Key features
- 4 megapixel network video resolution
- 42x optical zoom lens for long-range detail
- Laser illumination with a stated range of 500 metres
- LightHunter technology for low-light image performance
- Pan, tilt and zoom control for wide area coverage
- AI version, with intelligent video analysis as named in the product title
- Network (IP) connection for remote viewing and recording
Image quality and zoom
The 4MP sensor provides sharper images than standard resolution cameras, which helps when you need to identify people, vehicles or objects. The 42x optical zoom lets the operator bring distant subjects closer without losing image quality, because the zoom works through the lens rather than by digitally enlarging the picture.
Night and low-light operation
The built-in laser illuminator lights up the scene in darkness, with a stated reach of 500 metres. LightHunter technology supports clear images in low-light conditions, so the camera can keep working after sunset without relying on the ambient light of the area.
Network and control
Because the camera is a network device, it sends its video over your IP network. Footage can be viewed on a computer, or on a compatible video management system, depending on your setup. Pan and tilt movements let one camera cover a large area that would otherwise need several fixed units.
AI functions
The AI designation in the product name indicates intelligent video analysis. The exact detection functions, supported analytics and any licence requirements are not stated in the supplier information used for this listing, so check the manufacturer documentation before relying on a specific feature.

Typical uses
This camera suits large outdoor sites where one unit must watch a wide or distant area. Common examples include perimeter security for car parks, industrial estates, logistics yards, ports, farms, construction sites, and campuses. It is also useful for monitoring long roads, waterfronts or open ground, where the zoom and night illumination help operators identify activity at a distance.
For the best results, plan the mounting height and position so the camera has a clear view of the target area, and make sure the network and power supply are sized for the installation.
