EL5 NanoDome Camera

Discreet indoor surveillance with wide-angle coverage and enterprise-grade security

The March Networks® EL5 NanoDome delivers powerful video performance in an ultra-compact, discreet design—roughly the size of a tennis ball. Purpose-built for space-limited, high-traffic indoor environments, it captures wide-angle, high-resolution video without drawing attention, making it ideal for retail, banking, quick-service restaurants, and transit locations.

Despite its small footprint, the EL5 NanoDome combines 5MP imaging, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), and Smart IR illumination to deliver clear, balanced video day and night—helping teams monitor critical areas with confidence.

Key Benefits:

Mini size, major performance – Ultra-compact design fits discreetly into any environment
Wide-angle, high-resolution video – 5MP resolution with a wide field of view captures broad coverage with clarity
Reliable day and night visibility – WDR and Smart IR provide consistent images in challenging lighting
Versatile indoor installation – Ideal for ceilings, point-of-sale counters, entryways, and vestibules
Full system integration – Works seamlessly with March Networks Command™ and Searchlight™ Cloud
Enterprise-grade cybersecurity – Signed firmware, HTTPS, encrypted streaming, and NDAA compliance

Discreet Coverage for Space-Limited Environments

Designed to blend into its surroundings, the EL5 NanoDome is well suited for locations where traditional cameras may be too large or visually intrusive. Its compact form factor allows organizations to maintain store aesthetics and customer experience while still capturing high-quality video across key areas.

Typical deployment areas include:

Retail checkout and point-of-sale counters
Financial institution teller lines and lobbies
Restaurant ordering and pickup areas
Entryways, vestibules, and corridors

Clear Imaging Day and Night

The EL5 NanoDome features a 5MP progressive CMOS sensor that captures sharp video at up to 2880 × 1620 resolution. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) helps balance scenes with bright backlighting or shadows, while integrated Smart IR illumination provides up to 30 m (100 ft) of night visibility for reliable 24/7 monitoring.

Built-in Analytics

The EL5 NanoDome includes built-in, on-camera analytics that help security and operations teams detect activity, reduce investigation time, and quickly locate relevant video when used with March Networks software.

These analytics enable teams to move beyond passive monitoring and focus attention on events and behaviors that matter most.

Intrusion detection

Detects unauthorized entry into defined areas

Loitering detection

Identifies people remaining in an area beyond set time

Line crossing detection

Triggers alerts when objects cross a defined boundary

Unattended object detection

Detects objects left behind in monitored areas

Missing object detection

Identifies removal of objects from a defined area

Crowd detection

Detects gatherings exceeding a configured people threshold

Smart motion detection

Filters motion events to reduce false alarms

Seamless Integration with March Networks Software

Fully integrated with March Networks Command ™, the EL5 NanoDome supports centralized management, remote access, and intelligent search when used as part of the March Networks ecosystem. Compatibility with Searchlight™ Cloud enables organizations to scale video operations and gain deeper visibility across locations.

Flexible storage options—including onboard microSD (up to 1 TB) and network-attached storage (NAS)—help ensure video retention even during network interruptions.
