Robust design rated to an industry-leading IP68
Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and
immersion tests (IP68), MIC Series cameras are
perfectly suited for installation in even the most
unforgiving environments. Reliable ‘O’ ring seals
completely protect the internal components from the
external environment, meaning that there is no need to
pressurize the camera. To guarantee the seal, the
factory subjects each MIC camera to a 100% leak test
before shipping. In addition, the cameras’ aluminum
construction is protected from corrosion by two
different processes: first, the cameras receive a
coating of Alodine 5200, a chromate-free conversion
coating of aluminum that is used in the aerospace and
defense industries where a protective layer is required
to improve corrosion resistance. Second, they receive
a robust, powder coat layer of paint.

Various mounting options, including on-site canting
The MIC Series 550 Infrared camera features twist-
lock on-site canting functionality. This allows the
camera to be installed upright, inverted, or canted (at
a 45º angle) to achieve the perfect field of view. No
matter the installation position, the camera will
operate faultlessly.

Integrated wiper
Regardless of the weather, the MIC Series 550 Infrared
camera is able to capture the highest possible quality
image all year long, thanks to its integrated, long-life
silicone wiper.

Functions
High-performance PTZ day/night cameras
Image control and quality are integral aspects of any
PTZ camera, and the MIC Series 550 Infrared camera
delivers. The camera is available with a choice of 28X
and the industry-leading 36X optical zoom lens, and
PTZ camera, and the MIC Series 550 Infrared camera
delivers. The camera is available with a choice of 28X
and the industry-leading 36X optical zoom lens, and
offers a full 12X digital zoom. Both camera options
provide 550 TVL of horizontal resolution for
outstanding clarity and image detail. The cameras also
incorporate technology that dramatically improves the
dynamic range by 128 times. Also known as Wide
Dynamic Range (WDR), it results in clear image
reproduction in extreme high-contrast environments.
The AutoScaling (proportional zoom) and AutoPivot
(automatically rotates and flips the camera) features
ensure optimal control.
Day/night capabilities and outstanding sensitivity make
the MIC Series 550 Infrared cameras exceptional
performers in all lighting conditions. In low light, these
cameras automatically switch from color to
monochrome by removing the IR filter to boost the
infrared illumination sensitivity, while maintaining
superior image quality. For operation in the darkest
conditions, the SensUp control feature automatically
reduces the shutter speed to as little as one second.
This increases sensitivity by more than 50 times.
In addition to low light applications, the camera is also
an exceptional performer when shooting under a
sodium vapor lamp (for example, a street lamp or
tunnel lamp). Images under these conditions may have
a yellowish tint, which may make identification
difficult. In the Extended ATW White Balance mode,
the MIC Series 550 Infrared camera automatically
compensates for the light from a sodium vapor lamp to
restore objects to their original color.
With super-quick, 120°/66° per-second pan/tilt
speeds, the MIC Series 550 Infrared camera
outperforms other domes in its class. The camera
supports 99 pre-positions and two styles of Guard
Tours: Preset and Record/Playback. The preset tour
has capability for up to 99 pre-positions with a
configurable dwell time between pre-positions, and
can be customized as to the order and frequency each
preset is visited. The camera also provides support for
two recorded tours, which have a combined duration
of 15 minutes of movements. These are recorded
macros of an operator’s movements, including pan,
tilt, and zoom activities, and can be played back in a
continuous manner.

Superior privacy masking
The MIC Series 550 Infrared camera allows for a total
of 24 individual privacy masks, with up to eight
displayed in the same scene. Unlike conventional
privacy masks, these can each be programmed with
three, four, or even five corners to cover more
complex shapes. Each mask changes size and shape
smoothly and quickly – ensuring that the covered
object cannot be seen. You also have a choice of
colors: black, white, and blurred. Blurred comes in
handy when privacy is an issue, but determining the
presence of motion is still required.
