FAQ
What is ColorVu technology and how does it benefit surveillance?
ColorVu technology combines an ultra-wide F1.0 aperture with advanced sensor technology to deliver 24/7 colour imaging. This means the camera can capture detailed colour footage even in extremely low-light conditions where traditional cameras would switch to black and white, significantly improving subject identification and evidence quality.
How does the Smart Hybrid Light technology work?
Smart Hybrid Light technology intelligently combines both infrared and white light illumination with 40m range capability. The system automatically selects the optimal lighting mode based on environmental conditions – IR for covert monitoring or white light for colour imaging and deterrent effects, providing maximum surveillance flexibility.
What field of view does the 2.8mm lens provide?
The 2.8mm fixed lens delivers an expansive 105° horizontal field of view, 60° vertical field of view, and 143° diagonal field of view. This ultra-wide coverage makes it perfect for monitoring large areas, car parks, building perimeters, or any application requiring comprehensive area coverage.
How does this camera differ from standard ColorVu models?
This model features Smart Hybrid Light technology with extended 40m illumination range for both IR and white light, compared to standard ColorVu cameras. It also includes built-in audio recording and 4-in-1 output compatibility, making it ideal for comprehensive audio-visual surveillance applications.
What lighting modes are available?
The camera offers Smart mode for automatic lighting selection, dedicated IR mode for covert surveillance, and white light mode for colour imaging and deterrent effects. The white light can be configured for automatic activation or manual control based on specific surveillance requirements.
Is this camera suitable for harsh outdoor environments?
Yes, the camera features IP67 weatherproof protection with plastic enclosure and metal main body construction. It operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 60°C with up to 90% humidity, ensuring dependable performance in challenging outdoor conditions.
