Basler network cameras use the best available CCD sensors and incorporate concepts specifically adapted to surveillance tasks. The outstanding performance of these cameras is a direct result of Basler's 20 years of experience in industrial image processing.

All Basler IP color cameras have the following performance characteristics:

	Progressive scan for all image sensors (CCD sensors with resolutions from VGA to 2 megapixels) as the basis for exceptional image quality with reduced motion blur.
	Ideal image quality assured via a set of flexible monitoring functions. The use of configurable measurement windows for exposure control makes it possible to obtain the best backlight compensation for a scene. White balance can either be automatically controlled or manually adjusted resulting in ideal color fidelity. An iris drive with DC control and configurable contrast amplification guarantees the best representation of objects under surveillance even if lighting conditions are poor or changing.
	Optional day/night functionality via an automatically retractable IR-cut filter providing a high image quality color mode for daylight applications and a black and white mode for night and low light conditions.
	Video compression with standards-compliant MJPEG, MPEG4, or H.264 encoding. This flexible approach allows the customized use of multiple MJPEG streams while also using an MPEG4 or H.264 encoded stream. The resolution and frame rate of the MJPEG image streams and the MPEG4 or H.264 stream can be independently adjusted.
	Scaling and AOI functionality support customized resolutions. To display a maximum of details with the highest precision, any image format and aspect ratio can be configured. This means that only relevant image data will be transmitted leading to a significant reduction in bandwidth utilization and maximizing storage utilization.
	Motion detection with an array of 32 x 24 definable fields. Motion detection can be combined with extensive event and alarm management functionality. Configurable internal ring buffer storage makes it possible to access pre and post alarm images.
	Multifunctional interface for connecting peripheral equipment. The 6-pin interface connector not only provides an alternate means of applying camera power, but also makes it possible to control peripheral equipment via RS-232 or a digital I/O interface.
	Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) capability means that power can be supplied to the camera via the same cable used for the network connection.
	Compact metal housing with an 89.8 mm x 29 mm x 44 mm size and a weight of only 230 g.
