2. Product Overview
Key Features
Exceptional Images
This camera employs a 5MP Lumii sensor that quadruples sensitivity without blurring. The
camera utilizes Lumii technology to monitor the surveillance area in great detail in even the most
difficult lighting conditions. It delivers crisp and detailed images that are perfect for object- and
person-recognition. The camera’s high resolution also enables it to provide larger overviews,
increasing the size of the surveillance area without affecting image resolution.
Smartfocus
A built-in nine-point focus indicator enables the camera to focus precisely and automatically on objects,
relieving users of the need to adjust the focus manually.
Powerful IR Illuminator
The powerful IR illuminator lights objects evenly, reducing image noise and storage requirements. The
IR illuminator activates automatically when the lighting dims to under 10 lux. In night mode, the
illuminator enables the camera to capture images at even 0 lux. To help minimize energy usage, the
camera also comes equipped with a high-power LED.
ICR Day/Night Switching
This camera incorporates a mechanical ICR filter to capture perfect pictures at any light level. The
camera switches between its day and night modes automatically depending on the lighting
conditions, enabling it to capture color video in even 0.3-lux conditions and black/white video in
as little as 0 lux, ensuring crisp, clear images at all times. The camera’s megapixel resolution and
mechanical ICR filter deliver sharp, detailed captures and images of distant objects in even total
darkness.
Housing Certified to IP66 and IP67
Certified to IP66 and IP67, the die-cast aluminum alloy housing protects the camera against
extremely bad weather, making it perfect for outdoor surveillance.
Easy Installation
The cable-management bracket enables easy installation in any location, including walls,
surfaces, and ceilings. The camera’s built-in user-friendly I/O connectors also help reduce
installation time and maintenance costs.

Note: Two desiccant packs are already placed near the lens. The desiccant pack prevents
fogging on the inside of the lens due to any moisture. Make adjustments within 30 minutes or
the desiccant pack may absorb too much moisture and become ineffective.
Desiccant packs that have absorbed too much moisture need to be replaced or reactivated.
When lens adjustments are complete, reattach the camera cover and sunshield.
3.1.5 Using “SmartFocus” to Adjust Focus Smartly
This network box camera provides “SmartFocus” to obtain correct focus on a subject, instead of
requiring users to adjust focus manually. 9 view zones are provided. When you obtain correct
focus on each view zone, the green light will be turned on.
1. Directly connect the video output cable to your monitor.
2. Press the reset button until the power is on.
3. The nine zones will appear in your monitor. Adjust the lens focus and symbols will be
displayed on the top left corner of each zone.
The green light: it means each view zone’s best focus position.
The red arrow: it means it is near the best focus position. You just need to fine-tune it.
