3MP WDR mini-box network camera

Vivotek announced the launch of its latest compact size network camera model IP8173H. Designed in a mini-box form factor, it fits into a range of enclosures with a CS-mount lens, offering flexible installation for monitoring under a diverse set of surveillance environments, such as retail, government, industrial, hotel security and city surveillance.

The IP8173H is designed with several features for capturing the utmost in image quality. Featuring a 3-Megapixel WDR CMOS sensor, it enables viewing resolution of 2048x1536 at 20 fps or 1920x1080 at 30 fps. The WDR Pro feature allows the camera to deliver good image quality under challenging lighting conditions and secure video quality close to the capabilities of the human eye by capturing both the dark and bright parts of an image. The images are then combined to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene. Moreover, being designed with a removable IR-cut filter, it can help identify objects at all hours.

In order to ensure image sharpness and depth of field, the IP8173H is packaged with a P-iris lens with a built-in stepper motor, which controls the iris with extreme precision and maintains the iris opening at an optimal level at all times. The image quality is therefore enhanced and optimised for objects at ­different distances.
