4. Key Features

4.1 4G LTE Connectivity (No Wi-Fi Required)

The camera's integrated 4G LTE module allows it to operate independently of a Wi-Fi network. This makes it ideal for remote locations such as construction sites, warehouses, farms, parking lots, and areas prone to illegal dumping where Wi-Fi access is unavailable.

4.2 AI Human Detection and Auto Tracking

Equipped with advanced AI human detection technology, the camera accurately identifies human shapes, significantly reducing false alarms caused by animals, vehicles, or environmental factors like leaves. When a human is detected, the camera can automatically track their movement within the surveillance area.

4.3 Color Night Vision and Siren Alarm

The camera features both infrared (black and white) and full-color night vision modes. In low-light conditions, it can automatically switch to color night vision (up to 10m) using its high-brightness LEDs, providing clearer images. It also includes a customizable siren alarm and light alarm that can be triggered upon motion detection to deter intruders. You can customize the siren sound via the app, for example, to a dog barking sound.
