Features
Bitrate - 3MP / 1080P
You can choose recording modes with this camera. At 3MP and 20 FPS, this camera should use 5Mbps of the NVR's bitrate budget. At 1080P and 30 FPS, this camera should use 5Mbps of the NVR's bitrate budget.
Did you know: The processor in an NVR has both an incoming and outgoing bitrate. Incoming is for recording video and outgoing is for watching it remotely. All of our NVRs have at least 5Mbps per channel in incoming bitrate, and many models can have extra bitrate. Your NVR's spare incoming bitrate is what determines if it can record channels at higher-than-1080P resolution, perform the sophisticated video analytics on our IntelliPro line of video analytic cameras, use specialty panoramic cameras, or many other things (see individual NVR models).

Vari-focal Lens

This camera has a Vari-focal Lens.
Surveillance cameras have two types of lenses, fixed and varifocal. A fixed lens is just that - fixed at a specific focal length (most commonly 3.6mm) and cannot be adjusted. A 3.6mm lens is a good middle ground between a wide angle and a narrow angle lens. A vari-focal lens gives you the ability to adjust the lens (most commonly from 2.8 to 12mm). A vari-focal lens is perfect for everything from small rooms and narrow hallways to long distance surveillance because the lens allows you to change the angle of view to get a wide or narrow shot. Vari-focal lenses must be adjusted in person. Specialty security cameras that allow you to adjust the angle of view and level of zoom remotely are known as PTZ cameras.
For more information on Vari-focal Lenses, consult our Knowledge Base Article on Varifocal Security Cameras

Resolution

This camera has a resolution of 3.0 Megapixels which can be recorded at 30 FPS at 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels).
This camera can achieve higher resolution if you reduce the frame rate. Consult our technical specs tab (above) for more info.
Frame Rate

This Camera records 1080p at 30 FPS. To avoid wasting money, you should try to have the frame rate of your IP Camera match your NVR.
"Realtime recording" is 30 frames-per-second per camera which is the standard for video recording.
When comparing NVRs, it is important to determine framerate per camera, as framerate is what prevents motion blur or "fuzziness." Some NVR manufacturers obscure their frame rate by saying things like "FPS is 60" which makes their frame rate sound higher, however they often mean by that is "The Total FPS of all the cameras combined is 60." For example, if Total FPS is 60 then the frame rate is 15 per camera if there are 4 channels, or 7.5 FPS if there are 8 cameras.

Weatherproof Housing
This camera has a Weatherproof Housing.
It has been rated at IP66 which means that International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) international standard 60529 has rated this camera housing as having full protection from dust and safe from water damage up to powerful jets of water (but not immersion).
This camera can be safely used outdoors.
Attention: The IP66 rating covers the camera's housing not the cable. Please follow our RJ45 Waterproofing guide for weatherizing your cable connections.

POE (Power over Ethernet)
This camera can be powered via an ethernet cable.
POE allows a Cat5 cable to both carry data and power, making it so that you only have to run one cable. You will need either a POE injector, a POE switch or one of our NVRs with built-in SCWEasyConnect POE to power a camera via ethernet.
**There is an optional wall plug adapter on most of our camera models. This wall plug adapter is only used by clients who cannot run POE cables.
Motion Detection
This recorder has Motion Detection.
You can use motion detection to only record when motion is detected by your recording device, saving hard drive space and making it easier to manage events. Motion detection can also be used to send you email alerts when motion is detected.
Unlike alarms which emits a beam of light, and if anything crosses that beam it sets off the motion alarm, our NVRs are far more advanced and use video analytics.
When you record on motion, the cameras are actually recoding all the time; the NVR then analyzes the new created video and looks for changes in the frames of the video. If it is does not detect any changes, it deletes the video rather than stores it. This means that you should get between 4-8x longer record time for the same hard drive space.
Video Analytics based Motion Detection is preferable to PIR (passive infrared) motion detection for two reasons: 1. PIR sensors can interfere with a camera's night vision (which also uses infrared), and 2. you can modify the motion settings to meet your needs.
You can modify the sensitivity level, so that more or less movement is required for the motion detection to trigger.
You can create exclusion areas (places where you don’t care if there is motion). So, for example, you could create a motion based alert to notify you if someone was in your yard, but ignore them if they were in the side walk of the street.
You can create individual schedules for each camera, including hours for motion, hours for continuous recording, or even hours when that camera is off completely.
Email Alerts
This recorder has Email Alerts.
You can set up your recorder to email you when motion is detected, (it uses a compatible email address of your choosing). You have control with our email alert system. You can choose specific dates and times for these alerts to be active and other times for these alerts to be ignored.
You can also setup additional email alerts, such as if a camera cable was unplugged or cut or if the camera otherwise loses power, if a camera was disabled, such as a bag put on it or the lens spray painted or has an object placed in front of it, or if your hard drive is having issues.
Smart IR

This camera has Smart IR.
Smart IR allows the camera to reduce or increase the level of infrared light it projects based upon the subject's distance. This allows the image to not get "washed out" by over-exposing the subject.

ONVIF Conformant
This device is ONVIF Conformant.ONVIF is an open industry standard encoding language for the interface of IP-based physical security products.
PSIA Compatible

This device is PSIA compatible.
PSIA helps security devices communicate with each other by using a common language. It helps diverse physical security systems and services—such as cameras, sensors, access control, alarms, analytics, physical security information management, fleet management, etc -- to be able to flawlessly communicate with each other.
ONVIF has been more commonly implemented that PSIA in video surveillance, however PSIA includes far more than video surveillance in its interoperability. Consult your SAAS service, alarm company, or other manufacturer to determine PSIA compatibility.
Backlight Compensation

This camera has Automatic Backlight Compensation.
Backlight Compensation automatically bring more detail to darker areas in the foreground of an image when there is a bright light in the background. Very useful when recording in front of large windows.
Privacy Mask

This camera has Privacy Mask Technology.
A privacy mask allows you to protect personal privacy by blocking out a section of the frame from being viewed real time or recorded.
Automatic White Balance

This camera has Automatic White Balance.
Automatic White Balance adjusts the color hues so that incandescent bulbs, florescent, or quartz lights don't "yellow" image colors, resulting in a more natural color profile.

BenchTesting Guide
It is very, very important that you always bench test IP cameras before installing them. This will help you determine if you accidentally cut an ethernet cable during installation.

The Quickstart Guide
You should get one of these in your shipment when you order, but sometimes it is nice to have a digital version.

Safety First
Our products are really safe, but if you are going to drill into a wall - for any purpose - you need to stay away from your electrical lines and turn your power off.

Using Electrical Mounting Boxes
Our electrical box mounts are used to give easy access to your connections, hide them inside the junction box, and allow you to drill a smaller hole in your wall. If you want to run EMT or FMC conduit they are necessary to run conduit straight to the camera.
