User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum resolution of this Digital Watchdog camera?
The DWC-MB44LPRC1T captures 4-megapixel video at 2560x1440 resolution, which provides significantly more detail than standard 1080p cameras. This higher resolution allows for clearer identification of subjects at distance and supports digital zoom without excessive pixelation. The camera maintains this resolution at 30 frames per second for smooth motion capture.
How far does the night vision reach on this bullet camera?
Infrared illumination extends to 60 feet (18.29 meters), providing clear monochrome imaging in complete darkness. The camera automatically switches between color daytime mode and infrared-enhanced night mode based on ambient light conditions. This range makes it suitable for monitoring driveways, parking areas, and perimeter boundaries after dark.
Can this camera be used for license plate recognition?
Yes, this model is specifically designed as an LPR (License Plate Recognition) camera with optics optimized for capturing clear images of license plates at distance. The varifocal lens allows precise framing of traffic lanes, while the 4MP resolution provides the detail needed for plate reading algorithms. It's ideal for parking access control, toll collection, and traffic monitoring applications.
What power options are available for this network camera?
The camera supports both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 12V DC power input. PoE simplifies installation by delivering both data and power through a single Ethernet cable, while the 12V DC option provides flexibility for locations where PoE switches aren't available. The input voltage requirement is 12V DC, and the camera includes appropriate power regulation for stable operation.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, with an IP66 ingress protection rating, the camera is fully weatherproof and can withstand dust, rain, and direct water jets. It operates in temperatures from -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C) and handles up to 90% humidity. The durable bullet housing protects the internal components from environmental factors for reliable year-round outdoor surveillance.
What type of lens does this camera have and can it be adjusted?
The camera features a varifocal lens with manual adjustment capability, offering focal lengths from 6mm to 50mm for an 8.3x optical zoom range. This allows the field of view to be adjusted from a wide 90° angle down to a narrow 7.3° angle for distant subjects. The lens is included with the camera and has a maximum aperture of f/1.6 for excellent low-light performance.
