Ultra high resolution monitoring over a network is now a reality with the AV3100-DN from Arecont Vision. The camera is equipped with a 1/2" color CMOS sensor brimming with 3 million pixels, and incorporates AV's proprietary massively-parallel MegaVideo technology. Together, these enable the camera to produce exceptional quality video images with the level of sharpness and color accuracy normally associated with digital still cameras.
To put it in numbers, video is captured at a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and at speeds of up to 15 FPS (in 3 MP mode), translating into a resolution ten times that of the best analog CCTV camera. The key advantage to having such a high resolution is the ability to greatly magnify a picture without suffering image degradation common to standard resolution cameras. Consequently, a single camera can be used to monitor an area normally requiring up to ten fixed analog cameras, making it a huge time and cost saver.
