Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the PTZ 2MP 30x HDR in-ceiling

The camera utilizes starlight technology and a 120dB High Dynamic Range (HDR) to provide clear, full-color images even in near darkness or highly overexposed situations. Additionally, a high-resolution bubble ensures maximum effective resolution output, so operators maintain visual intelligence and capture critical details with confidence.

It features built-in Essential Video Analytics, which provides reliable detection for commercial buildings, retail stores, and warehouses. This built-in intelligence enables advanced tasks like loitering detection, crowd density estimation, and people counting, helping teams move from simple detection to real-time understanding.

Designed for quick deployment, the camera supports flexible in-ceiling or pendant mounting options. The installation concept allows a single person to connect field cables directly without re-routing. Furthermore, a simplified calibration mode means you only need to enter the installation height once to configure the video analytics.

By combining H.265 high-efficiency video encoding with Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction, the camera reduces bit rate by up to 80 percent. Intelligent streaming ensures that only relevant information—such as motion or specific objects detected by the analytics—is encoded, significantly lowering bandwidth consumption without compromising image clarity.

The system is secure by design, featuring an on-board Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support to protect against malicious attacks. Network access is secured via the 802.1x protocol, and administrators can enable software sealing to prevent unauthorized configuration changes, ensuring video data remains trusted.
