This latest Planet cube camera supports H.264, MPEG-4, and JPEG compression formats to deliver excellent picture quality in full HD resolutions at 30 frames per second (fps). Incorporating the new Exmor CMOS image sensor, the ICA-1200 provides high quality images under all lighting conditions. It is ideal for remote and discreet monitoring of indoor areas such as home, small businesses, boutiques, restaurants, hotels, residences, etc.

The ICA-1200 brings clear vision at night by featuring 0.5 lux illumination and the 10 red-light LEDs built around the lens. It offers colour pictures both during the day and at night with the built-in CMOS sensor supporting up to 5~10 metres. The ICA-1200 also uses a new high-light LED to provide greater performance in the dark and longer life of the LED.

Together with powerful image processing attributes like wide dynamic range (WDR) and 3D digital noise reduction (3DNR) technology, the ICA-1200 is able to filter the intense backlight surrounding a subject and remove noises from video signal. Thus, it brings an extremely clear and detailed picture quality even under challenging lighting conditions.

The ICA-1200 is designed with a built-in passive infrared (PIR) motion detection sensor able to detect movement from as far as 6 metres away. When people pass by or an emergency happens in the specified areas, the ICA-1200 will “detect” and start recording automatically. With the additional function of alarm notification, it can send an e-mail alert or the captured images via FTP upload to a designated storage server.

Supporting a store-to-NAS function, the ICA-1200 can work alone and save the video file to a NAS directly, which can save PC resources and whilst continuing to monitor the environment with motion detection at 24/7. It also offers 2-way audio surveillance allowing the administrator to speak to anyone at the ICA-1200 remote site with a speaker connected. In addition, the ICA-1200 supports inputs/outputs to connect with external devices such as door sensors and relays to activate lights or to close doors.

The ICA-1200 incorporates IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet standard and can be powered via the network cable from a PoE power sourcing equipment such as a PoE switch and PoE injector. It thus eliminates the need for extra power cables and reduces installation costs while increasing the deployment flexibility. The ICA-1200 is ONVIF compliant and interoperable with other brand products on the market. It also includes a 64-CH central management software for ease of maintenance and remote monitoring.
