Introduction
This product is a speed dome camera that can connect to Ethernet, LAN, and any
broadband networks. Unlike traditional CCTV cameras, a CPU and a webpage server
are built in the speed dome camera to provide a professional remote monitoring
function for the user. This camera provides a 360° quick rotation monitoring and an
intelligent image detection system that automatically locks on target and enlarges the
image when an abnormal object is detected. This product is a professional, cutting
edge monitoring equipment.
Features and advantages
The speed dome camera can operate independently without the need for any other
hardware or software. After the camera is connected to the network, the remote
monitoring can be achieved via the IE browser (version 6.0 or above) of a computer to
provide the best security.
The camera has the following features:
zThe 1/4” Sony Exview HAD CCD image sensor provides vivid image quality.
zThe 18x or 26x optical zooming camera lens allows a clearer view from a
distance.
zMPEG4/MJPEG dual image compression modes and the dual encoding
capability meet different requirements of the user.
zRotation speed reaches up to 400° per second allowing for quick positioning.
zAutomatic surveillance camera can rotate 360° horizontally and 0° - 90°
vertically with 64 preset positions.
zDay & Night Mode with Auto-IR Cut Filter.
zIP-66 Weather-Resistant Housing for outdoor environment usage.
zThe intelligent dynamic image detection function can automatically monitor
abnormal situations and make instant response according to the setting.
zThe built-in webpage server allows an easy access via networks.
zDynamic IP and DNS are supported. The camera can operate in a setting without
any static IP.
zUser permission can be set based on different levels to ensure the security of the
camera and protection of the property.
zThe simple and clear design is suitable for airports, train stations, office
buildings, large gymnasiums, warehouses, factories, shopping malls and schools.
