Panoramic HD dome cameras deliver complete coverage to effectively monitor any space from a single camera

Avigilon, the performance and value leader in high definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, today announced the introduction of the Avigilon Panoramic High Definition Dome Camera with High Definition Stream Management (HDSM.) Designed specifically to provide complete coverage of ultra-wide angle scenes including lobbies, offices, and other tight spaces with fewer cameras, Avigilon's panoramic HD dome cameras are competitively priced and easy to install, reducing overall system costs.

A compact, multi-sensor camera with conventional lenses, the Avigilon Panoramic HD Dome Camera uses four 2MP sensors to achieve either 180-degree or 360-degree coverage. With the Avigilon 180° Panoramic HD Dome Camera, each lens covers a 45-degree field of view, while each lens in the Avigilon 360° Panoramic HD Dome Camera covers a 90-degree field of view.

"Avigilon's panoramic HD dome cameras capture images without distortion and deliver the detail required to make positive identifications across the entire scene - in even the tightest space," said Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales and marketing. "Avigilon Control Center network video management software ensures that the evidence captured is stored and managed effectively for a dramatically improved percentage of successful investigations.

Using one network cable for power and to transmit video from all four 2MP sensors, Avigilon's panoramic HD dome cameras are easy to install and cost-effective. Avigilon panoramic HD dome cameras also offer Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to reduce installation costs and Alarm Input and Outputs to easily integrate into current alarm systems for further performance and cost gains. Avigilon's panoramic HD dome cameras come with mounting options for recessed in-ceiling mounting or mounting to an electrical box. The Avigilon Panoramic HD Dome Camera line will be available commercially in the first quarter of 2010.
