ConteraIP®Omni LX RS Installation Manual
Camera Overview
The ConteraIP®Omni LX Remote Setup (RS) is an industry-game-changing first-of-its-kind omni-
directional, remote-configurable, multi-sensor, multi-megapixel camera built to provide outstanding high-
resolution video coverage for a wide range of applications. The unmatched coverage and capabilities of
the ConteraIP®Omni LX RS provides organizations of all sizes the flexibility to deploy a surveillance
camera system that truly matches their current and future requirements for complete situational
awareness.
ConteraIP®Omni LX RS is available with a choice of 8 or 20-megapixel (MP) resolutions. The number of
cameras required for a project can be dramatically reduced with a single ConteraIP®Omni LX RS
because of its four customizable remote sensor gimbals which allow fast and easy installation. You simply
install the hinged mounting plate, connect the PoE+ (Power-over-Ethernet) IP cable, and then remotely
configure the camera. When configuring the camera, you can select a “Preset” choice for 180°, 270°, or
360° views. Or, use the intuitive interface to remotely pan, tilt, zoom and focus each sensor. Also, two
custom presets created by the user can be saved to memory. The camera is integrated with the industry’s
leading VMS/NVR platforms, and the microSD card slot supports up to 256GB of storage capacity for
convenient onboard storage.
ConteraIP®Omni LX RS is ideal for applications with normal or challenging lighting conditions. The Omni
combines a day/night mechanical IR cut filter for the highest image quality at any time of day. For clear
color images in low-light, NightView™ offers strong low-light sensitivity for capturing details in extremely
poor-lit scenes. Power can be supplied via a single PoE+ (802.3at) compliant network cable or via a 12–
48V DC/24V AC power supply.
ConteraIP®Omni LX RS is designed for demanding environments. Certified with rigorous dust and water
tests, the camera carries an IP66 rating. The rugged dome housing is IK-10 rated to withstand the
equivalent of 55 kg (120 lbs) of force for vandal-prone applications.
Under 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 ConteraIP®Omni LX RS is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) Profile S, G, Q and T
compliant, providing interoperability between network video products regardless of manufacturer.
