Key Product Advantages
The FlexiDome 5100i series combines high-resolution imaging with intelligent analytics and rugged construction for surveillance deployments where reliability and image clarity are critical. Its 360° panoramic coverage reduces the number of cameras needed to monitor large areas, lowering total system cost while maintaining comprehensive visibility.
Advanced Imaging Features
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) balances bright and dark areas in challenging lighting, while Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR) minimizes graininess in low-light conditions. Day/Night functionality automatically switches between color and monochrome modes, and Privacy Masking allows operators to block sensitive areas from recording.

Deployment / Use Cases
This camera is ideal for environments requiring wide-area monitoring with minimal blind spots. The 360° panoramic view makes it particularly effective for retail stores, warehouses, parking lots, school campuses, and public transportation hubs where a single camera can cover large open spaces.
For perimeter security, the infrared night vision ensures clear imaging after dark, while the vandal-resistant construction deters tampering in accessible locations. The PoE capability simplifies installation in retrofit projects where running separate power lines is impractical, and the multiple mounting options accommodate virtually any architectural configuration.
Retail & Commercial Surveillance
Monitor sales floors, entrances, and stock rooms with high-resolution video that supports forensic review. The discreet dome design blends into commercial interiors without drawing attention.
Public Space & Infrastructure Security
Deploy in transit stations, parks, and government facilities where durability and weather resistance are essential. The camera's environmental ratings ensure reliable operation through seasonal changes.
Physical Profile
The dome measures 4.33" (110 mm) in diameter with a height of 1.88" (47.70 mm), presenting a low-profile appearance that minimizes visual intrusion. Weighing just 10.93 oz (310 g), the camera places minimal load on mounting surfaces while its comprehensive mounting kit supports installation on virtually any surface type including drywall, concrete, metal, and wood.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.88" (47.70 mm), 10.93 oz (310 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
