Advanced AI Detection for Accurate Alerts

The S245’s Human & Vehicle Classification technology distinguishes between people, vehicles, and other objects, significantly reducing false alarms. When movement is detected, the camera’s Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) system can identify line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit, and even abnormal sounds. This means you’ll only receive notifications that matter, whether you’re monitoring a driveway, warehouse entrance, or retail floor.

All-Weather Performance with True WDR

Built to withstand UK conditions, the camera’s IP67 waterproof rating and IK10 vandal-resistant housing protect against rain, dust, and impacts. True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology ensures clear footage even in challenging lighting conditions, such as bright sunlight streaming through doorways or shadows cast by trees. The metal housing remains operational from -30°C to +60°C, making it suitable for year-round outdoor installation.

Crystal Clear Imaging Day and Night

With a 2.8mm fixed focal length lens providing a 110° horizontal field of view, the 4MP CMOS sensor captures detailed footage across a wide area. Smart IR technology automatically adjusts infrared illumination to prevent overexposure, maintaining clear visibility up to 64 metres at night. The camera’s 0 lux minimum illumination capability means it can see in complete darkness, while 3D Digital Noise Reduction ensures footage remains sharp and clear.

Flexible Installation and Remote Management

The ceiling-mounted dome design allows for discreet installation in various locations, with a tilt angle range of 0-75° for optimal positioning. Both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 12V DC power options provide installation flexibility without requiring separate power cables. Remote viewing is supported through web browsers and mobile apps, with secure HTTPS encryption and password protection keeping your footage private. The camera also features a built-in siren for immediate audible alerts when needed.
