The MIC IP starlight 7100i camera is an advanced PTZ surveillance platform for mission-critical applications. With starlight imaging technology and excellent lowlight sensitivity, the camera is the perfect solution for robust and high-quality imaging needs. The camera's ruggedized design meets customer expectations in demanding environments that exceed the capabilities of conventional IP cameras. Even in installations subject to harsh shock/vibration conditions and/or extreme weather, the camera provides high-quality video images. H.265 high-efficiency video encoding The camera is designed on the most efficient and powerful H.264 and H.265/HEVC encoding platform. The camera is capable of delivering high-quality and high-resolution video with very low network load. Intelligent streaming Smart encoding capabilities, together with Intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction technology and analytics, reduce the bandwidth consumption to extremely low levels. Only relevant information in the scene, like motion, or objects found with the analytics, need to be encoded. Pan and tilt drive mechanism The pan and tilt mechanism is a ruggedized, direct-drive system. The brushless motors directly control the pan and tilt movement using a finely-tuned gear train designed to minimize backlash and support continuous operation without significant wear and tear. Video analytics while camera is moving Outside of pre-positions and even while the PTZ camera is moving, whether on guard tours or manually, the Intelligent Video Analytics application can detect and start alarms when objects are in alarm fields. These alarm fields are defined once across all PTZ camera views. The camera can automatically trigger an alarm if any part of a field within the camera's view becomes active while on a guard tour sweeping across the monitored areas.
