1080p H.264 Mega Dome 2-Series Camera
The Arecont Vision AV2256PM is a 1080p H.264 Mega Dome 2-Series network security IP dome camera designed for professional surveillance installations. It delivers 1920 x 1080 TVL resolution with a 1/3 inch sensor and a 3 to 9 mm varifocal lens. The unit supports 360° pan and 90° tilt rotation angles for flexible coverage. It operates at 11W power consumption.
100Base-T Ethernet and Network Protocols
The camera connects via a 100Base-T Ethernet network interface for wired integration into existing infrastructure. Supported network protocols include TFTP, HTTP, RTSP, RTP/TCP and RTP/UDP for video streaming and device management. These protocols enable compatibility with standard video management software and network video recorders. No additional bundled accessories or software are detailed in the specifications.
32 Frames Per Second at 1080p
The image frame rate reaches 32 frames per second at the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. The 100Base-T interface limits total bandwidth to approximately 100 megabits per second, which constrains multi-camera deployments on a single network segment. The H.264 compression reduces bitrate but does not eliminate the physical interface ceiling. Buyers needing higher frame rates or multi-gigabit throughput should consider cameras with faster network interfaces.

Questions about this item
What maintenance does the Mega Dome 2 series dome camera require for its moving parts?
The 360° pan and 90° tilt mechanism may need periodic cleaning and lubrication to maintain smooth movement over long-term operation.
Which limit appears first during continuous recording at 32 frames per second?
The 100Base-T Ethernet interface caps sustained network throughput, which can become the bottleneck before the sensor or encoding pipeline.
How much heat does the dome produce when running all day at 11W?
At 11W power draw the camera dissipates modest heat; the dome housing is designed to passively manage that thermal load without active cooling.
