Contera Bullet IP Megapixel Cameras
Camera Overview
The Contera®Bullet outdoor-ready megapixel camera features 1080p and 5-megapixel (MP) resolution for
optimum performance. The Contera Bullet combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter with an integrated
motorized 2.7–12mm varifocal remote focus and zoom precision iris (P-iris) lens.
Regardless of the time of day, the Contera Bullet is prepared for any lighting condition. For applications with
poor lighting conditions, Enhanced WDR™ (wide dynamic range) at 120dB provides the best visual balance
to shaded and bright light conditions.
For clear color images in low-light, NightView™ offers strong low-light sensitivity for capturing details in
extremely poor-lit scenes, and is further enhanced by built-in Smart IR LED illumination that automatically
adjusts output in response to the distance of an object in view to prevent over-exposure when the object is
very close to the camera.
Arecont Vision was the first to bring H.264 to the mainstream market and recently developed SNAPstream™
(Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology for reducing bandwidth without impacting image
quality. Today we are proud to offer our next generation H.265 with SNAPstream+™ smart codec capable of
delivering high quality video while saving over 50% of the data rate to reduce or prevent strain on the
network.
The SD card slot supports up to 256GB of storage capacity for convenient onboard storage. The camera’s
power can be supplied via a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE - IEEE 802.3af) compliant network cable connection.
The Contera Bullet is IP66 rated for both indoor and outdoor applications. All models feature an impact
resistant cast-aluminum housing capable of withstanding the equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force.
The Contera Bullet is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S and G compliant, providing
interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.

Camera Discovery, Setup, and Configuration
For camera discovery and setup, the AV IP Utility is recommended. The software can be found on the CD
included with your camera or at: http://www.arecontvision.com/softwares.php
The AV IP Utility has the ability to provide multiple discovery options, including broadcast and multicast,
check the status of a camera, change camera settings, import and export camera settings via a .csv file, and
update firmware and/or hardware from virtually anywhere with a network connection.

only one camera needs changed, the AV IP Utility tool is efficient and convenient for mass or single camera
uploads.
The AV IP Utility tool is compatible with all Contera®cameras. The user manual for the software is included
on the CD that came with your camera or available on our website.
