Product Features
Technical Overview
This network camera utilizes a 1/2.8" CMOS image sensor that balances power efficiency with high-definition video quality. The fixed 3.3 mm lens with f/2.0 maximum aperture provides consistent focus, while exposure control ranges from 1/32000 to 1/30 second for adapting to varying lighting conditions. Video is encoded in H.264 format at up to 24 frames per second, optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining smooth playback.
Connectivity is handled through Gigabit Ethernet with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, simplifying installation by delivering both data and power over a single cable. The camera consumes a maximum of 12.95 watts and includes an RJ-45 network port for wired connectivity. Remote management capabilities allow administrators to configure and monitor the camera through network interfaces.

Deployment / Use Cases
This camera is ideal for indoor surveillance applications where high-resolution monitoring and local storage are priorities. Retail environments benefit from its detailed video capture for loss prevention and customer behavior analysis. Educational institutions and office buildings can deploy it in corridors, entryways, and common areas for security monitoring with minimal infrastructure requirements.
The PoE power support simplifies installation in locations where power outlets are limited or where clean cable management is desired. The multiple mounting options provide flexibility for corner installations in rooms with unusual layouts or ceiling mounting in warehouses and storage facilities. The indoor rating makes it suitable for climate-controlled environments across commercial and institutional sectors.
Retail Security
Monitor point-of-sale areas, entrances, and inventory storage with high-resolution video and local recording.
Office Monitoring
Secure lobbies, server rooms, and sensitive areas with discreet mini dome design and remote management capabilities.
Physical Profile
The mini dome form factor measures 3.29 inches in height and 4.72 inches in diameter, presenting a low-profile appearance suitable for discreet surveillance. Weighing approximately 15.17 ounces, the camera installs easily on various surfaces with wall, ceiling, or corner mounting options. The compact dimensions allow installation in spaces with limited clearance while maintaining the 119.7-degree field of view.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.29" (83.50 mm), 15.17 oz (430 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
