VST-897EX is a new-generation outdoor PIR motion sensor camera equipped with over-the-lens infrared anti-masking for higher level of security. It comes with Digitally Enhanced Detection Logic analyzes lux levels, temperature, and environmental factors to further reduce false alarms compared to its predecessor. It also supports optional AI functionality for enhanced detection precision and OTA firmware updates for remote system upgrades. Moreover, HDR technology delivers detailed images even in high-contrast lighting. With its robust build, it’s ideal for securing outdoor spaces such as backyards, gates, and open corridors. The VST-897EX-Solar models are further integrated with solar power system that seamlessly charges the device using sunlight, offering self-sustaining energy.
Anti-Masking
Over-the-lens infrared detection instantly identifies any attempt to block, cover, or tamper with the device—essential for outdoor sabotage protection.Digitally Enhanced Detection Logic for Reduced False Alarms
The newly added Digitally Enhanced Detection Logic feature evaluates lux, temperature, and motion patterns to accurately distinguish human presence from pets or environmental factors—significantly reducing false alarms.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
Supports Over-the-Air firmware updates, enabling remote upgrades and system enhancements without on-site maintenance.HDR Imaging
High Dynamic Range (HDR) improves clarity in high-contrast lighting environments, ensuring visibility in both bright and shadowed areas.SF1 Fast and Clear Visual Verification
The VST-897EX not only delivers HD-quality images but can also transmit photos in as fast as 4 seconds (at 320 x 240 resolution), enabling quicker and more effective visual verification.
AI Functionality
Enhances detection accuracy by intelligently identifying images with humans in them, reducing false alarms caused by environmental movement. Other Features
