Finally, the infrared LED allows images to be acquired even in conditions of total darkness, at least up to a maximum distance of 5 meters.

As for codecs, in addition to the classic h.264 and MJPEG, HEVC, H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding is also supported. There is a slot for a microSD card with a maximum capacity of 256 GB, useful in case network problems are detected.
