Advantages and Applications

This video camera is ideal for outdoor and indoor monitoring: residential buildings, yards, entrances, shops, warehouses, and offices. Thanks to the variable focal length of 2.8–12 mm, you get flexibility in adjusting the viewing angle — from a wide panoramic view to narrow detailed control. SMART IR provides uniform illumination of objects at night for clearer images at distances up to 40 meters.

Integration and Setup

The camera supports standard HD/Composite outputs, making it compatible with most Turbo HD recorders and analog systems. The OSD menu allows for quick adjustment of operating parameters without the need for additional software. 3D-DNR functions help reduce digital noise in low light, which improves recording quality and reduces the load on the video storage system.

Installation Recommendations

To achieve optimal video quality, it is recommended to install the camera at a height that allows for proper coverage of the desired viewing area and to adjust the focus according to the distance to the monitored objects. When installing outdoors, care should be taken to protect cables and mounting points from atmospheric influences.
