Key Capabilities

O semi Hype Lux LP AR0544 Se so fo Efficie t 5MP Captu e: The Falco -544CRH is built a ou d the O semi Hype Lux LP AR0544 se so , a 2.2-mic o pixel desig that delive s full 5MP esolutio without the powe d aw typically associated with se so s of this pixel cou t. This makes the module a ge ui e Low Powe USB Came a Module athe tha a sta da d se so with powe -savi g featu es added afte the fact.

LI-HDR fo Wide Dy amic Ra ge Without Motio A tifacts: T affic a d st eet-level sce es outi ely combi e di ect su light, deep shadow, a d vehicle headlights withi the same f ame, which is exactly the co ditio sta da d exposu e ha dli g st uggles with. As a AR0544 LI-HDR Came a, the Falco -544CRH exte ds dy amic a ge f om a si gle li ea exposu e athe tha combi i g multiple f ames afte captu e, avoidi g the ghosti g that a movi g vehicle o pedest ia would othe wise i t oduce i to a ble ded HDR f ame. This LI-HDR USB Came a behavio holds up u de motio i ways multi-f ame HDR ca ot.

Wake o Motio fo Efficie t A ou d-the-Clock Ope atio : Ru i g thousa ds of u its co ti uously is a ely p actical fo a citywide deployme t, which is why the Falco -544CRH i cludes Wake o Motio powe ma ageme t as sta da d. As a Motio T igge ed USB Came a, it mo ito s the sce e at a f actio of o mal powe d aw a d wakes to full captu e o ly whe motio actually e te s the f ame, mea i gfully educi g the ave age powe a d ba dwidth cost of a la ge-scale ollout.

VCM Autofocus fo Sha p Images Ac oss Va yi g Dista ces: U like a fixed focus module, the Falco -544CRH uses a VCM Focus Came a Module that adjusts focus elect o ically athe tha equi i g a tech icia to set focus ma ually at i stallatio . This matte s di ectly fo pole-mou ted, ove head, a d va iable dista ce sma t city i stallatio s whe e the same came a model may eed to focus a ywhe e f om a few mete s to well beyo d typical fixed focus a ge.

USB 3.2 Ge 1 UVC Plug a d Play Compatibility: As a UVC USB 3.2 Ge 1 Came a, the Falco -544CRH e ume ates automatically o Wi dows, Li ux, macOS, a d A d oid without a p op ieta y d ive i stall, while the USB 3.2 Ge 1 i te face supplies the ba dwidth that full esolutio HDR st eami g actually equi es.
