Microdome Duo® Installation Manual

Camera Overview

The MicroDome Duo multi-sensor, multi-megapixel 2-dome cameras provide users with professional
surveillance experience for a variety of network surveillance requirements.
The MicroDome Duo multi-megapixel cameras series feature a choice of 4-, 6- or 10-megapixel resolution
options, including 4- and 6-megapixel WDR options.
These remote focus true day/night cameras are available with a choice of lenses including 2.8mm, 8mm or no
lens options.
For added flexibility, users can place both individual three-axis lens gimbals independently in any direction
These cameras are ideal for indoor and outdoor use and deliver excellent low light imaging.
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 4 and 6MP 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.
MicroDome Duo cameras are designed for demanding environments. They are rated IP 66 for dust and water
ingress protection and rated IK-10 for vandal resistance.
The cameras offer 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 a 12-48V 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 MicroDome Duo is PSIA (Physical Security
Interoperability Alliance) compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of
manufacturer.
