Arecont Vision, an industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, announces the availability of the its new NVR all-in-one network video recorder series. Best known for its megapixel cameras, the NVR series marks the company’s first hardware product that is not a security camera. Arecont’s NVR offers the choice of eight- or 16-channel models (one channel = one camera sensor), each with built-in PoE network switch, customer-replaceable hard drives and Arecont Vision GUI interface.
The company says Smart Plug-and-Play technology simplifies setup with both Auto Discover and Auto Configuration, and camera licenses are included for a complete all-in-one solution.
The eight-channel AV800 model offers up to 10MP resolution recording per sensor, including 4K resolution and 40MP panoramic cameras. The AV1600 offers 16 channels and up to 5MP resolution recording per sensor. Both AV800 and AV1600 NVR models offer H.264, H.265 and MJPEG compression. Arecont Vision SNAPstream (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology is said to reduce bandwidth without impacting image quality.
WD Purple Surveillance Hard Drives from Western Digital are included in with-drive configurations. No-drive configurations are available for customers wishing to install their own hard disk drives within Arecont Vision recommendations.
Arecont has also unveiled the newest member of its MegaDome camera series, the MegaDome UltraHD. The new MegaDome UltraHD adds Tri-Mode capability, offering the user the choice of 12MP at 20fps, 4K at 30fps, or 1080p at 60fps, enabling delivery of outstanding video for a wide range of requirements. The camera offers network protocols for security and management including SNMP, HTTPS, 802.1x, IPv4 and DHCP. Power requirements are met entirely via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or optionally via 12-24V DC.
Like all Arecont cameras, the MegaDome UltraHD includes the company’s in-house developed Massively Parallel Image Processing (MPIP) architecture, leveraging a built-in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) integrated circuit. The architecture enables Arecont Vision cameras to be field upgraded with new advanced features and capabilities as they become available, while providing unmatched cybersecurity capabilities, according to the company.
