Unrivalled wireless performance with Bascom® POWER
This camera system features Bascom® POWER – our groundbreaking technology for transmitting video footage via your mains power lines. Simply plug the cameras into a power socket and they’ll automatically connect to the recorder using your existing electrical wiring. This gives you the reliability of a wired connection without having to run any cables yourself.
Yes. Wi-Fi signals are prone to degradation over distance, interference from walls and ceilings, and congestion from other wireless devices. These factors make it unreliable for transmitting the large volumes of data that video surveillance requires. Bascom® POWER, by contrast, uses your existing electrical wiring – cables that are already in place – and isn’t affected by these issues.
Bascom® POWER is the ideal solution when power outlets are located near your cameras. By simply plugging the cameras into the mains, you make use of the wiring already running through your building. There’s no need to install dedicated video cables all the way to the recorder, yet you still get the stability of a hardwired connection.
The maximum range of Bascom® POWER-enabled cameras is 500 metres. Unlike Wi-Fi, this range is unaffected by walls or floors – meaning you get a stable connection even in remote corners of your property. All footage is encrypted by default, preventing any unauthorised access.
Yes, Bascom® POWER functions across multiple circuits and phases, including three-phase power. This is possible because the system uses both the standard live and neutral wires as well as the earth wire. Just ensure that all relevant sockets are connected to the same consumer unit.
Do you have multiple consumer units or a unique installation? There’s always a suitable solution – and we’re happy to help. Call 0121 368 0033 or use our contact form to discuss your setup.
A discreet dome camera
If you’re looking for unobtrusive surveillance, dome cameras are the ideal choice. With their distinctive rounded design, they blend seamlessly into their surroundings. The direction they’re facing is also harder to detect. These cameras can be mounted either on a wall or on the ceiling.
Vandal-resistant housing for indoor and outdoor use
The dome cameras in this system are weatherproof (IP67-rated) and built to withstand all conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. But it’s not just the elements they can handle – their robust housing, made of hardened aluminium and impact-resistant polycarbonate, also protects against vandalism.
Stunning 4K resolution
Bascom PLUS cameras capture footage in true 4K resolution. With over 8 million pixels, every detail is recorded. Images are four times sharper than Full HD, allowing you to clearly see what’s happening. You can also zoom in on recorded footage without loss of quality – even the smallest details remain visible.
Superior image quality where others fall short
Resolution alone doesn’t guarantee quality. A good surveillance camera also needs to perform well in low light and difficult lighting conditions. That’s why the cameras in this system are equipped with the latest-generation image sensors. These are twice as light-sensitive as standard sensors and feature advanced technologies like HDR, AGC, and 3D-DNR. The result: clear, balanced footage, free from overexposure and dark shadows, even in challenging lighting.
Clear vision at night
When it gets dark, Bascom PLUS cameras automatically switch to night mode, using advanced infrared technology. This enables them to see clearly even in complete darkness – where the human eye can see nothing at all – at distances of up to 50 metres.
Wide-angle view and 5x optical zoom
Each camera in this system is equipped with a high-quality zoom lens, allowing you to frame your scene with precision. For a wide overview, set the lens to its 112-degree field of view. Need to focus on distant details? Use the 5x optical zoom to get closer, with autofocus ensuring crystal-clear images at all times.
A standalone recorder
The powerful recorder serves as the system’s core, independently capturing footage from all cameras. Because recording doesn’t rely on an internet connection, you’re guaranteed continuous, high-quality footage – even during outages.
Continuous recording for weeks
Designed for 24/7 operation, the recorder includes generous internal storage, capable of saving several weeks of footage. When the disk is full, it automatically overwrites the oldest recordings. This means the system never stops recording – no need to manage it manually.
Watch footage on your smartphone
With the Bascom smartphone app, you can access your camera footage from anywhere in the world. The app is easy to use: scan the QR code on the recorder and you’re instantly connected. You can view live feeds, play back footage, and create backups. The app supports multiple systems, so you can manage all your cameras from one screen.
