Preface
The 2-megapixel SF2012H is a box IP camera (network camera) with interchangeable lenses and
suitable housing for both indoor and outdoor applications. The camera has a mechanical IR-cut filter to
offer clear video both day and night. Its excellent optical performance is complemented by local
storage and a standard CS mount, giving you the flexibility to choose exactly the right CS mount lens
for the location. This makes the SF2012H the ideal cornerstone for any intelligent, high-performance
surveillance system.
