The electronic security products distributor Norbain can now offer the new Arecont Vision SurroundVideo cameras.
The cameras featuring four multi-megapixel sensors that can each be adjusted to capture different fields of view within a full 360 degrees. This allows a single camera to cover a wide area including the ability to provide views under the camera or multiple fields of view using a variety of lens options, the firms say.
SurroundVideo Omni cameras can replace the need for multiple cameras and reduce overall system costs, the companies add. Arecont Vision’s new SurroundVideo Omni cameras are available in 5 megapixel (MP), 8MP, 12MP configurations. The low-profile cameras will have multiple lens options available from 2.8mm up to 16mm.
The cameras feature Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) in the 12MP configuration which delivers a dynamic range of up to 100dB at full resolution without lowering the frame rates. By combining long and short exposures in the same field-of-view, WDR maximises the amount of detail in bright and dark areas of a scene. The WDR performance of Arecont Vision cameras represents an up to 50dB improvement (300x) in dynamic range compared to conventional cameras, according to the makers.
