Arecont Vision Costar AV20576RS 20MP Omni 4x5MP Sensors/2.8-8mm Lens Cam

The camera offers advanced image processing capabilities, including Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology. This ensures that the camera can effectively handle scenes with varying light levels, delivering clear and balanced images even in challenging lighting conditions. It can capture details in both bright and dark areas simultaneously, allowing for accurate identification and analysis.

Additionally, the AV20576RS supports digital pan, tilt, and zoom (ePTZ) functionality, enabling users to zoom in on specific areas of interest within the wide-angle view without losing image quality. This provides enhanced situational awareness and enables users to focus on critical details.

The camera is designed for outdoor use and is built to withstand harsh weather conditions. It features an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, which protects it from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors. This ensures reliable operation and longevity, making it suitable for various outdoor surveillance applications.

Furthermore, the AV20576RS supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power cables. It also offers flexible network connectivity options, including support for standard network protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and FTP.

The camera is compatible with a range of video management systems (VMS) and supports industry-standard streaming formats such as H.264 and MJPEG. This allows for seamless integration into existing surveillance systems and provides compatibility with various viewing and recording platforms.
