Byline: Dubai

Arecont Vision has expanded its full line of H.264 megapixel network cameras with the addition of the MegaDomeTM 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 five megapixel sensors, the dome cameras incorporate Arecont Vision's fully-compliant implementation of H.264 (MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs).  4, Part 10) compression that uses up to 10 times on average less bandwidth and storage compared to megapixel counterparts using MJPEG MJPEG Motion Joint Photographic Experts Group  compression, said an official spokesman. Each model in the new Arecont Vision MegaDomeTM series, announced at the Intersec Trade Fair and Conference, features a three-axis camera gimbal with 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt adjustment for accurate positioning, and each features an integrated 4-10mm megapixel varifocal varifocal

The MegaDomeTM series simultaneously supports H.264 and MJPEG 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.

The Arecont Vision MegaDomeTM cameras also offer user-selectable full or one-fourth resolution for either live viewing or archiving. Other key features include half-inch CMOS sensor for superior light performance, simultaneous full field of view and region-of-interest (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system.

"Arecont Vision's megapixel imaging solutions are growing in popularity, boosted by field-proven implementations throughout the world," said vice-president of strategic relations, Arecont Vision, Raul Calderon.

"Expanding the customer's choice with our new MegaDomeTM line will accelerate the penetration of H.264 megapixel technology into the marketplace while offering the same innovative features that have made the other cameras in our complete line so popular."

The Arecont Vision AV1355 is a 1.3 megapixel H.264 IP MegaDomeTM camera providing 1280x1024-pixel resolution, about four times the resolution of IP VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions.  or analog cameras, and up to a 32 frames-per-second image rate in 1.3 megapixel mode. The AV2155, a 2 megapixel H.264 IP MegaDomeTM camera, provides 1600x1200-pixel high-definition resolution, about six times the resolution of IP VGA or analog cameras and image rates up to 24 frames-per-second in two megapixel mode.

For even higher resolution, Arecont Vision's new AV3155 is a 3 megapixel H.264 IP MegaDomeTM camera offering 10 times the resolution of IP VGA or analog cameras with 2048x1536-pixel images, and an image rate up to 15 frames-per-second in three megapixel mode.

Additionally, the AV5155 is a 5 megapixel H.264 IP MegaDomeTM camera offering 15 times the resolution of IP VGA or analog cameras at 2592x1944 pixels with an image rate of 9 frames-per-second in five megapixel mode.

Each megapixel camera in the Arecont Vision MegaDomeTM series offers forensic zooming to enable users to zoom live or after an event while recording a full field of view in high-definition.

Using a megapixel camera instead of multiple analog or IP VGA cameras involves lower system costs related to installation, less wiring and lower network video recorder (NVR NVR Never

) licensing fees. Power-over-Ethernet eliminates the need for external power. In all, such considerations make the use of Arecont Vision's megapixel cameras much more cost efficient than IP VGA and analog cameras. a" TradeArabia News Service
