Low-profile “wedge” design cameras evolved when camera boards went “flat” to incorporate CCD and CMOS video sensors. The wedge’s tough “hockey puck” base and small lens dome were ideal for installation on transit trains & buses and other low-clearance areas where accidental human contact was a factor. Soon, A/V integrators fell in love with the wedge design’s low-slung outline. To commercial, institutional, and residential installers, their hunkered-down profile made them both more vandal-resistant and unobtrusive - with the same video fields of view.
THE “WEDGIE” THAT'S WELCOME
IC Realtime introduces our completely redesigned IPMX-W40F-IRW3 to our professional camera integrators. Even more rounded & damage-resistant, this reimagined Max Series POE wedge camera is new inside & out. It retains the previous model’s 4MP QHD Starlight, 98ft. of SmartIR with even better AI-enhanced video management & perimeter protection skills. And it continues the MX series’s 120db of WDR with Smart IR & FlexSmartAi video management. But the new IRW3 version adds AI Scene Self-Adaptation (SSA) for the best clarity & edge detection in rain, fog, backlight, low light, or varying lighting conditions. Those better details matter even more because the IRW3 edition scrutinizes every frame with our latest cutting-edge iMD 2.0 AI & metadata detection & streaming.
NEXT-GENERATION AI DETECTION
This IRW3 edition wedge camera’s internal AI discerns image metadata frame-by-frame. Then every frame’s objects are encoded & streamed along with the video & audio. When this metadata is recorded on an IC Realtime AI NVR with Object Search, that metadata lets the AI NVR find your selection not only on the IPMX-W40F’s channel but on every NVR channel equipped with an iMD 2.0 AI camera. With one image select & click, every iMD 2.0 channel on the NVR is searched. Not yet using an AI-NVR? No worries - the W40F’s AI also upgrades Perimeter Protection and standard iMD functionality too.
AI ADAPTABLE INTEGRATION
When installed on an IC Realtime NVR, IPMX-W40F’s AI can engage one of the world’s most advanced lossless stream compression schemes. Engaging Smart / AI H.264/H.265 or H.264+/H.265+ scene-adaptive compression settings means maximum streaming speeds & maximum NVR storage capacity. Also optimized for web-based systems, IPMX-W40F-IRW3 is ONVIF Profile S, G & T, P2P, and CGI compatible. To ensure the IPMX-W40F will work with most VMS systems and 3rd party recorders, it has 3 available output streams with widely customizable resolution, frame rate, and compression output settings. IPMX-W40F-IRW3 also has “edge” recording capabilities in the form of an internal 256 Gb mSD card slot for local recording or “off line” VMS and ANR stream buffering.
AI DETECTION & FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
And as great as this little wedge camera is at video-based detection, IPMX-W40F-IRW3’s capabilities extend into the audio realm too. The W40F has both a built-in microphone and external audio inputs. Being a Max Series security camera, W40F is alarm integrator ready with alarm I/O ports on the camera’s network pigtail. Like its MX Line camera teammates, IPMX-W40F’s dependability is based on its IP67 weatherproof and IK10 impact-resistant rating. It’s 4.37” around by 2.55” high and it has color-matched, screwdriver-fit junction boxes and other mounting options available for indoor & outdoor installations. Where 7.2 watts of PoE power is unavailable, the W40F can be locally powered with 12VDC @ 1A. Upgrading & only have coax camera wire available? We have plug-and-play adapters for that, too.
At IC Realtime, they don’t just talk about dependability. We put our money where our mouths are. Their MX Series cameras and Max Series NVRs are backed up by the video industry’s longest 10-year limited Warranty. Plus, IC Realtime’s legendary lifetime dealer support & “we call you” on-site installer SOP means you’re never alone out on-site. Looking for the perfect future-proof 4MP POE wedge camera for local NVRs or web-based VMS installations, indoors or out? Then you can stop here. IC Realtime’s redesigned IPMX-W40F-IRW3 is not only totally integration compatible, it streams both state-of-the-art 4MP QHD Starlight video & audio and the next generation of metadata detection.
