easy cable management
Power over Ethernet
With Power over Ethernet (PoE), you only need to connect your Ethernet cable to power your PoE security cameras. Data also travels both ways through an Ethernet cable, PoE software not only sends data and commands to devices, but it also collects data. This gives you flexibility to install your security cameras almost anywhere you want, without the extra worries of keeping them plugged in nearby electrical outlets.

4x Optical Zoom & 20x Digital Zoom
This security camera has digital zoom available when used with our security NVR recorders and is actually useful for HD security cameras with resolutions of 1080P and higher. Because of the higher the resolution of the camera and the better the quality of the digital zoom, 5MP resolution security footage is the most detailed.
Optical zoom provides the best quality of zoom as it is like using a pair of binoculars to see farther away. With optical zoom cameras, the lens inside the camera actually needs to move to provide zoom.
While digital zoom can be done after video has been recorded, optical zoom needs to be executed or set in live video at the actual moment the incident of interest happens.
ENHANCE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE
2.8mm-12mm Varifocal lens
A 2.8~12mm Manual Zoom Varifocal Lens offers much more flexibility than cameras with a fixed lens and allows you to adjust the angle of view between 125 degrees to 37 degrees.
A smaller lens value shows a shorter viewing distance with a wider field of view angle; a larger lens value allows for a further viewing distance but a narrower field of view angle.

Excellent Day and Night Vision
GW’s high-quality LEDs allow these HD IP cameras to see up to 130ft in complete darkness for 24-hour-a-day protection. GW Cameras use the latest high intensity IR LED technologies for maximum coverage. The image shown is an actual capture from a 5MP camera in total darkness.
IR range and image quality can be affected by surfaces that absorb or reflect the IR light differently when in total darkness. Camera location or position may need to be adjusted to optimize the images. Some ambient lighting provides the best results for night surveillance.

An IP66-rated security camera has a rugged design and durable construction that’s rated for general outdoor use. An IP66-rated camera offers excellent performance even in harsh conditions such as: Dust storms, Wind, rain, sleet, even blowing snow. What performance specs can you count on from an IP66 standardized rating? You can count on an IP66 to provide the following:
Level 6 Dust Protection: The highest level of dust protection, with no intrusion of dust whatsoever permitted.
Level 6 Water Protection: The third-highest level of water protection, impervious to precipitation or hose-directed water streams, blowing snow and sleet.
Johan Cos (verified owner) –
For the price, I feel this is an excellent camera model. I’m using these for replacing a legacy COAX setup at my company, doing all the work in-house.
We’re using Synology Surveillance Station on our Diskstation, and these cameras work perfectly with it.
Some feedback:
– The installation is easy once you know what you’re doing, but I really wish they would offer documentation for how to do it, especially how the lens adjustments work. All they include is instructions for configuring the software. That being said, I reached out to their support and they very quickly sent me some rough documentation they had made. Still, I think this could be a big improvement for them.
– The optics are very good, with the varifocal lens, you can can dial in your FOV just right. Having to do so manually is a bit less convenient than PTZ, but ultimately I don’t think it would have made sense for my company to pay for cameras with motorized lenses when we could just manually position them once.
– The “live cam” frontend is very weird with performance. We started connecting them to the DVR system and then using the live view from there, because the built-in frontend lags like crazy. This isn’t a big issue to me, but it does feel like an area for improvement.
