video compression is handled through efficient H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codecs, reducing storage requirements while maintaining image quality. The fixed 1.3mm lens with f/2.0 aperture provides a wide-angle view, while adjustable shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/25 second accommodate various lighting scenarios. Network connectivity is delivered through Gigabit Ethernet with support for IPv4/IPv6, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, and 802.1X authentication, ensuring compatibility with modern network security standards.
