Digital Watchdog - DWC-MD72Di28T - 2.1MP MEGApix Indoor Dome IP Camera with a Fixed Lens and IR
Product Overview
The Digital Watchdog DWC-MD72Di28T is a compact 2.1MP/1080p indoor dome IP camera equipped with a 2.8mm fixed lens, providing a wide 109° field of view. It utilizes a 1/2.9" CMOS sensor to deliver smooth 30 fps video and supports triple codecs (H.265, H.264, and MJPEG) for simultaneous streaming.
Key Configuration
- • Image sensor: 2.1MP/1080p 1/2.9" CMOS; total pixels: 2001 × 1121
- • Lens: 2.8mm fixed at F2.0; field of view: 109°
- • IR distance: Smart IR up to 50 ft (15.2 m); minimum illumination: 0.25 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 3.8W, PoE max 5.5W
Key Features
Equipped with Smart IR reaching up to 50 feet and a mechanical IR cut filter, the camera ensures clear day and night performance without overexposure. Image quality is optimized through Digital WDR (D-WDR), Smart DNR 3D noise reduction, and Backlight Compensation (BLC). For enhanced security, it offers 16 programmable privacy masks, motion detection, and is fully NDAA/TAA compliant, making it suitable for sensitive government and commercial projects.
Technical Context
This unit supports a wide array of network protocols, including HTTPS (TLS), 802.1x, and SNMP, ensuring secure data transmission across various IT infrastructures. It features highly flexible shutter controls, with speeds up to 1/32,000s and multiple slow shutter options for low-light optimization. The system is globally certified (CE, FCC, RoHS) and maintains a stable operating range from -4°F to 122°F.
Installation Notes
The DWC-MD72Di28T is an indoor-only solution featuring a lightweight 0.66 lb plastic housing and a durable polycarbonate dome. Its small footprint (4.13" × 2.93") allows for very discrete mounting in offices or retail spaces. The camera is ONVIF Profile S conformant for easy integration with DW Spectrum IPVMS, includes waterproof cabling for connection protection, and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
