SurroundVideo® Omni G3

Installation Manual

Camera Overview

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.
