The AV12ZMV-301 from Arecont Vision is a 12 Megapixel H.264 True Day/Night Indoor Box-Style IP Camera with SNAPstream (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing), NightView, and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range). The 12-megapixel (MP)/8.3MP/1080p MegaVideo UltraHD “tri-mode” network camera is the new generation of Arecont Vision’s MegaVideo cameras. This fully compliant implementation of H.264 (MPEG-4, Part 10) provides full 3968 x 2992 megapixel resolution at video frame rates of 20 frames per second (fps) at 12MP, 30fps. The series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with a choice of three ultra high definition P-iris lenses for precise, optimal image quality. MegaVideo UltraHD performs exceptionally well in very low-light thanks to NightView, making it capable of covering areas where very little light is present.
Features include SNAPstream (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) to reduce bandwidth without impacting image quality, scaling, privacy masking, extended motion detection, flexible cropping, and Power over Ethernet (PoE - IEEE 802.3af). Built with Arecont Vision massively-parallel processing technology, MegaVideo UltraHD offers more than 38-times the resolution of standard resolution IP cameras. It offers the ability to output full real-time frame rates and deliver high-quality megapixel imaging for both indoor and outdoor applications. The SDHC card slot supports up to 32GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The motorized remote focus/zoom lenses with P-iris control make set-up and maintenance easy. The camera’s power can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable connection or with power from a 12–24V DC/24V AC power supply. The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration.
