\"4K<\/p>\n

I recently tested the wide angle of view the 2.8mm lens provides on this Viewtron 4K IP camera<\/a> that is installed on the back of my home. I also tested how well the IR night vision works in low light and zero light. Please watch this above video to see the results.<\/p>\n

Security Camera 2.8mm Lens Angle of View<\/h2>\n

\"security<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out the ultra wide angle of view the 2.8mm lens provides. As you can see, that area of my screened in patio is 35 feet wide by 35 feet long. There is only a small blind spot directly below where the security camera is installed. You may click on the above image to see the full 4K resolution that this IP camera captures. Besides the 2.8mm lens, the other reason that this camera captures such a wide angle of view is because it has a large 1\/2.8\u2033 image sensor on it\u2019s circuit board. Cameras with. 2.8mm lens and smaller image sensor will not provide as wide of an angle of view (approximately 107 degrees).<\/p>\n

\n

IR Night Vision Testing<\/h2>\n

In addition to testing the 2.8mm lens, I also tested the infrared night vision capability of this camera. When the light level drops below a certain level, the IR night vision of this camera automatically engages.<\/p>\n

\"IP<\/a><\/p>\n

All of the screenshots that you see below were captured using the Viewtron IP camera NVR<\/a> that all the security cameras at my house are connected to.<\/p>\n

Normal Light \/ Daylight Surveillance<\/h2>\n

\"4K<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a snapshot captured in normal daylight. I am standing about 28 feet away from where the camera is installed. Please click on the image to see 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

Low Light Infrared Surveillance<\/h2>\n

\"4K<\/a><\/p>\n

This surveillance snapshot was captured in very low light. The sun was just barely rising and the camera\u2019s IR night vision is on. Please click on the image to see 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

\n

Zero Light Infrared Video Surveillance<\/h2>\n

\"security<\/a><\/p>\n

This snapshot was captured with zero light in my back yard. All of the illumination that you see here is provided by the security camera\u2019s built-in IR night vision. Please click on the image to see 4K resolution.<\/p>\n

View from Mobile App<\/h2>\n

\"4K<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the remote view of the security camera from the Viewtron mobile app for iPhone<\/a>. You can connect to Viewtron DVRs, NVRs, and IP cameras from the Android app<\/a> also.<\/p>\n

\n

4K Security Camera<\/h2>\n

\"4K<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the Viewtron IP-A8BL security camera<\/a> that I tested in the video. This camera has a fixed 2.8mm lens and strong IR night vision. It also has build-in AI software, but I did not demonstrate the AI capability in the video.<\/p>\n

\n

Security Camera Installation<\/h2>\n

\"4K<\/a><\/p>\n

This is where the camera is installed on the back of my house. I used a large 6 x 6 outdoor junction box because I have additional CAT6 cable run to that location for the wireless access point and pool equipment controller. The gray junction box also provides a place for me to mount my wireless access point. I installed a Viewtron security camera junction box<\/a> on top of that standard electrical junction box.<\/p>\n

Here is a close-up of the camera installation.<\/p>\n

AI Camera Software<\/h2>\n

\"AI<\/a><\/p>\n

As I mentioned, the Viewtron IP-A8BL is an AI security camera. It is capable human detection, car detection, and face detection \/ facial recognition. Please visit this page if you want to see AI software video demos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
