Vivotek SF8172 5MP 360° Surround View Fisheye Fixed Dome Network Camera

VIVOTEK SF8172/72V are the latest fisheye fixed dome network cameras from VIVOTEK, featuring a detailed 5-Megapixel resolution sensor with superb image quality. Equipped with a fisheye lens for 360° surround view (ceiling/floor/table mount) without blind spots, the camera is able to provide coverage of wide, open areas, such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices and more. As with all VIVOTEK true day/night cameras, the SF8172/72V feature removable IR-cut filters, maintainingclear images 24 hours a day. SF8172V’s IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions; additionally, the vandal-proof IK10-rated housing effectively provides robust protection from physical damage. Together with 802.3af compliant PoE, MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for on-board storage, EN50155 (SF8172V only) and iPad applications, the SF8172/72V are indisputably the top choice for constructing a robust surveillance system with the greatest coverage possible. Moreover, SF8172/72V are compatible with the VIVOTEK Panoramic PTZ solution. Panoramic PTZ is a groundbreaking new technology developed by VIVOTEK for monitoring open areas with extreme detail. This feature is realized through the synergy of a VIVOTEK megapixel fisheye camera with speed dome camera, and allows users to simultaneously monitor an area overview from a fisheye model while providing the capability for a detailed regional view from a speed dome. Suitable applications for Panoramic PTZ include department stores, station lobbies, airports, parking lots, and any wide open areas where comprehensive video surveillance systems and the capability for extreme video detail are essential. The SF8172 provides electronic pan/tilt/zoom functions, allowing users to move to a target region in the viewing window without a mechanical movement. In a “panoramic view” and a “regional view”, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily focus on a region of interest (ROI) using the mouse wheel. Compared to the conventional mechanical PTZ, the ePTZ feature offers zero-wait operation through client-side control. In addition, with a high-end dewarping algorithm (plug-in), the ePTZ on the SF8172/72V respond swiftly and seamlessly to user’s control.
