Los Angeles, CA (June 18, 2014) – Arecont Vision®, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, announces the availability of its new MegaBall® 2 camera series that delivers wide area coverage with significant cost-efficiency. The new MegaBall 2 with an ImmerVision Panomorph lens can capture 180° and 360° fields of view with de-warping to provide up to 4X more angular resolution in peripheral areas of a scene than conventional fisheye lenses. MegaBall 2 Panomorph cameras are currently shipping.
“Our new MegaBall 2 Panomorph megapixel cameras deliver the ideal balance of performance and cost-efficiency for a wide variety of applications that do not require the precision of our high-performance SurroundVideo panoramic megapixel cameras,” said Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision. “Unlike conventional fisheye cameras, MegaBall 2 Panomorph cameras provide images with clarity in peripheral areas which in effect increases their area coverage.”
The new MegaBall 2 Panomorph is a 5-megapixel camera in a tamper-resistant housing. Features include Day/Night operation, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10)/MJPEG dual encoders, privacy masking, extended motion detection with 1,024 distinct motion detection zones, flexible cropping to adjust image sizes and the ability to choose PoE (Power over Ethernet) or external power. Integrated cable management and a three-axis adjustment facilitate ease of installation. MegaBall 2 Panomorph cameras are available in wall, surface and flush mount configurations in light gray and black housings.
