VideoSphere MegaPX. The new Nanodome from March Networks

VideoSphere MegaPX Nanodome is the new Megapixel IP camera from March Networks. Compact neat and low profile, this IP camera offers high resolution pictures of HD quality. Mpeg compression streams of UP to 30 frames per second and a CMOS chip enables the Videosphere Nanodome to operate in low light scenarios and still give excellent colour and definition. Produced to integrate easily into March Networks video management software the H.264 compression technology within the camera is up to 20 times more efficient than many other J-PEG based IP cameras out in the marketplace.

The ability to produce two video streams means the videosphere MegaPX has built in redundancy features and is both economic and flexible. The IP camera comes with a 4.00mm fixed lens and the surface mount feature makes it very easy to install. Something we are always keen to See.

MegaPX looks a little different from its rivals but as with any March Networks product its quality goes without question. POE  is always a feature we look for here at Integrated CCTV and the Videosphere MegaPX is equipped with this facility a must these days with any Megapixel IP camera. The Nanodome will integrate beautifully with March’s range of HD NVRs and of course the MegaPX is fully ONVIF compliant.

If you need to order this part with your distributor the  part number for reference is MEGAPXNANOD4. HD dome cameras are becoming very popular within integrated security solutions today and March Networks have produced the MegaPX Nanodome with this very much in mind

FD100-A series from Brickcom

FD100-A series.

The Brickcom FD100-A megapixel ip dome camera comes with several features in an effort to help it stand out from the crowd.

Firstly it supports MPEG-4, MJPEG and H.264 compression this means data can easily be streamed across any network with the minimal disruption. The picture is helped at night by built in IR LEDs and a photo electric cell to auto sense day/night situations.

As with all Brickcom IP cameras it comes with software to easily configure the camera onto the network.  Alarms are able to be tripped from an external input and by recording alarms only this will  help save space on the recording harddrive. Finally and most importantly the Megapixel IP camera has the ability to be powered over Ethernet.(POE)

The wide angle varifocal lens give an extensive view that is crisp and clear and of excellent quality streaming high res images of up to 30fps across the network.

The whole ethos behind the Brickcom IP video solution is ease of installation, less time on site and thus more profit. Of course reliability is key as is support and back up from Brickcom themselves. It seems all this is place so no reason then for The FD100-a series not to go from strength to strength.
