5- Camera Overview
5.1-Features
1.3 MegaPixel 16x9 CMOS sensor
This camera sports a 1.3MP 16x9 CMOS sensor that provides improved picture quality over a typical CCD sensor.
22x Zoom
PTZ Controls
H.264/ MJPEG/MPEG4 Quadruple Stream Optimization
Supports up to 4 simultaneously streams of compression compressed video typically used for the following situations:
oHigh Res stream optimized for NVR Record or Local Network viewing
oLower Res stream optimized for Remote viewing
oLower Res stream optimized for Control Systems (same res as Stream 2)
oLow Res stream for Mobile Viewing
True Day/Night (IR Cut Filter)
For more accurate, vivid color reproduction during daytime use, an IR Cut filter is automatically moved over the lens to block
unwanted IR. At night, the filter is removed to deliver maximum visibility and clear IR illumination.
Advanced Image Processing
Advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to improve image quality including:
oSense Up: Automatically slows the shutter speed to improve image quality in low light.
oWDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Provides clearer images and even lighting in applications that are simultaneously bright and
dark. This is particularly useful in areas with windows and lots of natural light.
oDigital Noise Reduction (DNR): Intelligently scans the image and reduces noise in low-lux conditions for a cleaner, crisper
image.
Privacy Mask
Block out sensitive or privileged areas by placing rectangular blocks or "masks" over up to three installer-defined areas.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af)
Camera can be powered by PoE using the same Cat5e/Cat6 cable that connects to the network. No need to pull a 2nd power
cable to the location. Compatible with all PoE network switches that support PoE IEEE 802.3af and PoE power injectors.
Edge Storage
The camera supports microSD cards (up to 32GB, card NOT included). Images, short recordings and logs can be stored on a
microSD installed into the camera. This is useful as a backup if the network connection to the NVR is lost.
Alarm input and outputs
1 In / 1 Out, transistor contact closures
ONVIF

5.2-Camera Connections
1 2 3
4 5 6
1. microSD Card Slot
Insert a microSD card to record when network connection is interrupted.
Requires configuration, see section 12.15-SD Card.
2. Contact & Relay (Spring Loaded Terminal)
Connect to devices with contact closure activation to trigger recording from the camera, or activate devices such as sirens
at the cameras location.
3. Ethernet Connection (RJ45)
Connect to network switch for communication to and from the camera. Pin out follows EIA standard 568-B
4. Audio In (1/8” -3.5mm Mono)
Connect to a powered microphone such as the WPS-ACC-MIC to allow for listening to audio at the cameras location.
Note: A 3.5mm 1/8” Mono male to RCA male adapter is required (not included) for use with WPS-ACC-MIC.
5. Audio Out(1/8” - 3.5mm Mono)
Connect to an amplifier and speakers to allow for communication between the viewer and the cameras location.
6. 12V DC Power In (Barrel Connector)
Connect to the supplied 12V DC 33A power supply.
Note: No power supply is needed if PoE is being used to power the camera via the Ethernet connection.
