The MIC Series 400 Infrared camera has been
designed to offer an extremely reliable, robust, and
high quality surveillance solution for security
applications that demand the very best performance —
both during the day and at night. Precision engineered
to exacting standards, the range offers numerous
benefits over the use of traditional dome and PTZ
cameras, and comes with a variety of options in order
to offer a best-fit solution for virtually any application.
Rated to an industry leading IP68, the vandal-resistant
machined camera housing is suitable for installation in
the harshest of environments. Machined from solid
aluminum, the MIC Series 400 infra-red cameras
ensure corrosion protection by using two different
processes; first an Alodine® 5200™coating, then a
robust powder paint coating. Alodine 5200 is a
chromium free product and specifically formulated for
treating non-ferrous alloys. Sealed with 'O'-rings, the
MIC Series infra-red camera can operate submerged
up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) underwater by virtue of its
design and construction. The optically-perfect flat
viewing window and integrated long-life silicone wiper
ensure razor sharp images are captured in even the
most demanding conditions.

u Multi-protocol operation
The twin integrated, long-life, LED Infrared lamps
ensure clear illumination of the camera view to 55 m
(180 ft) in total darkness, ensuring high quality images
regardless of the lighting conditions.
Brushless motor technology ensures ultra-reliable,
whisper-quiet operation. Groundbreaking resolver
technology provides pinpoint accuracy and affords the
user full 360° continuous rotation pan and 186.6° tilt
control.
A choice of true day/night camera modules offering up
to 36x optical zoom (12x digital) are available,
providing 470 TVL NTSC/PAL typical (18x module) or
530 TVL NTSC/PAL typical (36x module). Preset
positions, preset tours, and random tours ensure
flexible surveillance options.
The unique camera module preset function allows the
module itself to be mapped to a preset button on the
remote keyboard. This, for example, allows the camera
to be set up for overview purposes and then, at the
press of a button, to be used for Automatic Number
Plate Recognition (ANPR). The flexible mounting
options allow the camera to be installed upright,
inverted, or canted to achieve the perfect field of view.

Functions
Twin integrated IR illuminators
Two 850 nm IR illuminators are attached directly to
the camera head to provide IR light exactly where it is
needed.
Brushless motor technology
Ultra-reliable brushless motors provide whisper-quiet
operation and smooth control.
Host of mounting and viewing options
Faultless operation, either upright or inverted, gives
the user a host of mounting and viewing possibilities.
A canted option is provided for upright pole-mounted
applications, allowing the base of the pole to be
viewed.
Integrated wiper
Rain or shine, regardless of the weather the
MIC Series 400 Infra-red camera is able to capture the
highest possible quality image all year round thanks to
its integrated long-life silicone wiper.
Multi-protocol operation
Compatible with virtually any control equipment
available today, the MIC Series 400 Infra-red camera
will seamlessly integrate with the vast majority of
security systems.
Suitable for virtually any application
The versatility of the MIC Series 400 Infra-red camera
makes it suitable for numerous applications, such as:
• General CCTV
• Town centers
• Railway and bus stations
• Rapid deployment
• High security
• Prestigious developments
• Architectural
