The DCS-3415 network camera is ideal for high-end surveillance and security applications. The progressive scan sensor and 18 x optical zoom lens captures vivid images in MPEG-4 format. The built-in auto-iris feature and a removable IR-cut filter make this camera suitable for 24-hour surveillance. An RS-485 port and a DC12V jack allow the DCS-3415 to cooperate with external devices such as an IR illuminator or scanner. Its PoE ability allows a single cable to connect and power it. The unique outer metal ring represents a safe environment and not just a "secured space". Discreet looks and the two-tone design further brand the camera.
