Arecont Vision introduces next generation all-in-one ball IP camera solution

Arecont Vision's MegaBall G2 megapixel camera series fuses optimum performance with outstanding aesthetics. These stylish indoor cameras feature a choice of 1.2-, 1080p-, 3-, or 5-megapixel (MP) resolution options. Regardless of time-of-day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated P-iris lens for precise, optimal image quality. For applications with poor lighting conditions optional wide dynamic range is available on some 1080p and 3MP models.

For low-light color images without IR, the 1.2MP STELLAR, "Spatio Temporal Low Light Architecture" model offers best-in-class light sensitivity capturing details in near complete darkness. For additional low light capabilities, Binning Mode is available on 3MP and 5MP camera models. MegaBall G2 IR models are integrated with an Adjustable Infrared Illuminator, providing clear images in extreme, low-light scenes. Infrared camera models offer the ability to manually adjust the IR's level of intensity, providing the flexibility to ensure the scene is illuminated uniformly. For applications that require the camera to be mounted in close proximity to the target, an optional manual lens with an ImmerVision Enables panomorph system offers 180° and 360° views (5MP model).

MegaBall G2 IR models are integrated with an Adjustable Infrared Illuminator, providing clear images in extreme, low-light scenes.

The optional SD card slot supports up to 32GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The camera's power can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) compliant network cable connection or with power from a 12-48V DC/24V AC power supply. The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.264 encoding platform capable of delivering high quality video without straining the network.

The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Free AV IP Utility tool allows users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time. The MegaBall G2 Series is ONVIF Profile S (Open Network Video Interface Forum) and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
