Advanced AI Surveillance Features
The DCS-F4718E is equipped with cutting-edge AI monitoring to transform your security system. Advanced algorithms provide accurate people and vehicle detection to reduce false alarms from animals, shadows, or weather. Customise alarm triggers for intrusion detection, tripwire zones, loitering alerts, wrong-way detection, and illegal parking. The camera also features face detection and face recognition for enhanced access control, plus people counting for retail analytics and occupancy monitoring.
Superior Image Quality Day & Night
Powered by a high-sensitivity 1/2.8-inch 8-megapixel progressive CMOS sensor with Sony STARVIS technology, the DCS-F4718E delivers exceptional video quality in virtually any lighting condition. True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) restores details in high-contrast scenes, making washed-out bright areas and deep shadows visible. Advanced image enhancement includes white balance, highlight compensation (HLC), backlight compensation (BLC), 2D/3D noise reduction, and defog for clear images in fog or haze.
Flexible Remote Zoom & Focus
The motorised varifocal lens (2.7mm to 13.5mm, F1.6 aperture) allows you to remotely adjust the field of view without physically accessing the camera. Ideal for covering wide areas or zooming in on critical zones like entrances, parking lots, or loading bays. Viewing angles range from 108.6° horizontal (wide) to 35° (telephoto).
Built for Australian Conditions
With an IP67 ingress protection rating, the DCS-F4718E is completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. The rugged aluminium housing with glare-reducing sun shield is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to 55°C, making it perfect for harsh Australian outdoor environments including coastal areas, industrial sites, and remote locations.
Efficient H.265 Video Compression
To maximise bandwidth efficiency and reduce storage costs, the DCS-F4718E supports real-time video compression in H.265 (HEVC), H.264, and MJPEG formats. H.265 encoding delivers up to 50% better compression than H.264 while maintaining superior image quality. The camera supports three separate video profiles for simultaneous streaming and recording at different resolutions.
Simple Power over Ethernet Installation
Built-in 802.3af-compliant PoE simplifies installation by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power outlets. This makes the DCS-F4718E ideal for locations where power access is limited, reducing installation time and costs.
Flexible Storage & Integration
The camera features a microSD card slot supporting cards up to 256GB for local edge recording. It's ONVIF Profile S compliant, ensuring seamless integration with third-party NVRs, VMS platforms, and NAS systems. Manage your cameras with the included free D-ViewCam software (up to 64 cameras) or D-Link's DCMS+ enterprise management platform.
