40x Optical zoom

The optical zoom lens uses internal glass elements to bring an image up to 40x closer, allowing the magnified image to be recorded at full resolution.

Clear Images with Endless 360-Views

DW’s IP PTZ cameras keep track of events and image orientation with an endless 360-degree movement. The technology results in powerful, high-quality image in all directions, above, as well as below the horizon.

1148ft Smart IR™ illumination

DW’s IP PTZ cameras have Smart IR LEDs built-in that provide illumination up to 1148ft (350m) from the camera, delivering clear images and details for both objects in the camera’s foreground and deep into the background.

Designed for Extreme

DW’s PTZ cameras are robust and built to withstand extreme conditions. They are ideal for large open surveillance, such as train stations, airports, city surveillance and large parking lots, with quick pan/tilt/zoom response and visual verification. With IP66-rated, IK10 impact-resistant hardware, DW’s PTZ cameras will operate under harsh conditions and resist impact and potential sabotage.

Up to 100° Tilting Angle

The camera’s tilting capabilities allow it to cover up to 10° below the horizon line. The result is up to 100° tilting angle, covering any blind spots in the far background, with no image distortion.

Star-Light Plus™ color in darkness technology

Star-Light Plus™ color in near-total darkness technology provides crisp, clear images in the absence of ambient light.

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.
