5. Operating Instructions
5.1. 360° Coverage and Dual Screen Monitoring
The camera offers a 360° panoramic view with its dual-lens system. The fixed lens provides a static overview, while the PTZ lens can be controlled via the app for 355° horizontal rotation and 90° vertical rotation. This allows for comprehensive monitoring and the ability to focus on specific areas.
Figure 5.1: The camera provides 360° coverage. You can define a surveillance point, and the camera will automatically return to that position after tracking. The dual screen displays more details.
Video 5.1: This video demonstrates the camera's dual-screen monitoring capabilities, showing both a wide-angle view and a zoomed-in, controllable PTZ view simultaneously within the app interface.
5.2. Night Vision Modes
The camera offers three night vision modes to suit different monitoring needs:
- Full Color Night Vision: Provides clear, colored images even in low-light conditions.
- Infrared Night Vision: Standard black and white night vision for discreet monitoring.
- Dual Light Alarm Mode: Combines infrared with white light illumination upon detection, providing color images and acting as a deterrent.
