The DPRO-520MVF is a dome security camera with a white base. The DPRO-520MVF has the exact same specifications as the DPRO-9620VFW. It is actually the exact same camera; the onlye difference is that the DPRO-520MVF is dual voltage (supports 12v DC or 24VAC power supplies). This infrared dome CCTV camera has a 1/3" Sony Super HAD Ex-View image sensor that supports 700 TV lines of resolution in color (day mode) and B&W night mode (low light and zero light infrared). This camera works with the new 960H format DVRs as well as traditional D1 CCTV DVRs.
The 2.8 to 12mm varifocal lens provides control over the focal length of the camera. The varifocal lens allows one to customize the field of view from extremely wide to tightly zoomed in. For example, mounting the camera 20ft away from a cash register, allows one to closely monitor that point of sale when the lens is adjusted in to the 12mm setting.
The DPRO-9620VF(W) infrared dome security camera has 35 built-in IR LEDs and supports two selectable night vision modes. The first solely using its low light (0.0001 LUX) capacity and Sense-Up intensifier technology. The second night mode utilizes the infrared LEDs which support up to an 80 foot infrared viewing range in total darkness.
In addition to being a high end IR / night vision camera, the 520MVF also has built in WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) capability which allows for compensation in foreground & background lighting; which essentially combines the darkest part of the image with the brightest part of the image to produce one highly detailed and balanced image.

DPRO-9620VFW).
Optional Wall Mount Bracket
This is the
optional wall mount bracket that is available for the DPRO-520MVF. If you do not want to use this bracket, the DPRO-520MVF can directly be installed to a ceiling or wall without it because of the built-in tri-axis mount of the camera.

Recommended Surveillance Installations / Applications

- Installations which require high TVL video resolution
- Variable lighting level, such as bright light, low light or total darkness
- Areas with intense backround lighting because the camera includes wide dynamic range (WDR)
- Ceiling mount or wall mount application using the tri-axis mount
- Great for residential, commercial, and government surveillance installations
- Recommended to be mounted a total distance of between 5 and 50 feet away from the area under surveillance. Refer to CCTV camera lens chart.
- Custom field of view; Camera has a 2.8 to 12mm varifocal lens which allows one to customize the field of view by manually changing the zoom from 2.8 to 12mm.
- If a black base is preferred for your needs, please select the DPRO-9620VF dome IR camera (DC power only)
Security Camera Specification
These 2 sample images were taken using the DPRO-520MVF which are currently being used in our Palm Beach, Florida office / warehouse. This room is 30 feet long by 15 feet wide. The camera is ceiling mounted 9.5 feet high and centered on the room.
This first image was taken
during the day with the office lights on. The camera is connected to our
iDVR-PRO8 video surveillance DVR and the snapshot function was used to take these two pictures.
The second picture was taken at night with the
office lights and computer monitors turned off, thus creating a true zero light test. As you can see from the image below, the camera has no problem illuminating a room 30 feet long by 15 feet wide, in zero light.
Surveillance Images from Latest Generation Camera
The following sample images were captured using the latest generation DPRO-520MVF and
iDVR-E8 surveillance DVR. The DPRO-520MVF dome camera is mounted 8.5 feet high with the lens adjusted to 3.6mm (almost to the widest setting). The room is in CCTV Camera Pros office and is 13 x 21 with 10 foot ceilings.
The first sample photo is with the office fluorescent lights ON so that the camera is in color day time mode.
This second image was captured with all of the office lights off and one computer monitor on to cast some ambient light in the room. The 520MVF is in night time IR mode with its infrared LEDs on..
This last image was captured after Mike turned the computer monitor off in the room to create a zero light environment. There is little to no difference between the ambient light picture and the picture with zero light. This camera does an outstanding job of illuminating a room this size.
This video demonstrates the normal light, low light, and zero light infrared capability of the DPRO-520MVF.
Smart IR
This camera uses built in smart IR technology which allows the camera to automatically adjust the intensity of the infrared illumination provided by the built in IR LEDs based on the distance objects are located from the camera. Click to
