Outdoor Hi-Speed 10x Optical Zoom Mini-PTZ Dome Camera
Many business owners are looking for the ability to control their security cameras, pan back and forth, zoom in on cars in the parking lot, or trouble customers. Unfortunately, until now…these cameras often were above the price range of many business owners and were usually to bulky to be practical for most installations.
Our new PTZ-2000-10 Indoor/Outdoor Pan/Tilt/Zoom PTZ Mini-Dome Security camera is a great choice for both small business owners and homeowners alike. It’s miniature 4″ dome housing is barely larger than a standard security camera, and dwarfed by standard 9″ PTZ Dome cameras like our PTZ-2500-18 or PTZ-1500-27 Cameras. The High Speed operation Pan/Tilt motors power the PTZ-2000-10 mini PTZ camera to a smooth and precise operation, while the 10x Optical zoom module provides fast, efficient zoom with quick auto-focus capabilities. The low-lux night vision image sensor provides great low light night vision even in areas with very little light.
At nearly 1/2 the cost of larger PTZ security cameras, the PTZ-2000-10 Mini-Dome Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras are a great choice, allowing even lower budget business and home installations to benefit from PTZ control. We highly recommend our Alnet Systems PC-Based DVR Cards/Software, as these cards provide far better Pan/Tilt/Zoom control from the server as well as the remote client software. PTZ capabilities include control of the PTZ Camera with a keyboard, mouse, joystick both on the server, as well as over the internet using the VDR-C Remote client software.

In recent months, we had released a newer version of our popular CD-9255 camera, which had the Sony HQ1 image sensor. However, due to early issues with night vision capabilities of this camera and many of the early design HQ1 image sensors, the CD-9355 camera was temporarily pulled from the market for a redesign.

CD-9355 Hi-Res Outdoor Infrared Night Vision Sony HQ1 CCD Image sensor camera
We are proud to announce the launch of our newest Sony HQ1 540 TVL Image sensor camera. Our newly redesigned CD-9355 Outdoor Hi-Resolution Infrared Night Vision Security Camera provides extended infrared night vision range up to 50 meters away, improved resolution, and an agressive new body design. These cameras are ideal for outdoor business wall-mounted security camera installations where optimum picture quality and night vision capabilities with a wide-angle lens are required. The 4mm wide-angle lens provides a 90 degree viewable angle for optimum coverage for virtually any security camera installation.
The Sony HQ1 540 TVL Image sensor, provides great resolution color video during the daylight hours, and has now been redesigned in our CD-9355 cameras to provide great night vision in low-light conditions as well. Below are a few day and night shots from the new CD-9355 camera mounted outside a local convenience store.

Arecont Vision AV8360 8 MegaPixel SurroundVideo® 360° IP security camera
As budgets continue to get tighter, businesses small and large continue to look for additional ways to provide good quality video coverage of their business without spending a great deal of cash. Enter the Arecont Vision AV8360 SurroundVideo® 8 MegaPixel 360° IP security camera, this camera uses just a single IP license for your NVR Software, but provides a full 360 degree view without distortion or fisheye views. The industry-leading Arecont Vision MegaPixel IP Camera uses 4 x 2 MegaPixel CMOS 1/2″ image sensors placed at 4 cardinal positions inside the AV8360’s dome with 4mm Wideangle lenses. This allows each of the 4 image sensors to provide coverage of a 90 degree viewable angle, delivering a full 360 degree view.
What’s more, this AV8360 8.0 MegaPixel total resolution camera (6400×1200) provides better coverage than installing up to 24 individual standard resolution cameras. So now, a business owner can place a single camera in the center of their office, showroom, retail area, etc and provide full room coverage. The NVR (Network Video Recorder) software will even recognize the camera as a single IP Camera, saving the added expense of multiple camera licenses.
The Arecont Vision AV8360 MegaPixel IP Camera can be mounted inside or outside with optional indoor or outdoor wall-mount or ceiling mount pendant brackets. Simply run a CAT-5 Network cable from your PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch, and it will provide power and connection capabilities through the single cable. This helps to reduce the cost of installation further, by reducing the amount of cabling that is necessary for connecting your security cameras.
