View/download the original article published on Source Security here.

The 5th generation SurroundVideo® G5 delivers 4 integrated, P-iris, remote focus lenses in a compact dome camera that is easier than ever to install for loading docks, factories, restaurants, retail, parking lots, lobbies, and more.

G5 delivers an incredible 180º panoramic experience with double the frame rate of previous models. 5, 12, and 20-megapixel models all offer built-in remote focus capability to simplify set-up. WDR, STELLAR™ advanced color low light technology, and more.

Panoramic overview 

SurroundVideo® G5 cameras provide an all-in-one solution for capturing wide area video surveillance while maximizing the field-of-view and reducing the total number of cameras required. For added flexibility, users can view the camera’s four sensors individually or as a smooth transition of all images blended together for a full 180° panoramic view. The camera is factory aligned with a slight image overlap to ensure you never miss a thing. For an optimal image, each sensor can be individually adjusted for the best exposure ratio per sensor. 

Resolution 

The SurroundVideo® G5 multi-megapixel camera series delivers 5-, 12-, or 20-megapixel resolutions. 

Lenses 

The SurroundVideo® G5 multi-sensor, multi-megapixel dome camera pushes the boundaries of next-generation technology, providing users with four integrated, Remote Focus P-iris lenses for an incredible 180° panoramic experience in a single indoor/outdoor housing. 

Rugged design 

SurroundVideo® G5 is designed for demanding environments. Subjected and certified to rigorous dust and water tests, the IP66 rating, and its extended operating temperature range make it ideal for outdoor applications. The IK-10 rated, rugged dome housing is perfect for deterring vandals since it can withstand the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force. 

Ease of installation 

The SurroundVideo® G5 camera features four factory-installed Remote Focus P-iris lenses, ensuring the best possible depth of field and image clarity for precise performance from each individual sensor. Once mounted, the operator can quickly focus the camera remotely, eliminating the need to adjust the camera on-site. No more hassle individually installing multiple cameras to cover a wide area, manually focusing lenses, or risk missing critical information from a 180° scene. 

Challenging lighting conditions 

The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality at any time of day. For challenging low-light applications, the 5MP STELLAR™, “Spatio Temporal Low Light Architecture” model offers best-in-class light sensitivity capturing details in extreme low-light. The 12MP SurroundVideo® G5 camera (AV12586PM) features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) to produce clear images in harsh lighting conditions.
