Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera captures 4-megapixel video at a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440, utilizing H.264 and MJPEG codecs for efficient compression and dual-stream capability. The 1/3" CMOS sensor paired with a fixed 6 mm lens offers a 51° field of view, balanced for general monitoring applications. Advanced imaging features include True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for challenging lighting, 3D Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) to minimize grain in low light, and a mechanical IR cut filter for true day/night operation.
Network connectivity is handled via Fast Ethernet with support for ONVIF Profile S, TCP/IP, RTSP, and SNMP protocols, ensuring compatibility with most VMS platforms. The camera includes comprehensive video management features such as motion detection, privacy masking, alarm triggering, and programmable privacy zones. Environmental resilience is confirmed with an operating temperature range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) and up to 90% humidity tolerance.
Key Product Advantages
The MEGApix CaaS edge camera eliminates server dependencies by functioning as a standalone recording unit with optional built-in storage, supporting up to 60 days of retained video. Its Smart IR™ technology synchronizes infrared illumination with the camera's sync to prevent overexposure, maintaining consistent image quality up to 50 feet in total darkness. The vandal-resistant dome design deters tampering while the IP66 rating guarantees reliable performance in wet or dusty environments.
Out-of-the-Box Operation
Pre-installed DW Spectrum® IPVMS enables immediate use without complex configuration, reducing setup time and technical overhead.
- Automatic licensing activation
- Remote management via web interface
- Supports up to 30 edge cameras
Enhanced Image Processing
True WDR and 3D DNR optimize video clarity in high-contrast and low-light scenarios, delivering usable footage around the clock.
- Mechanical IR cut filter for accurate color reproduction
- Auto gain control and white balance
- Dual codec support for flexible streaming
Deployment / Use Cases
This camera is suited for perimeter security, entryway monitoring, and indoor retail or office surveillance where a discreet, durable dome form factor is preferred. The indoor/outdoor rating and wide operating temperature range make it effective for parking lots, building exteriors, warehouses, and lobbies. PoE support allows installation using a single cable for both power and data, simplifying deployments in ceilings or walls where AC outlets are unavailable.
For larger systems, the camera can integrate with Blackjack® NAS appliances for dual recording redundancy, enhancing data reliability. Its compliance with ONVIF Profile S and NDAA regulations ensures it meets standards for government and commercial installations, providing a future-proof solution that aligns with industry security mandates.
Small Business Security
Ideal for shops, offices, or small facilities needing a few cameras without investing in a full NVR system, thanks to its edge storage capabilities.
Harsh Environment Monitoring
The IP66 and IK10 ratings protect against weather, dust, and vandalism, making it reliable for industrial sites or outdoor public areas.
Physical Profile
The dome housing measures 2.90" in height and 4.90" in diameter (73.66 mm x 124.46 mm), presenting a low-profile appearance that blends into architectural elements. Its white color suits most interior and exterior finishes, while the waterproof cabling design maintains ingress protection at connection points. The compact, impact-resistant build facilitates ceiling or wall mounting in confined spaces without sacrificing durability.
