Line crossing

Once a pre-defined line is crossed from either direction, an event notification will be sent.

Perimeter intrusion

Once a pre-defined area is set, any crossing of the lines towards the area, out of the area, or both, will trigger an alarm.

Video tampering detection – abnormal color detection

When the camera’s color reproduction is changed, an event notification will be sent.

Video tampering detection – scene change

When the camera is moved, and the Field of View (FoV) is different, an event notification will be sent.

Video tampering detection – video blur

When a sudden blur or loss in visibility is detected, an event notification will be sent.

Smart IR™

Smart IR™ adjusts the image for IR cameras to prevent excessive illumination on objects that are in the front of the scene and offers a clear image in B/W without any loss of detail.

True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Cameras with True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology have advanced sensors that can process a wider range of lighting, dark and bright in the same image.

H.265 codec support

High-Efficiency video codec standards deliver 25% to 50% better data compression while maintaining video quality.
