Operating principle
Superior DomeCam HLVF is an IP camera that uses artificial intelligence (AI) for object recognition. Its algorithms can identify moving objects, distinguishing between humans, animals, or vehicles.
The camera is equipped with a 2.8–12 mm motorized varifocal P-Iris lens that allows remote adjustment of the focal length and optimal lighting control. Motorized zoom and focus enable precise framing of the protected area without physical access to the camera. The P-Iris mechanism automatically adjusts the aperture to maintain sharpness and balanced brightness in all lighting conditions.
The device features hybrid illumination, combining infrared and white light to ensure high-quality images in any lighting conditions. Superior DomeCam HLVF automatically switches between IR and white light depending on the scene, delivering clear black-and-white images in low light and providing color pictures when motion is detected or additional illumination is required. The camera also adjusts the light intensity in real time to prevent overexposure, ensuring clear visibility of both near and distant objects.
The built-in microphone and speaker provide two-way audio, enabling users to listen and communicate through the camera. The audio and alarm inputs/outputs expand integration capabilities with third-party devices.
You can install a microSD card with a memory capacity of 32 to 256 GB (not included in the complete set of the camera). The memory card should be V30 or faster. Additionally, the device can operate without a memory card or via NVR.
Using the video storage calculator, you can calculate the NVR or camera required storage capacity and estimated recording time based on the video stream settings.
Superior DomeCam HLVF enables you to:
- Watch the video in real-time with the ability to zoom in for a closer look.
- Remotely adjust the zoom and focus using the motorized varifocal lens for optimal framing of the monitored area.
- Communicate with visitors using the camera’s microphone and speaker.
- Access archived videos, navigating through them based on recording chronology and calendar (this feature is available if a microSD memory card is installed in the camera, or it is connected to NVR with an installed hard disk).
- Configure motion detection zones and adjust the sensitivity level.
- View the Video wall that combines images from all connected cameras.
- Quickly access automation device control from the cameras’ video player menu.
- Create video scenarios that send a short video from the selected camera to the Ajax app when the security detector is triggered.
- Download the required segments of video recordings from the archive to smartphones or PCs (this feature is available if a microSD memory card is installed in the camera, or it is connected to NVR with an installed hard disk).
- Configure connection via ONVIF to integrate the device with video management systems (VMS) such as Milestone, Genetec, Axxon, and Digifort.
The video recording segments downloaded from Superior DomeCam HLVF have the Ajax digital signature that verifies the integrity of the exported video. To verify the authenticity of the downloaded video recordings, use the Ajax Media Player tool.
An admin or PRO with rights to configure the system can set up a connection via ONVIF in Ajax apps.
Video scenarios
The Ajax system offers the capability to use IP cameras for alarm verification. Video scenarios enable the substantiation of alarm triggers with the corresponding video from cameras installed at the facility.
Cameras can be configured to respond to alarms from a single device, multiple devices, or all connected devices. Combined detectors can register various types of alarms, allowing you to configure responses to a wide range of alarm types, whether it’s just one, several, or all of them.
You can also configure the sirens to activate when motion or a specific AI-recognized object is detected. When video devices detect motion or a specific AI-recognized object, the system automatically activates sirens added to the hub to sound an alarm.
