Explore the complete ecosystem of Prama’s certified surveillance solutions at our official Prama camera collection. Every unit is sourced directly from authorised channels and carries full manufacturer?verified specifications with STQC compliance documentation.

STQC Certification – The Mark of Trust for Critical Infrastructure

The PT-NC123D3-N(D2) is one of the few IP cameras in its class to carry STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification) approval. This government?recognised certification verifies that the camera meets stringent parameters for performance, reliability, interoperability, and cybersecurity. For system integrators and procurement officials working on central and state government tenders, this certification eliminates compliance hurdles and ensures that deployed surveillance infrastructure adheres to India’s national security frameworks.

The certification process involves exhaustive testing of imaging accuracy, network security protocols, environmental durability, and long?term operational stability. By choosing the PT?NC123D3?N(D2), you are selecting a camera that has been validated not only by Prama’s internal quality systems but also by an independent, government?accredited testing body.

Compact Turret Form Factor – Unobtrusive Coverage

Unlike traditional bullet cameras that project prominently from mounting surfaces, the PT-NC123D3-N(D2) employs a sleek turret (dome) design that sits flush and discreet. With dimensions of just Ø112?mm × 82?mm, it occupies minimal visual space while delivering professional?grade surveillance capabilities. The three?axis adjustment mechanism provides exceptional installation flexibility:

• Pan: 0° to 360° – complete horizontal rotation
• Tilt: 0° to 75° – optimal downward angle for corridor and entryway monitoring
• Rotate: 0° to 360° – perfect image alignment regardless of mounting orientation

This adjustment range ensures that the camera can be precisely aimed to cover specific areas of interest while maintaining a professional, unobtrusive appearance suitable for hotels, offices, hospitals, and retail environments.

High-Quality Imaging Day and Night

At the heart of the PT-NC123D3-N(D2) lies a 1/2.9? progressive?scan CMOS sensor that resolves true 1920×1080 pixels at fluid 25/30 fps. The sensor’s exceptional low?light sensitivity (0.005 Lux colour) preserves vibrant colours even as ambient light fades. When illumination drops further, the camera instantly engages its 850?nm infrared array, providing uniform coverage up to 30 metres. Smart IR technology continuously measures scene brightness and modulates LED intensity in real time—close subjects never wash out, while distant details remain sharply defined.

The mechanical IR cut filter automatically switches between day and night modes, ensuring accurate colour reproduction during daylight and maximum infrared sensitivity after dark. This delivers consistent, evidentiary?grade imagery across the full 24?hour surveillance cycle.

Intelligent Human and Vehicle Classification

The PT-NC123D3-N(D2) features an onboard deep?learning inference engine that elevates motion detection beyond simple pixel?change analysis. Its advanced algorithms recognise the distinct shape, aspect ratio, and movement patterns of humans and four?wheeled vehicles. Alarms are triggered only when a genuine security threat appears, virtually eliminating nuisance notifications from animals, swaying foliage, shadows, or passing headlights.

Detection parameters are fully configurable:

• Select alarm triggering by specific target types (human only, vehicle only, or both)
• Draw custom detection zones within the camera’s field of view
• Program linkage actions including email alerts with snapshots, FTP/SFTP uploads, and surveillance centre notifications
• Configure motion detection sensitivity and threshold independently for each zone

This intelligence transforms the camera from a passive recording device into an active, proactive security sensor.

Technical Specifications

Efficient H.265 Compression – Store More, Spend Less

The PT-NC123D3-N(D2) supports H.265 and H.264 compression standards. By selecting H.265, you can reduce bandwidth and storage consumption by approximately 50% compared to H.264 while maintaining identical image quality. This efficiency is particularly valuable for large?scale government and enterprise deployments where hundreds of cameras operate continuously, and storage infrastructure costs are significant.

Dual?stream support enables simultaneous high?definition recording and low?resolution remote viewing without transcoding overhead. The sub?stream can be independently configured for 640×480 or 640×360 resolution, optimised for mobile access over cellular networks and bandwidth?constrained connections.

Flexible Power Options – PoE & 12V DC

Installation versatility is a hallmark of this camera. It accepts Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) for single?cable data and power delivery—ideal for new constructions and professional installations where minimising cabling complexity is paramount. For retrofit projects or locations where PoE switches are unavailable, the camera also accepts standard 12?V DC input via its Ø5.5?mm coaxial power connector. Both power paths are protected against reverse polarity and transient surges.

For optimal system integration, pair this camera with our selection of PoE switches engineered for Prama IP camera systems.

Rugged IP67 Protection – Indoor and Outdoor Ready

Despite its compact dome profile, the PT-NC123D3-N(D2) is fully certified to IP67 ingress protection standards. Its sealed housing is dust?tight and can withstand temporary immersion in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. This makes the camera equally suitable for sheltered indoor corridors and fully exposed outdoor perimeters. The operating temperature range of -30?°C to +60?°C ensures reliable performance across India’s diverse climatic zones—from the freezing Himalayan winters to the blistering summers of the Deccan plateau.

The metal?reinforced housing provides excellent impact resistance, while the dome material is treated to resist scratching and UV degradation. This ensures long?term optical clarity and aesthetic consistency even after years of continuous outdoor exposure.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Protection

Recognising that IP cameras are increasingly targeted by malicious actors, Prama has equipped the PT-NC123D3-N(D2) with multiple layers of defence. All web interfaces default to HTTPS encryption; 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 prevents unauthorised code from being installed on the device.

Administrators can create up to 32 individual user accounts with three distinct privilege levels (administrator, operator, user), ensuring granular access control. Video watermarking provides evidentiary authentication, allowing recorded footage to be verified as original and untampered—a critical requirement for law enforcement and judicial proceedings.
