Outdoor Bullet Network Camera
Overview
The Brickcom OB-100A SERIES is an outdoor bullet network camera. It adopts a
megapixel sensor which allows the camera to deliver extremely clear and detailed images
that CCTV cameras cannot offer. To optimize use of the megapixel resolution, the
OB-100A SERIES uses efficient H.264/ MJPEG/ MPEG-4 codec compression to deliver
dual configurable video streams simultaneously at up to 30 fps. These features make
this series the perfect outdoor camera for neighborhood, school campus, and parking lot
surveillance.
The OB-100A SERIES has many user friendly features, such as the Smart Focus
capability which allows users to configure settings for excellent image quality without
difficult procedures. Support for Power over Ethernet enables the camera to use the
same cable for power and data transmission, eliminating the need to install an external
power supply.
Installation for the WOB-100A/GOB-100Amodels is not restricted by location or landforms.
The cameras offer various wireless options that make connecting to networks easier by
adopting the technology of IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n and 3G SIM module. The wireless Bullet
Cameras can be set within any wireless or 3G signal coverage areas. Users do not have
to worry about the data connection failing because each camera is equipped with a
SD/SDHC memory card slot for local storage.
With an IP67 certified outdoor enclosure, the OB-100A SERIES is not only weather proof,
but also dust and rust resistant. By utilizing a built-in industrial fan and heater, it can
perform well in extreme environments.
