Video Features
Security cameras are meant to capture important evidence should something happen. Learn the technology within this security camera that makes this happens.
Camera Features
The outside of this security camera is just as impressive as the inside. Built using anti-corrosive metal, you can be sure that it will be there for you all year long.
Installation and Settings
This security camera belongs to our line of easy-to-install IP cameras. It also offers plenty of customizable features when connected to a compatible Network Video Recorder.
Video Features
4K security monitoring
At the center of this security camera is a cutting edge 8.51 MP image sensor. This sensor is capable of recording 4K video, which is especially important for security camera footage. 4K footage will ultimately provide you with the best chance to capture useable evidence should an incident ever occur. (It is important to note that this 4K security camera does not require a 4K television or monitor for use. The additional resolution will simply be there for you should you need to review key events.)
Over 8 million pixels
This 4K resolution security camera contains 4× the amount of pixels as a 1080p security camera. Instead of recording at a pixel ratio of 1920 × 1080 (a total of 2,073,600 pixels), this 4K camera can record at a pixel ratio of 3840 x 2160 (a total of 8,294,400 pixels). The higher amount of pixels offered by a 4K security camera allows for much better digital enhancing. So when you spot something in your footage that you need to zoom in on, specific details, such as a person’s facial features, will remain distinguishable for longer as you zoom in further and further.
Infrared Night Vision
See further into the dark than ever before. Nocturnal security cameras come with high powered infrared LEDs that flood the scene in front of the camera with infrared lighting. Invisible to the naked eye, but not to the camera, this infrared lighting will allow your security camera to see in complete darkness.
Color Night Vision (CNVâ„¢)
Add external lights around your nocturnal security camera to utilize our revolutionary Color Night Vision technology. With CNV, you’ll be able to capture a whole new level of details, such as the color of a car or the color of a person’s clothes, which may prove invaluable if needed for evidence.
Sony Exmor Râ„¢ CMOS sensor
The image sensor at the core of this camera is not your typical image sensor. It is an incredibly sophisticated Sony Exmor Râ„¢ image sensor. This sensor uses back illuminated pixel technology for exceptional low light performance. The sensor also shields the video from excessive feedback and video noise by passing the signal through an analog noise reduction program before converting the video signal to digital. Afterwards, a secondary digital noise reduction filter is applied, allowing the image to remain crystal clear.
Back illuminated pixel technology
With a front illuminated image sensor, light energy (photons) would have to travel through a layer of metal wiring and transistors before reaching the image sensor’s light sensitive area (photo-diode). These obstructions would diminish the amount of light that is ultimately captured. That’s no longer the case with this camera’s back illuminated image sensor. With this sensor, the light doesn’t have to pass through that layer of wiring, which drastically improves the amount of light captured. This vastly enhances low-light performance and results in less digital noise to keep your security footage clean and clear.
eShutterâ„¢
This security camera automatically knows how to optimize the brightness of the video while minimizing motion blur thanks to its electronic shutter. An electronic shutter, as opposed to a mechanical shutter, does not rapidly open and shut with every picture (or frame). Instead, the image sensor accumulates light for a set amount of time (anywhere between 1/3 of a second to 1/100000 of a second), then resets (like the shutter closing) and gets ready for the next frame. In essence, a high shutter speed will provide the least amount of motion blur. However, a high shutter needs a lot of light, so finding the right balance can be difficult. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about this, as the camera’s eShutterâ„¢ figures it out for you.
Active mechanical lens filter
As evening fades into night, this security camera will automatically shift into infrared night mode. In fact, if you are close enough, you will be able to hear a noticeable click the moment this happens. This is the Active Mechanical Lens Filter, otherwise known as the IR Cut Filter, disengaging. Without it, UV and infrared rays would be allowed to enter the lens during the day, causing distortions and discoloration to the video. This filter also reduces the effects of atmospheric conditions such as haze, to create sharper images with more depth and finer, richer color gradation. When enough natural light enters the frame, the mechanical filter will automatically click back into position.
Real-time 30FPS recording rate
Choose to record 4K resolution at 15 FPS (frames-per-second) or record at a real-time 30 FPS rate at 2K (3MP) resolution. Recording at 30 FPS will provide you with exceptionally smooth on-screen movement and provide you with more frames to choose from when cycling through footage.
Enhanced security monitoring with HDR
This security camera uses HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology to ensure that you capture the most important details, regardless of lighting conditions. Dynamic range is measured as the difference between the brightest point and the darkest point of the video. HDR technology uses this difference to automatically adjust the picture’s brightness, resulting in optimized, highly-detailed security video.
