Arecont Vision, the US maker of IP-based megapixel cameras, has new MicroDome G2 cameras. These offer remote focus and three-axis adjustment to aid installation and set up. This is the second generation of the company’s all-in-one MicroDome.
The MicroDome G2 1.2MP model features NightView low light technology and an integrated 2.8mm lens. MicroDome G2 cameras are also available with optional Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) in 1080p and 3MP resolutions.
Brad Donaldson, Director of Product Management, Arecont Vision, said: “Small cameras are inherently difficult to focus, especially when installed in locations that can be a challenge to access. MicroDome G2 cameras are now able to address this by employing a remote focus lens module that still provides the ability to change lenses when necessary to get the best field of view for a particular application.”
All MicroDome G2 cameras employ what the US firm calls true mechanical day-night IR cut filters for low light performance, with NightView technology on 1.2MP models and with pixel binning available on 3MP and 5MP models. In scenes with highly contrasted lighting, 1080p and 3MP models are available with True Wide Dynamic Range up to 100dB at full resolution without lowering frame rates.
MicroDome G2 features also include dual H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) and JPEG encoding, on-camera privacy masking, motion detection, bit rate control, multi-streaming, and forensic zooming. These cameras – pictured is a surface-mounted model – are IP66 (-S models) and IK-10 rated for use in challenging environments.
