Megapixel Outdoor Bullet Network
Camera Overview
Digital
The FCS-5041 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 FCS-5041 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 FCS-5041 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.
It provides a USB connector for option support WUA-5600 which is a 150Mbps N Wireless
High Power Outdoor USB Adapter with 7dBi antenna. Installation will not be restricted by
location or landforms. The FCS-5041+WUA-5600 high power wireless solution can be set
within any wireless coverage.
With an IP67 certified outdoor enclosure, the FCS-5041 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.
