This is an Indoor/Outdoor High Definition 1080p Vandal Resistant Dome Security Camera. One major benefit is the motorized zoom lens. Gone are the days where you have to climb up a ladder just to manually zoom a camera to a different view. With this 2MP HD-CVI camera, you can control the zoom from the comfort of your computer chair at your MAC/PC or from your Smart Device. The camera will automatically adjust itself and focus on the new view. This HD dome camera comes with a 2.8-12mm lens allowing you to set it at a wide angle lens for an overall view of your surroundings, or zoom in for a closer look, such as capturing people as they walk through your door. At 1080p resolution you will be able to record a lot of detail which later on you will be able to digitally zoom into your recording and see facial features and tattoos more clearly than with lower resolution or analog cameras.
