Important Operational Notes

✔ The 6.3–13 mm lens is best suited for wide-to-medium surveillance coverage rather than extreme long-distance monitoring.

✔ Recording 4K video at 50/60 fps can create significant bandwidth and storage requirements.

✔ Network and recording infrastructure should be sized according to resolution, frame rate, compression, retention period and scene activity.

✔ Built-in IR supports surveillance in darkness, but actual performance depends on target distance, scene reflectivity, weather and installation position.

✔ Electronic Image Stabilization can help improve usable footage in installations affected by vibration or movement.

✔ Analytics performance depends on target size, camera angle, lighting, scene complexity and configuration.

✔ A compatible PoE Class 4 network switch, injector or power source should be used.

✔ Memory card capacity and endurance should be selected according to recording bitrate and retention requirements.
