4K detail. Full-color visibility. Intelligent detection.

See more. Understand more.

One MEGApix camera family brings detailed imaging, built-in illumination and selectable detection capabilities to your application.

4K Resolution

Capture fine scene details for a clearer view of people, vehicles and activity across your site.

White Light LEDs

Built-in white light illumination supports full-color imaging after dark, helping preserve useful details such as clothing and vehicle colors.

Facial Recognition

Compare captured faces with an on-camera database of up to 10,000 unique faces and organize records using allow and block lists.

Video Analytics

Detect and classify objects, humans and vehicles in video analytics mode, with line crossing, perimeter intrusion and tampering detection.

Choose the mode that fits your application

Select facial recognition mode or video analytics mode. These are selectable operating modes; facial recognition and video analytics do not operate simultaneously.

Facial recognition mode

Compare faces with the internal database and organize records using allow and block lists. A dedicated microSD card is required for facial recognition and comparison; card sold separately.

Resolution + illumination

4K detail. Useful color information, day and night.

Resolution and illumination work together to make video more useful. MEGApix 4K cameras capture fine scene details, while built-in white light LEDs illuminate the monitored area to support full-color imaging after dark.

See fine scene details

High-resolution video provides a clearer view of people, vehicles and activity when operators review an event.

Keep useful color context

Clothing and vehicle colors add information that can help operators assess what happened.

Choose the right view

Bullet and vandal dome models with fixed or vari-focal lenses help you match the camera to the application. See individual model datasheets for lens specifications.

Video analytics mode

Detect activity. Understand what’s in the scene.

In video analytics mode, MEGApix 4K cameras detect and classify objects, humans and vehicles. This gives operators additional context when reviewing activity around entrances, parking areas, walkways and monitored boundaries.

Detection & Classification

Understand what the camera detects within the monitored scene. Detection and classification help operators distinguish human and vehicle activity and assess relevant events.

Line Crossing

Define a virtual line and receive alerts when it is crossed. Monitor boundaries such as entrances, walkways and vehicle access points.

Perimeter Intrusion

Define a monitored area and receive alerts when it is entered. Detection zones help operators assess activity around restricted areas and site boundaries.

Tampering Detection

Alert operators to image changes that may indicate camera interference, including blur, exposure changes or other significant disturbances.

Facial recognition mode

Recognize faces. Organize records. Review relevant video.

Compare captured faces with an on-camera database of up to 10,000 unique faces. Use allow and block lists to organize records, and compatible COVA IdentiSee or DW Spectrum search workflows to review relevant footage.

Up to 10,000 unique faces, stored on the camera

The internal database stores facial records for identification in facial recognition mode. Captured faces are stored on a dedicated microSD card for recognition and comparison with the internal database.

A dedicated microSD card is required for facial recognition and comparison; card sold separately.

Facial recognition allow and block lists

Organize facial records into allow and block lists to help operators review recognized individuals and relevant security events.

Access-control automation depends on the connected system and supported integration. Confirm compatibility and configuration requirements for your application.

Supporting image technologies

Clear detail in challenging scenes

Image processing helps operators review low-light scenes and views with a mix of bright and dark areas.

Smart DNR
(3D Digital Noise Reduction)

Reduce video noise for clearer low-light images.
