Network cameras and PTZ

One range, Lite to Ultra.

Fixed cameras from 2MP to 6MP, plus speed domes from 4X to 33X optical zoom.

Pick the build, then the lens

The three builds differ in sensor and low-light behaviour more than in resolution. The domes differ in zoom and in how they get power.

LiteLite series

Flashing red and blue warning light with human detection, for entrances and small yards.

M2J, L2K
ProPro series

Real WDR on a 6MP sensor with smart hybrid light, for gates facing the sun.

M6J, L6K
UltraUltra series

Full color night vision with hybrid light, for sites that cannot light the perimeter.

Where a sheet does not state a value the cell stays empty. Ask me for the PDF before you specify.

Why the zoom number is not the distance

A 20X dome sees further than a 4X dome, but not twenty times further. What actually limits you is pixels on target, and that has three inputs.

01Focal length, not the multiple

The 20X dome uses 4.7-103.4mm. At the long end it puts roughly twenty times more pixels on a face than at the wide end.

02Sensor and pixel size

A 1080P sensor at the same focal length shows fewer pixels per metre than a 4K one, and that is the cost you trade for light.

03The air in between

Dust, heat haze and rain cut recognition distance long before the optics do. Test at the hour you actually care about.

Specifying a camera without a survey

What to send me so the quote comes back usable.

  • Distance in metres from camera to the closest and furthest point you must identify.
  • Light at night: none, street light, or floodlight, and whether you can add light.
  • Mount: wall, pole, parapet, or solar, and whether the cable run has power.
  • Recording: recorder model or VMS, and the retention you need in days.
