Arecont celebrates 10 years with Microdome launch
Las Vegas, Nv
The new Arecont Vision Microdome cameras will be available in resolutions of 1.3-megapixels (MP), 1080p, 3MP and 5MP. Indoor models will be released first, followed later in the year by cameras with options such as true wide dynamic range (WDR) imaging and IP66 environmental-rated indoor/outdoor dome enclosures.
“Over our 10-year history, Arecont Vision has consistently reduced the size of our cameras,” said Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision. “The Microdome family represents a significant advancement in our ability to produce stunning high resolution images with cameras that are unobtrusive in size and style.”
Arecont megapixel technology is designed to deliver superior image quality and reduces overall system costs by covering larger areas with fewer cameras. Standard features include a dual H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) and JPEG encoder, fast frame rates, on-camera privacy masking and 1024-zone motion detection. The company’s WDR technology delivers a dynamic range of up to 100dB at full resolution without lowering frame rates. By combining long and short exposures in the same field-of-view, WDR maximizes the amount of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.
