SurroundVideo®!Omni!G2
Camera Overview!
The SurroundVideo® Omni G2, next generation multi-sensor, multi-megapixel dome camera pushes
the ease of installation even further providing users with four (4) remote focus lens options on a unique
360° magnetic track encompassed in a single indoor/outdoor, impact-resistant housing. The
customization of this camera is unparalleled offering a range of interchangeable lens options for each
individual sensor including 2.1, 2.8, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16mm options.
For added flexibility, users can place the four individual three-axis lens gimbals independently in nearly
any configuration on the track for applications such as hallway intersections or the corner of a building
for a 270° view. The three-axis lens adjustment provides users with more camera placement options,
allowing the cameras to be easily mounted on a wall or ceiling so they can pan, tilt, and rotate the lens
in a variety of directions for a precise field of view.
The SurroundVideo® Omni G2 multi-megapixel camera series features a choice of 12- or 20-megapixel
resolution options. These 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
saving installers time and end users money.
Regardless of time-of-day, this camera is ideal for applications with challenging lighting conditions. The
series combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality at any time of day. For
applications with bright or over saturated lighting conditions, optional wide dynamic range delivers up to
100dB at full resolution and is available on select 12MP models. For applications with poor low lighting
conditions, Binning Mode increases the camera’s low light performance by combining pixels so that
more light can be collected.
Once mounted, the operator can quickly focus and position 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.
SurroundVideo® Omni G2 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.
The camera offers advanced streaming capabilities and is designed on an efficient H.264 encoding
platform capable of delivering high quality video without straining the network. Power can be supplied
via a single Power-over-Ethernet compliant network cable or with power from a 12-48V DC/24V AC
power supply.
The camera's interface allows for an intuitive, fast, and easy configuration; while the Free AV IP Utility
tool allows users to quickly configure multiple cameras at one time. The SurroundVideo® Omni G2 is
PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) compliant, providing interoperability between network
video products regardless of manufacturer.
