Camera Overview

The MicroDome® G2 megapixel IP cameras provide professional surveillance for a variety of network
surveillance requirements. An innovative spring arm design makes recessed installation a snap: simply
slide the camera through the hole and secure the magnetized cover ring with a single screw. These
remote focus true day/night cameras are available with a choice of lenses including 2.8mm, 4mm,
6mm, 8mm, 12mm, and 16mm options. The 3-axis adjustment cameras are available in 1.2MP, 1080p,
3MP and 5MP versions. This camera is ideal for indoor use and delivers excellent low light imaging.
Cast-aluminum housings combined with the polycarbonate bubble are vandal resistant IK-10.
