VST-897EX Series: Outdoor PIR Motion Sensor Camera
The VST-897EX Series is a new-generation outdoor PIR motion sensor camera equipped with over-the-lens infrared anti-masking for higher security levels. It features Digitally Enhanced Detection Logic to further reduce false alarms compared to its predecessor. The series also supports optional AI functionality for enhanced detection precision and OTA firmware updates for remote system upgrades. The VST-897EX-Solar models integrate a solar power system that seamlessly charges the device using sunlight, offering self-sustaining energy and lower maintenance.
The device's Digitally Enhanced Detection Logic analyzes lux levels, temperature, and environmental factors to accurately distinguish between human and non-human motion, further minimizing false alarms. With optional AI functionality, it can identify captured images containing a human figure, enhancing verification accuracy. OTA firmware updates ensure the mechanism is always up-to-date without on-site maintenance. Moreover, HDR technology delivers clear, detailed images even in high-contrast lighting. The over-the-lens infrared anti-masking detects any attempt to block or tamper with the lens, while SF1 technology enables fast HD image transmission to the Control Panel for timely and reliable verification.
The sun-powered VST-897EX-Solar models feature a solar power design to efficiently harness sunlight, continuously charging the built-in battery even during operation. By delivering self-sustaining solar energy to the battery, the device reduces maintenance costs and saves energy.
