FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between the “S(L)” and “RB” variants?
A: The “RB” suffix usually indicates a red/blue strobe version, while the “S(L)” model uses a standard strobe (often white). Functionally, both provide the same deterrent features.
Q: Can this camera record in complete darkness?
A: Yes. Its 0.001 Lux sensitivity and infrared range of up to 40 metres enable clear night-time monitoring.
Q: Is it compatible with my existing NVR?
A: Yes. It supports ONVIF Profiles S, T and G, making it compatible with most Hikvision and third-party NVRs.
Q: How does the strobe and siren work?
A: They can activate automatically when a human or vehicle intrusion is detected by its AcuSense AI engine.
Q: How weatherproof is the camera?
A: The IP67 rating ensures dust-tight and water-resistant performance from –30 °C to +60 °C.
Q: What storage options are available?
A: Supports microSD cards up to 512 GB and network storage via NFS or SMB/CIFS.
