Key Features
The H5A Multisensor delivers superior low-light performance, combining 30m IR with 0.020 lux color imaging and 120dB WDR for high-contrast clarity. It prioritizes data integrity through FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware security and TPM-protected Secure Boot. Integrated Next-Generation Analytics proactively monitor the scene, identifying specific behavioral threats like loitering and unauthorized directional movement across all sensors.
Technical Context
Equipped with Gigabit connectivity and dual MicroSD slots for redundant storage, this unit ensures high-bandwidth reliability. It features a fast 1/8000s shutter and supports up to 64 privacy masks for sensitive environments. The system integrates seamlessly into professional networks via SNMP v3, supporting high-fidelity Opus audio and external alarm triggers while maintaining strict global safety and Plenum compliance.
Installation Notes
Engineered for extreme resilience, the camera operates from -40°C to +60°C and carries IP67/NEMA 4X environmental ratings. Each sensor is independently adjustable (tilt, pan, and azimuth), allowing for bespoke 360-degree coverage. It accommodates multiple power inputs, including 802.3bt PoE, and features specialized vibration and shock resistance, making it ideal for critical infrastructure and transport hubs.
