Eight megapixels of 4K detail on a fixed 4.2 mm lens, in a dome rated IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X. That rating stack is the reason to reach for this one: it survives weather, deliberate impact and the washdown or corrosive environments that kill an ordinary dome.
Built for the commercial installer
The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor with VividNight is what separates this from a generic PoE camera. At 0.02 lux it holds colour where an ordinary camera has already flipped to monochrome, which means a car or a jacket is still identifiable by colour under car park lighting rather than becoming a grey shape. IR carries it the rest of the way to 40 metres in full darkness.
NDAA Section 889 compliant alongside FCC, IC, RCM, CE Class B and UL, so it clears the procurement language that rules out most competitively priced cameras. Analytics run on the camera rather than on a server, and footage can go to onboard microSD with Smart View, to an Alarm.com SVR or CSVR, or both.
Two-way audio works from the built-in microphone for the listen side. Talk-down needs an external speaker, and line-in or line-out requires the ADC-VACC-AO-015 accessory, so budget that in if the site expects operator audio.
Key features
- 4K detail on a fixed lens for a consistent scene that does not drift out of adjustment
- VividNight holds colour to 0.02 lux, so identification survives after dark
- 131 ft (40 m) IR for full-darkness coverage of yards and car parks
- IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X covering weather, impact and washdown environments
- NDAA Section 889 compliant for federal, state and education work
- Onboard microSD plus SVR recording, so footage survives a network outage
System requirements
Requires IEEE 802.3af Type 1 PoE and an active Alarm.com for Business commercial video plan. There is no 12V DC input, so plan a PoE switch or injector with budget for the stated draw. The camera is purpose-built for Alarm.com for Business and does not enroll in third-party VMS platforms.
