FAQ
What is the maximum resolution and frame rate of this camera?
The camera captures video at up to 4MP resolution (2688 x 1520 pixels) with a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second. This combination ensures smooth, detailed footage suitable for identifying faces, license plates, and other critical details in real-time monitoring or playback.
How far does the night vision reach, and what technology is used?
Night vision is effective up to 131.23 feet (40 meters) using EXIR (Extended Infrared) technology. The camera employs infrared LEDs with smart illumination control and an auto-removable IR-cut filter to maintain clear monochrome video in total darkness without overexposing nearby objects.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the camera is built for outdoor use with an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep. Its operating temperature range of -22°F to 140°F (-30°C to 60°C) and 95% maximum humidity tolerance ensure reliability in harsh weather conditions.
What video compression formats are supported?
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG formats. H.265+ and H.264+ are advanced compression technologies that significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high video quality, making them ideal for network-constrained environments or long-term recording.
Does the camera include local storage options?
Yes, it features a built-in microSD card slot that supports local storage. This allows for on-camera recording independent of a network video recorder (NVR), useful for backup purposes, standalone operation, or in scenarios where network connectivity is intermittent.
What mounting options are available for this bullet camera?
The camera is designed for junction box mounting, which provides a secure, weatherproof attachment to walls, ceilings, or poles. The included mounting bracket allows for adjustment of the viewing angle during installation to achieve the desired coverage area within the lens's 103-degree horizontal field of view.
