This new camera provides real-time full HD video (1080p/30) using the H.264 codec, currently, the most advanced standard for high-efficiency video compression, and supports resolutions up to 3-megapixel.

Besides a comprehensive set of automatic and manual image optimisation functions and many other setting options, it features automatic day/night operation supported by integrated ambient light sensing and a removable IR cut filter (ICR).

In addition, the camera is equipped with a fast (large maximum aperture) and motor-driven P-Iris megapixel varifocal lens (F1.2 – F2.3 / 3 – 9 mm) which allows for the convenient adjustment/configuration of the zoom, focus and iris via the web browser. The novel P-Iris control technology, designed for a precise and automatic adjustment of the optimum aperture, thereby realises a significantly improved image quality compared to conventional DC auto iris lenses under almost all lighting conditions. The results are excellent contrast, brilliant clarity and enhanced detail resolution combined with a greater depth of field.

In conjunction with the digital image shift function, which provides for a subsequent digital fine alignment of the image section, a convenient and straightforward installation process of the camera is guaranteed.

Depending on the requirements, the camera can be conventionally supplied with 12V DC or conveniently operated via power over Ethernet which allows for an easy, quick and cost-effective cabling and commissioning.
