Domes resist impact

Vista has introduced a family of impact resistant 3-axis domes to sit between its standard varifocal fixed style domes and the fully vandal resistant VVRD range.
The range's unique case design offers the installer both a flush and surface mount in a single model. This saves time during installation and, coupled with the 3-axis gimble, allows the domes to be used for a greater variety of applications. Installation times are further reduced by the service-jack socket which allows the installer to connect a local test monitor directly to the dome without having to disturb the pre-installed cabling.
The day/night camera has a mechanical IR switching filter which allows IR illumination at night whilst retaining high-quality images during the day. The colour/monochrome option allows a software switch for internal non-IR illuminated installations, providing clean, monochrome images in low light conditions.
Included in the range is a Pixim-based wide dynamic range camera which manages lighting extremes in the same scene. It is said to be ideal for internal applications where the scene includes both internal and external light sources, such as in reception areas and doorways.
