1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Camera is based on requirements such as temperature measurement, fire prevention, safety
protection and night vision. It can help you view videos, record videos of objects, measure
temperature, warn the potential fire, track a cold/hot spot and analyze a special behavior. The
Camera can be used in energy industry, transportation, building, power system, public security,
government, enterprises, and other fields (such as science, education, culture and health). You can
use the Camera alone or combine the Camera with other storage devices to provide solutions for
intelligence city, production safety, safety protection of residential buildings and public area safety.
1.2 Features
●Safe and stable.
●With a full embedded system, this Camera can implement all-day monitoring in a stable way.
●A long detection distance.
●Wide monitoring range and long detection distance. Used for surveillance of wide range and
long distance.
●Strong detection ability.
●With night vision ability, this Camera can clearly distinguish different objects in the dark and can
tell camouflage and hidden objects.
●Strong anti-interference ability.
●This Camera can get rid of interference of light intensity under backlight or strong light
environment.
●Adaptive capacity to complex environment.
●Applicable to such environment as smoke, smog, rain, snow, and dust which will block your eyes
and is very confusing in colors.
This product can be used in various scenarios and the "small application scenarios" is used as an
example here for detailed description. See Figure 1-1.
