GeoVision GV-MDR220 Network Camera — Dome

The GeoVision GV-MDR220 Network Camera combines reliable performance with a discreet dome housing to deliver versatile surveillance for real-time monitoring. Designed for both color and monochrome capture, this camera is ideal for environments that demand clear, continuous video that adapts to changing lighting conditions. With up to 1920 x 1080 resolution and a fast, efficient video pipeline, the GV-MDR220 provides smooth, frame-accurate imagery at 30 frames per second, enabling security teams to detect movement, track activity, and review incidents with precision. Its fixed lens simplifies installation and ensures a consistent field of view, while the CMOS sensor balances cost with dependable image quality across day and night scenarios. Whether deployed in retail spaces, offices, or industrial settings, this dome camera is crafted to deliver reliable surveillance that you can depend on, backed by GeoVision’s track record in IP video technology.

• Crystal-clear 1080p real-time video — The GV-MDR220 supports up to 1920 x 1080 resolution with a frame rate up to 30 fps, delivering sharp, fluid imagery for fast-moving scenes and detailed scene analysis. It supports multiple streaming formats, including H.264 and MJPEG, to balance image quality and bandwidth according to network conditions.
• Color and Monochrome modes for adaptable imaging — Switch between color and monochrome capture to optimize visibility in varying lighting. Monochrome mode excels in low-light or high-contrast environments, while color mode preserves true-to-life hues for accurate scene documentation, making it adaptable for day/night surveillance without additional hardware or lighting requirements.
• Robust dome design with vandal resistance — Engineered for durability, the GV-MDR220 features a dome enclosure that helps protect the lens and internals from tampering and environmental wear. This makes it suitable for entrances, hallways, stairwells, and other high-traffic areas where security equipment must withstand daily handling and potential impact.
• Fixed lens for reliability and easy maintenance — A fixed lens configuration means fewer moving parts, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring a stable field of view over time. This is ideal for long-term surveillance deployments where predictable performance and minimal calibration are essential.
• Seamless network integration with fast Ethernet — Equipped with a Fast Ethernet interface for reliable network connectivity, the GV-MDR220 is designed to integrate smoothly with existing IP surveillance systems, NVRs, and video management software. This enables straightforward remote viewing, centralized recording, and scalable growth across multiple cameras.
