● Transfer Video Interface

The combination of a 2MP CMOS image sensor and TVI DSP provides an excellent resolution of TVI picture.

● 3D-DNR

Smart 3DNR prevents the image blurring of moving object and activates only if moving objects are appearing on the scene.

Smart-IR

No saturation image, vivid image in darkness! "TVI" camera makes very sharp video image in darkness! This technology eliminates saturation of video image of the closer object in darkness by control of the IR sensitivity. Saturation never happens in our "TVI" cameras, you can enjoy vivid image in any dark condition!

● Sens-Up

Despite a limited & low light condition, Sens-Up - Max. x32 helps the viewer to get visible and clear images.

- Defog

Defog function improve the clarity of images taken in poor conditions such as fog, smoke, rain or snow.

● WDR

A powerful and advanced technology that captures clean and superior high resolution picture even where images appear dark and strong back light.

● CVBS (Composite Video Blanking and Sync)

TV system is switchable 'NTSC' or 'PAL' with built-in OSD.

● Intelligent Function

An extra ordinary technology enables TVI camera become an ultimate and of solution by providing intelligent features based on motion detection. It strengthens crime prevention and detection.
