Dependable security coverage for everyday environments
The March Networks EL2 Dome Camera delivers reliable HD video surveillance with 2MP resolution, integrated infrared illumination, and intelligent motion detection in a compact, durable dome design.Â
Built for organizations that need dependable protection without the added cost of higher-resolution cameras, the EL2 Dome offers a practical and scalable surveillance solution.Â
As the 2MP counterpart to the EL5 IR Dome, it delivers the same rugged design and essential features in a more cost-effective camera for monitoring entrances, retail spaces, offices, hallways, and building exteriors.Â
Key BenefitsÂ
- Reliable video day or night. 2MP resolution with Smart IR illumination up to 30 m ensures clear images in changing lighting conditions. Â
- Proactive video intelligence. Built-in analytics such as tripwire, intrusion and loitering detection help identify suspicious activity automatically.  Â
- Discreet, vandal-resistant design. Compact dome with IP66 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance for indoor or outdoor deployment.  Â
- Flexible coverage and installation. Motorized lens with wide field of view makes it easy to adjust the camera for optimal scene coverage.  Â
- Reliable video retention. Local microSD or NAS recording helps ensure critical video is retained during network interruptions.Â
Clear Video in Any Lighting Condition
The EL2 Dome delivers reliable video performance across changing lighting conditions. Built-in infrared illumination enables the camera to capture clear images even in low-light or completely dark environments.Â
With IR coverage of up to 30 meters (98 ft), the camera supports dependable nighttime monitoring for entrances, hallways, parking areas, and building exteriors. Â
Smart IR technology automatically adjusts illumination intensity to prevent overexposure when subjects move closer to the camera, helping maintain balanced image quality.Â
Compact Dome Design for Flexible Deployment
The EL2 Dome combines durability and discretion in a compact housing designed for commercial environments.
Its vandal-resistant dome design helps protect the camera from tampering while maintaining a professional appearance in public areas such as retail stores, offices, schools, and financial institutions.
With Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support and a streamlined installation process, the EL2 Dome is easy to deploy across single sites or large multi-location networks.
Video Analytics for Smarter Surveillance
The EL2 Dome includes built-in video analytics capabilities that help security teams detect meaningful activity faster and reduce unnecessary alerts.
Smart Motion Detection
The camera’s intelligent motion detection can distinguish between people, vehicles, and other objects, helping reduce false alarms caused by lighting changes, shadows, or environmental movement.
Faster incident response
By automatically identifying relevant events, analytics help operators quickly locate important footage and respond to incidents more efficiently.
Improved operational efficiency
Reducing unnecessary alerts streamlines investigations and improves the overall effectiveness of your video surveillance system.
Built for Efficient Storage and Network PerformanceÂ
The EL2 Dome supports H.265 video compression, significantly reducing bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high video quality. Â
Combined with onboard microSD edge storage, the camera provides built-in redundancy to ensure video remains available even if the network connection is temporarily disrupted. Â
This combination of efficiency and reliability makes the EL2 Dome well suited for organizations deploying surveillance across multiple locations.Â
