Overview

The TruVision™ line from GE Security includes a comprehensive family of infrared (IR) cameras for stand­alone or basic integrated installations that are flexible and scalable to accommodate future growth.
Ideal for surveillance system installations ranging from convenience stores to retail mall parking lots, the
TruVision IR line has the right cameras for your job and can help you stay within budget constraints without
compromising security needs.

These flexible cameras can see in total darkness, providing color images by day and black-and-white
images under IR operation in low-light applications. Form factors include omni-directional dome and
traditional bullet cameras. Dome models allow for ceiling or wall mounting while still maintaining a level field
of view. Single gang adaptor plates are included with the MR and HR dome models, while the bullet models
offer a familiar form factor that can also be ceiling or wall mounted. TruVision IR dome and bullet cameras
are also available in fixed lens and varifocal lens models.

Best of all, the TruVision IR line of cameras is backed by a two-year warranty, valid from the original
purchase date. For superior quality and performance, GE Security delivers the level of products you expect
from a leader in the video surveillance market.

Standard Features

• Balanced IR illumination for optimal viewing in low- to
no-light environments

• Dome and bullet form factors provide flexible installation
options and ensure the right camera for the job

• Up to IP67 ratings for weather-resistant performance
(depending on model)

functionality, the TruVision IR line provides a value­based solution that is ideal for applications ranging from

environments, TruVision cameras’ balanced IR capabilities
and multiple resolution options offer the perfect camera

• Flexible resolutions from 380 TVL to 530 TVL so you can
