Important Notice: When powering the camera using a CCTV tester, you must connect the power via the Test Port adapter power connection – not the pigtail. In addition, the Test Port adapter power connection for this camera only uses a 12 V DC power supply. Using a 24 V AC, or other voltage power supply with the Test Port Adapter will result in damage to the camera, and possibly the power supply.

Power supplies are not included with cameras.

For compatible models, choose any of our 12V and 24V power supplies.

Auto Iris Lens
A built-in motor controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s imaging sensor, allowing it to adjust to get the best picture possible in any condition. Ideal for indoor and outdoor situations where lighting conditions vary and there’s a lot of natural light.

D-WDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
Provides clearer images and even lighting in applications that are simultaneously both bright and dark. This is particularly useful in areas with windows and lots of natural light.

Backlight Compensation (BLC)
Reduces silhouetting so you see foreground subjects clearly when positioned in front of a bright background light source.

Highlight Compensation (HLC)
Don’t get blinded by the light! By blocking headlights and other intensely bright areas, contrast is dramatically improved for critical areas of the image.

True Day/Night (IR Cut Filter)
For more accurate, vivid color reproduction during daytime use, an IR Cut filter is automatically moved over the lens to block unwanted IR. At night, the filter is removed to deliver maximum visibility and clear IR illumination.

Smart IR
Automatically adjusts the amount of IR LED intensity to eliminate over-exposure and evenly illuminate the subject.

2D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
A powerful digital signal processor (DSP) intelligently scans the image and reduces noise in low-lux conditions for a cleaner, crisper image.

Privacy Masking
Block out sensitive or privileged areas by placing rectangular blocks or « masks » over installer-defined areas.
