The Performance Series rounds out Honeywell’s camera portfolio with a variety of indoor, outdoor and low light cameras that lets end users pick the perfect camera for virtually any installation. Ideal for a diverse range of applications, the Performance Series includes a wide range of high performing IR bullet cameras and mini-domes that are easy to install and even easier to use.

The Performance Series Plus line offers all of the above features plus the additional flexibility of dual voltage. Part of the Performance Series Plus line, the Honeywell HD273 is a true day/night camera with 20 integrated LEDs that switches from color to black and white mode. A mechanical IR cut filter within the camera switches allowing perfect color pictures by day and clear black and white images at night. The HD273 utilizes smart infrared technology. Auto LED brightness adjustment provides even distribution of the IR, eliminating excessive illumination and washed out video. The HD273 incorporates a 1/3" CCD that offers 600 TV lines of crisp, clear horizontal resolution. The camera comes equipped with a built-in 3.8 – 9.5 mm Vari-focal DC Iris lens for increased optical versatility and no focus shift when the camera switches from day to night mode. The 3-D axis gimbal allows versatile positioning and instant centering of the video image. In addition, the lens is separated from the LEDs by an IR boot which eliminates internal IR glare.

The built-in breather vent effectively stops all humidity buildup to eliminate weather-related issues, loss of critical video, or possibly having to replace the camera.

The HD273 installs quickly and easily. It comes standard with a 2-pin 'Phoenix' style connector so there is no need to cut wires during installation. It also features a video out port for easy focus. The HD273 is designed for use in challenging environments. It is IP66 rated for outdoor installations, but can also be installed indoors, mounted directly to a ceiling or wall.

Market Opportunities
The HD273 is a cost-effective surveillance solution for applications that experience changing light conditions throughout the day and require extra illumination at night. The HD273 offers a simple yet solid design that provides optimum performance for both indoor and outdoor applications including schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, commercial sites, industrial parks, airports, gated entrances, foyers, loading docks and driveways.
