Specially designed for use in challenging environments the DCS-6210 has a compact rugged, metal, IK10 (vandal proof) and IP66 (weatherproof) housing. This means that it is able to withstand sudden high impact, and adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the DCS-6210 has a Power over Ethernet (PoE) port which allows you to connect the camera to your network and power it through a single cable. This both expands and simplifies your deployment options by eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet, making deployment on ceilings much easier.
