Adjustable infrared illumination MegaBall G2 IR models are integrated with an Adjustable Infrared Illuminator, providing clear images in extreme, low-light scenes. Infrared camera models offer the ability to manually adjust the IR's level of intensity, providing the flexibility to ensure the scene is illuminated uniformly. Ease of installation The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Free AV IP Utility tool allows users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time. The MegaBall G2 is ONVIF Profile S (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.

MegaVideo Flex ultra-compact ultra-flexible megapixel indoor/outdoor camera
MegaVideo Flex ultra-compact ultra-flexible megapixel indoor/outdoor camera

The MegaVideo® Flex camera series from Arecont Vision offers a cost-effective security solution for installations that require a more flexible and compact design than other professional security cameras deliver. Due to the camera’s small footprint, the MegaVideo Flex easily fits into a wide range of areas and settings, such as in ATMs (automatic teller machines) and many other tight, compact, or discreet spaces while delivering megapixel (MP) quality high-definition (HD) video. Components MegaVideo Flex is composed of the camera sensor, metal mounting bracket, USB cable, and the main camera unit. Easy installation Installation is quite simple. The camera sensor can be surface mounted via the supplied mounting bracket or flush mounted into a ceiling or wall with the two (2) included fastening nuts. No additional mounting accessories are required. True day/night camera The stylish indoor/outdoor camera series features a choice of resolutions, including 1.2MP, 1080p, 3MP, and 5MP. MegaVideo Flex is a true day/night camera that is ideal for applications with variable lighting conditions, regardless of time of day. The NightView™ technology-equipped 1.2MP model covers areas where little light is present. All models can benefit when needed by adding one or two optional IR (infrared) illuminators to further increase video clarity in poor lighting conditions. Applications with bright or over-saturated lighting conditions at the other end of the scale can be addressed with models that include Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. For added flexibility, the included USB cable allows the camera sensor to be up to 40 feet (12m) away from the main unit. The main unit itself features two USB ports that can be used to include one or two optional IR illuminators. Each includes six infrared 850nm LEDs to provide up to 49 feet (15m) of enhanced night vision capability. MegaVideo Flex cameras are further enhanced with the convenience of remote focus. This facilitates both the ease of initial setup and for future adjustments, reducing time required to be spent at the jobsite. The ability to change lenses brings additional flexibility in application needs. Options include 2.1, 2.8, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16mm lenses. MegaVideo Flex offers advanced streaming capabilities with the Arecont Vision highly efficient H.264 encoding platform to deliver HD video without straining the network. Arecont Vision cameras are customer proven in thousands of installations worldwide, integrated with the leading video network system and network video recorder, and ONVIF and PSIA compliant.

Arecont Vision now in its 5th generation of the SurroundVideo IP Panoramic series
Arecont Vision now in its 5th generation of the SurroundVideo IP Panoramic series

Arecont Vision® has perfected multi-megapixel, multi-sensor camera technology. Now in its 5th generation, the SurroundVideo® Panoramic Series has been upgraded with the latest features including STELLAR™ low light technology. Cost-effective solution for time-sensitive applications The SurroundVideo G5 is best suited for businesses and organisations that require ultra-high resolution at a low cost per pixel. The camera features four factory-installed P-iris lenses, ensuring the best possible depth of field and image clarity for precise performance from each individual sensor. Once mounted, the operator can quickly focus the camera remotely, eliminating the need to adjust the camera onsite. No more hassle individually installing multiple cameras to cover a wide area, manually focusing lenses, or risk missing critical information from a 180° scene. It is a cost-effective solution for time-sensitive applications, which require a quick, multiple camera installation. The 5MP model features four 1.2MP image sensors and patented Arecont Vision STELLAR (Spatio Temporal Low Light Architecture) low light technology. STELLAR utilises advanced algorithms to reduce motion blur and noise, while enhancing contrast and generating high-quality colour video under the most challenging lighting conditions – including near complete darkness. In addition to unparalleled low-light performance, STELLAR simultaneously reduces bit rate and storage requirements to further enhance the value of the Arecont Vision industry-leading megapixel imaging solution. Designed for demanding environments The SurroundVideo G5 multi-megapixel camera delivers a choice of 5MP, 12MP, or 20MP resolution options. For added flexibility, users can view the camera’s four sensors individually or as a smooth transition of all images for a full 180° panoramic view. The camera is factory aligned with a slight image overlap to ensure you never miss a thing. For an optimal image, each sensor can be individually adjusted for the best exposure ratio per sensor (AV12586PM WDR model). The SurroundVideo G5 is designed for demanding environments. Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and water tests, the IP66 rating and its extended operating temperature range make it ideal for outdoor applications. The IK-10 rated, rugged dome housing is perfect for deterring vandals since it can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force.
