Introduction

This high denition indoor C/CS mount camera features 2.1 megapixel imaging with 1920 x 1080 resolution along with
3-dimensional Noise Reduction (3D-NR). A lens is not included.

3D-NR automatically provides a more accurate noise reduction. This is based on twice the visual information than conventional
eld-based types. The video noise is reduced by 30 % in low light for a 2 dB improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. The result is a
brighter picture with less noise, even in low light.

High denition video – HDcctv security cameras deliver true 1080p or 720p HD video, true HDTV-quality video in live and recorded
view modes.
