The ability to remotely monitor security systems over the World Wide Web has greatly impacted the success of IP network cameras and the security and surveillance industry. However, the safe installation of outdoor IP cameras is proving to be a daunting task. The challenge comes from the sensitive internal electronics contained within IP cameras. Outdoor security cameras of the past did not contain such intricate internal mechanics and therefore did not require costly protective enclosures.

In an effort to mitigate the need for expensive enclosures, Toshiba has introduced their IK-WB80A, an outdoor IP camera designed with the harsh ruggedness of nature in mind. The IK-WB80A is engineered to withstand the strongest elements such as snow, freezing rain, sabotage and extreme temperature changes. Not only does its metallic casing adhere to the strict regulations of the IP66 International standards, it also eradicates the need to invest in any form of external protective housing.  Security and surveillance professionals can rest assured that the IK-WB80A will provide the most advanced level of video security available while installed outdoors.

This IP camera was designed specifically with exceptional video surveillance capabilities in mind. Not only does it feature a Vari-focal lens with 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom it also utilizes a 2 megapixel CMOS image sensor. The 1600 x 1200 resolution is extremely beneficial in large outdoor locations as it will provide security administration with a widespread visual of the entire location instead of breaking the image down among several cameras. The IK-WB80A maintains its high-quality capabilities during both daytime and night time hours.
