Introduction
The DCS-3714 HD Day and Night WDR Camera with Lowlight+ is a professional surveillance and security solution for small,
medium, and large enterprises. The DCS-3714 uses a 1.3 megapixel progressive scan CMOS sensor which produces high
quality images with low noise allowing the DCS-3714 to provide outstanding performance with color night vision in low light-
conditions, resulting in more vibrant color detail regardless of the amount of light available. The noise reduction feature has
been upgraded and enhanced as well to provide a level of detail in the image quality that is unmatched by other oerings in
the market. In addition, the DCS-3714 has Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) enhancement, users can identify image details in both
extremely bright and dark conditions.
The DCS-3714 has a built-in removable IR-cut lter for day/night functionality which provides clear detail and high quality
video at any hour of the day. The DCS-3714 incorporates Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an SD card slot, allowing it to be
easily installed in a variety of locations. The DCS-3714 input and output ports allow connectivity to external devices such as
IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays. It also comes with an RS-485 interface, providing connectivity to an optional pan/tilt
enclosure which eectively adds pan/tilt functionality to the DCS-3714. An additional 12 V interface provides power for an
optional LED illuminator. This combination of features makes the DCS-3714 a high-performance, reliable and cost-eective
24-hour megapixel surveillance solution.
