Superior image quality

These AI-powered block cameras offer great image quality in up to 8 MP and ensure the required pixel density for high-performing analytics. Thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, they deliver true colors and great forensic detail in challenging light or near darkness. Electronic image stabilization (EIS) helps deliver stable video despite vibration. Plus, scene profiles and auto-rotate functionality ensure optimal coverage and always great image quality. Furthermore, the series features 1/1.2" sensor cameras for consistent low-light performance and a choice of wide or tele lens for wide-area surveillance or detailed, long-distance views.
