Chapter 2 - Bullet Series Network Camera
Overview
The Brickcom Bullet Series is a Bullet network camera. It adopts a megapixel sensor
which allows the camera to deliver extremely clear and detailed images that CCTV
cameras cannot offer. To optimize use of the megapixel resolution, the Bullet Series
uses efficient H.264/ MJPEG/ MPEG-4 codec compression to deliver dual configurable
video streams simultaneously at up to 30 fps. These features make the Bullet Series
the perfect outdoor camera for neighborhood, school campus, and parking lot
surveillance.
The Bullet Series has many user friendly features, such as support for DC12V power
supply, and Power over Ethernet which enables the camera to use the same cable for
power and data transmission, eliminating the need to install an external power supply.
With an IP66 certified outdoor enclosure, the Bullet Series is not only water proof, but
also dust proof.
