Network IP cameras for advanced CCTV systems

The cameras in this range are network digital cameras, also called IP cameras. With these cameras you can create a fully digital video surveillance system that works over a LAN network. Each camera has a LAN port and an IP address, that you can set just like you do with computers or other network devices. You can monitor your cameras with a PC or you can consider to purchase a network video recorder (NVR) to comfortably manage many cameras. This RH PRO range is designed for top notch systems that require maximum hardware and software performance.

Switch to digital. Get the benefits of the IP CCTV

Compared to traditional analog technology (nowadays AHD), IP technology offers many advantages and is therefore increasingly used in CCTV systems of any size. The main advantage of IP cameras lies in the network cabling that can be branched out with switches and allows you to connect many cameras with just one single cable. Another benefit of IP CCTV is the WiFi support. You can use wireless Wi-Fi cameras to reach places that are not easy to wire. Furthermore, with IP cameras you can connect video, power supply, audio and PTZ controls with a single cable, with no need of additional wiring. Unlike analog cameras, IP cameras produce a digital video stream that is ready to be stored. For this reason NVR video recorders are efficient and inexpensive even when they have to manage high resolution cameras, over 2MP.
See below an example of a small IP CCTV system.

High video resolution up to 8 Megapixel

The cameras in this RH series guarantee the highest video quality. You can choose from 1MP to 12MP video resolution. The 1MP resolution, also called 720p (1280x720 pixels), is good for close-up monitoring. The 2MP resolution, also called 1080P or Full HD (1920x1080 pixels), is the current standard of high resolution digital TV and meets the needs of average security systems. If you can dedicate a slightly higher budget, consider the 4MP and 5 MP models, which allow greater sharpness when recording distant subjects and more details in close-ups. This range also includes 8MP (4K) cameras that are suitable for high-level applications where the recongition of the smallest details is required. To best manage your cameras we recommend using one of our RK Series NVR video recorders. When designing your system you can use cameras with different resolutions based on the importance of the monitored area. Here on the side you can download short demo movies in the most common resolutions.

H264 H265 video compression

The cameras in this range support H264 H265 video compression, including the latest upgrades, in order to combine high quality video stream and low bandwidth consumption. These cameras can manage 3 VIDEO STREAMING with different compression and resolution, that you can choose from the client device. The frame rate is also adjustable up to 25 frames / second (real-time). Choose the well-established H264 format for maximum compatibility with all NVRs, or use the latest H265 to increase the video storage capacity and minimize the bandwidth. Here on the side you can download two similar clips in H264 and H265 format: please note the different file size.

SMART IR infrared illuminator with ICR

To be able to work in total darkness, these cameras are equipped with infrared LEDs that provide invisible night illumination UP TO 50 METERS depending on the model. Thanks to Smart IR technology, the LED power adapts automatically to the subject distance avoiding overexposure on closed targets. The cameras in this range come with high performance LED PIRANHA SUPERFLUX LEDs that provide a high illuminating power while maintaining a relatively low energy consumption. The LEDs turn on automatically below 10 lux. In night mode the camera works in Black White thanks to an ICR mechanism (Infrared Cut-Filter Removable). If you want, you can set the camera to work only in color mode, excluding the infrared night function.

HTTPS protocol support

All our RH IP cameras fully support HTTPS encrypted communication protocol that is highly recommended for high-risk CCTV systems. you may need to use https protocol, instead of ordinary http, in many application fields like banking or public security.

Mirror, WDR, BLC, DNR, HLC, Antifog

The RH Series IP cameras come with a full pack of advanced features. With an Internet browser you can change the options to adapt the camera to your needs. You can adjust the image and rotate it, with the MIRROR function, in order to adapt the framing to the area to be monitored. The WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE (WDR) function is useful if you monitor bright areas together with darker areas. With the BLC you can enhance dark subject on a bright background. The ANTIFOG, HLC and DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION functions allow you to face difficult monitoring conditions with poor visibility.

STARLIGHT for night-time color recording

This range of cameras includes some STARLIGHT models, based on the SONY STARVIS™ back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Starlight cameras are designed to produce clear full color video at night, taking advantage of every minimal natural light source. Starlight PTZ cameras are highly recommended when monitoring large outdoor areas which are too vast for IR illuminators.

IP66 and IK10 protection

All cameras in this RH range are waterproof, with IP66 protection degree. You can place them both inside or outside, under the rain. We do not use cheap plastic enclosures for our IP cameras, but only robust fire-painted die-cast aluminum casings. Therefore, you can set these cameras up anywhere, without worrying about outdoor temperature and corrosion. In addition, RH-DCC1 ... dome models provide IK10 anti-vandal resistance and can be installed in high-risk areas without the worry of the camera being damaged by shocks or tampering attempts.

Alarm input - output

Many cameras in this range come with 1 or 2 alarm inputs for the connection of sensors, detectors, switches and other contacts that can generate automatic alarm actions. This makes these cameras perfect for automated industrial systems. These cameras also have an alarm output for the connection of devices to be activated in the event of an alarm, such as sirens or indicating lights. These alarm outputs are particularly useful in video analysis applications, to warn of unusual events. Here on the side is the connection cable of a full feature RH camera.

NOTE) Check the technical data sheet at the bottom of the page to see the available connections for each model

Audio input and output

These IP cameras come with RCA audio input and output for bidirectional dialogue to which you can connect a microphone and a speaker. When you connect to the camera remotely, with your computer or mobile phone, you can talk to the people in the area to provide instructions or warnings. It is a useful function in many applications where the real-time interaction with an operator is required.

Water-proof junction box

To make the installation of these cameras easier, we have designed waterproof junction boxes that you can purchase as optional accessories. These WATERPROOF BOXES are ideal to contain the terminals, protecting them from water and wearing. The front cover includes holes for the camera bracket. You can let the cables out from the rear or from the side of the box (waterproof cable gland is included).
