SurroundVideo Omni G3 is a revolutionary IP network surveillance camera.
“The SurroundVideo Omni G3 continues the Arecont Vision tradition of being a market leader through innovative new products,” said Brad Donaldson, VP of Product Development, Arecont Vision.
“The Omni G3 is the easiest multi-sensor omnidirectional camera in the industry to install, setup, and configure, saving our customers both time and money”.
Arecont Vision continues to lead the multi-sensor camera market that the company first pioneered in 2006 and SurroundVideo Omni G3 goes the final step, delivering no touch remote setup.
The Omni G3 can be quickly installed on a wall, corner, ceiling, pole, emergency call box, or other structure.
Motorized Track.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 takes the 360° omni track to the next level with seamless motorized remote positioning of each of the four independent sensor gimbals.
Remote Setup.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 features a first-of-its-kind, industry game-changing ability to be set up completely remotely.
Pan, tilt, focus, and zoom functionality of the four 2.8–6mm*** varifocal lens sensors can be accessed via the camera’s webpage controls.
Once the camera is physically mounted, the rest of the setup process is “hands-free”, thanks to the versatility and simplicity of the remote setup controls.
Preset Configurations.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 cameras feature preset configurations and the ability for the user to create and save their own presets to memory.
With a single click of a button, the four motorized sensors can be configured in a 180°, 270°, or 360° standard configuration.
By using the pan, tilt, focus, and zoom controls, the user can create and save up to two of their own presets.
The camera is then connected to a single PoE (Power over Ethernet) IP network cable.
The installer can then dismount from the ladder or lift, and connect to the camera’s integrated webpage over the network for setup.
180o, 270o, or 360o preset views can be selected, or the installer can adjust and position each of the sensors remotely, including remote focus, zoom, and tilt.

New presets can also be saved, so that the view can be completely changed when needed.
For example, a stadium may have different viewing requirements for a sporting event versus a concert.
The user can select the appropriate preset, and the camera will move the sensors to that new perspective.
The camera can then be returned to the original view just as easily.
This can all be done without requiring the time and cost of manually mounting a ladder or lift to remove and then replace the dome bubble after adjusting the aim of the 4 sensors, or shifting the entire camera.
Easy Installation.
The SurroundVideo Omni G3 housing features a hinged base plate that is installed prior to attaching the camera.
Once the base plate is mounted, SurroundVideo Omni G3 can be hung onto the plate hinge while the installer prepares to fasten the pre-attached screws.
After the screws have been tightened, the rest of the installation is completely done remotely with the remote setup controls, making SurroundVideo Omni G3 one of the fastest, if not the fastest, and easiest to install multi-sensor cameras on the market.
SNAPstream™ Technology.
SNAPstream™ technology, or Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing, reduces bandwidth without sacrificing image quality.
This breakthrough technology adapts to changes in the scene on the fly, and only pushes through necessary information.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 does not require excessive bandwidth as a result, despite the outstanding HD video delivered.
All SurroundVideo Omni cameras feature four individual day/night mechanical IR cut filters for the highest image quality at any time of day.
Select 12MP models offer Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) up to 100dB at full resolution for challenging or varied lighting conditions.
All SurroundVideo series cameras offer advanced streaming capabilities.
They are designed on the Arecont Vision highly efficient H.264 encoding platform to deliver high quality video without straining the network.
SurroundVideo Omni G3 adds support for SNAPstream™ (Smart Noise Adaptation and Processing) technology, bringing further reduced camera bandwidth consumption without impacting image quality.
The entire Made in USA SurroundVideo series is subjected to and certified by rigorous dust, water, and impact tests with strict manufacturing quality control.
With IP66 and IK-10 ratings and an extended operating temperature range, SurroundVideo Omni G3 cameras are ideal for indoor, outdoor, and vandal-prone applications.
