  • True low-light performance: Sony 1/2.8″ 2 MP CMOS sensor delivers full-colour images at just 0.05 lux (0.01 lux B/W) and records 1080p video at 30 fps.
  • Razor-sharp imaging: 2D/3D noise reduction, digital WDR (> 90 dB), and advanced image enhancement keep visuals crisp through glare, spray, and dusk.
  • AI on the edge: Built-in analytics enable motion, intrusion, and face recognition, plus privacy masking—no external servers needed.
  • Ultra-efficient streaming: H.265+ compression minimizes data load, with SD storage supporting up to 256 GB of local loop recording.
  • Always connected: Dual-mode Wi-Fi, optional 4G CAT 4 modem, and GPS/BeiDou enable remote monitoring, geotagged alerts, and browser-based live support—no plug-ins required.
  • Marine-ready form factor: Measuring just 38 × 38 mm, the unit draws as little as 1.2 W and is encased in a vibration-damped, IP-rated housing, purpose-built by ACEL to withstand saltwater exposure.
