Arecont Vision announced the World’s Smallest Full Motion 5.0, 3.0, 2.0 and 1.3 Megapixel IP Cameras which measure just 2.25"X2.5"X3.0", recently.

The AV5100M, AV3100M, AV2100M, AV1300M and AV3130M uses parallel image processing technology, MegaVideo. The cameras also fit well in most 5" domes with standard C/CS lenses and are also extremely cost effective. All of them include a wide variety of feature including; on-board motion detection, opto-coupled inputs / outputs with external flash synchronization, auto-iris support, compliant Power-over-Ethernet capability, and proprietary MoonLight(TM) noise-cancellation technology for low-light imaging.

"Our goal is to provide the surveillance community with cost-comparable but vastly superior alternative to analog video. While the advantages of full motion multi-megapixel video are undisputed, the key factors affecting the selection of cameras for any installation are performance, form-factor and the price of the camera. With this in mind we have redesigned our product line to reduce the size of the cameras so that they fit in popular mini domes, and we added additional functionality often critical for professional installations. The new design leverages cutting-edge ASIC technology and is less costly to produce as compared with our older models. Combined with high quality of US-based manufacturing, this allowed us to price the new generation of cameras lower, providing virtually no-cost-penalty alternative to analog video. In a short time since its release, this new product line has been so successful that we have already sold these cameras in some multi-thousand unit projects where cost and camera size were key criteria," said Michael Kaplinsky, CEO of Arecont Vision
