- Business entrances, loading bays and staffed parking areas
- Rural and remote properties where rugged hardware and efficient storage matter
- Small commercial sites that need actionable smart alerts rather than a flood of false alarms
Installation & configuration tips
-
Pick the right lens: Use 2.8 mm for wide coverage (short distance) or 4 mm for longer, narrower views.
-
Prefer PoE: Power over Ethernet simplifies outdoor installs — single cable for power and data.
-
Event-triggered white light: Configure white-light triggers for events to get colour evidence and act as a deterrent.
-
Firmware & credentials: Update firmware after install and use strong admin passwords.
-
Mounting position: Mount under eaves or with a small sun/shield if the camera faces direct harsh sunlight.
Common questions
- Can this camera record colour at night?
- Yes — the hybrid-light system combines white light and IR to preserve colour details in low light while also offering infrared coverage when required.
- Will it work with my NVR or VMS?
- The camera is ONVIF compatible and supports common streaming protocols; confirm your NVR/VMS supports 4 MP and the chosen codec (H.265/H.264).
- Is it suitable for outdoor South African conditions?
- Yes — metal housing, IP67 rating and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for most outdoor installations across South Africa.
Safety & maintenance
- Use weather-proof PoE injectors or IP-rated power supplies for outdoor setups.
- Periodically check seals and mounting brackets; clean the lens cover with a soft cloth to preserve image quality.
- Keep firmware up to date and restrict camera access with strong passwords and network segmentation.
