Product Profile

The 8.3MP/1080p MegaVideo® 4K dual mode network camera is the new generation of Arecont Vision’s MegaVideo cameras. This fully compliant implementation of H.264 (MPEG-4, Part 10) provides full 3840 x 2160 megapixel resolution at full video frame rates of 30 frames per second (fps) at 8MP and 60fps while in 1080p binning mode.

3 ultra-high-definition IP lenses

The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with a choice of three ultra-high definition P-iris lenses for precise, optimal image quality. MegaVideo 4K performs exceptionally well in very low-light thanks to NightView™, making it capable of covering areas where very little light is present.

Features include SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) to reduce bandwidth without impacting image quality, scaling, binning mode, privacy masking, extended motion detection, flexible cropping, and Power over Ethernet (PoE - IEEE 802.3af). Built with Arecont Vision massively-parallel processing technology, MegaVideo 4K offers more than 27-times the resolution of standard resolution IP cameras. It offers the ability to output full real-time frame rates and deliver high-quality megapixel imaging for both indoor and outdoor applications.

SDHC card

The SDHC card slot supports up to 32GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The motorised remote focus/zoom lenses with P-iris control make set-up and maintenance easy. The camera’s power can be supplied
via a Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection or with power from a 12–24V DC/24V AC power supply. The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration.
