Arecont Vision's new H.264 MegaDome™ megapixel IP cameras

Arecont Vision expands its full line of H.264 megapixel network cameras with the addition of the MegaDome™ series, integrating the camera, lens and housing into an all-in-one solution. Available in colour or day/night versions and with 1.3M, 2M, 3M or 5 megapixel sensors, the dome cameras incorporate Arecont Vision's fully-compliant implementation of H.264 (MPEG 4, Part 10) compression that uses up to 10 times on average less bandwidth and storage compared to megapixel counterparts using M-JPEG compression.

The MegaDome™ series simultaneously supports H.264 and M-JPEG at full frame rates. Multi-streaming provides up to eight concurrent non-identical streams with variable frame rates, bit rates, resolutions and picture quality.

Bit rate control, available for full view, multi-view and archive, maintains desired bandwidth and storage size. Real-time streaming protocol (RTSP) allows compatibility with media players such as Apple QuickTime, Windows Media Player, VLC Player and others.

The Arecont Vision MegaDome™ cameras also offer user-selectable full or 1/4 resolution for either live viewing or archiving. Other key features include 1/2-inch CMOS sensor for superior light performance, simultaneous full field of view and region-of-interest (ROI) transmission as well as image cropping to allow streaming of full density partial images, on-camera motion detection, and a motorised IR cut filter (on the day/night versions).
