Reliable Around-the-Clock High-Definition Indoor Dome Surveillance
The TRENDnet Megapixel HD PoE Day/Night Dome Network Camera (TV-IP262PI) provides a powerful, compact security monitoring solution engineered to deliver clear, highly detailed surveillance footage for indoor residential spaces and commercial properties. Featuring a low-profile, tamper-resistant dome housing, this camera captures high-contrast megapixel resolutions to guarantee reliable facial identification and active area tracking even in completely dark environments.
Equipped with a ring of 12 integrated infrared LED illuminators, the TV-IP262PI auto-switches to clear monochrome imaging when ambient light drops, casting up to 12 meters (40 feet) of night vision coverage. For cleaner installations and reduced costs, the unit draws all data and system operating power over a single network drop when combined with a standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. Users can easily remove the structural dome shell to manually orient the internal 3-axis bracket, locking down the exact viewing angle your facility requires.
Key Product Features
