Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera employs a CMOS sensor that balances power efficiency with high-definition video quality, supporting both color and monochrome output. The Digital Wide Dynamic Range (DWDR) technology compensates for challenging lighting conditions, preserving detail in high-contrast scenes where bright and dark areas coexist.
Video compatibility spans multiple analog HD formats including TVI, AHD, and CVI, alongside standard CVBS, NTSC, and PAL signals. This multi-format support simplifies integration with diverse recording systems and existing infrastructure.
This section brings together practical product details such as HD Recording, Recording Formats, Night Vision Distance, Image Sensor Type, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Deployment / Use Cases
This dome camera suits perimeter security, parking lot monitoring, building entry points, and retail exterior surveillance where weather resistance and night vision are critical. Its low-profile dome housing deters tampering and blends with architectural aesthetics.
Multiple mounting options—including wall, ceiling, pendant, pole, and corner installations—provide flexibility for covering corners, overhangs, or elevated vantage points. The fixed 3.6 mm lens offers a balanced field of view for mid-range observation areas like driveways, alleyways, or courtyard spaces.
Retail & Commercial Exteriors
Monitor storefronts, loading docks, and parking areas with 5MP clarity and robust environmental ratings that endure seasonal weather changes.
- License plate capture capable
- Vandal-resistant for public areas
Industrial Perimeter Security
Secure fence lines, gatehouses, and storage yards with extended temperature tolerance and consistent night vision across wide outdoor spaces.
- -40°C to 60°C operation
- 20m IR for large areas
Physical Profile
The compact 4-inch dome housing minimizes visual intrusion while providing full 360-degree mounting flexibility. Weighing just 362.9 grams, it places minimal load on mounting surfaces and simplifies installation on soffits, eaves, or light poles. The fixed lens configuration ensures consistent focus without adjustment, reducing maintenance needs over long deployments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 362.9 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
