The Discover series of Mini-Domes delivers a vandal resistant

camera solution at a non-vandal resistant price. This series of

high performance Mini-Domes includes high impact, vandal

resistant dome housings built to withstand even the harshest

environments. Unlike other dome housings in the industry,

which are made of metal, the Discover series housing is made

with extremely durable composite and polycarbonate materials

that have “shape memory”. The Discover housing comes with

a choice of clear or tinted vandal resistant bubbles and

includes a bubble liner to make it more covert. An advanced

pivoting axis lets you position the camera at exactly the angle

you need, while optimal white balance provides the clearest,

most color-perfect images possible.

With three different types of mini-domes to choose from,

there’s a Discover solution just right for your particular

requirements.

The Discover wide dynamic range (WDR) Mini-Dome uses

over 504 lines of resolution and a pixel-by-pixel shutter speed

that lets you see better in areas where both very bright and

dark areas exist, such as an entranceway. This model also

features up to a 2x digital zoom to get an even closer view of

the action. Night-Saver mode improves performance in

low light situations, automatically switching from color to

monochrome as light dims and reverting back to color once

light is restored. The WDR mini-dome also includes a

DVR-Saver mode which helps conserve valuable hard drive

space, reducing the size of video files by up to 30% when

used with an Intellex

digital video management system.

The Discover high resolution Mini-Dome has 540 TVL

and also includes a user-selectable Night-Saver mode. For

challenging lighting environments, a selectable expanded auto

white balance mode is available. Vivid colors and powerful low

light performance provide some of the best images available

on the market today.

The Discover standard resolution camera offers a cost

effective solution for the value-conscious with 330 TVL. It is

available with a 3.8 – 9.5 mm vari-focal, auto iris lens.

The Discover series includes a drone option—which looks

like a mini-dome from the outside but without a camera

inside—and is perfect for crime deterrence at an even greater

cost savings.
