Key Features & Benefits
1. Total Room (or Yard) Coverage

2. Color Night Vision
Powered by the award-winning Starlight Sensor, the Pan v3 can see full color in environments up to 25x darker than traditional cameras. No more grainy black-and-white footage when the sun goes down.
3. Smart Motion Tracking
