Product Spotlight on Covert Surveillance
Adding eye-level surveillance no longer means installing a full-sized dome camera in the middle of a well-decorated hallway. These small, covert surveillance solutions are meant for discrete installations that do not interrupt aesthetics.
Arecont Vision MegaVideo Flex
Designed for discreet surveillance, this camera family provides a range of megapixel camera resolutions and a wide range of lens choices. The compact and flexible design of the camera means that it can be used inside ATMs, toll lanes or restaurant drive-thru applications as well. The camera sensor connects to the main camera unit over a standard USB cable up to 40 feet away, and only the main camera unit connects to the IP network, making it ideal for environments that do not allow network cables to extend outside the building.
