Please Note: The AHD-AD12 is no longer manufactured. Please refer to the HD dome camera page for a replacement.
The AHD-AD12 is an indoor / outdoor vandal-proof dome HD CCTV Camera (AHD camera) featuring a
2.8 ~ 12mm varifocal lens and a high definition 1/3" Sony Progressive Scan CMOS image sensor. The AHD-AD12 is capable of capturing 720P (1280 x 720) resolution (HD CCTV) video surveillance over RG59 coaxial cable. AHD cameras must be used with an AHD compatible DVR.
This AHD dome camera has
4 "giant" infrared LEDs, which allow the camera to continue capturing video in low light and zero light environments. The smart IR technology enables the camera to automatically adjust the intensity of the infrared lighting based on the distance objects are located from the camera. Please check out these surveillance photos captured by the AHD-AD12. You can also watch HD videos here.
The housing on the AHD-AD12 is
IP68 weatherproof rated and protects the vital components of the camera from harsh weather, rain, humidity, dust, and impact.
An
OSD (On Screen Display) menu allows the user to adjust the camera's settings using a joystick located on the camera. Digital Noise Reduction produces better image quality by removing graininess, especially useful in black & white mode when the IR LEDs are active. This camera can be powered by either 12V-DC or 24V-AC.
For environments with challenging lighting conditions, such as bright backlighting, the AHD-AD12 security camera uses
Digital WDR Enhancement. Digital WDR Enhancement works by combining the brightest part of the image with the darkest part to create one highly detailed image.
If you would like to
connect this camera directly to an HDMI compliant TV / Monitor, please refer to the AHD-CV7 AHD to HDMI converter, or select it from the drop-down above.
