xTiandy TC-C38XQ 8MP Color Maker & Early Warning IP Camera
Proactive security requires more than just recording crime after it happens—it requires active deterrence. The Tiandy TC-C38XQ (Spec:I3W/E/Y/2.8mm/V4.2) is a state-of-the-art 8MP (4K) IP Fixed Turret Camera that combines Color Maker low-light technology with Tiandy's signature Early Warning (EW) active defense system.
Designed for high-risk environments including banking headquarters, oil & gas installations, free zone logistics hubs, diplomatic premises, and mining compounds across Ghana, the TC-C38XQ delivers crystal-clear 3840×2160 video while automatically warning trespassers off the premises using visual and acoustic alarms.
4K Ultra HD Detail with Color Maker Starlight Technology
Standard security cameras switch to blurry black-and-white mode when night falls. The TC-C38XQ breaks this barrier using an advanced 1/2.8" CMOS sensor paired with an ultra-large F1.6 aperture and Color Maker Starlight technology. It retains full-color video down to an incredible 0.002 Lux.
When operating in total darkness (0 Lux), the camera utilizes dual supplemental lighting systems:
- Smart IR LEDs (Up to 30m): For discrete long-range infrared coverage.
- Warm White Light LEDs (Up to 15m): Providing natural full-color illumination when active deterrence or full-color verification is required.
Deep Learning AI: Human & Vehicle Classification
Eliminate false alarm fatigue caused by wind, rain, stray animals, or moving tree branches. The TC-C38XQ incorporates deep-learning AI algorithms that specifically filter and identify human and vehicle targets. Security personnel can set precise boundary rules:
- Perimeter Intrusion Detection: Trigger immediate alerts when unauthorized personnel enter restricted site zones.
- Virtual Tripwires: Monitor fence lines, vehicle gates, and warehouse access corridors in real time.
Early Warning (EW) Active Deterrence & Two-Way Audio
When an intruder crosses a defined virtual boundary, the TC-C38XQ transitions from a passive recorder into an active guard:
- Visual Alarm: Flashes intense warm white LED strobe lights to warn off the target.
- Acoustic Warning: Plays customizable voice alerts or siren sounds through its built-in high-decibel speaker.
- Two-Way Audio Intercom: Integrates a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling security operators to directly speak to visitors or warn off trespassers live from their mobile app or control room.
Engineered for Harsh Climate Conditions in Ghana
West Africa's coastal salt air, equatorial heat, and torrential tropical rain demand rugged hardware. The TC-C38XQ features a robust all-metal housing with an IP66 rating, fully protecting internal optics from water ingress, dust, and humidity. Built with 6000V ESD protection and 4000V surge protection, it is protected against voltage spikes caused by unstable power grids or lightning strikes.
Intelligent Storage & Efficient Bandwidth Compression
Using Tiandy's proprietary S+265 video compression, the camera reduces bandwidth usage and storage requirements by up to 75% compared to standard H.264 codecs without degrading 4K image clarity. The onboard MicroSD card slot supports up to 512GB local storage, featuring ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) to temporarily store video locally if the connection to the main NVR drops.
