2 2 Look Both Ways Outdoor Ready Discrete In-Ceiling MicroDome Duo features two sensors in one housing. It is designed for indoor/ outdoor use and works great for covering hallways and corridors. Multiple accessories are available for wall and ceiling mounting solutions. MicroDome series single sensor surface mounted cameras are designed for indoor/outdoor use and have a variety of mounting accessories for wall, ceiling, and corner mounting solutions. MicroDome series flush mount cameras are designed for extra discrete indoor surveillance solutions and featu re an easy-t o-i nstall spring - arm mechanism. Strong Versatility MicroDome Duo megapixel technology delivers superior image quality and reduces overall system costs by covering areas that would normally require two fixed single-sensor cameras. A long hallway or corridor can be covered from the center point, or at a pivot point where a corridor turns, and provide detailed imaging while looking in both directions. The additional sensor can also be used as a secondary camera for capturing extra-detail in an area of a scene, such as the need for perfect facial recognition at a building entrance. MicroDome Duo cameras deliver comprehensive coverage and forensic detail, all without the need for an operator to direct them or the propensity to be facing the wrong way as is common with PTZ cameras when an incident occurs. MicroDome Duo cameras are available in 4MP, 6MP, and 10MP resolutions, and only require one license from most of the industry s leading VMS manufacturers. Integrated Microphone MicroDome series flush-mount cameras feature an integrated microphone to capture audio, eliminating the need to install separate audio connectors on site. If not desired, the microphone can be disabled.

3 A Truly Flexible IP Camera Solution. 3 Turn Low Profile to Stealth Mode MegaVideo Flex camera series offers a cost-effective security solution for installations that require a flexible, compact design. Due to its small footprint, the MegaVideo Flex easily fits into leading automated teller machines and tight spaces. These stylish indoor cameras feature a choice of 1.2MP, 1080p, 3MP, and 5-megapixel (MP) resolution options and a unique tethered USB cabling design that allows the camera to be mounted in one area while the main unit is mounted up to 40ft (12m) away. Remote Focus. MegaVideo Flex can be installed without locally adjusting the focus of the sensor. Remote focus can be controlled through the camera webpage. Just click short range focus or full range focus to get a clear image. IR Modules. A MegaVideo Flex installation can be configured with up to two optional IR modules that utilize the same housing as the sensor. This allows for advanced illumination setups in dark spaces to achieve the best image details. Interchangeable Lenses. The Remote Focus mechanism on MegaVideo Flex has been designed separate from the lenses, allowing users to swap lenses easily from a choice of multiple lens options ranging from 2.1mm to 16mm.

11 Moog Fusion Camera Housing (Thermiq) 11 The rugged, ergonomic and technologically-advanced Fusion Camera Housing Line of professional-grade environmental enclosures protects fixed IP cameras and allows them to thrive at peak performance over a longer life. Adaptable to a multitude of outdoor and indoor surveillance applications, the Fusion Line offers a high-performance, modern solution for optimal camera protection and ease of installation. Six primary platform models in the Fusion Line address multiple surveillance needs and technology requirements. The flagship of the series features innovative Thermiq Cooling Technology (FCH11C2WQ) which is ideal for surveillance applications in cities, on highways, or in any extreme heat environment. Thermiq Technology keeps cameras closer to ambient temperature by flowing warm internal air and cool external air over a heat sink designed for maximum efficiency. Through this device, heat generated by leading IP cameras and sun radiation is evacuated from the housing allowing sensitive IP camera electronics to operate more reliably in harsh environments. The Fusion family also includes a Power over Ethernet (PoE) model with patent pending Dynamic Power Allocation (DPA) technology. Moog proprietary DPA technology offers intelligent power distribution between the camera and the heater and blower system. DPA prioritizes incoming power so that successful camera operation is guaranteed across a full range of operating conditions. All Fusion models are designed to be rugged. The IP66 rated housing is engineered of resilient polycarbonate material specifically designed to resist UV damage and stand up to the elements. Equipped with a wire-feed-through wall mount comprised of cast aluminum materials, Fusion camera enclosures completely protect wiring. Thermiq TM Technology removes up to 75% of heat generated by the camera and solar energy keeping the internal housing temperature closer to ambient. Ergonomics also played a key role in the engineering of the Fusion Line. Each model includes purpose-built features such as a side-hinged, easy-access lid, a snap-in camera sled, and a wire-feed-through wall/pole mount that allows the housing to tilt forward for easy wire pulls: all designed to ensure simple and efficient installation. These features allow cameras to be installed in seconds. The fixed Fusion Line is built on the successful foundation of the original professional-grade Fusion Line a camera enclosure series designed for compatibility with most leading IP and analog camera manufacturers.
