ICA-5250V

 

 

 

8

Advanced Event Management 

The ICA-5250V also supports a number of advanced features that give the camera 
increased flexibility and capabilities, including auto-iris for improving the image quality to 
avoid over exposure, AV out for performing the two-way audio function and inputs/outputs 
for connecting external devices such as door sensors and relays to activate light or close 
doors. 

 

 

Flexible Installation and Power Functionality 

The ICA-5250V incorporates Power over Ethernet power supply into the camera via the 
network, eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. The 
ICA-5250V is ONVIF-compliant and therefore interoperable with other manufacturers’ 
products. It also includes 64-CH central management software. The ICA-5250V is 
indisputably the top choice for reliable and high performance surveillance.
