Arecont Vision AV3356RS IP Megapixel Camera

Product Profile

MegaDome® G3 RS third generation multi-megapixel cameras provide ample resolution to zoom in for details in live or recorded video. With an IR corrected motorised lens and gimbal, MegaDome G3 RS is easy to install and manage with “no-touch” remote setup. Install the magnetic mounting plate, connect the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) IP cable, magnetically snap in place and fasten the camera to the mounting plate, and then remotely configure the camera. Use the intuitive interface to remotely pan, tilt, zoom, and focus the sensor. 

Indoor/outdoor all-in-one surveillance solutions

These indoor/outdoor all-in-one solutions integrate a 1080p, 3 or 5-megapixel (MP) sensor with fast frame rates, and SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology to reduce bandwidth without impacting image quality. The True Day/Night mechanical IR cut filter provides the highest image quality at any time of day.

Select 1080p and 3MP models of MegaDome G3 RS include wide dynamic range (WDR), delivering up to 100dB at full resolution for applications with bright or over-saturated lighting conditions. All models feature CorridorView™ for 90° image rotation, non-integer scaling, and an SDHC memory card slot for internal storage.

The installer-friendly housing is IP66 rated for both indoor and outdoor applications and the cast-aluminium housing is IK-10 impact resistant, capable of withstanding the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force.

VMS/NVR platform integrations

The camera is integrated with the industry’s leading VMS/NVR platforms. Using the camera interface or the AV IP Utility, security updates and both new and enhanced features can be applied to the cyber-hardened MegaDome G3 RS’s Massively Parallel Image Processing (MPIP) architecture. This in-house developed architecture runs on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrated circuit that is at the core of every Arecont Vision camera.

The MegaDome G3 RS is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Series S compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
