Stop Intruders Before They Trespass

Along with its many other technological enhancements, the ECL-5HIM dome camera is equipped with a bright white deterrence LED that can be set to a flashing state (or turned off). This bright "strobe" makes the camera impossible to overlook, especially at night. It also doubles as a power indicator and can draw attention to your business or location at night. When would-be criminals realize a building or room has CCTV cameras, they are likely to look elsewhere for an easier target.

This infrared equipped dome camera has a varifocal lens coupled with a high resolution video sensor that work together to provide a crisp, sharp image at 540 TV lines. 

"IR mode" is automatic and turns on when the light level drops to a preset threshold. The infrared LEDs turn on and the camera switches to IR mode. This camera has two enhancements that protect video quality at this time - SMART LED control and a mechanical IR filter.

SMART LED Control

SMART LED control is built into the camera's video processing chipset. It detects the amount of infrared light on the subject and turns IR LEDS on/off as necessary to keep video quality high. To little or too much IR (washout) is never a problem with this camera.

Mechanical IR Filter

When a camera switches between normal mode and IR mode the wavelength of light reaching the camera optics changes. This wavelength alteration causes a phenomenon known as "focus shift" and manifests itself as a slightly out-of-focus image. By employing a mechanical IR filter focus shift is corrected.
