Vivotek FD9387-EHTV-V3 5MP Outdoor Dome Camera
The Vivotek FD9387-EHTV-V3 is a professional-grade 5MP outdoor dome camera engineered for high-security perimeter surveillance, parking facilities, and installations demanding exceptional impact resistance and environmental durability. Built with a motorized 2.7–13.5mm lens, IK10 vandal-resistant housing, and IP66/IP67 environmental protection, this camera delivers reliable performance in demanding outdoor conditions spanning -40°C to 60°C.
Key Features
- 5MP resolution with motorized 2.7–13.5mm lens and P-iris for precise exposure control
- 50-meter IR illumination for reliable low-light and night surveillance
- IK10 vandal-resistant metal dome housing designed for high-impact environments
- IP66/IP67 rated for complete dust and water ingress protection
- WDR PRO technology for mixed-lighting performance
- H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with Smart Stream III bitrate optimization
- Object Analytics with Vision VCA for intelligent detection and event triggering
- Two-way audio for remote communication
- PoE (802.3af) power with optional DC 12V and AC 24V support
- MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC local storage for onboard backup
Technical Highlights
The motorized zoom lens delivers flexible focal coverage from 2.7mm to 13.5mm, enabling operators to adjust zoom and focus remotely without physical intervention. The P-iris mechanism maintains optimal depth-of-field and exposure control across all focal lengths, critical for maintaining image quality in variable outdoor lighting.
WDR PRO and 3D Noise Reduction algorithms work in tandem to deliver clean, usable video in challenging conditions—from bright sunlight with shadows to complete darkness with IR illumination. H.265 codec efficiency, paired with Smart Stream III optimization, reduces storage and bandwidth consumption without sacrificing detail.
Object Analytics enable rule-based detection events such as intrusion, loitering, and line crossing, allowing the camera to serve as an active security asset rather than passive recording device. Two-way audio supports remote verification and communication with personnel on-site.
Installation & Power
The camera operates on PoE (802.3af), with DC 12V and optional AC 24V alternatives, providing flexibility in deployment scenarios. Local MicroSD storage enables continuous recording backup independent of network connectivity, ensuring critical footage is retained even during network interruptions.
Applications
- Perimeter security and property boundary monitoring
- Parking facility and lot surveillance
- High-vandalism-risk outdoor installations
- Building entrances and loading docks
- Industrial site security
