Click to enlarge image(s)

The WZ18 brings together 550 TVL high resolution imaging, mechanical filter CCD technology and ruthlessly efficient friendly design. The camera delivers 65ft (~20m) of high performance night vision, as tested by the Extreme CCTV engineers, industry leaders in active-infrared. The WZ18 is backed by an advance replacement guarantee, ensuring you get maximum value for your dollar. Made by Canadians for harsh Canadian Weather.

The WZ18 incorporates 18 LEDs which are powerful enough to drive infrared to a maximum range of 100ft (~30m). For the purposes of CCTV surveillance imaging, the resulting infrared illumination delivers high performance night vision images up to a distance of 65ft (~20m).

The WZ18 uses a 1/3" CCD image sensor, delivering 550 TVL images. Using a dual window IR-Cut and IR-Pass filter, the WZ18 delivers vivid color during day and exceptional performance to infrared at night. The mechanical filter technology helps eliminate focus shift and infrared bleed for effective 24/7 performance.

The WZ18 incorporates a 3-12mm Varifocal, auto-iris lens for versatile optical function. Focus and zoom are controlled externally by hand, requiring no tools for adjustments and making WZ18 a true Plug and Play camera.

Designed to IP66 environmental standards, WZ18 operates on either 12 VDC or 24 VAC. Photocell-controlled operation increases energy efficiency and ensures accurate day-night switching for outstanding 24/7 performance. A 360deg pan / 90de tilt bracket and sunshield are both included as standard.

The WZ18 is backed by a standard limited 1-year advance replacement guarantee.

Extreme's WZ series Cameras Deliver Lightning Proof Performance

WZ18 Integrated Day-Night Cameras Delivering Results in Conditions that Ruined Other Cameras
Popular brands of all-weather bullet cameras were experiencing weekly failures at two residential estates of a Fortune 500 President. Despite the presence of lightning rods, the cameras could not survive current spikes caused by lightning storms. The cameras suffered irreversible electrical damage and needed replacement, resulting in increased costs, system downtime and compromised security. The President decided to replace all 64 cameras with Extreme CCTV's WZ series WZ18 Integrated Day-Night cameras. Designed for robustness in extreme weather, the WZ18 cameras have delivered excellent 24/7 performance in the months following... without a single failure caused by voltage overload.

"The WZ18 cameras are a lot more robust than what we used previously and we have not had even a single outage despite our frequent lighting storms. They also deliver great imaging performance day and night. I am very pleased overall." - President, Fortune 500 Company (company undisclosed for privacy)

The CEO of a multi-billion Fortune 500company (undisclosed for privacy) values the WZ18 for its excellent electrical robustness. While conventional cameras were ruined by lightning storms on a weekly basis, not a single WZ18 camera has failed due to voltage overload.

Problem: Cameras Can't Weather the Storm

Popular bullet cameras damaged by electrical arcing during lighting storms

Extreme susceptibility to electrical pulses

Lightning storms resulting in weekly camera replacements and repairs

High maintenance costs, system downtime and compromised security

Solution: WZ18 Delivers Robust Performance

Robustly designed voltage regulation

Engineered for protection against arcs and overloads

Reliable performance through lightning storms and voltage surges

24/7 performance day and night under extreme conditions

Results: Surveillance that Works

Lowered operation and maintenance costs

Longer operational lifetime of camera

Uncompromised 24/7 surveillance under extreme weather

Excellent imaging day-night performance of the various assets at the residential estates including horse stables, swimming pools and guest homes.

Thriving in an environment that ruined other cameras on a weekly basis, the WZ18 produced lower operational and maintenance costs while delivering effective 24/7 surveillance at the residential estates.

The WZ18 is to provide rare video footage of endangered cats for wildlife research
Designed for 24/7 operation in challenging conditions, the WZ18 produces vivid daytime color and 65ft active-infrared night vision. The WZ18 cameras are installed at such locations as alpine and sub-alpine mountains of Central Asia, the inhospitable deserts of the Andes and the sub-zero temperatures of the Tibetan highlands.
