Overview
Each application might require a distinct mounting method that allows users to leverage the full capacities of their surveillance cameras. As no two applications are essentially the same, it’s important that Vicon continues to offer versatile mounting options designed to meet the needs of our integrators and operators for any environment. As a result, we are introducing several new mounting options that expand the use cases for many of our cameras.
New Mounting Options
- Pole Mount and Corner Mount Adapter for V2X00B
- Wedge Angled Base for V2000D Micro/V2360 Fisheye Cameras
- Recessed Kit for the 360 Multi-Sensor Camera
- In-Ceiling Mounting Kits for the V2100D
Wedge Angled Base for V2000D Micro/V2360 Fisheye Cameras
This new angled base is a mounting accessory designed for the V2000D
Micro Dome and V2360W-12 Panoramic cameras. It allows the camera to
be surface mounted on a wall or ceiling to provide additional angles that the
camera itself doesn’t permit, eliminating any gaps that may be present with
a traditional mount. For example, a fisheye mounted to a wall would have
a large portion of the ceiling in the field-of-view, but when using the angled
base, the view is optimized to cover the floor to ceiling views. This is useful
for applications that require uninterrupted surveillance should a critical
event take place and further investigation is needed, such as in a casino.
Additionally, the V2XXX-WDG-PLATE adapter plate allows the V2XXX-WDG
to be mounted to a 4x4 electrical plate.
Recessed Kit for the 360 Multi-Sensor Camera
With increasing indoor multi-sensor installations, this kit is exclusively designed for our 360 line of multi-sensors, to allow for recessed installation into a drop ceiling, lowering the profile of the camera while still providing full coverage. This is ideal for applications that want a less conspicuous camera or prefer a lower profile, increasing the field-of-view such as in intersections and hallways.
In-Ceiling Mounting Kits for the V2100D
These mounting kits provide adaptable mounting options for drop or hard ceiling indoor a applications. These in-ceiling kits ensure a stable foundation in each type of ceiling; offering two options is key, especially when many of these domes are used in office type settings that have either or combined settings.
Pole Mount and Corner Mount Adapter for V2X00B
These standard Vicon pole mount adapter and corner mount bracket have been updated with additional bolt patterns and are now compatible with the V2000B-BOX for the V2000B Roughneck Pro Bullet and the V21000B-BOX for the V2100B Roughneck Bullet. When used in corner applications, such as the corner of a building, it can be positioned to achieve the optimal field of view.

Meet Vicon’s New Biometric Kiosk
Move your access control system into the future. Vicon now delivers powerful biometric facial recognition, providing improved safety and precise dual authentication.
Take your standard access control and move it into the future. Our Biometric Kiosk takes access control a step beyond the rest, incorporating facial recognition authentication. This powerful biometric device integrates seamlessly with Vicon’s acclaimed VAX and other Wiegand-based access control systems. This highly accurate authentication delivers powerful protection for your security operation via dual authentication when used with a personal credential. This kiosk can be used as a standalone device or integrated into your current access control system, such as Vicon’s VAX.
Dual Authentication
When integrated into your access control system, it provides increased safety and protection of your facility via dual authentication. Dual authentication requires both a face read from the kiosk and a card swipe from the reader to have access granted or denied, delivering an advanced form of security. The granted access is based upon stored credentials in the internal facial recognition database.
Advanced Facial Recognition Technology
Boasting a powerful recognition rate of only 0.2 seconds, the facial access control device provides highly accurate and rapid contactless identification via an AI algorithm. It quickly identifies known targets and can store up to 30,000 contacts and 60,000 snapshots for thorough and detailed investigations or manual identification. It offers a long measuring distance and a short response time, with an amazingly high face recognition rate in less than 0.2 seconds, even with faces wearing a mask. What is truly exceptional about the kiosk is the precise anti-spoofing facial recognition technology. Anti-spoofing ensures that the stored credentials used to authenticate entry aren’t deceived. The camera intelligently depends on the liveness of the individual to validate entry. These checks help validate whether an individual is physically present or using a photo to spoof the system. All of this combined results in an effective facial recognition device that provides a high level of security and becomes an integral component of your larger security operation.
More Than Just Access Control
The Biometric Kiosk can deliver far more than just dual verification. It can also be leveraged to detect elevated temperatures or if a target is not wearing a mask. Engineered to help screen people for high temperatures, it provides contactless body temperature detection with forehead readings of approximately ±0.9° F / ±0.5° C accuracy and thermal response time of ≤100 milliseconds. If an elevated temperature or no mask is detected, the kiosk can send customizable audio and visual messages to ensure the appropriate next steps are taken.

Vicon has announced the addition of the Roughneck Pro PTZ to their renowned NDAA-compliant Roughneck Series.
The Roughneck Series has changed the way businesses deal with numerous federal guidelines. With a range of powerful camera options for all installations – at aggressive price points – Vicon introduces this PTZ as the latest addition to the lineup. With 2 MP resolution, stunning 30X optical zoom, and superior features such as Starlight low-light imaging, Adaptive IR, advanced AI-analytics, and more, it is easy to see why this PTZ is quickly gaining attention.
The Roughneck PTZ is engineered to withstand challenging environments and is IP66 and IK07 rated. It is ideal for installations in need of sophisticated perimeter protection, at a fraction of the cost.
Some of the truly exceptional features are the diverse processing options. It is engineered to capture crisp images day or night, providing operators with peace of mind and 24/7 surveillance. With True WDR, users can capture crisp details in both bright and dark areas of the scene. Powerful IR illumination reaches an astonishing 492 feet (150 meters) to provide clear details of your environment at night.
Not wanting to settle, Vicon takes this PTZ a few steps forward and packs it with both Adaptive IR and Starlight imaging. With just these two features alone, users are given the opportunity to enable rich image processing and strengthen the reliability of their security operation. Adaptive IR intelligently distributes IR light providing clearer backgrounds for great attention to detail; Starlight low-light provides sharp, vivid colors versus traditional black-and-white processing.
Vicon couldn’t just leave the PTZ with powerful imaging. It also includes extensive AI-driven analytics that can be tailored to meet the needs of any operation. Some of these analytics include line cross, loitering, intrusion, object left/removed, and more.
With all of these incredible features meticulously engineered and tested, the Roughneck Pro PTZ is truly an exceptional contender in the NDAA arena.
The Roughneck PTZ is now available for immediate ordering and shipping.
