Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the PCI-B18F4S is an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor that delivers 3840 x 2160 resolution video. The camera supports advanced video compression formats including H.265+, H.265, and H.264+, which efficiently reduce bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. This makes it an ideal fit for modern networked video systems where storage efficiency is a priority.
The fixed 4mm lens provides a wide field of view—87° horizontal, 47° vertical, and 102° diagonal—covering substantial area with a single unit. An f/1.6 maximum aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, enhancing performance in low-light conditions. The camera's exposure control ranges from an ultra-fast 1/100,000-second shutter speed to a slow 1/3-second, accommodating everything from bright daylight to dimly lit scenes.

Key Product Advantages
This camera distinguishes itself with AcuSense technology, which enhances its capability to filter out false alarms by differentiating between humans, vehicles, and other moving objects. This intelligent filtering reduces unnecessary notifications and storage usage, allowing security personnel to focus on genuine events.
Superior Low-Light Performance
Infrared illumination reaches up to 131 feet, enabling clear monochrome imaging in total darkness. Combined with features like 3D Digital Noise Reduction and Back Light Compensation, the camera maintains usable video quality in challenging lighting transitions from day to night.
- 131 ft IR night vision
- 3D DNR for cleaner video
- BLC handles strong backlight
Robust Security & Analytics
Built-in analytics include motion detection, tampering alarm, privacy masking, and cross-line detection. The camera supports HTTPS encryption and password protection to secure the video stream and configuration against unauthorized access.
- HTTPS encryption
- Tamper detection
- Privacy masking zones
Deployment / Use Cases
The PCI-B18F4S is tailored for perimeter security, parking lots, building exteriors, and other outdoor areas where 24/7 monitoring is essential. Its IP67 rating and wide operating temperature range (-22°F to 140°F) make it suitable for installations in virtually any climate, from freezing winters to hot summers.
For retail environments, the camera's 4K detail helps in identifying individuals and license plates, supporting loss prevention and forensic review. In industrial settings, its durability against dust and water allows deployment near loading docks, warehouses, and manufacturing areas. The multiple mount options—junction box, pole, and corner—provide flexibility for both new installations and retrofits into existing security infrastructure.
Physical Profile
The bullet-style housing is constructed from durable materials with a white finish that resists UV fading. Weighing 1.87 pounds (850 grams), the camera is substantial enough to remain stable in wind while not overburdening mounts. Its design includes standard M16 lens mounting for secure lens retention. The compact form factor minimizes visual obstruction while providing the necessary internal space for the imaging sensor, IR LEDs, and processing electronics.
