Digital Watchdog - DWC-MB72Wi4T - 2.1MP MEGApix Bullet IP Camera with 4.0mm Fixed Lens
Product Overview
The Digital Watchdog DWC-MB72Wi4T is a professional 2.1MP/1080p bullet IP camera featuring Star-Light Plus™ technology for high-quality color imaging in near-total darkness. Equipped with a 4.0mm fixed lens and Smart IR reaching 100 feet, it ensures clear 24/7 surveillance with True WDR (120dB) for balanced contrast. Its rugged, IP67-rated waterproof housing and local SD card slot make it a reliable choice for demanding outdoor environments requiring H.265-efficient high-definition video.
Key Configuration
- • Image sensor: 2.1MP/1080p 1/2.8" CMOS; total pixels: 1945 × 1109
- • Lens: 4.0mm fixed at F2.6; field of view: 86°
- • IR distance: Smart IR up to 100 ft (30.5 m); minimum illumination: 0.09 lux color, 0.0 lux B/W
- • Video compression: H.265, H.264, MJPEG; bitrate: 100 Kbps – 10 Mbps; dual-stream capable
- • Power: DC12V or PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 2); power consumption: DC12V max 4.5W, PoE max 6.0W
Key Features
This NDAA/TAA-compliant camera excels in difficult lighting conditions using True WDR (120dB) and Smart IR that extends up to 100 feet without overexposing foreground objects. It supports a local CVBS analog video output for easy on-site aiming and testing, alongside a microSD slot for edge storage redundancy. For broad system compatibility, it is ONVIF Profile S conformant, ensuring seamless integration with DW Spectrum IPVMS.
Technical Context
The internal architecture supports advanced shutter modes, including anti-flicker and slow shutter, and utilizes H.265 compression to maximize storage efficiency. Security is prioritized with HTTPS (TLS), 802.1x, and IP filtering to prevent unauthorized access. The camera is built to withstand varied environments, operating reliably in temperatures from -4°F to 122°F while maintaining a stable network connection via protocols like SNMP and RTSP.
Installation Notes
Encased in a rugged aluminum bullet housing, the device carries an IP67 rating, making it completely dust-tight and waterproof up to 3 feet of immersion. Its compact profile (6.41" in length) and lightweight 1.1 lb build allow for versatile mounting on walls or ceilings. As with other premium Digital Watchdog hardware, this camera is backed a 5-year warranty.
