2. INTRODUCTION

This WDR digital image camera uses a high sensitive color Sony 1/3” interline transfer

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensor, producing pictures reaching 650 lines of

horizontal resolution.

Super Wide Dynamic Range technology, capturing both high-luminance and low

luminance subjects under these type of shooting conditions. 3-D Noise Reduction

technology, automatic reduce noise at low light environment, clear picture quality saving

90% hard disk storage space of DVR when using MPEG/ MPEG4/ H.264 compression

after noise reduction. The camera-side initiatively provides mobile detection warnings

offering more comprehensive monitoring of safety protection. Careful planed privacy

zone enables monitoring more at ease.
