The icon legend page explains in detail the features offered,
and why they are relevant, as well as an explanation of the technology itself.
Audio 1 Way
Cameras that support an audio input, for use with an additional, external microphone.
Audio Built-in
Cameras that have a built-in microphone.
Camera 2-Axis
Cameras that have 2 axes of movement. Typically, a tilt and rotational axis.
Camera 3-Axis
Cameras that have 3 axes of movement. A pan, tilt, and rotational axis.
Audio 2 Way
Cameras and recorders which support both an audio input and output, for use with an additional microphone and speaker, respectively. Users can open the audio I/O channel and create a two-way audio session with a camera or recorder.
AV Certified
When excellence in AV integration is required, look to our AV-certified products. These products are equipped to handle the various transport streams, compressions, and codecs required by every AV control system.
Technologies
Originally one had to choose between a DVR or a NVR. Then came the hybrid which combined the two technologies. The tribrid added IC Realtime's HD-AVS capabilities. Now the pentabrid adds support for AHD and TVI standards.
iSniper
When every pixel of your image counts, look to the iSniper lineup of cameras. These camera devices utilize superior image signal processing chips, allowing for levels of Wide Dynamic Range that are unparalleled in the industry.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a term used in the surveillance camera industry to refer to High Dynamic Range Imaging. A technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques.
Intelligent Video System
This mark indicates the recorder product has some brains behind it. Recorders supporting AI (also known as IVS) are able to monitor certain video events including but not limited to: Perimeter Intrusion, Tripwire, People Counting, Face Detection, and more.
HD-AVS
IC Realtime's High Definition Audio Video System, is capable of streaming up to 8MP resolution over traditional Coaxial cable. HD-AVS cameras are capable of transmitting Audio as well as PTZ Camera controls over the same Coaxial cable as well! A great solution for retrofit applications.
Smart IR
Infrared LED’s with intelligence. Smart IR’s are capable of automatically dimming themselves if the image becomes overexposed due to IR reflection. This is useful in situations where long-range IR illumination is required however objects may cross the IR illumination path much earlier.
Channels
A simple indicator on the 'channel' count of recorder products. Also known as 'inputs' or how many cameras any recorder product can support totally.
POE
NVRs with this emblem have a built in POE switch to power and address IP cameras. The number indicated on the icon / emblem represents how many POE ports are available on any given NVR (4, 8, or 16)
SD Card Slot
For cameras supporting an SD card, this is the maximum capacity of the SD card to be used. Please note that all SD memory should be of ‘Class 10’ speed ratings or higher.
HTML5
HTML5 compliant and can universally be used from any web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
IR Distance
For cameras supporting IR Illumination, this is the maximum effective distance of night-time viewing.
Resolution
The Megapixel rating for the camera itself. Ranging from D1 (Less than a Megapixel) up to 25 Megapixels at the highest.
Form
The form describes the type of recorder device - either a Toaster, Desk, or Rack Mountable.
Physical Size
This rating describes how large any device is, in Rack Units (1U, 2U, 4U, etc.) for recorders.
Field of View - Fixed
The Horizontal field of view for the camera is listed.
Field of View - Varifocal
For cameras with a focus adjustment (either manual or motorized), the Horizontal field of view range for the camera is listed.
