Contera Outdoor Dome IP Megapixel Cameras

Camera Overview

The Contera optimum performance. The Contera Outdoor Dome combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated motorized remote focus and zoom precision iris (P-iris) lens for excellent, optimal image quality.

Regardless of the time of day, the Contera Outdoor 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. The Contera Outdoor Dome 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.

Outdoor Dome megapixel camera features 1080p and 5-megapixel (MP) resolution for

The Contera Outdoor 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 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.

The AV IP Utility tool is compatible with all Contera on the CD that came with your camera or available on our website.

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)”

You can access the camera web user interface by typing the camera IP address on the preferred web browser.

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

changes in the image.

Enable Alarm Detection Enables Alarm Detection (Alarm In) function.
