Optical Performance | Surveillance, robotics, environmental monitoring | 140° (Base) ▲170° (Advanced) field of view (exceeds industry standard 120° per ISO 5289) | Wider coverage reduces blind spots; Advanced enables panoramic views (captures 40% more area). | Advanced may have edge-resolution trade-offs (e.g., 1.2MP vs 1MP at max zoom). |
Focus Mechanism | Fixed-install security systems | Fixed focus optimized for 0.5m–∞ (meets IP67 durability standards) | No moving parts ensure reliability in harsh environments; cost-effective. | Inflexible for dynamic focus needs (e.g., close-up inspections require manual adjustment). |
Networking Capability | IoT, remote monitoring | IP68 (Base) ▲IP69K (Advanced) rating (surpasses industry standard IP65) | Advanced withstands high-pressure water jets (ideal for outdoor use). | Base may require enclosures in extreme conditions; Advanced adds $20 to cost. |
Storage Solution | Edge computing, data logging | USB 2.0 (Base) ▲USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Advanced) (5 Gbps vs industry standard 480 Mbps) | Advanced reduces latency in high-speed data transfers (e.g., 4K video capture). | Base may bottleneck real-time applications (e.g., slow write speeds for motion tracking). |
Infrared Technology | Night vision, facial recognition | IR range: 10m (Base) ▲20m (Advanced) at 850nm (complies with ASTM F2476) | Advanced enables clear imaging in complete darkness (e.g., 20m vs 10m baseline). | Advanced consumes 20% more power, shortening battery life in portable setups. |
Power Efficiency | Battery-operated devices | 0.5W (Base) ▲0.3W (Advanced) (below industry standard 0.7W) | Advanced extends battery life by 40% (ideal for remote IoT sensors). | Base may not meet ultra-low-power requirements (e.g., solar-powered systems). |
