The Montavue MTB180C-FC-SMD4: A Powerful 180° Security Solution for Homeowners and Installers

When it comes to surveillance, wide coverage, clarity, and intelligent features make all the difference. The Montavue MTB180C-FC-SMD4 delivers exactly that—a single camera that combines 4K ultra-HD resolution with AI-powered analytics, low-light full-color imaging, and a 180° panoramic view. It's designed to help homeowners secure their property with fewer cameras, and give professional installers a flexible, high-performance option that saves time and money.

Wide-Angle 4K Clarity in a Single Camera

The MTB180C-FC-SMD4 provides a seamless 180° panoramic image using dual 5MP sensors with advanced image stitching. This eliminates the need for multiple cameras to cover large areas such as driveways, backyards, parking lots, and storefronts. Instead of managing two or three standard cameras with limited overlap, users can rely on a single, low-profile unit delivering full 8MP (4096 × 1856) resolution.

Smart Monitoring with Advanced AI

This camera is equipped with deep learning AI algorithms for intelligent event detection. It distinguishes between humans and vehicles, significantly reducing false alarms caused by animals, weather, or shadows. Features include:

  • Tripwire and intrusion detection

  • Loitering and gathering detection

  • Face detection and attribute recognition

  • Abandoned and missing object detection

These tools are ideal for both residential and commercial applications, giving users detailed insights while installers can offer premium smart surveillance solutions to clients.

Reliable Full-Color Night Vision, Infrared Performance, and Active Deterrence

The built-in warm white LEDs, combined with starlight technology, allow for full-color recording even in near-total darkness. These LEDs offer illumination up to 100 feet, making them ideal for wide-area coverage with color accuracy. For scenarios requiring stealth or no visible light, the camera also includes powerful infrared (IR) LEDs with an effective range of 65 feet, providing high-contrast black-and-white footage in complete darkness.

Additionally, the MTB180C-FC-SMD4 features Smart Motion Detection (SMD) 4.0 technology, enhancing motion analysis accuracy and improving detection reliability. For added protection, it includes active deterrence capabilities such as a built-in siren and flashing warm LED lights that can be triggered on motion or events—deterring intruders before an incident occurs.

Integrated Audio and Two-Way Talk

The camera includes a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio communication. Whether you're speaking to a visitor at your door or addressing someone on your property, the feature adds an extra layer of interactivity and deterrence.

Long-Distance Cable Runs with ePoE

Installers will appreciate the flexibility of Montavue's ePoE (Extended Power over Ethernet) technology. With a single CAT6 cable, the camera can transmit power and data up to 800 meters (2,625 ft), reducing the need for repeaters or multiple cable runs. This is particularly useful for large properties, parking areas, or campuses.

Rugged Build for Harsh Environments

Built with a metal and plastic housing, the MTB180C-FC-SMD4 is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance. It operates in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F, making it suitable for outdoor installations across all climates. It also has wide voltage tolerance, helping prevent shutdowns in areas with unstable power supply.

Why It Outperforms Traditional Cameras

  • One Camera for Wide Coverage: Replaces multiple standard cameras, simplifying installation and monitoring.

  • Full-Color and Infrared Night Vision: Maintains clarity in all lighting conditions, day or night.

  • Active Deterrence: Built-in siren and flashing lights help stop threats before they escalate.

  • Smarter Alerts with SMD 4.0: AI-powered features reduce false alarms and provide actionable alerts.

  • Two-Way Audio: Enables real-time interaction, improving both convenience and security.

  • Long-Distance Cabling: Flexible installation options for installers without sacrificing quality.

Ideal Applications

  • Residential driveways, yards, and entrances

  • Small businesses and retail storefronts

  • Warehouses, campuses, and parking lots

  • Rural and large property perimeter surveillance
