Cameras 33 Percent Lighter Than Previous Models

October 16, 2011
Casino Security Camera

Arecont Vision expanded its Compact MegaVideo line of box cameras from 10 models to 15, including a new 1.3 megapixel compact H.264 model (AV1115), a full HD1080p compact H.264 model (AV2115), a dual-mode 10 megapixel/1080p compact H.264 camera (AV10115), 3 megapixel H.264 (AV3115) and 5 megapixel H.264 (AV5115) compact cameras. The cameras are less expensive, smaller (with 45 percent less depth dimension) and 33 percent lighter than previous models. The cameras can support 4.5-10mm and 8-16mm varifocal lenses and still fit inside a 4-inch dome housing. The AV2115 full HD1080p compact H.264 model can operate in the company’s Casino Mode, which ensures continuous full-motion recording at 30 frames per second to comply with gaming industry regulations. Casino Mode guarantees that the frame rate will not dip below 30 fps by forcing automatic bit rate and exposure control to maintain specific predetermined settings. The cameras are fully compatible with the PSIA (physical security interoperability alliance) industry standard and have passed PSIA conformance tests. Cameras can be powered by either power over Ethernet (PoE) or 12-48V DC/AC power supplies.
