ColorVu PT camera, which in short means that it can be rotated and tilted (turned), and that it can see in color around the clock.

This camera:
This is a camera for those who want to be able to operate/control their ColorVu camera (read more about the ColorVu concept below). It has excellent light sensitivity, EXIR technology, which ensures minimal maintenance and 30 meters of self-illumination. Note that in the ColoVu series the light is visible, white light. The camera is simply connected to a PoE switch, PoE injector, 12v power supply or a recorder with PoE outputs. The camera has a 1/1.8" Progressive Scan CMOS image sensor - that's good ;)

Microphone:
The camera has a built-in microphone, which makes it possible not only to hear on the phone/tablet/computer what is happening, but also to have audio recorded so that they can be played back later. The microphone can of course be turned off if you don't want to use it.

Speaker:
The camera also has a built-in speaker

Inputs and outputs:
The camera has both an alarm input, which can be used to activate the camera under certain conditions. It could, for example, be in accordance with GDPR in a sports hall, that the camera only records when the alarm is activated or that it sends a push message when an AIR fence (laser fence) is broken. Output means the opposite, namely that the camera can activate other external equipment, e.g. a lamp or gate if a car crosses a line in the wrong direction or stays in an area for too long (Intrusion detection)

AcuSense and deep learning:
But it doesn't end there, it also has the AcuSense algorithm, which means that the camera also has some pretty cool analyzes that are included as standard and are free to use. The analyzes are i.a. classification of people and vehicles. The AcuSense alarms can be used both to activate functions in the camera itself, as well as in the recorder it is connected to.

The advantage of ColorVu
The ColorVu series is one of the best camera series for the price. What makes the surveillance camera different from other cameras is the light sensitivity, which is really impressive. Unlike conventional surveillance cameras, the camera's own lighting is visible, whereas on others it is IR (InfraRed approx. 850nm). The visible light makes the cameras draw attention to themselves, as the light shines into the eyes and therefore has a very preventive effect. Another advantage of the visible white light is that they can also act as additional light on the building.

Assembly
The camera can be mounted on vertical surfaces, such as walls, posts etc. The bracket is permanently mounted on the camera, so you do not have to buy a separate bracket, as for most other PTZ cameras. Cable assemblies can be stored inside the bracket.

*The camera does not have optical zoom, only 16x digital zoom.
