AV Costar AV5856DNIR-S 5MP Outdoor Network Dome Camera

The AV Costar AV5856DNIR‑S is a 5 megapixel outdoor network dome camera from the ConteraIP MicroDome LX line (also marketed under IDIS branding). It uses a 1/2.8‑inch progressive CMOS sensor and comes with a fixed 2.8 mm lens (M12 mount, f/1.6) suited for wide‑angle coverage (about 98° horizontal field of view). It offers true day/night functionality via a mechanical IR cut filter plus built‑in IR illumination (three 850 nm LEDs) allowing visibility up to about 50 feet (≈ 15 m) in darkness. Light handling is enhanced by Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) of up to 120 dB so that shaded and bright scenes are better balanced. It supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) and 12 V DC, meaning flexible power options. Built to endure outdoor conditions, it is IP66 rated (weather proof) and has an IK10 vandal‑resistant housing. The camera includes a 3‑axis adjustable gimbal so you can pan, tilt, and rotate for optimal placement. It has microSDXC support up to 1 TB for onboard storage. Network features include support for multiple streaming formats (H.265, H.264, MJPEG), ONVIF compliance, alarm input/output, and a wide operating temperature range (roughly ‑20 °C to +50 °C). In short it’s a robust, high‑resolution dome camera suited for outdoor surveillance where durability, night vision, and fine detail are needed.
