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.

Arecont Vision Introduces World’s First H.264 10 Megapixel Camera

Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, today introduces the world's first H.264 Dual Mode 10MP/1080p camera here at the ISC West conference. The innovative Dual Mode camera combines the resolution of a 10 megapixel camera and a full HD 1080p at 30fps camera into one camera system. The AV10005 Series, available in color, day/night and color auto-iris versions, are the latest additions to the industry's broadest line of megapixel cameras from Arecont Vision. "As the leader in IP megapixel video, Arecont Vision continues to push the envelope and provide the market with cutting edge innovation, the best price performance ratio as well as convenience and ease of use for our customers. Our new AV10005 Series merges the functionality of two cameras into one providing the unique ability to operate in either 10 megapixel resolution or in Full HD1080p at 30fps," said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO, Arecont Vision. "This camera offers our customers the ability to use a single camera model to solve a multitude of challenging requirements that exist in complex installations." This H.264 Dual Mode Camera offers 33 times the compared to standard definition VGA cameras. It also provides the versatility to crop the field-of-view to any resolution (5 MP, 3 MP, etc.), select 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 (1080p HDTV) aspect ratio, and apply H.264 or MJPEG compression to best suit the application. The cameras also offer a binned mode that combines and averages pixels for better low-light performance, greater sensitivity and improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In 10MP mode, the AV10005 Camera provides 3648 x 2752 pixel resolution at 6 frames-per-second (fps). In 1080 mode, it provides Full HD1920 x 1080 at 30 frames per second. Users can digitally pan, tilt and zoom live with multiple zoom windows while recording the full field-of-view in 10 megapixel or full HD 1080p. Post event forensic zooming is also possible from archives to extract recorded details. Other Features include on-camera real-time motion detection with 64 detection zones, a programmable shutter speed to control motion blur and MoonLight™ mode for extended exposure and noise cancellation. The AV10005 Series is the latest addition to Arecont Vision's full line of cameras ranging in image resolution from 1.3 to 10 megapixels, including camera models providing advanced capabilities such as dual sensor day/night and panoramic viewing. Using H.264 compression, Arecont Vision cameras provide outstanding compression efficiency to solve system issues related to bandwidth and storage. The Arecont Vision line also includes the MegaDomeTM Series of all-in-one dome cameras and a new compact JPEG series of cameras to address cost-sensitive applications.
