The 3-series also includes the WV-SW314, WV-SW316 and WV-SW316L outdoor network box cameras. The WV-SW316 is equipped with a motorized varifocal lens to enable the zoom ratio to be adjusted using operation buttons and the setup menu. The WV-SW316L also has a built-in infrared LED illuminator for low-light viewing. The SmartHD 1-series includes the WV-SW155, a 720 p HD outdoor compact dome camera for mobile solutions featuring H.264 compression and Super Dynamic with face detection.
