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 denition
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
Specically designed for outdoor environments, the DCS-6517 is IP67 certied – 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 eciency 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 Eciency 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.
