Description:  

 
The CDIH226VIRF dome  camera provides 

high quality video with (1080p) 2.0  mega 

pixel resolution. The Remote Focus 

capability allows you to optically zoom and 

fine-focus the camera over the network, 
eliminating the need to use two installers to 

hand-focus the camera.  The IP66 

weatherproof rating makes this bullet camera 

suitable for outdoor applications such as gas 

stations, retail parking lots and many others. 
Costar Video’s IP cameras are compatible 

with the iNEX user interface platform. The 

iNEX user interface incorporates features 

such as simplified user management, 

advanced camera mapping and logical 
camera grouping making it easier to monitor 

and access each of your cameras. The iNEX 

user interface also has the ability to integrate 

both analog and IP camera technology on 

the same platform allowing you to have a 
diverse surveillance system. Costar Video’s 

IP cameras are OnVIF supported. The 

industry standard OnVIF protocol makes  it 

easy to integrate Costar branded IP cameras 

with OnVIF compatible recorders.
