The Axis Communications M3203 Tamper-Resistant Fixed Dome Network Camera (10 Pack) uses a 1/4" CMOS chip to deliver consistently clear and sharp images at SVGA resolution. Progressive scan technology ensures smooth image capture for scenes with fast moving objects without the problems of motion blur. A number of electronic picture controls allow images to be fine tuned according to the lighting environment of the surveillance area.
Furthermore, backlight compensation adjusts video gain to correct the exposure when the object is in front of a bright light source. The white balance feature adjusts the red, green, and blue colors taking a standard white reference to get clear images. The Indoor Camera includes features such as privacy masking, text and image overlay, exposure and control.
For video compression, the M3203 Network Camera transmits multiple streams in H.264 and MJPEG video formats at either full frame rates or individually optimized for different quality needs and bandwidth constraints.
A unique feature of this camera is its pixel counter function, which calculates the number of pixels contained in a given part of the image, for example a person's face. This is an important feature for satisfying certain jurisdictions requiring proof of resolution before an image can be submitted for evidence.
Housed in a tamper-resistant casing, the Fixed Dome Camera sends alerts on tampering attempts such as blocking or spray painting the camera. Furthermore, the M3203 Camera includes intelligent capabilities such as video motion detection.
The compact Network Camera can be readily installed on a wall or on the surface of a hard or drop ceiling. An internal hinge mechanism allows quick and accurate camera positioning. The camera is powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the camera to receive power directly from its network interface, allowing it to be installed most anywhere and not only near a power supply.
The Fixed Dome Network Camera offers a wide range of optional kits for indoor installations, such as for mounting on a wall, pole, or corner, making it ideal for use in areas such as retail stores and schools.
