September 29, 2010 - Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video released the IK-WR12A, a two-megapixel IP network dome camera featuring an IP66-rated housing that safeguards it from both extreme weather conditions and vandalism. The gasketed, all-steel housing, combined with a built-in heater/blower, permits the installation of the IK-WR12A in the most demanding outdoor applications that would damage less robust cameras. Traffic monitoring, airports, railway stations and city-wide surveillance in temperatures ranging from -22° to 122° F are all suitable applications, as well as indoors where surveillance cameras are at risk from tampering, vandalism or accidental damage.Durability is only one link in the IK-WR12A chain, albeit an important one.
Security professionals will also find it capable of outputting impressive 1600 x 1200 color video and supporting dual-streaming in MPEG4 and Motion JPEG at up to 30 frames-per-second. Because of its two-megapixel resolution a single IK-WR12A can cover a wide-area installation, such as a city street or parking lot, that formerly required two to four standard resolution cameras.In addition, the camera's advanced Vari-focal lens (f=3mm to 9mm) delivers superb image quality, while its true IR-cut filter day/night feature and its long-range IR illuminators allow the camera to capture detailed video in dimly lit environments or even in complete darkness.The IK-WR12A ships fully assembled ready to install with support for 802.3af PoE.
It is backed by a three-year warranty.
