This camera is designed for environments that require crisp color fidelity and dependable operation across diverse lighting conditions, enabling security teams to review evidence and monitor activity with confidence. From corporate campuses to city-wide deployments, the CV380-CS provides the high-resolution, flexible, and durable solution needed to elevate your surveillance results.

• Stunning image quality with 8.5 MP resolution: The 1/2.5" sensor captures intricate textures and precise color detail in both bright and challenging lighting. With 4:2:2 color sampling, color reproduction remains accurate through complex scenes, helping operators identify important details. The camera supports True-4K at 4096 x 2160p up to 30fps, ensuring lifelike footage where critical features remain clear even during fast action. Ultra-HD at 3840 x 2160p up to 30fps provides a widely used format for modern displays, while maintaining the benefits of a high-resolution sensor for post-event analysis and evidence gathering.
• Dual-output versatility for robust monitoring: The CV380-CS provides a 6G-SDI (single BNC) connection alongside an HDMI 1.4 output. This combination supports simultaneous feeds to multiple devices—such as a high-performance recorder and a monitor wall—while maintaining full, high-quality video. 6G-SDI delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission ideal for security installations, and HDMI 1.4 ensures straightforward local monitoring. The result is a flexible video pipeline that simplifies deployment in control rooms, enables redundant paths, and reduces integration complexity.
• Lens flexibility with CS/C-mount compatibility: The camera is designed to work with CS-mount and C-mount lenses, giving you a wide range of options for focal length, field of view, and depth of field. Whether you need a compact fixed-lens solution for tight interiors or a high-end varifocal for outdoor perimeters, the CV380-CS accommodates it. Varifocal lenses let you fine-tune framing on-site, while fixed lenses offer consistent performance with minimal maintenance. This adaptability helps you optimize image sharpness, distortion, and exposure control to suit your environment and security objectives.
• Comprehensive frame rates across multiple modes: The camera supports True 4K at up to 30fps (4096 x 2160p) and Ultra-HD at up to 30fps (3840 x 2160p), providing smooth motion and detailed imagery for fast-moving scenes and critical analysis. For standard HD workflows, the HD (Progressive) mode offers 1080p and 720p at up to 60fps, with a broad selection of frame rates (60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25/24/23.98). This versatility enables you to match video output to your storage, bandwidth, and playback needs while preserving high-quality results across different viewing contexts.
• Professional build and ease of deployment: The CV380-CS combines a compact, unobtrusive form with rugged, reliable construction suitable for demanding environments. Its color imaging delivers natural tones and clear subject representation, supporting effective decision-making in real time and strong evidence in post-processing. The CS/C-mount interface keeps installation straightforward and future-ready, allowing you to swap lenses as surveillance requirements evolve. With straightforward cabling and standard connectors, this camera is a solid cornerstone for scalable security ecosystems, helping to reduce installation time and total cost of ownership.
