FLIR CM-3505-11-I FLIR Ariel 5MP Mini Dome

When you need discreet 5-megapixel surveillance in tight spaces or aesthetically sensitive environments, mini domes deliver the resolution without the visual bulk. The FLIR Ariel 5MP Mini Dome combines FLIR's proven imaging platform with a compact form factor designed for retail, office, hospitality, and light commercial applications where camera presence matters as much as performance.

Key Features

5-megapixel resolution for detailed facial recognition and license plate capture at appropriate distances

Mini dome housing fits flush to ceilings in low-profile installations

FLIR imaging processing for consistent color accuracy and low-light performance

Network connectivity for integration with existing IP infrastructure and VMS platforms

Wide dynamic range capability to handle challenging lighting contrasts in entryways and windows

Suitable for indoor environments requiring vandal-resistant discrete coverage

PoE support simplifies single-cable installation and reduces labor costs

ONVIF compatibility ensures interoperability across multi-vendor systems

The Ariel series addresses the common deployment challenge of balancing image quality with architectural constraints. At 5MP, this camera provides enough pixel density for forensic detail in most commercial scenarios—identifying individuals, tracking movement across zones, and capturing usable evidence—while the mini dome profile minimizes visual impact on interior design. The compact chassis makes it ideal for dense camera layouts in retail spaces, hallways, and areas where standard domes would appear obtrusive.

Installation teams will appreciate the straightforward mounting and single-cable PoE deployment. The camera integrates into FLIR's United VMS ecosystem while maintaining ONVIF conformance for third-party systems. For integrators managing projects where end users demand both performance and discretion, the CM-3505-11-I delivers a practical middle ground between budget-conscious 2MP options and higher-end PTZ or multisensor platforms.
