Dallmeier RDF5140DN (12 - 40 mm)

Monitoring expansive outdoor areas with a single camera often means compromising on detail or coverage. The Dallmeier RDF5140DN solves this by combining a 5-megapixel sensor with a motorized 12–40 mm varifocal lens, delivering sharp, high-resolution video across wide or distant scenes. Its rugged IP66 and IK10 housing ensures reliable operation in harsh weather and high-risk environments, making it ideal for perimeter surveillance, parking lots, and industrial sites.
