Contera Bullet IP Megapixel Cameras
Camera Overview
The Contera
optimum performance. The Contera Bullet combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated
motorized 2.7–12mm varifocal remote focus and zoom precision iris (P-iris) lens.
Regardless of the time of day, the Contera Bullet 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, and is further enhanced by built-in Smart IR LED illumination that 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.
The Contera Bullet is IP66 rated for both indoor and outdoor applications. All models feature an impact
resistant cast-aluminum housing capable of withstanding the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force.
®
Bullet outdoor-ready megapixel camera features 1080p and 5-megapixel (MP) resolution for
The Contera Bullet 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 on the CD
included with your camera or at: 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.

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

Event
Enable Turns on and off on-camera motion detection
Extend Enables the extended motion detection and motion
detection zones increase from default 64 to 1024 for
enhanced motion detection sensitivity.
Zone Size Adjusts the size of motion detection zones.
Detail Sets the size of each zone displayed by the motion
detection grid contains sub zones the number of which
is set by the zone size setting up to 32x32 (pixels). This
setting configures the sensitivity of the motion
detection to the size of objects in the image moving
through the zone. Higher values will trigger motion only
for larger objects moving through the zone, lower
values will cause detection of smaller objects in the
zone (increasing sensitivity to smaller size objects
moving through the image).
*This function is supported
depends on models.
Level Threshold Sets the sensitivity to brightness changes between
dark and light objects within each grid zone. As an
example “Detail” will set the size of the object detected
within the zone, “level” sets the duration that
movement must be maintained to trigger motion
detection. Lower settings can increase false motion
alarms caused by image noise, higher settings will
require more movement to trigger a motion event.
Motion Sensitivity Sets the sensitivity to sudden overall brightness
Alarm Schedule Configures the alarm schedule by holding down the
mouse button and clicking the time block to enable the
schedule settings on the selected time. A light blue
