Chapter 1 Box Camera
The Box Camera is a series of indoor IP cameras consisting of fixed focal
and varifocal models in different resolutions. The Box Camera supports
lens replacement and features an automatic infrared-cut filter for day and
night surveillance. The super low lux models are capable of displaying
color live view in near darkness. Models equipped with a mini USB port
can be connected wirelessly through a GV-WiFi Adapter (optional). The
WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes with contrasting
intensity of lights. Models using P-Iris allow for precise control of exposure,
producing images with better clarity and contrast. The Box Camera models
are detailed below:
