Overview of the JVC VN-H657BU
This product has now been discontinued, an alternative is the Panasonic WV-SC588
Indoor, high-spec PTZ speed dome combining HD 1080p resolution with 18x optical zoom offering fast and accurate pan-tilt-zoom control and excellent image detail at long range. Well-featured including advanced auto object tracking with 360° continuous rotation, true day/night capability and high light sensitivity for 24/7 CCTV operation.
The JVC VN-H657BU indoor PTZ dome network camera offers advanced surveillance with a fast and accurate direct drive 360° pan and tilt with 18x optical zoom for detailed large area coverage in HD 1080p at 30 frames per second. True day/night functionality in combination with Super LoLux and 3D noise reduction technology make the VN-H657BU provide optimum low light video footage, enabling high quality performance in full colour down to 0.35 lux. When darkness falls an infrared cut-filter automatically switches the camera from colour to black and white improving low light performance to just 0.04 lux, making the camera suitable for 24/7 high-level surveillance. Infrared sensitive, the VN-H657BU can also be used with IR illuminators (not included) enabling CCTV monitoring in complete darkness.
Further, the JVC VN-H657BU provides reliable surveillance by triggering alarms to alert operators of activity identified through the detection of tampering, sound or motion, whilst the auto-tracking feature assists with capturing an individual or moving object by following it automatically. Audio communication support enables the camera to record sound when a microphone and speaker are connected (not included). This enhances the recorded evidence and usefulness of the footage. Privacy masking enables to select areas of the camera's view to be blocked from being watched or recorded.
H.264 High Profile compresses video data whilst maintaining high image quality, reducing bandwidth usage and providing efficient data storage. Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) supplies power to the camera through the network cable, reducing time and cost of installation. On-board recording onto a SD card (card sold separately) ensures a back up is available for when interruptions occur on network.
Please note: this camera does not come with a PoE+ midspan, please select a power supply from the above drop down menu if required.
