The SurroundVideo® Omni G3, next generation multi-sensor, multi-megapixel camera was built to
withstand evolving customer change-requirements. The unique, future-proof, remote setup platform of
the SurroundVideo Omni G3 provides organizations of all sizes the flexibility to deploy a security
system that truly matches their video surveillance needs now; and again if requirements change in the
future. With its ground-breaking flexibility such as the ability to remotely move each of the four sensors
around the Omni track, the pan and tilt capabilities of the gimbals for an increased range of motion
when positioning the sensors, and the ability to remotely zoom and focus the lenses for a customized
field of view, the SurroundVideo Omni G3 provides customers with the confidence in a future-proof
investment. The SurroundVideo Omni G3 changes when you do.
The SurroundVideo Omni G3 multi-megapixel camera series features a choice of 12- or 20-megapixel
resolution options. These cameras provide an all-in-one solution for capturing wide area video
surveillance while maximizing the field-of-view and reducing the total number of cameras required
saving installers time and end users money.
Regardless of time-of-day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. The
series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality at any time of day. For
applications with bright or over saturated lighting conditions, optional wide dynamic range delivers up to
100dB at full resolution and is available on select 12MP models. For applications with poor low lighting
conditions, Binning Mode increases the camera’s low light performance by combining pixels so that
more light can be collected.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 includes SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology
to reduce bandwidth without impacting image quality. Once mounted, the operator can quickly zoom,
focus and position the camera remotely, eliminating the need to adjust the camera on-site. No more
hassle individually installing multiple cameras to cover a wide area, manually focusing lenses, or risk
missing critical information.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 is designed for demanding environments. Subjected and certified to rigorous
dust and water tests, the IP66 rating, and its extended operating temperature range make it ideal for
outdoor applications. The IK-10 rated, rugged dome housing is perfect for deterring vandals since it can
withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force.
The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.264 encoding
platform capable of delivering high quality video without straining the network. Power can be supplied
via a single Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable or with power from a12-24V DC/24V AC
power supply.
The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Free AV IP Utility
tool allows users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time.
The SurroundVideo® Omni G3 camera has been designed to provide installers with flexible
mounting options for ceilings, walls, poles or corners.
NOTE: When mounting the camera outdoors or in a wet environment, use of the supplied
grommet is required. Ensure the grommet properly seats flush with the camera housing to
create a water-tight seal.

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 Arecont Vision® megapixel cameras. The user manual for
the software is included on the CD that came with your camera or available on our website.
Network Protocols
The Arecont Vision SurroundVideo® Omni G3 cameras support RTSP, RTP/TCP, RTP/UDP, HTTP,
DHCP, TFTP, QoS, IP version 4 (IPv4), and 802.1x.
RTSP – Cameras communicate with video management systems over Real Time Streaming Protocol.
Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the default setting.
RTP/TCP – The Real-time Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is best suited for applications that
require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical.
RTP/UDP – The Real-time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol is used for live unicast video, especially
when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images are dropped.
HTTP – The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems.
DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally manage
and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP
address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server.
TFTP – The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a simple, lock-step, File Transfer Protocol which allows a
client to get from or put a file onto a remote host. TFTP lacks security and most of the advanced
features offered by more robust file transfer protocols such as File Transfer Protocol.
QoS – Quality of Service guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a
network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by
controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.
IPv4 – The MicroDome G2 supports the IPv4 internet-layer protocol for packet-switched
internetworking across multiple IP networks. IPv4 uses 32-bit addressing which allows for devices and
users on the internet for routing traffic.
802.1x – The IEEE 802.1x standard provides a general method for authentication and authorization in
IEEE-802 networks. Authentication is carried out via the authenticator, which checks the transmitted
authentication information using an authentication server and approves or denies access to the offered
services (LAN, VLAN or WLAN) accordingly.
Camera Preset Configurations
