Jordan O'BrienMerit LILIN is starting off the new year with a bang, with the firm expanding its 4K range of security cameras with a new 4K mini dome, while it has also announced the promotion of its UK sales manager to the role of CEO.
The ZHR6482EX2 dome camera promises to provide four times the pixel resolution of a standard HD camera, which should help with the identification of would-be intruders. The 4K ZHR6482EX2 is made even more effective thanks to the addition of autofocus and a motorised zoom lens; it’s this zoom lens which should make the 4K resolution infinitely more useful than other 4K cameras on the market, such as the Nest Cam IQ, which predominantly rely on the higher resolution for better digital zoom.
While Merit LILIN is having to contend with consumer-grade smart cameras from Nest, Ring and Arlo, the firm’s range is arguably the smartest and most versatile currently on the market. That’s largely thanks to a huge array of different options from PTZ to facial recognition cameras and everything in between. Each of the company’s smart cameras also offer advanced features such as Tripwire, Tamper and Advanced Motion Detection.
Availability of the new ZHR6482EX2 has yet to be announced.
