{"product_id":"the-watchtower-annke-12mp-3k-poe-camera","title":"The Watchtower | ANNKE 12MP 3K Dual Light PoE Security Camera","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA security camera is judged twice: once when you buy it, and again at three in the morning when something has happened and you need to know what. The second judgement is where resolution stops being a specification and becomes the difference between a shape in a hoodie and a face you can hand to someone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera records at 12 megapixels, roughly 4096 by 3072, which is three times the pixel count of the 4 megapixel cameras that dominate the same price band. The 1\/2.7 inch back side illuminated sensor and F1.6 lens gather enough light to keep colour in the picture after dark, and a pair of lights on the housing switches between infrared and visible illumination so night footage stays in colour instead of grey. 120 dB wide dynamic range keeps a face readable against a bright doorway or a headlight, H.265+ keeps file sizes and bandwidth down, and the IP67 housing takes weather without a separate enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower and data arrive on one Ethernet cable through PoE, and footage can record to a microSD card up to 512 gigabytes inside the camera, so nothing depends on a monthly subscription. Human and vehicle detection filters out the motion of trees and cats, which is the difference between a useful alert and a phone that gets muted after the first week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe camera is cheap.
