FAQ
What resolution does this Digital Watchdog camera provide?
The DWC-PVF5DI1TW delivers 5-megapixel resolution at 2592 x 1944 pixels, providing high-definition video quality suitable for identification purposes in surveillance applications. This resolution captures fine details across the camera's wide 185-degree field of view, ensuring clear imagery even when digitally zooming into specific areas of interest within the expansive coverage area.
How far does the night vision reach on this outdoor camera?
This camera features infrared night vision that extends up to 80 feet (24.38 meters) with 360-degree Smart IR illumination. The intelligent IR synchronization prevents overexposure of nearby objects while maintaining consistent lighting across the entire coverage area, ensuring reliable nighttime surveillance in complete darkness without requiring ambient light sources.
What environmental protections does this camera offer?
The camera carries both IP66 and IK09 ratings, providing comprehensive protection against environmental factors and physical impacts. The IP66 rating ensures complete protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction, while the IK09 rating indicates resistance to impacts of up to 5 joules, equivalent to a 1.7 kg mass dropped from 300 mm height, making it suitable for vandal-prone locations.
Can this camera be powered using Power over Ethernet?
Yes, the DWC-PVF5DI1TW supports both standard 12V DC power and IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE). This dual power capability provides installation flexibility, allowing the camera to receive both data connectivity and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable when connected to a PoE switch or injector, simplifying deployment in locations where AC power access is limited or inconvenient.
What mounting options are available for this fisheye camera?
This camera supports six different mounting configurations: pole mount, wall mount, corner mount, ceiling mount, gang box mount, and junction box mount. This versatility allows installers to position the camera optimally for specific surveillance needs while maintaining the 185-degree field of view regardless of mounting orientation, ensuring comprehensive coverage in diverse installation scenarios.
What video compression formats does this camera support?
The camera supports multiple video codecs including H.264, H.265, and MJPEG with simultaneous dual-stream capability. This allows different compression formats and resolutions to be streamed simultaneously to different destinations, such as high-quality H.265 recording to an NVR while providing lower-bandwidth H.264 streams for remote viewing on mobile devices, optimizing both storage efficiency and network performance.
What storage is included?
The system includes Memory Card of storage for applications, files, and everyday business data.
