IR Look-Up for Day and Night

Integrated varizoom IR lights scenes in total darkness up to 200 m from the camera, with brightness that follows the zoom. The tilt range of +30° to -90° lets the camera look above the horizon, and SureVision delivers up to 130 dB WDR with anti-bloom and color down to 0.1 lux. Laser Focus Assist locks focus quickly on moving targets, even at night with headlights in the scene, and a wiper keeps the window clear in rain.

Long-Range Zoom and Fast Positioning

The 40x lens (f/2 to f/5, focal length 7 mm (wide) to 280 mm (tele)) covers 41.54° (wide) to 1.16° (tele). Direct Drive closed-loop control moves the camera at up to 450°/sec pan and 320°/sec tilt with ±0.03° preset accuracy, and supports 256 presets, 32 tours, 8 scans and 8 patterns. Optical image stabilization keeps the image steady at high zoom in high-vibration locations.

Pelco Analytics

Pelco Advanced Analytics uses AI object detection to classify people and vehicles (car, truck, bus, motorcycle and bicycle) with Zone, Counterflow and Line Counting behaviors. The Enhanced Analytics suite adds Abandoned Object, Adaptive Motion Detection, AutoTracker, Camera Sabotage, Directional Motion, Loitering Detection, Object Counting, Object Removal and Stopped Vehicle, and Pelco Camera Link pairs the camera with Pelco Optera panoramic cameras.

Cybersecurity and Integration

The camera uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2, AES 256-bit encryption, digitally signed firmware, 802.1X and a built-in firewall. It is ONVIF Profile G, M, S and T conformant and works with Pelco VideoXpert and third-party VMS, with up to 2 TB of microSD edge storage.
