Technical Overview
This camera utilizes a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor to produce 1920 x 1080 resolution video, balancing image quality with efficient power consumption. The fixed 2.8 mm lens provides a wide 103° horizontal field of view, reducing blind spots and covering expansive areas. Advanced imaging features include Auto Gain Control, Day/Night operation, Back Light Compensation, Wide Dynamic Range, and Digital Noise Reduction, which optimize video clarity across varying lighting conditions.
Exposure control is managed through a shutter speed range from 1/50000 to 1/30 second, allowing for sharp capture of fast-moving objects. The camera operates on 12 V DC power and uses wired connectivity for stable video transmission. Its M12-mount lens is included and pre-focused, simplifying installation.
