Canon Multi Purpose Camera ME20F-SHN (SKU 9914B001AA)

Availability: 7-10 days delivery

The ME20F-SHN is a Full HD network camera designed for situations where visibility is almost nonexistent. Its 2.26MP full-frame CMOS sensor delivers an ISO level exceeding 4 million, enabling clear colour video capture in near-total darkness. This makes it suitable for critical surveillance and monitoring environments where light is severely limited.

Full HD Recording in Darkness

With a 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor, the camera records Full HD colour video even at 0.0005 lux. The extremely high sensitivity allows reliable performance in scenarios where other cameras would see nothing.

Network-Ready for Remote Use

The camera connects via Ethernet (RJ45, 100Base-TX), enabling remote operation, monitoring, and recording. Camera settings and video streams can be managed over the network, making it ideal for surveillance systems that require remote access.

Versatile Output Options

Video can be output through Ethernet, SDI, or HDMI, providing compatibility with a wide range of recording systems. Automated functions are available through alarm inputs and integrated video analytics.

High-Quality Full HD Output

The camera supports Full HD 1080p output over Ethernet, 3G/HD-SDI (4:2:2), and HDMI (4:4:4 or 4:2:2), ensuring clean, detailed images for professional-use environments.

Flexible Installation and Lens Compatibility

Thanks to its EF mount, the camera supports numerous EF and Cine Servo lenses, including those with 12-pin serial terminals. Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) allows quick installation using a single LAN cable.
