    PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1. Key Features Exceptional Images This camera employs a 5MP CMOS sensor that quadruples sensitivity without blurring. The camera’s technology provides picture with greater detail even the most difficult lighting conditions. It delivers crisp images that are perfect for object- and person-recognition. Smart focus A built-in nine-point focus indicator enables the camera to focus precisely and automatically on objects, relieving users of the need to adjust the focus manually. Powerful IR Illuminator The powerful IR illuminator lights objects evenly, reducing image noise and storage requirements. The IR illuminator activates automatically when the lighting dims to less than 10 lux. In night mode, the illuminator enables the camera to capture images at 0 lux. ICR Day/Night Switching The camera incorporates a mechanical ICR filter to capture perfect pictures at any light level.
