Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the MIC-7604-Z12GR is a 1" Exmor R CMOS image sensor that captures 8-megapixel stills and 4K video at 30 frames per second. The sensor's back-illuminated structure enhances low-light sensitivity, supporting color and monochrome imaging across the camera's full operational range. The integrated 12x optical zoom varifocal lens offers focal lengths from 9.3 mm to 111.6 mm, with manual aperture adjustment from f/2.8 to f/4.5 for precise light control.
Network connectivity is handled by a Gigabit Ethernet port with support for IPv4, IPv6, and a comprehensive suite of protocols including RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, and ONVIF for seamless integration into existing security ecosystems. Local storage is available via memory card, while the camera's video analytics capabilities—including defog, noise reduction, and privacy masking—enable intelligent event detection without relying solely on external recorders.
Key Product Advantages
Beyond its imaging and durability strengths, the MIC-7604-Z12GR offers practical advantages for system integrators and end-users. The dual power input (24 V AC and PoE) reduces cabling complexity and provides backup options, while the comprehensive protocol support—including ONVIF, SOAP, and CHAP—ensures compatibility with most VMS platforms. Video content analytics onboard reduce bandwidth and storage demands by processing events locally, and features like privacy masking allow operators to obscure sensitive areas without degrading overall image quality.

Deployment / Use Cases
This camera excels in applications demanding high-resolution monitoring over large or complex outdoor areas. Its PTZ capabilities, combined with the varifocal lens, enable operators to adjust the field of view remotely, making it suitable for parking lots, campuses, and ports where situational awareness must adapt to changing conditions. The support for H.265 compression reduces bandwidth usage by up to 50% compared to H.264, allowing more cameras on a network without upgrading infrastructure.
For integrators, the camera's Gigabit Ethernet and PoE support simplify installation by carrying both data and power over a single cable, reducing material and labor costs. The memory card slot provides a fallback recording option if network connectivity is interrupted, ensuring continuous evidence capture during outages.
Perimeter Security
Ideal for monitoring fences, gates, and building exteriors where long-range zoom and weather resistance are essential. The 12x optical zoom allows operators to zoom in on distant objects without losing resolution, while the wide field of view covers broad areas efficiently.
Critical Infrastructure
Suited for power plants, transportation hubs, and industrial sites that require reliable surveillance in extreme temperatures and conditions. The camera's TAA compliance makes it eligible for U.S. federal and state projects, and its robust construction withstands vibration, shock, and corrosive elements.
Physical Profile
The MIC-7604-Z12GR measures 15.76" (400.30 mm) in height, 11.34" (288.04 mm) in width, and 8.29" (210.57 mm) in depth, with a weight of approximately 19.18 lb (8700 g). Its substantial build accommodates the large sensor, zoom mechanism, and protective housing, while the gray finish blends with industrial and architectural environments. The camera includes mounting hardware for pole, wall, or ceiling installation, and its design facilitates maintenance access to the lens and connections without disassembling the entire unit.
