12-megapixel 360° panoramic camera

Arecont Vision announced the availability of its 12-megapixel (MP) 360° panoramic camera with true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). The SurroundVideo 12 MP WDR 360° camera delivers wide-area coverage even in the most challenging lighting conditions. The ultra-compact camera’s unobtrusive design makes it ideal for numerous applications both indoors and outdoors.

“The new panoramic camera is the perfect complement to the 180° version released last year,” said Raul Calderon, senior vice president, Arecont Vision. “These versatile 12 MP panoramic cameras provide clear images from wide dynamic to night-time conditions.”

Arecont Vision’s WDR technology delivers a dynamic range of up to 100 dB at full resolution without lowering frame rates. By combining long and short exposures in the same field of view, WDR maximises the amount of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene. The WDR performance of Arecont Vision cameras represents up to 50 dB improvement (300X) in dynamic range compared to conventional cameras.

Four 3 MP WDR image sensors inside the SurroundVideo 12 MP WDR 360° panoramic camera each provide 2048 x 1536-pixel resolution for a total resolution of 8192 x 1536-pixels. True mechanical infrared (IR) cut filters optimise performance in low light. The camera’s dome housing is IP66 environmentally rated and IK10 impact resistant.
