The camera supports two-way audio with specialised noise-cancelling technology, enhanced full-colour night vision, and a dual motion sensor system. It is designed for wall mounting, is UV resistant and is available in black or white finishes.

Advantages

4K resolution captures four times more detail than standard HD, enabling clear zoomed-in views of faces and objects without distortion. Enhanced full-colour night vision preserves colour detail in low light. The 180° field of view and 12x digital zoom provide broad coverage with the ability to inspect distant areas. Built-in noise-cancelling audio improves two-way conversations by reducing wind and traffic noise, while the dual motion sensor increases detection sensitivity across multiple angles. Wireless connectivity and outdoor-rated construction simplify installation and long-term use.
