Vista Releases Ultra Low Light Camera Utilising ‘Darkbuster’ Technology
1st December, Reading UK
Vista is pleased to announce the introduction of the VK2-HD30LRIR-PM, a PTZ dome with 500m IR
illumination. An addition to the VK2 range, this 1080p 30:1 optical PTZ pendant mount camera
utilises a highly sensitive 1/1.9” Sony Exmor CMOS chipset to produce stunning quality colour
images. An excellent image quality can still be produced at night when using the camera’s
Darkbuster mode for ultra low light situations.
For instances where there is no ambient lighting, the VK2-HD30LRIR-PM includes integral IR
illumination. This tracks with the zoom function of the camera providing optimum illumination over
the zoom range for balanced images at distances of up to 500m. For troublesome scenes of view,
the VK2-D30LRIR-PM incorporates true WDR (120dB).Increased functionality is also facilitated
thanks to 4 alarm inputs, 2 way audio and the ability to record directly to a Micro SD memory card.
The camera has been designed with a quick fit, quarter turn bayonet adaptor which means it can be
installed into any standard 1.5” NPT threaded bracket. This makes installation quicker and easier
whilst also avoiding excessive twisting on the cabling.
The VK2-HD30LRIR-PM is ONVIF compliant and fully compatible with Vista’s software and hardware
recording and control solutions as well as other 3rd party manufacturers’ VMS systems.

a fantastic addition to the VK2 range. When in Darkbuster mode the camera produces stunning
quality colour images in extremely low light conditions and the use of 500m of IR illumination in
monochrome mode allows for outstanding distances to be covered by the camera.”
