Resolution
Higher resolution records more pixels in each frame, which gives you more detail to work with when reviewing faces, vehicles, packages, and activity.
Resolution labels describe output dimensions. Aspect ratio, lens quality, sensor quality, lighting, compression, and recorder settings also affect usable image detail.
Night Vision
Night-vision technologies solve different problems. Compare the same scene below; this product's supported modes are highlighted.
On this product
IR Night Vision
Black-and-white visibility without visible light, ideal for discreet overnight monitoring.
Dual Light
Uses IR normally, then activates a spotlight for full-color detail when it matters.
Color Night Vision
Retains useful color from ambient light without requiring a visible spotlight.
Ultra Color Night Vision
Advanced low-light processing preserves the clearest color and background detail in very dark scenes.
The examples explain relative viewing modes. Actual brightness, color, and range depend on the camera, placement, and available ambient light.
Night Viewing Range
The bird's-eye property guide shows how the camera's listed nighttime range extends outward from its mounting point.
"Up to" is the manufacturer-listed maximum viewing or illumination distance. Recognizable detail may be shorter and varies with lighting, night-vision mode, weather, placement, lens settings, and obstructions.
Frame Rate
Frame rate measures how many images a camera records each second. Higher FPS makes fast movement appear smoother and easier to follow.
The highlighted lane shows this product's maximum listed frame rate. Actual FPS can vary by resolution, recording mode, recorder, and system settings.
Camera Detail Range
Each distance is calculated from this camera's horizontal resolution and best optical field of view. Digital zoom can enlarge recorded detail for review.
3,840 horizontal pixels at 109.1°
PPF-based estimateRecognition
Recognizing a person, pet or vehicle with full details.
Detection
Verifying a human or vehicle is present.
Total Viewing Range
General scene awareness and large-object movement.
Actual results depend on lighting, focus, mounting angle, subject movement, compression, weather, and installation. These are planning estimates, not guarantees of facial identification or moving-vehicle plate capture.
Description
The Allied 8MP 4K Dark Defender Camera is built for locations where the recording plan calls for the highest detail in this analog turret family. Its 3840 x 2160 image and 109.1-degree horizontal view give homes and businesses a strong option for broad driveways, parking areas, warehouse approaches, storefront exteriors and other scenes where a lower-resolution camera may leave too little information to inspect.
Full 4K output runs at 15 frames per second through compatible TVI, AHD or CVI equipment. The camera can also provide 5MP at 20 frames per second or 4MP at up to 30 frames per second. That matters when designing the system: 4K favors maximum recorded detail, while a lower resolution can favor smoother motion and reduced storage demand. Allied Home Security configures that tradeoff around the actual scene instead of presenting one frame-rate claim for every mode.
Allied’s 8MP Dark Defender camera combines LightHunter low-light sensitivity with two Smart IR illuminators that reach up to 131 feet in complete darkness. True 120 dB WDR is especially valuable around bright doors, headlights and mixed sun-and-shadow scenes, helping protect detail in both the brighter and darker parts of the same image.
A built-in microphone supplies audio over coax in supported CVI modes, and the BNC output switches among TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS for flexible recorder matching. The metal IP67 housing, 4kV surge protection and -22 to 140 degrees F operating range complete a durable indoor or outdoor camera for demanding Texas properties.
