The MIC IP starlight 7100i camera is an advanced PTZ surveillance platform for mission-critical applications. With starlight imaging technology and excellent lowlight sensitivity. the camera is the perfect solution for robust and high-quality imaging needs. The camera’s ruggedized design meets customer expectations in demanding environments that exceed the capabilities of conventional IP cameras. Even in installations subject to harsh shock/vibration conditions and/or extreme weather. the camera provides high-quality video images. The camera is the ideal choice for:- Transportation: highways. bridges/tunnels. and ports- Critical infrastructure: power generation/ transmission. refineries/pipelines. and mining- High-security: government facilities and data centers- Mission-critical applications involving harsh environments that require high-resolution imaging- Complex scenes with many details under any lighting conditionExceptional low-light performanceThe latest sensor technology combined with the sophisticated noise suppression results in an exceptional sensitivity in color. The low-light performance is so good that the camera continues to provide excellent color performance even with a minimum of ambient light.High dynamic rangeThe dynamic range of the camera is outstanding and is obvious in real-world performance comparisons. In extended dynamic range mode. the camera uses an electronic shutter to capture four images with different exposure time and reproduce a high-contrast frame. The result is that you can view details in both the bright areas (highlights) and the dark areas (shadows) of a scene at the same time. You can easily distinguish objects and features (for example. faces) with bright backlightRuggedized design for extreme applicationsThe camera is designed to last in surveillance applications that are beyond the mechanical capabilities of conventional positioning systems. The entire metal body is anodized and has been engineered to withstand high-impact. low-frequency vibration. The camera models comply to IK10 rating for impact resistance and to the IEC 60068 standards applicable to vibration and shock. The camera has a closed-loop positioning system. The system allows the camera to maintain its position under continuous vibration or after an extreme shock event. even without homing or pre-position calibration. The camera benefits from Bosch domain knowledge in material engineering and coatings. As a result. the superior metallurgy and the finish of the camera provide unprecedented protection against corrosion. The camera has been tested to and meets the ISO 12944:6 standard C5-M - very high (marine) on Aluminum Housing Components.Defroster on the viewing windowNote: This feature is available on enhanced models only. For installations in environments where ice build-up or condensation is a possibility. the enhanced MIC models have an automatic defrosting function. The inside of the camera window has a transparent coating that puts heat directly on the glass. The heat on the glass helps to decrease and to prevent a buildup of ice as well as condensation on the camera window. Based on the same technology used to de-ice aircraft windscreens. the defroster can melt 1 cm (0.4 in.) of accumulated ice in five minutes in environments as cold as -25 °C (-13 °F). The defroster starts automatically at
