Digital Watchdog Cameras and Recorders
Digital Watchdog splits into two camera lines and two recorder lines, and which pair a site needs comes down to the cable already in the walls. Browse the full Digital Watchdog catalog below, or shop MEGApix IP cameras, Star-Light Plus HD over coax cameras, recorders and network devices.
MEGApix Network Cameras
MEGApix is the IP line, running 2.1MP and 5MP through 8MP and 4K on 1/2.8, 1/3 and 1/1.8 inch CMOS sensors, with triple codecs in H.265, H.264 and MJPEG. Star-Light Plus sensitivity, true wide dynamic range, true day night and 3D digital noise reduction run across the range, with smart IR to 100 feet and autofocus varifocal P-Iris lenses.
Bodies cover bullets, outdoor vandal domes, indoor domes, turrets, vandal turrets, fisheye domes, multi sensor panoramics and PTZ domes with 36x optical zoom. IVA and IVA+ models add on-camera analytics, and LPR bullets with 6 to 50mm motorized zoom read plates.
Star-Light Plus HD Over Coax Cameras
The Star-Light Plus line sends high definition down coaxial cable that was installed for analog, which is described as using existing coaxial cables to transmit crystal-clear 1080p images. Each camera is universal, recording in HD-Analog, HD-TVI and HD-CVI plus all legacy resolutions down to 960H, so it works with whatever recorder is already on site.
Resolutions run 2.1MP at 30fps, 5MP at 20fps and 4K at 15fps, in weatherproof bullets, vandal domes, indoor domes, vandal turrets and an LPR camera, with varifocal lenses from 2.7 to 13.5mm and 6 to 50mm.
Recorders and Servers
VMAX DVRs match the coax cameras, recording all HD formats and all analog to 960H in H.264, in 4, 8 and 16 channel versions with 1TB to 8TB fitted. Blackjack rackmount NVRs handle the IP side, listed up to 128 channels with 36TB. SiteWatch and NightWatch adds the detection layer: laser sensor detectors reaching 1640 feet, dual tech PIR and microwave IP motion detectors, and infrared and white light illuminators covering 614 and 374 feet.
Switches, Monitors and Thermal
PoE switches are listed at 8 channels with 15.4 watts per port, supporting devices installed up to 320ft using CAT 5. Spot monitoring modules drive a live wall from 4 or 16 cameras at up to 5MP with full screen sequencing, without a recorder in between.
Elevated skin temperature products are listed as NDAA compliant 2.1MP dual image sensor cameras with a thermal detector, sold as a camera on its own or as a complete system.
