The camera ZN8-BB12M412-N has the cylindrical body of the standard of security IP66, the built-in searchlight of IK-illumination on 70 meters and^[1] is held for use outside premises in the temperature range from-40 to +60 °C].

12 MP sensors (1/1.7') allow the camera to broadcast the detailed video flows with the resolution of 4K Ultra HD. H.264 and M-JPEG, H.265 codecs are used to their compression. The WDR mode is implemented in these cameras at the hardware level. For quality improvement of video signal the system of noise cancellation acts on the basis of filters 2D and 3D.

The IP camera operates on the GANZ processor. There is a BLC function for increase in clearness of the picture at a background flare, the digital filters 2D and 3D DNR "cleaning" video from noise at a lack of light. The hardware WDR function 120 dB helps ZN8-BB12M412-N to increase image quality at simultaneous emergence in a viewing field of sections with excess and insufficient illumination, aligning brightness on all frame.

Broadcast of the image in real time is possible at any Full HD resolution, including 4K of Ultra HD that it provides a possibility of use of this video for the online analysis at registration of disturbing events - with algorithms of face recognition, car numbers, etc. For economy of traffic and disk space on video devices this megapixel IP camera allows use of the H.265 video codec, and for compatibility with the operating IP systems — H.264 and/or M-JPEG. The maximum image resolution from ZN8-BB12M412-N - 12 megapixels (4000х3000 px.) at 20 fps.
