💡 At a Glance

Coram supports high-resolution cameras, including 4K and 12MP devices, though higher resolutions reduce the number of cameras each Coram Point can manage. Coram also supports multi-head cameras, where each head requires an individual license and stream.

Overview

Coram supports higher-resolution cameras to provide detailed, high-quality video streams. However, as camera resolution increases, the number of cameras each Coram Point model can effectively manage decreases. Multi-head cameras are also supported, with each head consuming one license and counting as a separate stream.

Support for 4K Cameras

Coram Point can manage 4K cameras at 8 megapixels, offering enhanced detail for crucial surveillance areas. The following capacity limits apply:

  • CP-S-1 can typically support 8–10 cameras at 4K resolution running at 15 FPS.

  • Other models, such as CP-E-1 or CP-X-1, can also accommodate 4K, but the maximum number of cameras will be lower than their listed full capacity when using standard, lower-resolution cameras.

Tip: To learn more about each Coram Point, refer to Coram Point Models.

Support for 12MP Cameras

12MP cameras are compatible with Coram Point, and deliver extremely high-resolution footage for detailed analytics, but he added resource demands of 12MP feeds further limit how many cameras each Coram Point can handle.

Tip: Consider the impact of both the resolution and frame rate when planning a 12MP deployment to maintain system performance. For more information, contact your Coram representative.

Support for Multi-Head Cameras

Coram Point treats each head of a multi-head - or multi-sensor - camera as a separate video stream, each of which consumes one license. For example, a four-head camera counts as four individual cameras for licensing and capacity purposes.

This approach ensures each camera head’s feed can be independently managed, providing flexibility for varied placements and angles on a single physical device.
