1.3 MP HD WDR Outdoor Dome IP Camera

DCS-6511

Round-The-Clock Surveillance

The D-link DCS-6511 is a high-definition fixed dome day and night network camera, ideal for surveillance applications and remote monitoring over the Internet. The camera employs a WDR CMOS sensor with low lux sensitivity to deliver superior image quality under various lighting conditions. The DCS-6511 is equipped with a BNC video connector for an analog video signal, and DI/DO (digital input/digital output) connectors for external alarms, monitor and sensors.

High-Quality Video Feeds

To maximize bandwidth efficiency and improve image quality, the DCS-6511 provides real-time video compression using the H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG codecs. Furthermore, the DCS-6511 supports 3 separate profiles for simultaneous video streaming and is capable of recording in MJPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264 compression at up to1.3 megapixel resolution.

Flexible Installation

Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity allows for discreet installation in virtually any indoor or outdoor location. The camera’s built-in 802.3af compliant PoE module eases the installation process by reducing the need to drill holes and lay additional cabling to a power source. This camera can be accessed, controlled, and viewed from any appropriately configured device connected to your local area or wide area network.

Mechanical IR Cut Filter and IR LEDs for Continuous Monitoring

The mechanical IR cut filter provides the DCS-6511 with the capability to record clear video footage in low light environments. The fully automated system is able to determine current lighting conditions and automatically activates the 12 built in IR LEDs to capture objects within 60 feet in complete darkness.

ePTZ for Surveying Regions of Interest

The ePtZ feature allows users to select a target region for close-up viewing simply by clicking on the video feed displayed within their browser. ePTZ makes use of the camera’s megapixel resolution to survey a large area effortlessly. Since ePTZ requires no moving parts, there is no need to worry about the mechanical lifecycle of the camera.

Convenient Management with D-ViewCam

The included D-Link D-ViewCam™ is sophisticated software which enables you to manage up to 32 network cameras, set e-mail alert notifications, create recording schedules, and trigger motion detection to record directly to your hard drive. D-ViewCam™ also allows you to upload a floor plan of your business, and create a realistic layout according to the locations of your cameras, further simplifying the management process.
