VST-897EX-HaLow is a next-generation outdoor PIR motion sensor camera delivering near-instant visual alarm verification with WiFi HaLow. It captures Full HD (1920 × 1080) images and sends them to the panel, supporting live video streaming to speed decisions and reduce false dispatches. The camera remains fully battery-operated, using the SF1/F1 low-power RF protocol for routine communication and activating WiFi HaLow only during alarm image transfer, with automatic SF1/F1 backup, thereby optimizing power consumption. It also features over-the-lens infrared anti-masking, optional HDR, and AI human detection to improve image clarity and reduce false alarms. VST-897EX-Solar models add solar charging for lower maintenance and improved energy efficiency.
WiFi HaLow transmission
WiFi HaLow module, by operating on a low-power, long-range standard, deliver multiple benefits.
Faster alarm verification
Rapid image transmission enables much faster alarm verification, improving response time and strengthens protection.1.6
SecsFor HD
Live video streaming support
WiFi HaLow allows real-time video streaming for visual assessment of alarm events,providing greater accuracy in alarm verification.
Full HD imaging
Captures clear and detailed images up to 1920 × 1080 resolution, enhancing verification accuracy
Extended Coverage
Uses the sub-1 GHz spectrum to achieve significantly greater transmission distances than conventional WiFi.
Over-the-Lens Infrared Anti-masking
Anti-masking is improved through the over-the-lens method and Infrared Technology,detecting deliberate attempts to mask or cover the lens.
HDR Imaging
High Dynamic Range (HDR) improves clarity in high-contrast lighting environments,ensuring visibility in both bright and shadowed areas.
AI Detection for Enhanced Alarm Monitoring
The AI can determine human presence in images, enabling the Central Monitoring Station to prioritize alarm events efficiently and enhance response times.
Power-Efficient Operation
Uses low-power SF1/F1 protocol for daily operation and switches to WiFi HaLow only during image capture, optimizing battery efficiency.
Battery-Operated Design
PIR motion sensor camera is fully battery-operated for flexible, wire-free installation.
Integrated Solar Power System (Solar models only)
Harnesses solar energy to continuously charge the built-in battery to ensure long-term functionality for remote outdoor locations, reducing maintenance.OTA Firmware Update
