8MP 180° Surround Video Camera
The Arecont Vision AV8185CO is an 8 megapixel security camera that captures a 180° surround view at a resolution of 6400 x 1200 pixels. It uses a 1/2 inch colour sensor with an 8 mm focal length and supports H.264 and MJPEG compression. The unit mounts on a surface and includes back light compensation plus automatic gain control for balanced exposure.
Suits wide-area monitoring.
This camera suits installers who need a single device to cover a broad horizontal scene such as a hallway, forecourt or retail floor. Buyers who require optical zoom for distant identification or a narrower field of view with higher pixel density should look at alternative form factors. The fixed 8 mm focal length and 180° coverage define its operational envelope.
6400 x 1200 resolution across 180° view
The horizontal resolution of 6400 pixels spread over the 180° field of view is the specification that decides whether this model meets the required pixel-per-metre density for the intended scene. If the target area demands finer detail at the edges of the panorama, a different sensor or lens combination will be necessary.

Questions about this item
What does the 8MP 180° surround video capture actually show on a monitor?
The 6400 x 1200 resolution spreads across a full 180° panoramic view so a single camera covers a wide area without mechanical panning.
How does the H.264 / MJPEG compression affect bandwidth and storage on an NVR?
H.264 reduces bit-rate for continuous recording while MJPEG provides low-latency frames for live viewing; both are standard NVR codecs.
What mounting hardware is needed for the surface-mount design?
The camera installs directly on a flat ceiling or wall using the integrated surface-mount bracket; no recessed cut-out or pendant kit is required.
