Arecont Vision MegaDome® 2
megapixel cameras deliver
outstanding resolution to capture
every detail whether viewing live
or recorded/archived video. With
the ability to digitally Pan-Tilt-Zoom
(PTZ) images, you can view the
details you need to see at any
time, such as license plates,
faces and other objects of
interest. The superior resolution
of MegaDome® 2 megapixel cameras
along with their varying elds of view
allows them to do the work of multiple
conventional cameras and provide
critical forensic information—all without
the need and associated expense of
system operators having to “catch”
activities of interest as they occur.
Wide Field of View
Telephoto P-Iris Lens Option
MegaDome® 2 cameras
are available with motorized
telephoto lenses, further
boosting their exibility as
all-in-one solutions. Telephoto
lenses offer a broad optical
range for every sensor resolution
in the MegaDome® 2 family.
Optical Range Per Sensor
1080p 8–22mm
1080p WDR 8–22mm
3MP 8–22mm
3MP WDR 8–22mm
5MP 9–22mm
10MP WDR 12–22mm
These telephoto lenses feature P-iris technology to achieve the
best exposure possible for the lighting conditions and offer remote
focus/ remote zoom for easy installation and maintenance.
Total PoE Solution
No external power is
needed for both the
heater and IR LED ring.

Remote Zoom, Remote Focus and Auto-Iris
The MegaDome® 2 series of all-in-one H.264 cameras combines megapixel resolution
with remote focus, remote zoom, Day/Night and auto-iris capabilities. The cameras
can be installed without locally adjusting the eld of view or focus. All lens operations
can be remotely controlled from the head end to rene the eld of view and focus of
the scene. Short or full range focus scan functions analyze the local or full scene to
determine the best focus for the chosen eld of view.
MegaDynamic® Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Users can achieve clear images in extreme lighting conditions with MegaDome® 2
WDR cameras in resolutions of 1080p and 3MP. Wide Dynamic Range up to 100dB
at full resolution balances light and dark areas in the same scene, such as in the
lobby of an ofce building or the loading dock at a distribution facility. Optional IR
illuminators provide coverage in total darkness for a 24-hour solution.

Compliant H.264 Compression
MegaDome® 2’s compliant implementation of H.264 allows full
frame rates and full resolution without sacricing image quality.
With bit rate control, the CPU load is decreased at both the client
(decompression) side and the server/storage side, allowing lower
bandwidth and storage relative to MJPEG. Real Time Streaming
Protocol (RTSP) allows for compatibility with media players such as
Apple QuickTime®, VLC and others.

Multiple Options
MegaDome® 2 is available with optional features to meet the specic needs
of your application. Built-in infrared (IR) LEDs make it possible to obtain clear
images in total darkness. The audio option provides connectors for two-way
communication. An optional heater keeps your camera up and running when
temperatures descend below normal operational specications.

Enhanced Low Light Performance
As part of their superior Day/Night operation, MegaDome® 2
cameras include low light-enhancing technology such as
binning and adaptive noise-cancellation. This functionality
along with integrated IR illumination provides a winning
combination in complete darkness.
User-Friendly Web Interface
For easy installation, remote focus and remote zoom can be done through the
camera webpage. Just click “short range focus” or “full range focus” to get a clear
image through the IK-10 rated dome bubble. The added auto-iris functionality
provides better depth of eld in varying lighting conditions.
Additional Benets Include:
•
Fine tuning for a better image after installation
•
Quicker installation for lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
•
Ability to choose wide or telephoto depending on application requirements
•
Auto-iris is designed to provide the maximum depth of eld in any lighting
condition to ensure the best possible image quality
