D-Link DCS-6517-A1A

A professional tool for deploying a video monitoring system from a well-known player in the network equipment arena represented by D-Link is ranked among the top solutions for the street front, which do not care about the vagaries of weather, malicious attacks and ambient lighting conditions.

A high resolution

At the heart of the DCS-6517-A1A model there is a 1/3.2" 5 MP photosensitive sensor, which allows shooting in high resolution 2560x1920 pixels. A varifocal lens with a set of focal lengths of 3-10.5 mm and a maximum aperture of f / 1.4 is working hard with the sensor.

Excellent visibility

The camera sees perfectly not only in the daytime, but also at night — the ICR filter flexibly adjusts the sensor's sensitivity to the actual lighting, and thanks to the presence of IR illumination, objects in the frame are clearly distinguishable even in complete darkness at a distance of up to 20 m. The camera is able to "read" faces and license plates, including with strong differences in illumination in different parts of the frame, the merit of which lies on the shoulders of the WDR dynamic range expansion function.

rich decoration

In terms of decoration, there are not so many equal to the D-Link DCS-6517-A1A. The camera provides the user with a built-in POE module for supplying power and connecting to the network via a single Ethernet cable, audio input and audio output for organizing two-way voice communication, similar alarm interfaces and, of course, a motion sensor with zone detection. This wealth is packed in an all-protected case with a total weight of over 1 kg. The only “but” is the immodest price tag of the model. But for a flagship-level product, the high cost is forgivable.
