Arecont Vision Announces Contera Multi-Sensor Megapixel Camera Series
Arecont Vision Announces Contera Multi-Sensor Megapixel Camera Series

Contera® Panoramic megapixel IP cameras provide an all-in-one solution for wide-area video surveillance.  Four sensors and lenses are housed in an outdoor-rated IP66 and IK-10 impact-resistant dome enclosure. The cameras are available in a 180° configuration and resolutions of 8- and 20-megapixel (MP). A single Contera Panoramic camera can replace multiple conventional cameras with the ability to zoom into multiple regions of interest.  Their return on investment is easily measured any way you view it.   Regardless of the time of day, the Contera Panoramic is prepared for any lighting condition. For applications with poor lighting conditions, Enhanced WDR™ (wide dynamic range) at 120dB provides the best visual balance to shaded and bright light conditions.   For clear color images in low-light, NightView™ offers strong low-light sensitivity for capturing details in extremely poor-lit scenes, which is further enhanced by LED illumination built into each sensor gimbal.  Arecont Vision was the first to bring H.264 to the mainstream market and recently-developed SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology for reducing bandwidth without impacting image quality.  Today, we are proud to offer our next generation H.265 with SNAPstream+™ smart codec capable of delivering high quality video while saving over 50% of the data rate to reduce or prevent strain on the network. The camera’s power can be supplied via a Power over-Ethernet (PoE - IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection.  The Contera Panoramic is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S and G compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.

A power status utility and instant playback capability round out the AV NVR series capabilities.  Arecont Vision SNAPstream™ Both the AV NVR AV800 and AV1600 models offer H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression. Arecont Vision SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology reduces bandwidth without impacting image quality. The 8 channel AV800 model offers up to 10MP resolution recording per sensor, including 4K resolution and 40MP panoramic cameras. The AV1600 offers 16 channels and up to 5MP resolution recording per sensor.  WD Purple Surveillance For maximum video recording reliability, WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drives from Western Digital are included in with-drive configurations. No-drive configurations are available for customers wishing to install their own hard disk drives within Arecont Vision recommendations.  The AV800 can be configured any number of ways to support project requirements for single- and multi-sensor cameras.  For example, an AV800 could support four MicroDome® 5MP single-sensor cameras (4 channels), and a SurroundVideo® panoramic or Omni multi-sensor camera (4 channels), for a total count of 8 channels. The AV1600 could be configured up to 16 channels in the same manner, using a variety of Arecont Vision camera choices.  ONVIF support Designed for use with Arecont Vision-brand single and multi-sensor cameras, ONVIF type S cameras are also supported. The AV NVR is now part of the available products in the Arecont Vision MegaLab™ integration, test, and support facility. Arecont Vision cameras are integrated and tested with the industry’s leading VMS, video analytics, networking, storage, and other software and hardware through the company’s Technology Partner Program™ and its subsidiary MegaLab facility.  The AV NVR also includes a 3-year Arecont Vision warranty.
