The FLEXIDOME IP turret 3000i IR is a surveillance camera that offers high-quality performance and reliable surveillance features for 24/7 monitoring. It is designed with a compact and minimalist design, making installation easy. One of the key features of this camera is Essential Video Analytics, which reinforces the concept of Intelligence at the Edge. It provides advanced video analysis capabilities, particularly suitable for controlled environments with limited detection ranges. The camera can reliably detect, track, and analyze objects, triggering alarms when predefined conditions are met. It employs a smart set of alarm rules to simplify complex tasks and minimize false alarms. Metadata is attached to the video, enabling quick retrieval of relevant images from hours of stored footage. This metadata can also be utilized for delivering irrefutable forensic evidence or optimizing business processes such as people counting or crowd density analysis. The camera incorporates a high dynamic range mode, utilizing a multiple-exposure process to capture more details in both highlights and shadows within the same scene. This allows for improved object and feature recognition, even in challenging lighting conditions, such as faces with bright backlight. The dynamic range of the camera is measured using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis according to IEC 62676 Part 5.
