The camera offers intuitive functions, superior performance, and versatile interfaces. The features
include advanced ISP processing algorithms to provide vivid images with a strong sense of depth,
high resolution, and fantastic color rendition. It supports H.264/H.265 encoding, which makes video
motion fluent and clear, even with less than ideal bandwidth conditions. By adopting a high accuracy
step-driving motor mechanism, it works extremely quietly, and moves smoothly and very quickly to
its designated position. The product works stably and reliably, and is easy to use, install, and
maintain.
