performance. The Contera Indoor Dome combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated
motorized remote focus and zoom varifocal lens for excellent, optimal image quality.
Regardless of the time of day, the Contera Indoor Dome 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. Built-in Smart IR LED illumination automatically adjusts output in response to the
distance of an object in view to prevent over-exposure when the object is very close to the camera.
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 SD card slot supports up to 256GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The camera’s
power can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE - IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection.
®
Indoor Dome megapixel camera features 1080p and 5-megapixel (MP) resolution for optimum
The Contera Indoor Dome is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S and G compliant,
providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.

Camera Discovery, Setup, and Configuration
For camera discovery and setup, the AV IP Utility is recommended. The software can be found at Arecont
Vision website: http://www.arecontvision.com/softwares.php
The AV IP Utility has the ability to provide multiple discovery options, including broadcast and multicast,
check the status of a camera, change camera settings, import and export camera settings via a .csv file, and
update firmware and/or hardware from virtually anywhere with a network connection.
Whether used for large installations that require an update to multiple settings, or smaller installations where
only one camera needs changed, the AV IP Utility tool is efficient and convenient for mass or single camera
uploads.
®
The AV IP Utility tool is compatible with all Contera
Arecont Vision website: http://www.arecontvision.com/softwares.php
cameras. The user manual for the software is available at
Camera Discovery
1. Locate and double click the AV IP Utility shortcut on the desktop.
2. When the AV IP Utility is launched, it will automatically search the Contera cameras on the network.
Or, you can also manually search cameras by clicking “Discovery (Multicast)”
3.
You can access the camera web user interface by typing the camera IP address on the preferred
web browser.

Moonlight Mode: Limits exposure time from 20ms to

under very low light conditions with the least amount of
image noise. The trade-off is in favor of low noise at
the expense of high motion blur.
Custom Exposure Mod: Enables manual setting of
exposure time between 1 and 80ms. Shorter exposure
times reduces motion blur for applications such as
monitoring fast moving objects and reading license
plates. The trade-off is an increased level of noise. It is
recommended that this mode be used only when there
is constant scene illumination sufficient to provide a
quality image.
