Arecont Vision And Instek Announce NVR Integration With H.264 Megapixel Cameras
Arecont Vision And Instek Announce NVR Integration With H.264 Megapixel Cameras

Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, and Instek Digital, the leader in NVR and Hybrid DVR solutions are pleased to announce their extended partnership, to offer a seamless and fully integrated solution with the industry's first full line of H.264 megapixel IP cameras. "Our proven success in IP megapixel technology has built a strong track record for NVR integration partnerships," said Scott Schafer, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Arecont Vision. "Arecont Vision's megapixel imaging technology together with the recording expertise of Instek offers our combined clientele the most advantageous megapixel technology experience." With up to 10 times higher compression than standard MJPEG, Arecont Vision's H.264 line of megapixel cameras offers the perfect combination of high resolution and bandwidth efficiency at competitive price point. Instek Digital intelligently manipulates the video and combines it with a state of the art robust video management solution, which is both scalable and reliable. "The megapixel camera technology is the driving force for the industry to switch from an analog to an IP solution," said Albert Pan, Chief Executive Officer, Instek Digital. "Arecont Vision's megapixel imaging with the latest H.264 high compression technology alleviates the budgetary concerns of huge storage requirements. With years of R&D development that Instek Digital has cultivated on a complete H.264 solution, users can deploy and take advantages of this new integration immediately."Instek Digital has recently featured this collaboration in a full-scale installation at the Kickapoo Casino in Harrah, Oklahoma. The casino features deployment of the Arecont Vision AV1305/AV1305DN H.264 cameras combined with the Instek Digital state-of-the-art hybrid digital video surveillance and video management solution. Fully compliant with the regulation of all Gaming Commissions, Instek Digital understands the unique surveillance requirements of a dynamic casino environment.

The camera features Arecont Vision's H.264 compression technology providing full frame rates at full resolution as well as multi-streaming capabilities to allow transmission of several H.264 video streams at various video formats, frame rates and/or resolutions."Our new dual sensor day/night H.264 megapixel camera solution is the first of its kind using H.264 encoding for varying sensor formats within the same camera. In addition to advantages in bandwidth and storage efficiency, the technology provides far greater sensitivity compared to single sensor day/night solutions," said Dr. Michael Kaplinsky, CEO, Arecont Vision.The Arecont Vision AV3135 has two 1/2" CMOS sensors - a 3 megapixel colour image sensor and a separate 1.3 megapixel black and white sensor - to ensure the highest image quality and best sensitivity regardless of light levels. The individual pixels on the black and white sensor are larger to provide higher sensitivity in low light. The black-and-white sensor is also infrared sensitive, making the AV3135 ideal for extreme dark conditions.Incorporating proprietary MegaVideo® image processing and using Arecont Vision's fully compliant implementation of H.264 compression, the megapixel day/night camera uses up to 10 times less bandwidth and storage compared to cameras using only MJPEG compression.Additionally, the Arecont Vision AV3135 Dual Sensor Day/Night camera has no moving mechanical parts and is complemented by state-of-the-art surveillance software, the AV100, capable of live image acquisition and display from multiple cameras. Users can zoom-in live or after an event while recording the full field-of-view in high definition, replacing pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) devices. Up to four virtual cameras can be streamed by selecting regions of interest within an image and acquiring them independently. Switching between the 3 megapixel day sensor to the night sensor with 1.3 megapixels is automatic and may also be manually toggled.

Arecont Vision®, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, is presenting its new generation of all-in-one SurroundVideo® G5 panoramic multi-sensor megapixel cameras. New models include the 5MP SurroundVideo® G5 with STELLAR™ (Spatio Temporal Low Light Architecture) technology and remote focus P-iris lenses. Both standard and smaller form factor versions of 12MP and 20MP SurroundVideo® G5 cameras have also been added, each with double the frame rate of previous models. This is the company’s fifth generation of multi-sensor panoramic camera systems. The SurroundVideo® G5 camera series delivers superior 180° and 360° wide area coverage and strong financial benefits. “Panoramic multi-sensor megapixel cameras continue to gain traction as the go-to solution for wide area surveillance as a result of their unprecedented performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency,” said Brad Donaldson, Director of Product Management, Arecont Vision®. “With the addition of remote focus and p-iris lenses and delivering double the frame rate over previous models, Arecont Vision® continues to be the leader in multi-sensor surveillance technology.” The new 5MP SurroundVideo® G5 Panoramic Camera features STELLAR™ Low Light Technology for color imaging in extreme low light conditions. The camera features fast frame rates, while P-iris lenses optimize iris position for better imaging, and remote focus simplifies set-up and adjustments. SurroundVideo® G5 Panoramic Camera enhancements include standard form factor models with an option for Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) at 12MP resolution to capture useable video in scenes with highly contrasted lighting. The standard form factor model offers P-iris lenses and remote focus, plus double the frame rate of previous models. More resolution options are also available in Arecont Vision’s new small form factor SurroundVideo® G5 Mini cameras. 12MP models offer options for WDR, and both the 12MP and 20MP models double the frame rate of previous models. Additional highlighted features of SurroundVideo® G5 megapixel panoramic cameras include dual H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) and MJPEG encoders, privacy masking, and extended motion detection with 1,024 zones per channel. 12MP and 20MP models offer pixel binning for increased sensitivity in low light applications. SurroundVideo® G5 cameras also feature an IP66-rated environmental housing and a polycarbonate bubble that is IK-10 rated impact-resistant. A new black gimbal offers enhanced aesthetics.
