Description

A wide 5 MP image through a 2.8 mm lens

The 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor records at 2960 × 1668 and up to 30 frames per second. The 2.8 mm lens covers 108.4° horizontally, 60° vertically and 127.1° diagonally, so one camera can watch a whole yard or warehouse room. 120 dB WDR, BLC and HLC handle backlight and headlights, while 3D noise reduction keeps the picture clean at dusk.

Night vision with two light sources

The camera has a built-in illuminator with two light sources: according to the manufacturer, infrared and warm light each reach up to 50 m. Infrared gives a discreet black-and-white image, while warm light provides a colour picture in the dark. Smart IR adjusts the illuminator so close objects are not overexposed, and a minimum illumination of 0.0005 lx lets the camera see in near darkness.

AI that tells people from vehicles

As a WizMind series camera, it runs Xinghan large-scale vision models and deep-learning algorithms. IVS functions cover intrusion and tripwire detection, human and vehicle classification and people counting; the manufacturer also lists face detection, video metadata and AcuPick. Because alarms are triggered by people or vehicles rather than leaves and shadows, false alerts are reduced.

Recording to a card or the network

The camera can record on its own to a microSD card of up to 1 TB or to network-attached storage (NAS), so a recorder is not always required. H.265 and H.264 with SMART H.265+, ROI and SVC keep archives small. Supported protocols include RTSP, HTTPS and IEEE 802.1x, live view is available in the mobile app for Android and iOS, and up to 20 users can be set up.

Power and installation

The camera is powered over PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), with ePoE and 12 V DC also supported. Typical consumption is 4.2 W and the maximum is 13.3 W. It mounts on a ceiling, wall or pole, and the camera module pans 0–360° and tilts 0–80°. The metal housing weighs 530 g, measures 122 mm across and 105.5 mm high, and operates from −40 to 60 °C.

Who this IP camera is for

Private houses, stores, warehouses and industrial yards that need to watch a wide area at short and medium distance. The wide 2.8 mm lens suits a driveway, a car park or a warehouse floor, people counting is useful for retail spaces, and with an operating range down to −40 °C a cold winter is no obstacle. The white housing matches light facades and eaves.
