The new MicroDome cameras from Arecont Vision come with a surface mount option. The line of multi-megapixel cameras is for applications where high-resolution and a minimal footprint are required.
MicroDome cameras are available in resolutions of 1.3 megapixels (MP), 1080p, 3MP and 5MP with an option for true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) imaging at 1080p and 3MP. In its surface mount housing, the camera is IP66 environmental rated to resist dust and water. The domes are IK-10 impact resistant. Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision, said: “Arecont Vision had offered higher resolution images from smaller form factor cameras with multiple mounting options throughout our 10-year history. The new surface mount housing adds to the versatility of the MicroDome family. Arecont Vision continues to add small cameras that produce superior images for indoor and outdoor applications.”
MicroDome cameras come with 4mm lenses. More lenses are available at 2.8mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm and 16mm. All the cameras use true mechanical day/night IR cut filters for excellent low light performance, with pixel binning available at 3MP and 5MP. The products use Power over Ethernet (PoE) and provide audio: a microphone is standard on flush mount models and an audio jack is included on the surface mount models. Casino Mode in 1080p models maintains 30 frames-per-second (fps) or higher.
Standard features of Arecont Vision IP megapixel cameras include a dual H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) and JPEG encoder, fast frame rates, on-camera privacy masking and 1024-zone motion detection. The company’s Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) delivers a dynamic range of up to 100dB at full resolution without lowering frame rates, according to the company. By combining long and short exposures in the same field-of-view, WDR maximises the amount of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.
