With 4 MP resolution at up to 60 fps, a 1/1.8” sensor, and low-light technology, the camera delivers exceptional video quality even in poor light conditions. Based on the manufacturer’s latest system-on-chip (SoC), it offers support for advanced features and applications based on deep learning on the edge. And object analytics provides highly nuanced object classification. With built-in cybersecurity features, it prevents unauthorized access and safeguards your system. This lightweight barebone unit comes without lens for maximum flexibility. It’s designed for retrofitting outdoor housing, making it easy to add deep-learning capabilities to existing installations.
