Digital Watchdog DWC-MVA5WI28TX 5MP Ip Ball Camera 2.8mm

Product Description

The DIGITAL WATCHDOG DWC-MVA5WI28TX is a 5-megapixel IP ball-style security camera built for professional surveillance installations. It features a 2.8mm fixed lens that delivers a wide field of view, making it well suited for monitoring open areas, entryways, and perimeter zones. The camera integrates infrared illumination rated to 100 feet, enabling clear low-light and nighttime imaging without supplemental lighting. True Wide Dynamic Range (TWDR) processing allows the sensor to handle scenes with strong contrast between bright and shadowed areas, preserving detail in both regions. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that deploy this unit.

This camera is designed for indoor and outdoor IP-based video surveillance systems in residential and light commercial applications. The 2.8mm focal length produces a wide-angle view appropriate for corner-mounting or ceiling-mounting in lobbies, parking areas, retail spaces, and building entryways. It connects to standard NVR platforms over a network infrastructure and is typically deployed as part of a structured cabling or PoE switch-based system. Installers working with IP camera ecosystems will find the form factor and fixed-lens configuration straightforward to position and commission.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with local codes and NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring. Power down or disconnect the PoE switch port before making cable connections to the camera. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally adequate for the housing weight and that all exterior penetrations are properly sealed against moisture intrusion. Do not exceed the cable run lengths specified by the network infrastructure design for the system.
