2400S
A complete Full HD network-imaging platform in Watec’s compact form factor. The Watec WAT-2400S brings high-sensitivity color video, standards-based IP integration, and onboard recording capabilities to surveillance, remote monitoring, and space-constrained network systems. H.264 and MJPEG output supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps.
Its 1/2.8-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor provides 1945 × 1097 effective pixels and minimum illumination of 0.007 lx at F1.2 with AGC High at 72 dB and the shutter off. ONVIF Profile S, PoE or 12 to 36 VDC power, microSD recording, microphone input, WDR, 3D noise reduction, motion detection, and a back-focus-adjustable CS mount give integrators the flexibility to build capable, self-contained network imaging solutions.
The Watec WAT-2400S is a compact Full HD color network camera built around a 1/2.8-inch back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with 1945 × 1097 effective pixels. It provides H.264 and MJPEG network video at resolutions up to 1920 × 1080 and a maximum frame rate of 30 fps.

High-Sensitivity Imaging
Minimum illumination is 0.007 lx at F1.2 with AGC High at 72 dB and the shutter off. Automatic gain control is adjustable from 0 to 72 dB, while slow-shutter operation extends to ×32.
Image Processing and Camera Controls
Available imaging functions include adjustable WDR, adjustable 3D noise reduction, backlight compensation, HSBLC, white-blemish correction, adjustable sharpness, defog, mirror functions, 16 privacy masks, and four configurable motion-detection areas. White-balance modes include ATW, PWB, MWB, and presets for 3000K, 5000K, and 8000K.
Standalone microSD Recording
The microSD card slot supports standalone recording without a network connection. Recommended media includes SDHC or SDXC cards using MLC memory, Speed Class 10 or higher, and a capacity of 128 GB or less.
PoE and DC Power
The camera can be powered through IEEE 802.3af PoE or a stabilized 12 to 36 VDC supply. Power consumption is approximately 1.92 W through PoE and 1.56 W at 12 VDC. PoE and DC power must not be used at the same time.
Audio and Network Integration
The RJ45 network interface supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet. A four-pin connector provides DC power and microphone input. Camera settings are accessed through a web browser.
Lens and Mounting Integration
The back-focus-adjustable CS mount supports compatible CS-mount lenses, including DC auto-iris lenses. C-mount lenses can be installed with the optional 30CMA-R adapter.
Compact Construction
The camera measures approximately 34 × 34 × 50 mm and weighs approximately 80 grams. It includes a 300 mm four-pin cable, hex wrench, and clamp filter.
