Excellent image quality

DCS-3710 is equipped with Megapixel Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) CMOS sensor and ICR module for night surveillance. With WDR and auto iris lens this camera can be used for applications or environments with varying light conditions.

Excellent optical lens

DCS-3710 also equipped “Computar” High-End Vari-Focal Auto Iris Megapixel Lens. Computar Lenses have long been recognized as the leader in surveillance lenses.

Low power consumption

The first low power consumption Megapixel WDR camera model, normal operate power consumption is around 2 Watt.

o Positioning Highlights

Consistent design

Advanced surveillance features and compatibility with DCS-3110 makes DCS-3710 an ideal solution for the SMB and Enterprise surveillance market.

Varied functions of DCS-3710

Varied functions was one of the key factors to increase the diversity of DCS-3710. These functions are hard to find together in a camera and therefore stand a good competition with the other high-end cameras.

Megapixel v.s D1(720x480) ,VGA(640x480)

Traditional CCTV Camera send video data by composite signal, and that have D1 ( ex: 720 x 480 NTSC ) resolution limitation, on the contrary IP Camera send data by network, that can support Megapixel resolution which have better quality.

WDR for high contrast light source environment

The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function of a camera is intended to provide clear images even under back light circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary excessively. WDR cameras are usually recommended for situations where light enters a premise from various angles such as a multi-window room. A camera placed on the inside of the room will be able to see through the intense sunlight or artificial light coming in.

If an indoor security camera is pointed towards a window or an entrance door, you will see the background washed out during daytime. This is very common situation in restaurants and stores which have big glass windows.

o Technology Brief

11

WDR performance is better then BLC

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Technology uses two shutter speeds in alternative video fields, high and normal, and combines these two fields into one frame. It allows every detail to be captured accurately even if one portion is bright while other portions are dark. As a result, combined fields yield a frame of high quality images. Below is a comparison of camera technologies with its video images of Regular, Backlight Compensation (BLC), and Wide Dynamic Range.

o Technology Brief

IR Corrective Lenses for exactly Day & Night focus

Day & Night camera normally operate in the near-infrared/infrared zones at night, making the image “out of focus” and unsuitable if used with a conventional lens. IR Lens that utilize a special optical glass material which minimizes light dispersion

o Technology Brief

Content of SD card remote accessible

• SD card content can be read, download by web user interface. User doesn’t need to get data from card.

• Support format function (FAT32)

o Technology Brief

12V DC 200mA output

- 12V output for external peripheral like IR LED.

- Friendly software feature for control related action together

- Scenario example: When ICR sensor trigger ICR active, DCS-3710 switch to night mode, 12V output sync with ICR to active external IR LED.

HTTPS for network security

Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer or HTTPS is a URI scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection. It is syntactically identical to the http:// scheme normally used for accessing resources using HTTP. Using an https: URL indicates that HTTP is to be used, but with a different default TCP port (443) and an additional encryption/authentication layer between the HTTP and TCP.

o Technology Brief

23

HTTPS (cont.)

The HTTPS cannot be enabled if there is no certification on the device.

There are three possible ways make you can enable the HTTPS, create certificate request and upload the certificate file which is signed by third party already, create self-signed certificate automatically and Create self-signed certificate manually.

o Technology Brief

24

Privacy Mask for personal secret Privacy Mask feature allows you to block out certain sensitive zones for

privacy. You can set up to five privacy mask windows in the same screen. Privacy masks will appear on all video streams and recording videos and will overlap with motion detection windows. As seen in the figure below, the masked area does not detect any motion.
