Key Features

- Tall 3:4 Aspect Ratio: The "head-to-toe" field of view ($960 \times 1280$ resolution) allows you to see people standing close to the door and, more importantly, check on packages left on the ground.
- Clear HDR & Night Vision: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ensures that faces aren't washed out by bright sunlight or hidden in dark shadows. At night, infrared LEDs provide a clear view even in total darkness.
