ROI (Region of Interest)

ROI (Region of Interest) is an image cropping feature designed to achieve bandwidth / storage optimization through targeted image capturing. Users can select 1 or 2 key area(s) to transmit as separate streams for targeted preview and recording.

A tollbooth is a commonly seen application for ROI (see image above). In this application, one stream is used to preview the whole area while the other two streams can be cropped using the ROI function to focus on important areas like the entrance/exit, a car’s license plate or a driver’s face. This way, important areas or details can be observed by security personnel using, for example, mobile devices while still keeping an eye on the big picture.

Day & Night

Equipped with a built-in ICR (IR-cut filter removable) and an IR illuminator, AVer IP cameras (network cameras) can deliver colorful videos during the day and black & white video when the illumination drops below a certain lux level. The IR-cut filter is a mechanical shutter placed between the camera sensor and the lens and controlled by a motor or an electromagnet. During the day, the ICR will block infrared light and allow only visible light to pass through. At night or during low-light conditions, the ICR will be mechanically removed, and the live image will become black & white, which is more sensitive to infrared light. Any applications involving outdoor installations and low-light environments, such as controlling traffic and public safety, can benefit from the IR-cut filter switch feature.

iPOS Function

The iPOS function is effective for helping customers to prevent stock shrinkage, balance shortage, and ensure trade security. The iPOS function is an advanced tool for POS management providing not only visual contextual awareness but customized protocols for various demands and wide applications.

Corridor Mode

While the high resolution images captured by AVer IP cameras record details in outstanding clarity, the default widescreen (16:9) format of these cameras is not optimal for long, narrow scenes, such as hallways, corridors and stairwells. By rotating the camera 90° and enabling Corridor Mode, the video is now captured in a portrait-style (9:16) format, extending the field of view vertically for more effective video surveillance.

MFZ (Motorized Focus and Zoom)

A built-in motorized lens allows for easy focus and zoom tuning remotely via the camera’s GUI, so focal point and focal length can be changed anytime. Users can take full advantage of vari-focal lens with stepping motor and one-click focus adjustment to set camera’s watchful eyes on the right spot. This function is especially recommended for remote, hard-to-reach locations or unsafe sites like tall buildings or utility poles.

IK Rating

In areas prone to vandalism, camera housing must be built especially robust, able to withstand multiple violent physical assaults. Vandal dome type cameras are a prime example of this kind of vandal-proof camera. IK ratings, based on the IEC 62262 international standard, are used to establish the level of protection of a particular camera/housing against mechanical impact. Two types of tests are employed in determining the IK rating: a drop test in which an object of certain mass is dropped directly onto the camera/housing and a strike test in which the camera/housing is hit with an object of certain mass and made of specified material.

IMD (Intelligent Motion Detection)

IMD is a user-defined graphic motion sensitivity feature that minimizes false alarms through higher detection efficiency. Different detection zones can be defined to enable this advanced alarm mechanism.

Event Booster

The Event Booster function is an alarm option that allows for an instant frame rate boost under specified conditions. After setting up an alarm trigger (e.g. motion detection, Digital Input etc.) the user can use the Event Booster function to ensure smooth imaging when the alarm has been triggered. In addition, the base frame rate can be reduced, saving bandwidth and storage space, ensuring that should an emergency situation arise, it will be recorded at the maximum frame rate available (for current resolution).

Full HD Resolution

Simply put, higher resolution means more effective surveillance. All AVer School Security IP cameras support a minimum of 25/30fps at full HD1080p resolution. From license plates to visitors' faces, these crisp, vivid images capture the finest details of every scene and bring them into clear view, providing image quality unattainable via analog cameras and other low resolution CCTV systems.

Smart Stream

Smart Stream is an image capturing feature designed to optimize bandwidth / storage space by increasing or decreasing quality for selected areas based upon criticality. Users can define up to 5 areas per stream (max. 3 streams) to set quality higher or lower, saving bandwidth / storage space.

For example, with an overall bit rate setting of 2 Mbps (CBR), the high quality area would be transmitted at about 8 Mbps to ensure sharp images, while the non-essential areas of the image would be transmitted at about 128 Kbps (specific values can vary depending on scene complexity). Typical applications include entrances, access gates, production lines, art galleries and museums.

2-Way Audio

With 2-way audio communication support, IP cameras (network cameras) can capture sounds coming from a monitored site through a built-in/external microphone and relay it back to security personnel remotely monitoring the site. The security personnel can then verbally communicate with people around the camera via attached speakers to issue instructions, warnings, etc.

IR Illuminators

IR (infrared) illuminators take advantage of electromagnetic radiation outside the visible light spectrum, i.e. infrared waves (700-1000 nm). These devices emit high levels of IR light allowing IR-sensitive cameras to capture monochrome black & white images of scenes not visible to human eye due to lack of visible light. IR illuminators are essential for effective day / night surveillance as they allow surveillance cameras to achieve visibility in low-light and no light conditions.

Basic types IR illuminator can be either a standalone device (external) or can be built inside the camera (internal). External IR illuminators have to be purchased separately and employ various illumination technologies (regular bulbs, LEDs, laser). However in most scenarios built-in IR illuminators, which typically adopt LED technology, are the best choice. Built-in IR LEDs are cost-effective and their angle is perfectly aligned with the camera lens, avoiding potential lighting issues.

Adjustable IR LED strength AVer IP cameras employ Osram IR LEDs, essentially guaranteeing excellent quality, long lifespan and energy efficiency. Built-in illuminators allow for manual adjustment of infrared light intensity, with 6 separate intensity levels available with AVer IP cameras. Users can access the camera’s UI via the web to fine-tune IR levels to fit specific location requirements, avoiding potential lighting issues, like overexposure.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

WDR technology maintains proper lighting contrast and ensures image clarity when experiencing severe backlight, glare, reflection and other extreme lighting conditions. AVer IP cameras (network cameras) offer different WDR levels/settings to optimize live video quality in different lighting environments. For example, a higher level of WDR represents wider dynamic range, allowing IP cameras (network cameras) to catch a greater scale of brightness. This handy feature enables the IP cameras (network cameras) to cope with any challenging lighting environment.
