Signal HDC-250P compact IP camera employs 1/2.8" SONY CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels (3 MP) and can provide video at frame rate up to 25 fps. The built-in 2.8-12 mm varifocal lens has viewing angle adjustable within 90° - 26° range. It cooperates with IR illuminator with range up to 30 meters, ensuring good video coverage in low light conditions and complete darkness. The camera can provide three independent video streams and offers three compression methods, H.265/H.264/MJPEG. The camera is intended for indoor or outdoor applications - its IP66 rated housing protects the electronics against adverse weather conditions. The camera can be conventionally powered from a 12 VDC source or with the use of PoE technology (802.3af).

The camera can use H.265, H.264 and MJPEG compression methods. The H.265 coding allows for two times higher compression ratio than H.264 with preservation of the image quality. This further saves network and memory resources. The selected type of compression must be supported by the NVR.

The configuration and operation control of the camera is performed via Internet Explorer, firefox or the included free CMS software. IPCSearcher application is used for searching Signal cameras in IP network, configuring network parameters, firmware updating, and changing parameters of the cameras and Signal NVRs. The application is particularly useful during the initial configuration of any video monitoring system with multiple cameras. FreeIP application that can be downloaded for Android or iOS mobile devices allows for remote monitoring of the surveillance video.
