Consider Pixels/Foot

• Detail Matters: More Pixels Equals More Detail• Facial or License plate recognition requires approximately 140 pixels per

foot

Reduced Cost per Square Foot Under Surveillance

• Reduced cameras to install AV3100 (3M camera) can replace up to 9 analog cameras AV8180 (4x2M camera) can replace up to 24 analog cameras Camera mounts, wiring, lenses, enclosures

• Lower NVR licensing fees Average cost per NVR ranges from $50 to $400 per camera.

• Reduced wiring cost Ethernet is less expensive than Coax

• No External Power Cameras are powered via “Switch” Powered Over Ethernet (802.3AF)

AV1300 – The 4Cif Analog IP Killer

The industry is seeing mounting evidence that Arecont Vision’s AV1300 1.3 megapixel camera is capturing an ever-increasing share of IP camera sales worldwide.  

Why?   Key points when selling against standard resolution IP cameras:

• The AV1300M is priced competitively with most of the leading brands in low resolution IP cameras.

• When set to quarter resolution (640x512), produces comparable file sizes, bandwidth, and storage requirements to that of low resolution IP cameras.

• When the customer is ready to benefit from megapixel resolution a programming step changes the camera to full resolution.   

• Alternatively, the cameras can be switched to full megapixel resolution (1280x1024) during alarm events and then back to quarter resolution (640x512) when the event ends.

• The AV1300 is the only 1.3 megapixel camera that is able to achieve more than 32 frames per second.

• With the AV1300M, Arecont Vision poses a very real challenge to the competition and a compelling question to consumers:  Why would someone buy a standard resolution IP camera if they can buy Arecont Vision’s megapixel camera at a comparable price?  Especially since Arecont offers the flexibility of adjusting the resolution up and down to adapt to storage and/or bandwidth constraints.

Result: Arecont Vision offers “future-proofing” that no other CCTV camera can match.

Future Proof - Quarter Resolution

Purchase a megapixel camera and run at ¼ resolution to save bandwidth and storage. When Storage and Bandwidth are less of a concern, increase to full

resolution without exchanging cameras.

Full Resolution (1600x1200)AV2100163KB

Quarter Resolution (800x600)AV210040KB

Image Cropping

• Pixels can be cropped off at the sensor• Only required data is sent conserving

bandwidth and storage• Streamed images can be cropped vertically

or horizontally.

Mega Pixel Family Features

– Made in the USA– Easy to Use, less than 5 minutes to install

• Connect Ethernet from the computer to camera, and load software. It’s that easy. – Ten times the resolution of a high quality analog camera

• 2040x1530 versus 640x480• Up to 24 frames per second at 1600x1200 (24fps is same as a DVDs)

– Data transfer rate at over 55 Mbit/sec– View Multiple frames simultaneously

• View an 800x600 image and a high resolution image box simultaneously– Change resolution on the fly

• i.e.. view 9 frames in 800x600 mode and then view the 10th frame in 1920x1080 mode. (saves bandwidth)

– Sensitively down to .01 lux --- very low light sensitive – Multiple power input

• Separate power supplies are no longer required for powering cameras. The Megapixel cameras allow system installer the simplicity of connecting a single Ethernet cable to carry both power and video. This allows greater flexibility and significantly decreases installation costs.

• Powered over Ethernet (POE) - IEEE802.3af compliant• Alternative DC Input 12VDC
