Lens and field of view
The 2.8-12mm focal length range is what makes this camera adaptable. At the short end of the range the lens gives a wide view, useful for covering a large room, a lobby or a section of a car park. At the long end it narrows the view, so the camera can read details at a greater distance, such as a doorway across a hall or a till area. The motorized function allows the operator to change the zoom and focus from a distance, which is helpful when a camera is mounted high on a ceiling or wall.
Image quality and resolution
A 2 megapixel sensor offers a good balance between image detail and storage needs. It is suitable for identifying people and activity in typical indoor and commercial scenes. The actual image performance depends on lighting, distance, lens setting and the viewing software, so it is worth testing the camera at the installed location.
Design and installation
The dome housing protects the lens and makes the direction of view less obvious. Dome cameras are normally fixed to ceilings or walls with a suitable bracket. Plan the cable route before installation and make sure the mounting surface can hold the weight of the camera. Check the power and network connection requirements against your existing infrastructure before fitting.
Typical uses
This camera suits a range of surveillance projects, including:
- Retail shops and showrooms, covering sales floors and checkouts
- Office buildings, reception areas and corridors
- Warehouses and storage areas
- Car parks and entrances, where the zoom can be set to the required distance
- Residential buildings and shared spaces
System integration
The camera is designed to work within a network video surveillance system. It can be connected to a recorder, a video management platform or other compatible equipment. Several cameras can be combined to cover a site, and recording settings can be planned around how long footage needs to be kept and how much storage is available.
Before you buy
Confirm the power supply, network connection, mounting options and recording equipment before ordering. Review the full product documentation for specifications such as light sensitivity, operating conditions and the supported software. If you are unsure whether the camera suits your project, ask a specialist to survey the site and recommend the correct lens setting and number of cameras needed.
