“The Omni SX brings both enhanced image quality and increased product reliability to meet the needs of our customers across multiple challenging surveillance environments.”

The compact, low-profile SurroundVideo Omni SX is the newest member of the proven family of omni-directional, adjustable view dome surveillance cameras that the company pioneered for the security industry beginning in 2014.

The new multi-sensor camera series builds upon the global success of the Omni G2 in offering both 12 and 20MP models.

Each feature True Day/Night capabilities for indoor/outdoor usage, including Advanced Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for varied lighting conditions and NightView™ technology for strong low-light performance.

Built-in SNAPstream™ technology reduces bandwidth without sacrificing image quality.

The 4-sensor, user-configurable Omni SX camera series features the customer’s choice of remote focus lens options ranging from 2.1 to 16mm.

Furthermore, the unique, future-proof platform of the SurroundVideo Omni SX provides organizations of all sizes the flexibility to deploy a security system that truly matches their video surveillance needs now.

And should requirements change in the future, its ground-breaking flexibility allows users the ability to easily move each of the four sensors around the magnetic 70+ placement-point Omni track, as well as interchanging the remote focus modular lenses for a customized field of view.

The SurroundVideo Omni SX provides customers with the confidence in a future-proof investment.
