The Prama PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) is a professional?grade 6?megapixel bullet network camera purpose?built for applications that require exceptional image detail, adaptive illumination, and installation versatility. As the first STQC?certified 6MP camera with integrated Smart Dual Light and hybrid Wi?Fi connectivity, it represents a significant advancement in Indian?made surveillance technology. This camera delivers forensic?quality video evidence across smart city corridors, industrial perimeters, government complexes, and heritage sites where both clarity and deployment flexibility are non?negotiable.

Discover the full spectrum of Prama’s STQC?certified surveillance ecosystem at our dedicated Prama camera collection. Every unit is sourced from authorised distribution channels and carries manufacturer?verified specifications with full warranty support.

STQC Certification – The Mark of Trust for National Projects

The PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) is rigorously tested and certified by India’s Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification directorate. This government?accredited validation confirms that the camera meets stringent benchmarks for imaging performance, network security, environmental resilience, and long?term operational stability. For system integrators and procurement officials working on central and state government tenders, smart city initiatives, and public sector undertakings, STQC certification eliminates costly third?party verification and ensures full compliance with national security directives. Critically, the certification extends to the camera’s wireless module, validating its encryption strength, interference immunity, and seamless failover behaviour.

6?Megapixel Ultra?HD – Detail That Defines Evidence

At the heart of the PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) is a 1/2.4?inch progressive?scan CMOS sensor capable of resolving 3200×1800 pixels at 20 frames per second. With 5.76 million effective pixels, this sensor delivers over 2.6 times the pixel count of a standard 1080p camera and 1.5 times that of a 4MP camera. This extraordinary resolution translates directly to forensic capability: you can identify faces, vehicle registration plates, and other critical details at significantly greater distances, or you can monitor wider areas with a single camera while retaining the ability to digitally zoom during playback without losing evidentiary clarity. The sensor’s 120 dB True Wide Dynamic Range ensures balanced exposure in challenging backlight scenes such as building entrances, parking garage ramps, and sun?drenched perimeters.

Smart Dual Light – True 24/7 Colour Surveillance

Conventional night vision cameras rely solely on infrared (IR) illumination, producing monochrome images that lack colour information. The PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) breaks this limitation by integrating both high?power 850?nm IR LEDs and warm white light LEDs, each with an effective illumination range of 30 metres. Its intelligent illumination engine offers three fully configurable operating modes:

• IR Mode: Covert black?and?white surveillance with invisible illumination, ideal for discreet monitoring of sensitive areas.
• White Light Mode: Full?colour night vision that acts as a visible deterrent while capturing evidentiary colour detail, perfect for retail environments, residential complexes, and entry points.
• Smart Dual Light Mode: The camera remains in covert IR mode until motion is detected, then instantly switches to white light for colour identification and active deterrence. This hybrid approach combines the stealth of IR with the deterrent power of white light, all within a single camera.

Smart Supplement Light technology continuously measures scene brightness and dynamically modulates LED intensity, preventing overexposure of nearby subjects while maintaining uniform illumination across the full 30?metre coverage area.

Integrated High?Sensitivity Microphone

Unlike many IP cameras that require external audio modules, the PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) features a built?in, factory?calibrated microphone with advanced environmental noise filtering. It captures clear, synchronised audio that complements video evidence—essential for retail point?of?sale monitoring, banking transaction verification, and corporate security. The microphone supports multiple audio compression formats including G.711, G.722.1, G.726, MP2L2, PCM, and AAC?LC, with user?selectable sampling rates of 8 kHz or 16 kHz. Audio bit rates range from 16 to 64 Kbps depending on the selected codec, allowing you to balance audio quality and storage efficiency.

Hybrid Wi?Fi Connectivity – Wired and Wireless Freedom

The PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) incorporates a robust 2.4 GHz Wi?Fi module compliant with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards. It ships with a detachable RP?SMA antenna that can be upgraded to high?gain directional antennas for extended range or repositioned remotely using extension cables. The camera’s intelligent hybrid mode automatically prioritises wired Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) when an active cable is detected, disabling Wi?Fi to prevent network conflicts. When the Ethernet link is unavailable or disconnected, the camera seamlessly switches to wireless operation without any manual reconfiguration. This dual?mode design provides unlimited deployment flexibility:

• Use Power over Ethernet (PoE) for new constructions where cabling is fresh and accessible.
• Deploy wirelessly in heritage buildings, leased commercial spaces, and temporary sites where trenching or conduit installation is impractical or prohibited.
• Mix wired and wireless cameras within a single project based on site?specific constraints.

Technical Specifications

H.265+ Compression – Store More, Spend Less

The PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) supports H.265+ intelligent compression technology, which dynamically optimises encoding parameters to reduce bitrate by up to 50% compared to standard H.265 and up to 75% compared to H.264—all while maintaining full 6MP resolution. This efficiency is transformative for high?resolution systems, dramatically lowering storage costs and network bandwidth consumption. Dual?stream capability allows simultaneous recording at 6MP for forensic archiving and low?resolution streaming for remote viewing over cellular networks or bandwidth?constrained wireless links.

Flexible Power Options – PoE and 12V DC

Installers can choose between IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) for single?cable convenience or traditional 12?V DC input. Maximum power draw is an impressively low 6.5?W under PoE and 4.92?W under DC power, making the camera highly energy?efficient even at 6MP resolution. For wireless deployments, the camera requires a 12?V DC supply (adapter available separately).

For optimal system integration, pair this camera with our selection of Prama?optimised PoE switches; for extended wireless coverage, combine with industrial?grade Wi?Fi routers.

Rugged IP67 Construction – Built for Indian Climates

The PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) is engineered to withstand India’s most challenging environmental conditions. Its IP67?rated enclosure is completely dust?tight and can withstand temporary immersion in one metre of water for 30 minutes. The operating temperature range of -30?°C to +60?°C guarantees reliable startup and continuous operation from the frozen heights of the Himalayas to the scorching heat of the Thar Desert. The metal?reinforced housing provides excellent impact resistance, while the weather?sealed RP?SMA antenna connector prevents moisture ingress when properly hand?tightened. For extreme coastal environments, we recommend applying dielectric grease to the antenna connector threads for additional corrosion protection.

Enterprise?Grade Cybersecurity

Prama has embedded multiple layers of defence into the PT-NC160D3-WNM(D2) to address the growing threat landscape of IP surveillance. All web interfaces enforce HTTPS encryption by default; ONVIF communications can be secured with digest authentication; and the camera supports TLS 1.3—the latest, most robust transport layer security protocol. A digitally signed firmware update mechanism blocks unauthorised code from being installed on the device. Administrators can create up to 32 individual user accounts with granular permissions (administrator, operator, user). Video watermarking ensures that recorded footage remains tamper?evident and can be authenticated as original—a critical requirement for law enforcement and judicial proceedings.
