Key Features

Specs: Matrix IR 2.0 / Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) / Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) / Back Light Compensation (BLC)

Easy Setup: The advanced 3-axis design provides flexible camera angle adjustment for mounting the camera in almost any orientationn.

IP66 Waterproof: The IP66 rated design provides protection from dust and water ingress, making it perfect for outdoor applications in all weather conditions.

True WDR: The True Wide Dynamic Range rated at 120dB allows the camera to produce images that are adjusted to bright and dark areas, eliminating over and under exposure.

Matrix IR 2.0: The matrix IR 2.0 feature provides superior illumination and imaging over with more traditional IR illumination solutions. It can illuminate to distances up to 65ft in 0 lux conditions with more uniform exposure, particularly at the edges of the image. Matrix IR eliminates overexposure and hot spots (halo or spotlight effects in an image), reduces interference and video noise, with a more vivid image overall. It is more energy efficient and has a longer lifespan with better heat dissipation than traditional IR technology.
