Chapter 2 - Bullet Network Camera

Overview

The Brickcom Bullet SERIES is a Bullet network camera. It adopts a megapixel sensor which allows the camera to deliver extremely clear and detailed images that CCTV cameras cannot offer. To optimize use of the megapixel resolution, the Bullet SERIES uses efficient H.264/ MJPEG/ MPEG-4 codec compression to deliver dual configurable video streams simultaneously at up to 30 fps. These features make this series the perfect outdoor camera for neighborhood, school campus, and parking lot surveillance.

The Bullet SERIES has many user friendly features, such as support for DC12V power supply, Power over Ethernet enables the camera to use the same cable for power and data transmission, eliminating the need to install an external power supply.

Users do not have to worry about the data connection failing because each camera is equipped with a SD/SDHC memory card slot for local storage.

With an IP66 certified outdoor enclosure, the Bullet SERIES is not only weather proof, but also dust and rust resistant.