Get notified when people or vehicles are detected
Want alerts when something important happens? This system uses AI-powered motion detection to distinguish between people, vehicles, and irrelevant movement. That means you only get notifications that matter.
View footage on your computer
Use Bascom’s computer software to manage your cameras from your desk – whether you’re on-site or working remotely. The software lets you view live footage, review recordings, and create backups. It also supports multiple systems, giving you centralised control in one interface.
View footage on a monitor
Prefer local control? Simply connect a monitor to the recorder and operate the system using the included mouse. A monitor is also recommended if you don’t wish to connect the system to the internet. In this setup, backups can easily be made to a USB stick.
Privacy masking
Cameras can unintentionally capture sensitive areas, such as neighbouring properties or PIN pads. With privacy masking, you can block out specific parts of the image using black boxes, ensuring your system respects the privacy of others.
Your footage, secure and private
Footage is stored locally on the recorder, under your control. Access is protected by a personal user account, meaning only you can view it – not even Bascom can. You can create multiple user accounts with different access levels. Plus, automatic software updates keep the system’s security continuously up to date.
Designed for self-installation
95% of our customers have never installed a CCTV system before – and still set up their Bascom system themselves. Mount the cameras on a wall or ceiling, plug them into a power socket, and the system is ready to go.
Step 1. Mount the cameras
Screw the cameras securely to a wall or ceiling. You’ll then have time to carefully adjust the viewing angle. The lens can be rotated in any direction, so even if the camera is mounted at an angle or upside down, the image will appear level. You can route the cable out the side or straight through the wall behind the camera – leaving nothing visible.
Step 2. Plug the cameras into a power socket
Once mounted, plug the cameras into a nearby power socket. As soon as they’re powered, they automatically begin transmitting footage over your electrical wiring to the recorder.
Step 3. Plug the recorder into a power socket
Next, plug the recorder into a power socket. It will automatically receive the camera signals and begin recording right away. No further setup is needed. If you wish, you can now connect a monitor or TV to the recorder and operate the system using the included mouse.
Step 4. Connect the recorder to the internet (optional)
Want to view footage remotely via your smartphone or computer? Simply connect the recorder to the internet – either directly via the included Ethernet cable to your modem or router, or wirelessly using our optional Wi-Fi antenna. Once connected, download the Bascom app. Scan the QR code on the recorder and you're ready to view live footage.
Technical specifications
Dimensions
Height: 118 mm
Diagonal (bottom): 150 mm
Image quality
Image resolution: Ultra HD (4K)
Frame rate: 25 fps ?The frame rate, expressed in frames per second (fps), determines how smoothly video is displayed. A frequency of 25 fps is considered the industry standard for film and television, providing smooth motion without stuttering.
Type of image sensor: back-illuminated ?A back-illuminated image sensor has a unique structure, where the light-sensitive part is closer to the light source, improving the efficiency of light capture. This ensures that the camera performs better in low light conditions and only needs to switch to night mode later.
Image processing technologies:
High Dynamic Range (HDR) ?HDR technology significantly improves the image quality by increasing the dynamic range between the brightest and darkest parts of the image. This results in images where details in very bright and very dark areas are preserved.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) ?AGC automatically amplifies the signal of the image sensor in low-light situations. This allows the camera to consistently deliver bright images, even in a dark environment.
3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D-DNR) ?Noise is the grainy structure that occurs when there is little light. 3D-DNR is an advanced algorithm that analyzes the camera images and removes noise. This results in cleaner and sharper images in the dark.
Type lens: Motorized zoom lens with autofocus ?With a motorized zoom lens, you can control the zoom remotely. The autofocus ensures that the camera refocuses accurately after each zoom adjustment.
Zoom capacity: 5 times optical zoom ?Optical zoom uses the physical movement of lens elements to zoom, preserving image quality. This is in contrast to digital zoom, where sharpness is lost.
Field of view: 112° (wide angle) to 28° (zoomed in)
Color image: active from 0.002 lux ?This indicates the minimum amount of light needed for the camera to operate in color mode before switching to infrared night vision.
Infrared night vision: up to 50 meters ?This is the maximum distance the camera can capture clearly in complete absence of light.
