Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution does the camera record at?
It records up to 8MP at 3840 × 2160 at 20 fps. For smoother motion, you can also use 2688 × 1520 at 25 or 30 fps.

How far can it see in the dark?
Both the infrared and warm white lights reach up to 30 metres, so dark driveways and yards stay covered.

Does the camera detect people and vehicles?
Yes, the WizSense AI classifies people and vehicles for the tripwire and intrusion functions. Additionally, SMD Plus filters out minor movement to reduce false alarms.

Which memory cards does it support?
Storage supports a microSD card of up to 256GB. Because the camera uses Smart H.265+ compression, you also fit more days of footage on the same card.

Can the camera run on PoE?
PoE (802.3af) powers the camera through a single network cable, though a 12V DC supply also works. With a maximum draw of just 5.9W, your running costs stay low.
