• Crystal-clear 1080p color video with exceptional dynamic range that preserves facial details, license plates, and other important features, even when lighting conditions shift rapidly. The camera’s capable processing and wide dynamic range reduce gaps between bright highlights and shadowed areas, enabling security teams to identify events with confidence across a variety of indoor environments.
• Discreet indoor dome design for flexible mounting that blends into corporate interiors while delivering robust performance. The compact, tamper-conscious form factor fits ceiling or wall installations with minimal visual impact, helping maintain a professional atmosphere while maintaining surveillance coverage in high-traffic spaces like lobbies, storefronts, classrooms, and back-office corridors.
• Versatile imaging with a varifocal lens and adjustable field of view allowing you to tailor coverage to your exact space. Whether you need a broad overview of a reception area or focused detail at a cash desk, you can adjust the lens to capture the scene precisely, reducing blind spots and optimizing storage by avoiding unnecessary framing. This flexibility also supports future reconfiguration without replacing hardware.
• Edge analytics and efficient compression for bandwidth and storage savings with advanced processing at the camera and Zipstream-compatible encoding. This combination minimizes bandwidth usage and storage needs without sacrificing essential detail, enabling longer retention periods and smoother remote monitoring even on networks with limited capacity.
• Secure, reliable, and easy-to-integrate with PoE and strong security features that simplify deployment and ongoing operations. Power over Ethernet supplies both power and data over a single cable, while encryption, certificate management, role-based access control, and secure communications help protect video integrity and confidentiality within a multi-camera ecosystem that can scale over time.
