It provides colour recordings with 640 x 480 pixels in real-time. Video data is transmitted wirelessly via WLAN. A covered power cable provides optimum protection against manipulation. To simplify integration in existing surveillance systems, the camera supports the manufacturer-independent ONVIF standard.

Thanks to its IP54 protection class, the new outdoor camera can also be used in uncovered outdoor areas without requiring additional weatherproof housing. Rain, snow and direct sunlight are no problem. With an angle of vision of 53.1° the security camera can cover the entire entrance area when positioned correctly. Legally sensitive zones can be hidden using private zone masking.

Another equipment feature is the quadstream function. It facilitates parallel transmission of videos with differing frame rates and thereby provides great versatility when configuring the system. For example, the user has the option of recording video images in high quality with H.264 compression and watching the pictures live via a smartphone.

In order to make sure the security camera does not miss anything – even in the dark – the day/night camera has an electromechanical, swivelling infrared cut filter. The twelve integrated IR LEDs switch on automatically at below 0.8 Lux. Other image correction functions such as BLC, AGC or AWB also help to compensate for changing light conditions and provide perfect recordings.

Like all Abus network security cameras, VMS Express video management software is also included with this model. The software helps while installing and configuring the camera. It can be used to set resolution, quality and frame rate. The motion detection can be used to trigger a range of responses such as recording start, alerts or e-mail dispatch.
