Chapter 1 Fixed IP Dome
The Fixed IP Dome is a series of indoor camera designed with 3-axis mechanism for easy and flexible installation. The Fixed IP Dome features IR LED for infrared illumination for night surveillance. The WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes containing contrasting intensity of lights. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to remotely adjust the zoom and focus through the Web interface. The super low lux models are able to display color live view in near darkness. For related models, see 1.2 Features. The models are detailed below:
