Description
The SCHNEIDER P3U30-6AAA1BCAA is a high-performance, outdoor-ready network PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera from Pelco by Schneider Electric, designed for demanding video surveillance applications requiring long-range identification and 24/7 reliability. Part of the Sarix Professional series, this integrated dome camera combines a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor with a 30x optical zoom lens (6.0–180 mm), delivering crisp, detailed imagery from wide-area overviews to license plate or facial recognition at distance.
Equipped with powerful Smart Compression (H.265/H.264), built-in 80-meter infrared (IR) illumination, and advanced imaging technologies like Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and True Day/Night functionality, the P3U30-6AAA1BCAA excels in challenging lighting—from direct sunlight to near-total darkness. It supports multiple streaming profiles, ONVIF Profile S compliance, and legacy Pelco protocols (Pelco-D/P), ensuring seamless integration into both modern IP video management systems (VMS) and hybrid analog-to-IP upgrades.
Housed in a rugged IP66 and IK10-rated enclosure with a sunshield and heater/blower for extreme climates (–40°C to +65°C), the P3U30-6AAA1BCAA is ideal for perimeter security, transportation hubs, utility substations, and industrial sites where environmental resilience and operational continuity are critical.

Main Features and Advantages
✅ 30x Optical Zoom with Sharp Imaging
From a 60° wide view to a narrow 2° telephoto, the P3U30-6AAA1BCAA captures fine details at distances exceeding 300 meters—ideal for monitoring large perimeters without blind spots.
✅ All-Weather Reliability
The heavy-duty aluminum housing, corrosion-resistant coating, and integrated climate control (heater + blower) ensure uninterrupted operation in snow, sandstorms, or tropical humidity.
✅ Intelligent Bandwidth Management
With H.265 Smart Compression, the camera reduces bandwidth and storage needs by up to 50% compared to H.264—without sacrificing image quality—lowering total cost of ownership.
✅ Flexible Integration & Control
Supports ONVIF, Pelco-D/P, and Pelco’s VideoXpert VMS, enabling plug-and-play deployment in multi-vendor environments. Also features web-based configuration and mobile viewing.
✅ Advanced Night Vision
Automatic IR cut filter and 80m IR LEDs provide clear monochrome video in complete darkness, while Smart IR prevents overexposure of nearby objects.
✅ Power over Ethernet++ (802.3bt)
Simplifies installation with single-cable power and data via PoE++, eliminating need for local AC outlets—especially valuable in remote tower or mast installations.

Installation and Maintenance
? Installation Tips:
Use Cat6A or better cable for PoE++ to minimize voltage drop over long runs (>60m).
Ensure the mounting surface can support >10 kg (22 lbs) dynamic load during pan/tilt motion.
Configure IP address via Pelco Discovery Tool or DHCP before final mounting.
Enable “Privacy Masks” to comply with GDPR/local privacy laws if covering public areas.
?️ Maintenance Recommendations:
Clean the dome regularly with mild soapy water—avoid solvents that damage anti-reflective coating.
Verify IR performance quarterly in low-light conditions.
Update firmware annually via Pelco Support Portal to access bug fixes and new features.
In coastal/salty environments, inspect seals and gaskets every 6 months for degradation.
