Description
The BC840-MC is a network box camera which provides high-quality, high-definition images.
It is also a highly flexible platform which provides multistream encoding. With a built-in SFP
option, the BC840-MC is ready for the widest range of applications.
Extended temperature
The BC840-MC-XT model offers an extended temperature range of -40°C to +75°C. This is
particularly useful in hot environments, such as deserts. With its passive cooling, the BC840-
MC-XT boasts low energy consumption and high reliability.
Multicodec and multistreaming
The versatile BC840-MC camera is capable of quad streaming, with dual H.264/MJPEG
streams simultaneous with two flexible encoding outputs which can provide MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4 streams. Each stream is optimised for its purpose. The H.264 implementation is
based on dedicated hardware resulting in unparalleled video quality.
Edge recording
The BC840-MC offers edge recording when the connection with the NVR is lost. The recorded
images are available as AVI and can easily be downloaded from the device. The recordings are
stored on a single µSDHC card with a maximum capacity of 32 GB.
Open Streaming Architecture (OSA) and ONVIF
The BC840-MC is designed with OSA offering standardised streaming video and remote
control based on international standards and tested with different vendors. A comprehensive
HTTP API gives access to all controls and makes integration easy. The BC840-MC also fully
supports ONVIF and is listed as ONVIF Profile S conformant.
Image quality monitor and tampering alarm
When the image from the camera becomes too poor, an image quality alert is raised. The
built-in Image Quality Monitor continuously monitors the camera image on contrast, exposure,
sharpness, and noise. In addition, the built-in Tamper Detector monitors changes in the
camera’s position or field of view. The instant a camera’s position is changed a tamper detect
alert is raised.
