Geovision 84-EBD8813-0010 8MP IR Eyeball Camera
Overview
The Geovision 84-EBD8813-0010 is an 8MP fixed eyeball camera built for indoor and outdoor facilities where you need forensic-quality daytime color plus reliable infrared night vision without switching hardware. The 4.3x zoom lens (fixed, not varifocal) gives you framing flexibility at installation—a meaningful advantage over pure fixed-focal alternatives when you're deciding between 2.8mm or 4mm at ceiling height. WDR Pro balances overexposed doorways and dim back rooms in the same frame without the halo artifacts that degrade analytics. IR illumination extends visibility into complete darkness; the combination handles mixed-light deployments (retail floors transitioning to back hallways, office perimeters at dusk) where neither day-mode nor IR-only cameras perform adequately alone. PoE power simplifies cabling—run Cat5e or Cat6 to your switch, no separate 12V supply required. The eyeball form factor is compact and ceiling-mountable, blending into retail, corporate, and light industrial environments where turrets or bullets would stand out.
Compatibility
This is a standalone 8MP IP camera (model 84-EBD8813-0010). It integrates with any standard IP video management platform supporting ONVIF cameras—Milestone XProtect, Axis Camera Station, Genetec Security Center, Hikvision DSS, or open-source platforms like ZoneMinder. It connects via standard RJ-45 cabling to any PoE-capable Ethernet switch or injector. No proprietary connectors, no driver requirements. If you're building a multi-vendor surveillance network, this camera speaks the same network language as competitors' ONVIF-compliant equipment. Wattage is modest enough (under 15W typical) that it won't strain a standard 802.3af PoE switch even when deployed in groups of 8–16 cameras per switch port.
Installation Notes
Mount to ceiling or wall using standard eyeball brackets (included in typical ship). Ensure the IR emitters have a clear line of sight to the target area—IR bounces off glass and won't penetrate solid obstacles. In very high-heat environments (industrial kilns, foundries), verify ambient operating temperature against the camera specs before committing. Outdoor installations benefit from a shroud or semi-recessed housing to shield the lens from direct rain and UV exposure, even though the camera carries an IP rating suited for most covered outdoor spaces.
