Section 1: Product Overview
Features
360 Degree Full HD Surveillance
The DCS-6915 provides superb 360 degree Full HD industry standard 16:9 wide screen video for IP surveillance. The pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) controls
enable comprehensive wide area surveillance with proportional tilt control making it easy to precisely adjust the camera’s view as the panning speed
is automatically slowed to improve camera tracking and control. Additionally, PTZ presets allow the camera to automatically monitor specified areas
along predefined paths. Together these features mean a single camera can provide 360 degree coverage of a large area with ease.
Remote Monitoring Utility
The D-ViewCam application adds enhanced features and functionality for the Network Camera and allows administrators to configure and access
the Network Camera from a remote site via Intranet or Internet. Other features include image monitoring, recording images to a hard drive, viewing
up to 32 cameras on one screen, and taking snapshots.
Remote Zoom & Focus
The remote focus function eliminates the need for manual focusing at the camera position and allowing the user to make
key adjustments from any computer. The remote zoom functionality allows the user to make final adjustments to the zoom from the computer. It
provides a convenient way to ensure that the viewing angle is optimized for the scene and required need for resolution.
Built for Tough Environments
Specially designed for use in challenging environments the DCS-6915 has a toughened metal, industry-certified IK-10 (vandal-proof) and IP-66
(weather-proof) housing. This means that it is able to withstand sudden high impacts, as well as adverse weather conditions. The camera apparatus
is housed in a weatherproof enclosure (IP-66 standard), and features a built-in heater and fan which enable the camera to operate in extreme
environments at temperatures ranging from -40 to 50 °C (-49 to 122 °F).
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function of a camera provides clear images even under backlit conditions where the intensity of illumination can
vary significantly. The DCS-6915 is recommended for extreme high-contrast environments. For example, when placed indoors, the DCS-6915 will
adjust itself to the intense sunlight that may be streaming in through a nearby window. This makes it an ideal solution for security applications.
Removable IR Cut Filter for Continuous Monitoring
The IR Cut Filter can be manually applied, or set to automatically adjust based on lighting conditions. This feature enables the camera to capture
crisp color images during the daytime, and grayscale images in low-light.
Flexible Connectivity
The DCS-6915 includes input and output ports for connectivity to external devices such as IR sensors, switches, and alarm relays.
