Key Features
Product Description
Many surveillance cameras perform well during the day but struggle when lighting conditions become unpredictable. Entrances, storefronts, parking facilities, and building access points often contain bright sunlight, shadows, vehicle headlights, and changing environmental conditions that can make important details difficult to capture.
The DWC-VSTB04Bi is designed specifically for these challenging environments. Equipped with True WDR 120dB technology, the camera helps maintain balanced image exposure in scenes containing both bright and dark areas. Whether monitoring a backlit entrance or a loading dock with varying lighting conditions, the camera delivers more usable video evidence throughout the day.
At night, Smart IR technology provides up to 100 feet of infrared illumination while automatically adjusting intensity to reduce overexposure when subjects move closer to the camera. This helps maintain image clarity and facial visibility without requiring additional lighting.
Beyond image quality, the camera includes intelligent video analytics such as line crossing detection, perimeter intrusion monitoring, and video tampering alerts. Combined with built-in audio recording, local edge storage, ONVIF compatibility, and DW Spectrum® integration, the DWC-VSTB04Bi offers a reliable surveillance solution for commercial and professional security applications.
