FAQ
What is the resolution of this Hikvision camera?
This Hikvision camera provides 4MP resolution with maximum video resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels. This delivers detailed, evidence-grade video suitable for identifying people, vehicles, and objects in surveillance footage. The 4MP sensor captures more detail than traditional 1080p cameras while maintaining efficient bandwidth usage through H.265/H.264 compression.
How does the AcuSense technology work?
AcuSense technology uses deep learning algorithms to analyze video and distinguish between human targets, vehicle targets, and other motion. This classification capability significantly reduces false alarms by filtering out irrelevant motion like moving shadows or animals, allowing security systems to focus on genuine security events. The technology operates directly on the camera, providing intelligent analytics at the edge without requiring additional server processing.
What type of lens does this camera have?
This camera features a fixed 2.8mm lens with M12 mount and f/1.6 maximum aperture.
