FAQ
What is the maximum video resolution of this camera?
The Digital Watchdog DWC-MV45WIATW captures video at up to 2592 x 1944 resolution, which is 5 megapixels. This high resolution provides detailed imagery suitable for identification purposes at appropriate distances, supporting surveillance applications where clear visual evidence is essential.
How far does the night vision capability extend?
This camera provides infrared night vision up to 100 feet (30.48 meters) in near-total darkness. The illumination allows the camera to capture monochrome video during nighttime hours, ensuring continuous surveillance operation regardless of lighting conditions.
What environmental protection ratings does this camera have?
The camera features IP68 ingress protection, making it completely dust-tight and waterproof when submerged. It also has IK10 impact protection, which means it can withstand 20 joules of impact energy, equivalent to a 5 kg mass dropped from 400 mm, providing excellent vandal resistance for exposed installations.
What mounting options are available for this dome camera?
This camera supports pole mounting, wall mounting, ceiling mounting, and junction box mounting configurations. This flexibility allows installers to adapt the camera to various architectural environments and surveillance requirements, whether for perimeter security, building exteriors, or overhead monitoring.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this camera meets the sourcing requirements for U.S. government procurement. Products with TAA compliance are manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries, making them eligible for federal, state, and institutional contracts where these regulations apply.
What video compression formats does this camera support?
The camera supports MJPEG, H.264, and H.265 video compression formats. H.265 offers approximately 50% better compression efficiency than H.264, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining video quality, which is particularly valuable for multi-camera installations with limited network resources.
What display size or resolution is listed?
It features a display specification of 5 Megapixel, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
