5 Megapixel H.265 Outdoor Dome Network Camera
DCS-6517
The D-Link DCS-6517 5 Megapixel H.265 Outdoor Dome Network Camera is a high denition
professional surveillance and security solution suitable for small, medium, and large enterprises.
The camera features a progressive scan CMOS sensor and support for H.265 to deliver truly
superior quality video in all conditions. Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a rugged, weatherproof
design makes this camera extremely reliable and ideal for deployment in any surveillance
application.
Built for the Outdoors
Specically designed for outdoor environments, the DCS-6517 is IP67 certied – one of the
toughest Ingress Protection (IP) ratings that is given to products tested to protect against dust
and long-term water immersion. A sunshield provides added protection against the elements
while blocking out glare, and various mounting options gives installers maximum exibility
for any location. Most importantly, support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power and
network connectivity via a single cable – making the DCS-6517 a truly versatile solution that
can be used in a wide range of applications.
Advanced Monitoring with H.265 Support
In low-light situations, the IR cut lter automatically slides out of the way to use all available
light. The DCS-6517 also has built-in smart IR LED illuminators with a 20-meter range, allowing
the camera to keep watch even in complete darkness. To maximize bandwidth eciency and
improve image quality, the DCS-6517 provides real-time video compression using the H.265
and MJPEG codecs. The H.265 codec, or High Eciency Video Coding (HEVC), uses the latest
compression algorithms to save even more space than H.264, for better visual quality and
recording performance. These features work together to give you a reliable surveillance camera
capable of monitoring an area 24 hours a day – no matter the environment or the application.
