With its standard 640 x 480 pixel (VGA) resolution, the Basler BIP-640c and BIP-640c-dn (day/night) IP camera is especially impressive not only for the high frame rates it can achieve by deploying an MJPEG encoder, but also by what it can realize with MPEG-4 and H.264 decoders. The use of a high-performance CCD imaging sensor from Sony provides exceptional sensitivity for low-light conditions. And the exceptionally compact housing makes the BIP-640c and BIP-640c-dn (day/night) a convincing alternative to more conventional VGA network cameras. Day/night functionality: True day/night functionality via an automatically retractable IR-cut filter provides a high image quality color mode for daylight applications and a black and white mode for night and low light conditions.
