The EverFocus EDN850H Outdoor Day/Night Network Camera is an advanced IP camera with a weather and vandal resistant dome enclosure. Video can be captured using the H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG compression schemes at frame rates of up to 30 FPS at D1 resolution. Up to 4 video streams can be sent simultaneously, with each video stream independently adjustable for frame rates and resolution to suit various recording and viewing requirements.
A built-in memory card slot can be used for local storage as well as to maintain recording functionality during a network failure. An internal motion detection function, adjustable for size and sensitivity, can be used to trigger recording to the SD card or to a PC's hard drive. Motion detection events can also be sent over the network in the form of an email alert along with an attached image of the affected scene.
The EDN850H utilizes a Sony Super HAD CCD to deliver clear and bright images of the surveillance area. In low light levels, the camera activates its Day/Night function to achieve a 0.002 ultra low lux sensitivity (sens-up 128x) level. Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) is also employed by the camera to reduce noise in the picture, in particular for low light scenes. Because noise is construed as data by the camera, DNR, by removing this information, reduces storage requirements by up to 70 percent.
Included with the camera is EverFocus' NeVio Express software for managing the viewing and recording of up to 16 NeVio series IP cameras. This user-friendly software offers, among other features, simultaneous live viewing/playback/recording, remote alarm/event management, and the ability to record to a local PC.
PoE technology makes it possible to power the camera via its Ethernet cable, eliminating the need to have an AC outlet close to the installation point. There's also an auxiliary BNC analog output for monitoring on site camera and lens adjustments. A built-in microphone along with audio I/O ports can be used for monitoring sound and for 2-way voice communication over the network.
